Empathy Test lyrics A-Z
All It Takes
Woke up at her place, tired and yawning
Looked out a window on a, perfect morning, there’s a
Sailing boat, in the square
Just like me, wondering how it got there.
Stood by her bed, and I, watched her sleeping
Through her scattered clothes, I go creeping
And I’m wondering
What the hell am I, so afraid of?
This is the beginning of something wonderful
This is the beginning of something magical
This is the beginning of something wonderful.
This is the beginning of something wonderful.
This is the beginning of something magical
And all it gives, and all it takes away.
Woke up at her place, early evening
She floats towards me and I’m, barely breathing, there’s a
Ray of sun, in her hair
Just like me, wondering how it got there.
Stand on the ledge, and I, walk out on the air
I could die here and I, really wouldn’t care
I’m dropping in, I’m dropping out
I’m calling in, I’m calling out.
This is the beginning of something wonderful
This is the beginning of something magical
This is the beginning of something wonderful.
This is the beginning of something wonderful
This is the beginning of something magical
And all it gives, and all it takes away.
Dry docked and landlocked
What the hell am I, so afraid of?
A River Loves a Stone
You are, brittle like the wind
But I can, see right through your skin.
Well you've got such beautiful bones
And I love you like a river loves a stone.
I am, fickle as I'm thin
I shut you out, but you still got in.
My worst intentions have all been overthrown
And now I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
You are, brittle but you'll bend
And I may, break you but you'll mend.
Well you paint me with such subtle tones
And I love you like a river loves a stone.
We are, brilliant though we're flawed
I wish you'd be a little self-assured.
Your best intentions, have all been overthrown
And now I love you - like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Well I could sit and stare at you for hours
Like a bouquet of funeral flowers
But every leaf is painted black
And every petal is as pale as wax.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Oh yeah I love you like a river loves a stone.
I love you like a river loves a stone.
Burroughs & Bukowski
Leave a light on for me
So I can find my way into your dreams.
When I look at you
I always catch you looking, back at me.
I know you’re afraid
And I know deep down you’ll, never leave.
What do you want from me?
I guess I'm just your little, fantasy.
I'm on my way back home
Burroughs and Bukowski
Time better spent alone
Burroughs and Bukowski
What did it really mean?
Was it just another dream within a dream?
We’ll shed another skin
Becoming something we have, never been.
You’re like a flower in bloom
As I watch you walk back, to your room.
Sew my shadow back on
And I’ll return wherever, I came from.
I'm on my way back home
Burroughs and Bukowski
Time better spent alone
Burroughs and Bukowski
Doubts
For all your doubts I will be strong.
The more you put me through
The more, I will belong to you.
And I long to be free from this apathy.
I'm sick of playing mind games
In your basement flat in Chelsea.
So tell me what you want from me
And I promise I will be
More than you need.
At the end of Hollywood Road you fell apart.
You could blame the cocaine,
You could, blame an empty heart.
But I long to be, long to belong.
I long to be, long to belong.
So tell me what you want from me
And I promise I will be
More than you need.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
There is no substitute for love
No feeling
Tell me when you’ve had enough.
Fear of Disappearing
Stay close to your television tonight
Wrap your arms around its cold, dull light.
‘Cause it’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
Tell me how many people do you really know?
How long will it be before they go?
I don’t know...
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
Everything you do will be erased.
The moment that you leave, you’ll be replaced
And you won’t know.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
I’ve been waiting for something
That never comes.
And everything of any worth’s been done.
And I’ve been living in here
With mediocrity, surrounding me.
And I’ve been living in fear of disappearing
No one hearing me.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
It’s a low, lonely time to be alive.
By My Side
Oh how we carry with us, traumas of the past
Faithful to moulds in which we’re cast.
Hand me down dysfunction, recidivist desire watch me
Throw another lover on the fire.
There’s a great white elephant, hidden in the room
Maybe you didn’t see him in the gloom.
You say that I am empty, emotionally devoid
Blame it on whatever, happened to the boy.
And maybe it’s better we don’t talk about it all
Maybe it’s better we don’t talk at all but
Don’t you want to be by my side?
I only want to be by your side.
Don’t you want to be by my side?
I only want to be by your side.
The boy in the photograph made me want to cry
When I saw the emotion in his eyes.
Is it any wonder I’m struggling to cope?
Is it any wonder we’re giving up hope?
And maybe it’s better we don’t talk about it all
Maybe it’s better we don’t talk at all but
Don’t you want to be by my side?
I only want to be by your side.
Don’t you want to be by my side?
I only want to be by your side.
Don’t you want to be by my side?
I only want to be by your side.
Don’t you want to be by my side?
I only want to be by your side.
Empty Handed
My heart is an empty vessel
Drifting out to sea
I try my best to be what you want me to be.
You can try and help me.
You could drown me gently.
You could tell me all of the things that I want you to say.
I hear running water
Hear you knocking on the door.
I spent an hour or more
Just lying on the bathroom floor.
You can try and help me.
You could drown me gently.
You could tell me all of the things that I want you to say.
And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
You
You could walk away
Empty handed.
The wave that came has broken
And the void has swallowed me.
A door before stands ajar
I thought I'd run but I'm not free.
You can try and help me.
You could drown me gently.
You could tell me all of the things that I want you to say.
And you
You could walk away
Empty handed
You
You could walk away
Empty handed.
Firelight
Soft, soft the firelight
On my mother's face
Reading by candlelight
Everything in its place.
Outside the willow tree
Weeping in the wind.
I'm a man more sinned against
Than sinning oh I swear.
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do.
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do.
When she walked her feet were bare
The wind played in her hair
And when I fell she carried me
She said son, I don't care.
She made me feel like I could do
Anything I wanted to.
I'm a man more sinned against
Than sinning oh I swear.
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do.
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do.
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do.
You know that I'll love you
No matter what you do.
Bare My Soul
Stephen said why not write something
That’s not so deep and meaningful?
But the truth can be so,
Tragic and beautiful.
Blythe said she could never
Tell anyone just how she feels.
How will anyone know when,
She caves in and it all gets real?
I want to bare my soul -
In a way that no one can.
In the hope that
some of you might understand
How it feels
To be so alone.
To be so alone.
To be so alone.
Cassandra said she’d lost the plot
When she stopped the car to drop me off.
I watched her disappear
Her face reflected in the rear-view mirror.
Sophie woke me in the dead of night
To tell me how her dad had died.
I lie here in the dark but,
Now there’s nowhere left to hide.
I want to bare my soul
In a way that no one can.
In the hope that,
Some of you might understand
How it feels
To be so alone.
I want to bare my soul
In a way that no one can.
In the hope that,
Some of you might understand
How it feels
To be so alone.
Demons
All of my dreams have flown away
All of my ambition with the wind
Now you’re here.
I never thought I would be satisfied
With anything I had
Now I’m not so sure.
I waited so long for you
Now you’re here I don’t know what to do
With you.
I went hunting for love
When I thought I’d lose.
I meant to shoot down a dove
Shot an angel instead.
And now she wakes up every day and she invites
All of my demons to play.
Fade in fade out like a musical
Rhythm and rhyme in time
Our heart beats sing
Just to remind you we’re still alive in here.
I waited so long for you
Now you’re here I don’t know what to do
With you.
I went hunting for love
When I thought I’d lose.
I meant to shoot down a dove
Shot an angel instead.
And now she wakes up every day and she invites
All of my demons to play.
Well I love her, I hate her
I abhor her, I adore her
Just the same, just the same
Just the same, just the same.
Well I love her, I hate her
I abhor her, I adore her
Just the same, just the same
Just the same, just the same.
Everything Will Work Out
As the dawn breaks, on the last day -
Of a long, long year,
My head aches, but the bedroom is bright and
I'm wide awake.
And you’re here -
And it's such a relief to finally
Have you near ...
But I almost hear you thinking,
I can almost hear you thinking,
About ... him.
And all that you'll leave behind,
Lies heavy on your mind
Heavy on my mind
But I've got this funny feeling everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything
Will fall --- into place.
So pack up your things and just leave him,
Come right out and just tell him where you were tonight.
Or kiss him tonight with the same mouth,
You used on me in my ... cold house,
And I promise I won't tell.
But I almost hear you thinking,
I can almost hear you thinking,
About ... him.
And all that you'll leave behind,
Lies heavy on your mind
Heavy on my mind
Here I go, another romantic on overflow,
I locked you out but you won't go,
The keys tied round your neck
Haven't quite strangled you yet.
And I live with my regrets,
Like you with your cigarettes,
I long to give you up,
Before you kill me.
We're too tied, too well-tied together.
Here is the Place
Drive me slow, down the road
Sound the horn on every bend.
Bow your heads, respect the dead
For he had many, many friends.
Now follow the road, through the tunnel of trees
To the big, wide open field
And take a left, up the muddy track
To the house where I grew up.
And here is the place, when I die
I want you to bury me.
Beneath this old, willow tree;
Enough of an epitaph for me.
And here is the place, when I die
I want you to bury me.
These friendly roots, will hold my bones
And I will never be alone.
Stop the car, on the track
Stoop to kiss me - I can’t kiss you back.
Shed no tears, for all the years
You’ve made up for what I lacked.
Heave me up, to head height
On the shoulders of my friends
And lay me down, on the lawn
When all the curtains have been drawn.
And here is the place, when I die
I want you to bury me.
Beneath this old, willow tree;
Enough of an epitaph for me.
And here is the place, when I die
I want you to bury me.
These friendly roots, will hold my bones
And I will never be alone.
Holding On
The moment that you wake from your disguise
They record you with their eyes.
No matter how, long or hard they try
You know they won’t shake it
You know they won’t shake it.
Reaching for the seam that holds you in
To find where you begin.
Frozen in the pose they’ve chalked us in
You know we can’t break it
You know we can’t break this.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
The shutter clicks and we’re immortalised
Flashbulb our goodbyes.
No matter how, long or hard you try
You know you can’t fake it
You know you can’t fake this.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Slowly disappearing out of view
Holding on to you.
Incubation Song
Take me
Contain me in your womb
Don't give me room to breathe.
Suffocate me
Reinstate me in you.
I am falling apart
I am falling apart tonight
So just imprison me
And shower me in light.
Choke me
Envelope me inside
I know you see through each disguise.
Swallow me
I cannot cope with life
You said there's too many people on this earth anyway
And we're not going to get very far
If we run away
Consume me
Consume me with your love
Rejuvenate me
Come and take me away
Break me
Rebuild me your own way
I have been this shape too long.
Disintegrate me, invigorate me anew.
You said there's too many people on this earth anyway
And we're not going to get very far if we run away
Last Night on Earth
She sings me the saddest of songs
I cannot help but sing along
Forever after in my head.
There’ll be no stopping once she starts
The eternal burden of the queen of my heart
I want to be free, but can't let go.
She doesn't really know why...
I feel so tired I could die
Leave my window open wide
Let my spirit feel the night.
Now I have nothing more to say
I said too much now anyway
Lead me out into the night
The last night on earth...
And it’s you -
Running rivers through me
It's like you always knew me
From the moment of my birth
You'll be the death of me.
It’s you -
Running rivers through me
It's like you always knew me
From the moment of my birth
You'll be the death of me.
And now I have nothing more to say
I said too much now anyway
Lead me out into the night.
Making Worlds
What darkened pathway brought us here?
Our primal instincts drove our fear.
Released, we were lost in an instant.
Love made us blind despite our resistance.
Do we go back in time again?
See who was wrong and who's to blame?
We fell into routine and madness
Overly burdened with all of our sadness.
Release these strings I feel
Let, go this unrelenting wheel of fate.
Drowning in these moods
So well-defined but
I cannot be without, you
Making worlds in my head
Aching, still chasing
Dreams that you made for me.
What motion sickness grows inside?
Overexposed and still denied.
Reprieve made us colder and distant
Lost in our thoughts despite your insistence.
Do we go back in time again?
See who was wrong and who's to blame?
We fell into routine and madness
Overly burdened with all of our sadness.
Release these strings I feel
Let go this unrelenting wheel of fate.
Drowning in these moods
So well defined but
I cannot be without, you
Making worlds in my head
Aching, still chasing
Dreams that you made for me.
I cannot be without, you
Making worlds in my head
Aching, still chasing
Dreams that you made for me.
Seeing Stars
Everybody knows you’re not perfect
But you still do your best to hide your flaws.
Everything you do is just surface
But we all know what goes on behind closed doors.
You’ll never know how it feels
To be out on a limb, in the wind.
And you’ll never know how much it hurts
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
Everything we do is falling snowflakes
It will all have melted by the dawn.
Give up all your fears for your own sakes
And follow me out into the storm.
You’ll never know how it feels
To be out on a limb, in the wind.
And you’ll never know how much it hurts
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
To fall so hard you see stars
Holy Rivers
Please don’t tell me
You think it’s too late.
I’m not ready
To accept this fate.
The seas will rise
To reclaim the land
And we’ll realise
We are still so small.
Peace be with you
When the lights go out.
Hearts are heavy
Overcome by doubt.
Seas will rise
To reclaim the land
And we’ll realise
We are still so small.
We run like tears
Through the flood of
Holy Rivers
We run like tears
Through the flood of
Holy Rivers
Please don’t tell me
We can not prevail.
Heaven help me
If we are to fail.
Seas will rise
To reclaim the land
And we’ll realise
We are still so small.
We run like tears
Through the flood of
Holy Rivers
We run like tears
Through the flood of
Holy Rivers
Just Got Home
Didn't practice all these hours just to fall apart
Didn't write these lines, to break your heart.
But time goes, slowly by
And still no one here can tell me why.
The fire that we felt we felt is over now
The colours fade like the bruise you made
My mind goes, to overdrive
And still no one here can tell me why.
You made me feel like
There's nothing left.
You made me feel like, giving up.
You made me feel like
There's nothing left.
You made me feel like
I'd just got home.
Did I say that I was over you?
Well, I was wrong.
You say you've moved on
Well, I'm not that strong.
But time goes, slowly by
And still no one here can tell me why.
You made me feel like
There's nothing left.
You made me feel like, giving up.
You made me feel like
There's nothing left.
You made me feel like
I'd just got home.
Like I'd just got home.
Like I'd just got home.
Like I'd just got home.
Like I'd just got home.

Losing Touch
Scared of losing touch
If I really mean that much
Why pretend that you love him?
Don't call me out the blue
When it's clear that I still do
And you know he knows it too.
Going home alone
The only love I've known
It's always been you.
It’s always been you.
Tell me it's not real
Tell me he doesn't make you feel
The way I made you feel.
If you care for me at all
You'll hang up when I call
You'll clear me space to fall.
If you give I will receive
And despite what they believe
It's always been you.
It's always been you.
It’s always been you.
When you're feeling alone
And you're colder than stone
Call me you know...
It's always been you.
Monsters
When all's been said and done
And another day's begun.
When the lines go on and on
And all you've got is gone.
You've doused yourself in sin
And the daylight's creeping in.
When the shadows start to grow - oh!
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go.
When all's been said and done
No distance left to run.
When the emptiness arrives
And there's nowhere left to hide.
When it's stacking up inside
From the corners of your mind.
When the teardrops start to flow - oh!
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Again.
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Again.
Maybe it's time to go
Maybe it's time to go
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Again.
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Baby I've got the monsters
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
They're creeping up
Again.
Siamese
Too late, too tired
My eyes were open yours were wide.
You looked for the sympathy that I
Couldn't find for you again, tonight.
Too late, although I tried
I knew the distance was all too wide.
I feel you reaching out for me but I
Couldn't be with you again, tonight.
I find myself thinking
How much easier it would be
If you, and me, were
Siamese
You call me late at night
You tell me all, the heartache in your life.
I do my best to empathise but I
Haven't got a clue what you're going through.
Maybe I never will,
Maybe I never really will.
And I find myself thinking,
How much easier it would be,
If you, and me, were
Siamese.
Sleep
Stay here for a while, don’t go
Don’t leave me alone or we’ll never know.
Stay here for a while, let’s sleep
Don’t wake me up ‘cause I need to dream.
I need to sleep and to dream.
Stay here for a while, let’s weep
There is too much sorrow for me to keep
Inside of me
I need to sleep and to dream.
I am, not in love
These feelings will just fade away.
I am, not in love
These feelings will just fade away
And though I think of you here today
You’re further and further away.
Stay here for a while, don’t go
Don’t leave me alone or we’ll never know.
Stay here for a while, let’s sleep
Don’t wake me up ‘cause I need to dream.
I am, not in love
These feelings will just fade away.
I am not in love
These feelings will just fade away
And though I think of you here today
You’re further and further away.
Trampoline
Coming down again
Won't you leave a trampoline
At the foot, of the stairs?
So I won't break my neck
Falling out, of your favour.
White powder, speaks louder
Than any words you're saying
My flower, turned sour
I found the petals at the end, of the bed.
'It's just 'media-types' -
You know what they're like'
Well yeah, I do, but I never pictured you with them,
Coming in from the cold,
You're losing your hold,
On a part of me you'd stolen.
I've stopped, calling you when I'm drunk,
I've taken the time to hear the one,
Voice that's telling me,
That you don't really care,
I'm getting there -
I'm almost at the point of no return.
But there's a light that burns
White powder, speaks louder,
Than any words you're saying,
My flower, turned sour,
I found the petals at the end, of the bed.
'It's just 'media-types' -
You know what they're like'
Well yeah, I do, but I never pictured you with them,
Coming in from the cold,
You're losing your hold,
On a part of me you'd stolen.
Just turn out the lights
You know what they're like'
Well yeah, I do, but I never pictured you with them,
Coming in from the cold,
You're losing your hold,
On a part of me you'd stolen.
Stop
Everything, everything all at the same time.
Anything, anything to escape my mind.
And I can't go to sleep at night
Until I see the morning light.
There's no one in your arms again
And still we all have to pretend
We're fine.
Everything, everything's burning on the inside.
Anything, anything to numb the pain you hide.
And I can't seem to calm my nerves
Moods don't swing they only swerve.
Now I'm a nervous wreck again
And still we all have to pretend
We're fine.
When all of my darkest thoughts
Roam through my head.
And I'm lying for hours awake in my bed.
If you only knew what you're doing to me
Would you stop?
Or would you just carry on?
Everything, everything's twisted up and broken.
Anything, anything - tell me you were joking.
And I can't seem to look away
I die a thousand times a day.
Let's analyse it all again
Until we're ready to pretend
We're fine.
When all of my darkest thoughts
Roam through my head
And I'm lying for hours awake in my bed.
If you only knew what you're doing to me
Would you stop?
Or would you just carry on?
When all of my darkest thoughts
Roam through my head
And I'm lying for hours awake in my bed.
If you only knew what you're doing to me
Would you stop?
Or would you just carry on?
Vampire Town
I need a break from this vampire town
It sucks my blood and leaves me to drown
In a lover’s bed I might rest my head
But don’t go thinking I’ve left you for dead.
The wind blows around these tired feet
That push me always down a one way street
You know I love you all I need is time
What’s yours is yours and what’s mine is mine
And I know that we, will always be friends
And I know that we, will always be friends
And I know that we, will always be friends
And I know that we, will always be friends
I wrote you a letter there’s no need to reply
I’ll be the one who always swallows his pride.
I believe in destiny, I believe in fate
I believe it’s never going to be too late
And I know that we, will always be friends
And I know that we, will always be friends
And I know that we, will always be friends
And I know that we, will always be friends
Hope For Me
I know how you want things to be
And I know how far, away we are
And I know that you need someone
Who worships you.
But I think that you know by now
That’s not, what I do, or who I am.
Let’s not try to change each other
We are, who we are.
And every time you hope for me
This is what you get from me.
Every time you hope for me
This is what you get from me.
I know how you want me to be
And I know how far, away I am
And I know that you need someone
Who cares, for you.
But I think that we know by now
That when, I’m up, you're always down.
How can we be together
But still, feel alone.
And every time you hope for me
This is what you get from me.
Every time you hope for me
This is what you get from me.
Kirrilee
You remind me
Of places, I have never been.
You take me to places
I wish that I had seen with my own eyes.
(But) you know that I am happy here
Staring into yours.
Light another cigarette now honey
Mix another snakebite & black
We’ve only a short while here,
To be, ourselves.
We’re only a short while here,
So just be, yourself now Kirrilee.
I caught my mouth upon
The stud, on your lower lip.
I tossed you the paperclip
To unlock the door, unlock the door
But you, stepped right inside of me.
We’re only a short time here
So just be, yourself now Kirrilee.
We’ve only a short while here,
To be, ourselves.
We’ve only a short while here,
To be, ourselves.
We’ve only a short while here,
To be, ourselves.
We’re only a short while here,
So just be, yourself now
Kirrilee.
Love Moves
I don't want anything from you
Just a light, to light my way.
And I won't take up too much of your time
I'll always need the odd night alone.
You can tell me your dreams
And I will listen with an open mind.
You can guarantee I'll be taking note
Please don't leave me behind.
Love moves
Faster than anything I know
Take me wherever you go.
Love moves.
I don't need anything from you
Just to know, you're on my side.
And when I'm tired and broken by this life
I'll always need a safe place to hide.
You can tell me I’m wrong
And I won’t even try to change your mind.
And you can guarantee I'll be making time
Please don't leave me behind.
And love moves
Faster than anything I know
Take me wherever you go.
And love moves.
And love moves
Faster than anything I know
Take me wherever you go.
And love moves.
And love moves
Faster than anything I know
Take me wherever you go.
And love moves.
And love moves

Safe From Harm
I want know, where your sorrow flows
I want to go where no one goes.
I want sail, the dark ocean in you
And make it to the other...side.
And I won't wait
For the flood gates to break
And I won't wait until it's too late
I want to know where your sorrow grows
I want to know what no one knows.
I want to scale, the dark wall around you
And break through to the other...side.
And I won't wait
For the flood gates to break
And I won't wait
Until it's too late.
I will keep, you safe from harm.
I will keep, you safe from harm.
I will keep, you safe from harm.
I will keep, you safe from harm.
And I won't wait
For the flood gates to break
And I won't wait
Until it's too late.
And I won't wait
For the flood gates to break.
And I won't wait
Until it's too late.
Skin
I'm too afraid to put down in words
All the thoughts I've been keeping
On the tip of my tongue for too long.
And you're too scared of being alone
To be by yourself
Long enough to feel fine
In your own skin.
But I see you've moved on
A little too fast
For me to believe
You've left the past behind.
I'm just another boy
With a bruised ego
Who can never let go
Of something he didn't know
He had at the time.
Isn't it always the same?
I'm too afraid to put down in words
All the thoughts I've been hiding
In the back of my mind for so long.
You say a year is plenty of time
To be by myself
Long enough to feel fine.
In my own skin.
But I see you've moved on
A little too fast
For me to believe
You've left the past behind.
I'm just another boy
With a bruised ego
Who can never let go
Of something he didn't know
He had at the time.
Isn't it always the same?
But I see you've moved on
A little too fast
For me to believe
You've left the past behind.
I'm just another boy
With a bruised ego
Who can never let go
Of something he didn't know
He had at the time.
Isn't it always the same?
Throwing Stones
Flicking through yesterday’s news
Slipping my neck into the noose again
Well it fits so well.
Doesn’t know where her loyalties lie -
Then again neither do I.
Going out getting drunk on gin
Waking up in her arms but then I
Never knew it would be so hard
Never knew I would be a part of this
Bitterness.
I try to fall awake but I still sleep
Wait for a week but I am weak
And resolutions fail
And once again I’m throwing stones
At your window.
Throwing stones
At your window.
Stand in the payphone count to ten
But you won’t call me back again.
Sends a little shiver right through me
When I hear you running down to me.
But I know you’ll only turn away
‘Cause you’ve got nothing left to say to me
Well hear me out.
I try to fall awake but I still sleep
Wait for a week but I am weak.
And resolutions fail
And once again I’m throwing stones
At your window.
Walk Right Out
White light broke the dead of night
Screaming woke the household from their sleep.
No one dreams here any more
At least not for the moment.
My little sister rise up from, your bed again
Think happy thoughts and let it go.
Hold on tight, let go lightly
One last night -
Battered and bruised but not broken
You walk right in, and walk right out.
I'm not sure what to feel
And I'm not sure of the best advice to give
And I'm not sure we will readily forgive him but
Think happy thoughts and let it go.
Hold on tight, let go lightly
One last night -
Battered and bruised but not broken
You walk right in, and walk right out.
Where I Find Myself
If it wasn’t for the loneliness (then)
I could bare the solitude of
These terrible silences, these
Horrific injuries are
Simply where I find myself now.
Where I find myself.
And I’ve been down so long now that
It just looks like up to me.
These terrible silences, these,
Horrific injuries are,
Simply where I find myself now.
Where I find myself.
We bury ourselves deep inside with the
Things we cannot vocalise and
These terrible silences, these
Horrific injuries are
Simply where I find myself now
Where I find myself.
But even as my back is turned your
Undoing all the things we’ve learned and
These terrible silences, these
Horrific injuries are
Simply where I find myself now.
Where I find myself.
