Bodyjar are an Australian punk rock/pop punk band based in Melbourne. They began performing under the name Bodyjar in 1994; their previous names included Damnation and Helium. After a two year hiatus, Bodyjar announced new dates
The lineup at the time Bodyjar disbanded included only two original members - vocalist/guitarist Cameron Baines and bassist Grant Relf. Guitarist Tom Read and drummer Shane Wakker completed the line up. Tom replaced founding member Ben Petterson who left before How It Works and in early 2004 Shane replaced long-time drummer Ross Hetherington who had been with the band since original drummer Charles Zerafa left after the recording of Take A Look Inside.
Taken all my chances
Wondering if your still around
There are no excuses
There is no use talking about
1/You go through life you make it up
2/Its all your mind just make it up
who knows what's waiting for you?
Your strong enough to know the truth about it anyway
That I wont wait this time (decide)
Taken all my chances
Wondering wont help me decide
There are no excuses
I'm not a cool guy anymore
As if I ever was before
I took a look at all the signs
Then rolled it over in my mind
The feelings I could not release
Became a bitter part of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
I looked at my reflection And I saw a stranger's face
I saw where I was going and had to walk away
I lost a girl, it's just as well
She tried to save me from myself
I've still got her on my mind
Tossing and turning in my bed
But if she had stayed another week
I would have dragged her down with me
She took it till she had enough
Is that what I thought love was?
I told her, "See you later" But it's hard to see at all
At the bottom of the barrel
With your back against the wall
I'm not a cool guy anymore
Left it behind and locked the door
I know you can't escape the past
Now I look back and have to laugh
I was my worst enemy
It almost got the best of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
I looked up one day and saw it was up to me
It's the attitude to be in
I'm the one to tell you that
The scene's fucked up
Leave it in
Diaspora
It's time to board the mountain
Rippin' off a kicker
Five fourty switch stance through the air
Butter your muffins
T-Revert front side olly air
My fun is there Lien air
Bonk that nollie tail grab
You're so amped up
Adrenaline is there
Even though it's not true
It's keeping me awake at night
I don't wanna hurt,
But I can't see a way to fight it
I've heard it twice today and,
They're just trying to break it down
They're being carefull though,
What goes around will come around again
Even though it's not too late
It's that you think you're fooling me
I hate you
Keep your conversation next time
Keeping to yourself and,
Lying to your friends and me
You've got no respect,
You're searching for some company
Take a favour from me
Never pay back what you owe
I keep the hatred, you keep nothing inside,
Let it go
Even though it's not too late
It's that you think you're fooling me
There I go when she calls me up
Just when I had you on my mind
I'm finding so much time
That's why I keep on trying to get to you
Hoping what I thought and what I felt was right
And she knows what she wants
I don't want to live in here without you
I don't want to say too much
And that's so hard to do
I wake up thinking that she's not mine
Everytime she might change her mind
I know I'm too late
I need her words to be in my head
The things she said, I could not forget
She knows what she wants
I tried to let her go, but something wouldn't let me
A yellow traffic light and I can't decide
If I should stay or go
I hope you know
I got nothing unless I got her
Wake up now its ten o clock
Lights a cigarette and starts to cough his lungs up
Imagine all the things you'd do
If you could only get out of bed, before noon
Check tomorrow's T.V. guide
I'm living the days of our lives
You seemed so cool
I thought you liked me
I got your number off a friend
?????
?????
?????
You suck
?????
?????
?????
Get off your pedestool
Try and understand it
I'll gladly leave you alone
You suck
My anger settled
And then I realised
Realised the cold hard truth
That you don't really like anybody
You just want us to like you
The feeling that you forgot
The reason you know is not
A question to you now
Why can't you see
You've got no say at all
How does it feel to be
A dollar sign soon to be
A way to sell it all
Straight to the top
Without a doubt at all
Plant the seed
What a waste of time
You need to find a place
To draw the line
Follow the recipe
The company said should be
Successful 'till you fall
End of the trend
The ending of it all
Building an eternity
The was it was meant to be
A cliche ride through fame
It is a sin
We end up all the same
Plant the seed
What a waste of time
You need to find a place
To draw the line
Can't you see
You're running out of time
You're cashing in
Stripped from life as it seems
Was washed away until another day
Words are left inside this memory
And that will always stay
I'll never need a friend to tell me
'Cause they'll never know
Just how it feels to love and loose a friend I can't let go
The years I knew you meant a lifetime to me
You'll always be this way washed away
Your life was washed away
A good time not a long time
I know you said that to me
I hoped that you'd be waiting for me
When my time comes, we'll see
Time won't mend, I felt the weight of you my friend
But I won't dissolve the memory when my time comes we'll see
Haven't seen the way you look at me
But I'm just crying out to see
A friend that will not end up hurting
I said hello again today
But everyone just turned away
Won't be back with the same tomorrow
It's not supposed to be that way I'm just trying not to say
What I think and feel for you today
You want me there you need someone too
Look down on and I'm there for you It's always gonna be the same way
I feel the pain it's in my back
The knives you use are the truths you lack
I'm bleeding now I need to see that
'Cause every night when I go home
I might want to be alone
Someone like you might try to see me
I've worked out It's not fair
It used to be the way things were to stay
Every day, I see you walk away
Every day, It's not to get around
Every day, I see you walk away
Only took one summer and I lost my mind
Got a sinking feeling I'll be left behind
Because you lied to me and covered it up
There's a broken window in an empty room
Spent the morning waiting for the afternoon
And with everything it's never enough for you
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
If I could make the right choice
I was blind to reason when you crossed the line
There was no use telling me to read the signs
Nothing there to me, I covered it up
It's a long way back from where we used to be
And somewhere I ran out of blood to bleed
And with everything it's never enough for you
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
If I could make the right choice
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
If I could make the right choice
Starting over
When it's a hopeless situation
Starting over
Just like I said You're so easily read
Keeping the score When you know that you're so far behind
Remember what I said to you Only speak when you are spoken to
Open your eyes in the dark you can't see Lie to your friends
If you have to be open with them Please don't ask for help my friend
I've got so much blackmail to be sent
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's
Just like I said Keep your thoughts in your head
Trouble this time Your opinion is clashing with mine
I can not see what you mean Haven't touched you yet my hands are clean
Speak up and shout slam the door don't walk out Keep on complaining
The punishment will fit the crime I know that's not quite fair for you
But I don't care there's nothing you can do Like I said you're not my friend
Like I said you're so easily led Like I said you're not my friend
Like I said you're so easily led
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
I can see clearly now he's gone
He made you so uneasy
Before you changed your mind
I couldn't go on that way
You made it so hard for me will you ever know just why
But now you changed your mind will you make it hard again
Time after time Time after time Time after time
You said you wouldn't but I know that you didn't care
I was never there We can start trying now and you can stop crying now
We know that time will tell us what we want
Now look how far we've come we always went our way
The time we're waiting on will soon come our way
Simplify don't deny all the
Things you feel inside
Should I stay? Break away,
It's not what you're thinking
Take a side, compromise,
Gonna let you down again
Strap yourself in for the ride,
It's not what you're thinking
Tolerate, sympathise,
Will they ever realise?
It's all about what you do
Not what you're thinking
Keep it in, make it known,
Plan to never be alone
Take a break, take a pill,
It's not what you're thinking
And then you go and throw your life away
Don't be afraid of your own mistakes, hey
And then you go and throw your life away
I don't care what you're told to say, hey
You want nothing
You got nothing
But if you keep me waiting here
I'm gonna fade away I know
But if you keep me waiting
Pain away
It's getting too hard to know
If you're made a connection
Tell me how far you go when
You're starved for affection
You're gonna break soon
Locked in the bathroom
With all the lights out
Wait for the come down
You got your own life
You better start today
I know there's something I can do
To take the pain away
Living from day to day with
The wrong information
But you only talk to me when
You're under sedation
You're on the wrong side
You gotta fight more
Not just a phone call
Something to live for
You got your own life
but there's a price to pay
I hope there's something I can do
To take the pain away
You cry out, but they never listen
[Verse]
Night turns into day
You wont appreciate the feeling
You leave alone, you lost your home
But you found your urgency
And now I'll make the time to take
All the harm from your world
I wont let go
[Bridge]
Then I go and take a final stand
And leave it all behind me
Or I go and break it all apart and let the pieces kill me
And now it's time to finally see if I believe in me
I think I've drunk my share
And now I just don't care
[Refrain]
Just tell me truthful information
Call it lack of patience
Truthful information
That wonder of creation
It's so much to ask but it's all you need to know
[Verse]
Scream but not from pain
A life can re-arrange the meaning
I watch you grow
Your not alone cause your life's a part of me
I'll help you take the road away
From lie's and fake emotions
That's all I know
It's only fair that I should warn you
The day will come when
You know you've got to
Start coming around and
Say what you're thinking
Turn your back pretend
you don't care
Saying nothing will
get you nowhere
How can you believe a
word they were saying?
This is a call to arms
If we get it right
This is a call to arms
Don't be afraid to fight for your life
What you hear and
what you're reading
Soon become what
you're believing
Are you coming around
to my way of thinking?
You spend your life
You try to make it
Did they teach you a lot?
Do you fake it?
Never tell you enough
Like I pictured in my mind
All the fun that I can find
Faraway from all that history
Even only for a while, I'm waiting
But I know that I survived
When you told the truth but lied
Kept it only when you get me down
Putting why's in front of How's
I'm waiting so faraway
Halfway around the world
Close my eyes
Hope everything will work out
How can you be so sure
That your right
Your confidence will burnout
(bright)
Am I taking all your time
Run it over in my mind
Kept it goin when it gets me down
Now it's only for a while, I'm waiting
Still I know that I survived
When you told the truth you lied
Honest only when it gets me down
Putting lies in front of lives
I can't sleep, 'cause I won't wake up again
I can't read but the writing's on the wall
I lied but I told the truth again
Got so much, I got nothing
Now I've lost the moment
Now I've lost all my control
But I've got the reason I should fight
It's trapped inside
One more chance to make it up to you
One more chance to make it right
One more chance to make a difference
All the simple things are more than worth the fight
I can't move when I should step aside
I can't speak but I've got so much to say
I can't love 'cause I don't feel anything
I can't live but I'm too young to die
Now I've lost the moment
Now I've lost all my control
But I've got the reason I should fight
It's trapped inside
One more chance to make it up to you
One more chance to make it right
One more chance to make a difference
All the simple things are more than worth the fight
I know that it's taking me over slowly
I know but it's better than feeling lonely
A picture on the wall, a picture on the wall
She tried to see exactly what it was
That she saw in him, the day she made her mind up
He used to be the one she'd cry about
She's still crying now, but no-one's gonna hear her
But she told him
She tried to do her best, but she was wrong
In his mind she's only worth what she can give him
So she took two more, then hit the floor
And then made up her mind
There's only one way she can fight it
But she told him
I told you, I'll leave you, don't try to call
Lonely life, kitchen knife
Now he's gone too far
He's not gonna be here forever
Who's sorry, who's sorry now
Don't touch me, you need me
Not one to see, not one to feel
Not one to be a part
Of the way that you think things should be
Set out your rules today
And say that you wont be the same
How could I ever respect you
When you push out this feeling I get
When I'm near you it wasn't meant to
Fuckin' meant to
land on me Not one to say not one to think
Not one to be a part
Of the way that you think things should be
Set out your rules today
And say that you wont be the same
Tell me will you land on me today
Land on me in every single way
Say what you mean
Always say what you mean
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
If anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying
This is where the party ends
I'll just sit here wondering how you
Can stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
You and your racist friend
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
And your racist friend
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you
And your racist friend
I know politics bore you
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise.
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and it looks like you're the best.
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand.
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land.
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande.
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on T.V.
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand.
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land.
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande.
??????????????
??????????????
you make me feel alive alive alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side
or something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land.
And when she shines she really shows you all she can.
What gives you the right?
You're telling me time and time again
You don't know what to fight for this time
You're burning inside just waiting for the flames to rise
You're burning, exploding
I feel let down, can't get up
I'm on the outside looking in
You think you can hide
Still searching for some peace of mind
You can't survive on emotion this time
Just look in my eyes and tell me that you're doing fine
I'm waiting and waiting
I don't want to tell you how to live your life
You know, it's really your decision what you want to do
But I can't stand aside and watch you fall apart
I guess, I'll have you wait till I hear back from you
I guess, I'll have to wait until I get your point of view
If I could stop these thoughts are messing 'round with me
It might not be so hard for me to stay
Don't keep me in the picture
It's not about you
Don't keep me in the picture
What have I got to lose?
Don't keep me in the picture
It's not about you
Gonna try and break away
What have I got to lose?
Nothing's making sense and I feel so confused
Days keep rushing by until I lose contact with you
I know, I can't pretend that I'm okay alone
It might not be so hard for me to stay
Don't keep me in the picture
It's not about you
Don't keep me in the picture
What have I got to lose?
Don't keep me in the picture
It's not about you
Gonna try and break away
What have I got to lose?
Stop thinking about it when you get home
And in a little while you will have to know the truth
The pattern is changing
What have I got to lose?
What have I got to lose?
What have I got to lose?
I took your photo off the wall
So I wouldn't notice you at all
I walked away and close the door
Not thinking of staying anymore
You're telling me it's over
But I don't know if it right
You're telling me it's dark outside
But I can see the light
If I can make it up to you
If I can't run away then I'll find a new direction
If I can't run away I will find you
If I can't run away then I'll find a new direction
What would you do? Bitterness is nothing new
I made a promise to myself
That I'd wouldn't go to you for help
I want the measures that you do
To keep me from running into you
And now I know it's over
But I still don't think it's right
Your telling me that it's dark outside
But I can see the light
If I can't run away then I'll find a new direction
Because I know if I stay, I'll confine you
If I can't run away and your name's too hard to mention
Right from the start we just build it then break it apart
It's been so long since you've been there and you will never find your way
You won't hear my call when the red has turned to grey
And you've run off the path You wont hear my call
I will show you I will show you where to go when you don't know
And at times I feel I wished there's nothing there You wont hear me call
I will show you I will show you where to go when you don't know
I see you've got some time to waste
You wish your dreams away
Why don't you get that gun It could be so much fun
We're biding our time together
We're trying but it doesn't matter
Because we're living in We're living in
Look what progressions done Just look at what it's become
They made things happen fast but never made them last
We're biding our time together
We're trying but it doesn't matter
Because we're living in We're living in
Too many problems in my life
I wish they'd all just get away
Too many problems in my world
When I see you eyes will tun the other way
Things are different since that day you went away
Now I am just a lonely man
And I can't understand a thing about you
Like a seedling I grow in to better things It's far better since that day you went away
Now I am just a lonely man
seen how you're treated
don't wanna turn out like you
so I'd adjusted
you left me feeling confused
I've wasted the last 17 years of my life
I'm not going back
But I'm gunna run away anymore
Not anymore
Under the carpet
You know the things that kids say
Cracks in the mirror
Words in a dark and whole way
All I remember spending december alone
Thanks for the patience
There's nothing left in my heart
I've wasted the last 17 years of my life
I'm not going back
But I'm not gunna run away anymore
Not anymore
I've wasted the last 17 years of my life
I'm not going back
But I'm not gunna run away anymore
(I will be waiting)
Not anymore
(I will be waiting)
[Verse]
Am I awake, it's hard to say
I turn away from the darkest sunrise
I find my clothes and write a note
And let the rain wash the sleep from my eyes
[Bridge]
I won't lie to you I won't tell you something
Now I know there's nothing that I can do
And I'll be gone before tomorrow
Next time
[Refrain]
What if I said that I would do it again
Not giving up
Not giving up this time
My life story
My life story
[Verse]
It wasn't me it wasn't you
A torn up photo inside my pocket
A picture fades, One last mistake
And now I know it's to late to stop it
[Bridge 2]
I've lost everything when self doubt sets in
It seems so easy to runaway
As I look out the window towns keep passing by
[Refrain]
[Refrain]
[Bridge]
[Refrain]
[End]
What if I said that I would do it again
All unite and stand
My life story
My life story
This is my Life Story
This is my Life Story
This is my Life Story
(This is a duet, between Lemmy from Motorhead and Kelly from Girlschool, taken from the "Headgirl" EP)
Don't you touch me baby 'cause I'm shaking so much
Don't you touch me baby 'cause I'm shaking so much
Don't you touch me baby 'cause I'm shaking so much
Don't you touch me baby 'cause I'm shaking so much
(Lemmy)
Well there ain't no other woman that can make me feel this way,
Gets up close, you know I just ain't got a word to say.
Please don't touch I shake so much,
Please don't touch I shake so much.
(Kelly)
Well I get so nervous when I see his eyes that shine,
Gets too close and a chill runs down my spine.
Please don't touch I shake so much,
Please don't touch I shake so much.
(Lemmy)
I don't know why she's got her claws in me,
'Cause I ain't fighting baby, can't you see,
(Both)
Sneaking up the stairway, running like a thief,
Spend the night shaking like a leaf,
(Lemmy)
Oh I remember the first time I took her to a cheap motel,
(Kelly)
Well I woke up drunk, you know I felt like Eskimo Nell.
Please don't touch I shake so much,
Just like I said You're so easily read
Keeping the score When you know that you're so far behind
Remember what I said to you Only speak when you are spoken to
Open your eyes in the dark you can't see Lie to your friends
If you have to be open with them Please don't ask for help my friend
I've got so much blackmail to be sent
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's
Just like I said Keep your thoughts in your head
Trouble this time Your opinion is clashing with mine
I can not see what you mean Haven't touched you yet my hands are clean
Speak up and shout slam the door don't walk out Keep on complaining
The punishment will fit the crime I know that's not quite fair for you
But I don't care there's nothing you can do Like I said you're not my friend
Like I said you're so easily led Like I said you're not my friend
Like I said you're so easily led
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
(You) took me over, let me find a way
I sold my house
I sold my motor too
All I want is to be Next To You
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane
You took me over
Think I'm goin' insane
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me
You took me over, take a look at me
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
You Don't have to believe in something just because you've been.
Told it all your life and now its all that's in between.
A friend would, tell the truth too you
Let go and help you see it too
Do you feel safe?
When there are no excuses left for you to create.
It does it to me every time
You must be reading my mind
A friend, not a stereotype
You'll pretend to be happy until you die, this time I needed you, you just turned away.
There's no-where left to go you know its easier to hide.
And stupid games there all the same until its time, time to play divide.
I played it fast, I hit rewind
there was something in front I was hiding behind
Do I need help?
(Coz) The only person you can rely on now is yourself.
Should of known better than to leave it there.
Clean slate
Suddenly waiting for something that I know won't come
Now I've
Only got time to think how did it end up this way?
Not enough
Not enough inside
All the things that are here to remind me
Would you take them away?
All the things that that you learn to rely on
Change in your lifetime
Dream state
I wont deny now that something was holding us back
Clean slate
Your telling me that your always Broken
And when your sick but you don't know why.
Your gonna be what you always hated
You've got something in your eyes.
Look now, Your throwing it away
Forget the benefits of today
Right now, its time to get away
You've got the reason you live your life everyday.
Gotta stay on a on G basis
Gotta feed it to let it go.
I wont abuse it, your own oasis
Now ya think you know what to do
And things are comin back to you
Don't tell me its hard to see it'll Work out right
All you need is five minutes away
Your turnin every stone today
Don't tell me its hard to see it'll work out right
I cant believe you lied to me
There's no use tryin to explain
(it's) and every time you cross that line
(dissolving everything away)
Now ya think ya know what to do
There's always something else to prove
Don't tell me its hard to see it'll work out right
Just in time for somebody to say
I'll leave it here for you its ok
You tell yourself that you're not good enough
You don't deserve it.
And you got plans to keep it underground
I understand it well
Its all, I'm ten foot tall I watch them all revolve around me
Its like I said we make things happen fast but never make them last.
It's always the same
And there's no one to blame
Keep it bold if you want em to be there.
I wanted to say
Here and gone in a day
Now its old now its over repeated.
He tells the world that he's not good enough
He knows he should be
I know it takes some time to underline, its makin sense now
When all along it's just a dream and all I hear means nothin to me.
Don't sell it short you'll make it harder for you
I wish that I could read your mind
Would it be cold and dark inside?
There's so many questions that
I'm second guessing, I can't decide
Who keeps the things you throw away?
The bottles, the pills, the razor blades
I know in my heart I could see from the start
That you'd fade away
I'm not gonna to make you change your mind
I'm not gonna be the one that sits around in denial
There's no other reason I can find
There's no one to blame but yourself
Live a lie in denial
I'm gonna make you see
Same problem, same remedy
Live in a dark reality
Misplace responsibility
At the end of the day
I just know either way I'll be left behind
So make it tonight, I'll be all right
I will forget every lie that you said
You feel let down again, when
This entertainment seems to never stop.
"She wont talk too him"
And then if I call now, I'll feel better
And I'm not sure I wont.
I can see everything I need before my eyes.
It's time to buy something to save my time
comes with so much more
Should I waste my time?
Maybe finally find
What I've been Searching for
No payback
Think of all the things I do
And I still hold the thought of you
With someone else I know its true so faraway
And I can only hold my breath
And start to die a lonely death
With you and me and all the rest so faraway
Don't say I told you so
One thing you'll never know
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
I can't hold it back you see
I know it all comes back to me
You must have practiced hard to be so faraway
Never wanted me to show
Just write me off I let you go
And now there's more for you to know
So faraway
Don't say I told you so
One thing you'll never know
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
You're not the same
You've changed
Something's missing anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
That I believed in yesterday
Don't say I told you so
One thing you'll never know
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
You're not the same
You've changed
I don't need you anyway
You're not the person
That I believed in yesterday
The situation gets away
when the chips are down
and its all around
and expectations up this time
Disappointment fares
and you wont be there
Just take your time
We've got ordinary lives
they'll take advantage now
Just take ya time
We've got ordinary lives
I'll take my chance
this time
Disintegration gets away
and your askin how
But there's somthin else
Too much to make a difference now
but you needed more
there's an open door
Now I know, you never ever needed it before
I know, I tried when you were walkin out the door
I know, you never ever needed it before
I know, I try but you were walkin out
I never ever needed it before
the situation gets away
when the chips are down and its all around
and expectations of this time
wont eventuate
Sell your car and buy a boat, it's not that far away.
It won't be long if I'm not wrong we'll be dead or sailin on.
The countdown started years ago, the warning signs are here,
And this is one, when the big one comes I'll be safe in knowing fear.
They couldn't touch me anyway.
Can't sleep
Can't talk too
You know we're runnin out of time
Can't sleep
Can't talk too
You know we're runnin out of time
Save yourself it's all in doubt, the world might end today.
For every right there's a lot gone wrong, still we made here today,
It's all we really know for sure it's all we've ever known.
We're part of the problem now, only know what we've been shown.
When no one's telling you what to say
Or how to feel You're stayin' true to yourself
Honesty is real
Well I know I've heard I've tried
You know nothing at all I've taken pressure from my peers
I've taken falls
When life's so complicated
Too late, too late to follow
Why don't you walk away
Well I couldn't help but feel
The walls were comin' down
Felt so deluded with illusions to myself
I had to follow for I knew not what to do
When will you realise you're the one you're lying to
When life's so complicated
Too late, too late to follow
Why don't you walk away
Too late, too late to follow
Why don't you walk away
Too late, too late
When life's so complicated
Too late, too late to follow
Why don't you walk away
Too late, too late to follow
Time,Time,Time
See what's become of me
While I look around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside
There's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Hang on to your hopes, my friends
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
Look around,
The grass is high,
The fields are ripe,
It's the springtime of my life
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
Everyday, he plays the game purse
He's got them runnin around
will they fall to the ground every time
Life inside, he's got something to hide
Right now he's angry, denied
with a reason so don't wonder why
your past your prime
Know what they said is what I've done
Killed my respect for everyone (you cant be sure, you never know)
I've come this far
Not goin, back this time
Take a gun, there only there for fun
It must be a movie or song
If its right or its wrong, it a sign
Point the blame, Violence in life's the same
And with no reason for that
we'll just make up the facts every time
make fun the crime
Hey! You've got your own opinion
You've got your own opinion
You decide.
What was the place that it all began?
I know it welcomes me in like no other house can
Would I be lying if I said I didn't need it, said I never need it?
Gonna get drunk and stay all night
Hey Emmaline, you'll be looking forever
Hey, you'll never find
You'll be looking forever, looking forever
Wake you at nine you've been up all night
Making you coffee, we're leaving in five you'll be alright
And sitting 'round is fine but I hope we're gonna make it
Know we're gonna make it
It's somewhere to go and come home to
Hey Emmaline, you'll be looking forever
Hey, you'll never find, you'll be looking forever
Hey Emmaline, you'll be looking forever
Hey, you'll never find
You'll be looking forever, looking forever
I can't wait here
Oliver's here this time
All of us here on time
Hey Emmaline, you'll be looking forever
Hey, you'll never find, you'll be looking forever
Hey Emmaline, you'll be looking forever
Hey, you'll never find
Here today and on my way
It's time to make it all OK
You left me here I couldn't see solutions were in front of me
With this fragile happiness I'll start over today
I won't leave you here to suffer
It's not for everyone
I'd rather suffer for instead
Now that I have blown that cover
I have been suffering
If you're not suffering instead
Pain and observation meet
Reality's an easy street
Alone is not so hard to be
She's gone
Just gone away from me
With this fragile happiness...
There's no reason why you can't be happy with the things you have
Would it make you feel better
If i lied ?
Try to hide the truth inside.
If only i could tell you
Would it make you feel better
if i left ?
You thought of me as second best
someone you knew from years ago
When everything you've ever known
comes crashing down you feel alone
I sit and change the channels and complain
When everything is touch and go
Your falling down, your feelin low
and things are getting sader (stranger) everyday
Would it work out ?
Would you come back ?
What if the empy feeling still remains?
Somewhere in time ?
When i see you ?
would it be close enough to feel the pain ?
Cuz i can hardly stand it what else can i do ?
Would it make you feel angry
If i confessed ?
To all the things i never said ?
Words i could never tell you.
If we just keep it simple
Let it rest ,
Maybe i wont be deppressed
How can you stand there and tell me
That you've never lied behind my back?
Don't think that your little excuses make
The sound of emptiness go away
Don't tell me, I'm not listening
I close my mind to everyone outside
It's my world and I don't have to let you in
This is where I'll be starting again today
Now I've made a mistake
I've had all I can take for granted and I don't trust anyone
I've done all I can do
I won't listen to you forever 'cause I don't trust anyone
Trust anyone
If I ever see you with your friends
I'll just pretend I don't know you
It's easy to remember times
When we had simple words to explain
Don't tell me, I'm not listening
I close my mind to everyone outside
It's wasted because there's something that I said
And the words that I only regret today
Now I've made a mistake
I've had all I can take for granted and I don't trust anyone
I've done all I can do
I won't listen to you forever 'cause I don't trust anyone
Now I've made a mistake
I've had all I can take for granted and I don't trust anyone
I've done all I can do
I won't listen to you forever 'cause I don't trust anyone
Trust anyone, trust anyone
There hasn't been a thing I won't remember
There hasn't been a thing I won't remember today
Now I've made a mistake
I've had all I can take for granted and I don't trust anyone
I've done all I can do
I won't listen to you forever 'cause I don't trust anyone
Now I've made a mistake
I've had all I can take for granted and I don't trust anyone
I've done all I can do
I won't listen to you forever 'cause I don't trust anyone
If you could help me find a way
Then I would find a way, yeah
If there's an answer then
I'm Sure I'll know it too
Not just you
The days are long and now I need
Someone too see
Then tell me
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me right
Don't get me through
Don't need to
Do not do, Do not do
Hey, I've thrown it all away
I've pushed it down
And I know it won't come back
Cos I broke the life I had
Now, I've thought it through for now
And I don't think that'll change it all today
Makes sense in any way
Thinking over what you said
It's over, and it's over
Now I know this time
That I've crossed the line
Hey, I guess I can't complain for what I've done
Cos you've served me up 'til now
And it'll all work out somehow
Now, I know I've made mistakes
I've sat around
And I wish that everyday
Was the last day
Thinking over what you said
It's over, and it's over
Now I know this time
That I've crossed the line
The line
I never thought I'd see reality could bring me down
I must be living in the past
I never thought I'd see reality could bring me down
I must be living in the past
I never thought I'd see reality could bring me down
I must be living in the past
We came to see you yesterday
Your car was gone but that's okay
We thought that she might bring you back
In time but I don't know
I can't figure out and I don't understand
You haven't got room and you don't give a damn
You're cutting us out, you don't need anymore
We thought that you might have needed someone
Did you ever realize that we were your friends
Aah I never needed you to say goodbye
For some reason I feel like making amends with you
And I will try to tell you one more time
What can I say, what can I try
But I already worked out why
You're all alone too scared to leave, you cut us out
I can't say any lies, I can't give anymore
And this has happened twice before
Just open your eyes you can't do it again
I know that you will, It'll hurt the same way
I know you need it but it hurts too much to try
You need a reason, you're too blind to see what's right
Now that you've gone, we'll talk some day
I know that you'll be the same one day
Your painted lies, your false disguise
You say the same thing every time
And I can't figure out just why
I can't feel this way I don't need to
Am I blind 'cos I can't see
The reason you and I should be
I don't know what to say
Words might never come your way
Because everything you do for me
I would never do for you
I can't tell you why
'Cause if I try I'd lie to you
My one track mind, your too kind
Can't think of feelings I should show
For what reason I don't know
These things are hard to say
You know they'll end up complicated
Because everything you do for me
I would never do for you
I can feel you wasting my time
I can see you trying to read my mind
So many things you could know
Well just forget it, just forget it I should go
I feel you wasting my time It I tried, I'd lie to you
There's a place in my mind
Where I leave it all behind
A place I store the fools
That have put me down before
There's a place in my mind
Where these fools are locked behind a door
You know I'll never let them out
'Till they recognize that
One day I'll be gone
You'll be there and I'll be gone
You won't know what I'm looking
You'll be there and I'll be gone
Young lady think about the past
And how you've done me wrong
And how you've done me wrong before this time
Young lady think about your friends
And not yourself next time
If you get the chance another time
Now you're all full grown
I've left you all alone
Are you happy? Did you want it?
I know you don't think to often about our ways
Now I can see what's up
Taken time from our hands
Do you know how you stand?
Changed our views
Hoping we can pull through
Still I need to know what we need to satisfy.
It's not like friends to ever say goodbye.
This letter never sent is all I have
It's all I need to say
This letter never sent
It represents one thought of sense today
It's said a young heart never mends
I'll dispute it
Shits hit more than once
Do I see through blind eyes
Can you ace that disguise.
Don't presume I have regret
I'm glad we met
Cos now I know what we have isn't wrong or right
We can't change that
I've realised this tonight
This letter never sent....
I've been hoping for some way to tell you and...
I've got letters in my head not sent too.
Last chance to tell you.
You know I see someone's motivation in your eyes
And I know it makes you think like you've been hypnotised
And you try and make me understand the you do
But I can't so I just walk away and stay confused
It won't make a difference it won't be the same
You can't believe in all you see
There won't be a next time one more mistake
You can't believe in all you see
You walk around consuming all the things you want
And we dry up every well till every drop is gone
The headlines make me think about it everyday
Packaged up as entertainment anyway
I was always the smart one
Backchatting and lying
I was always left locked in but I'd still get away through bars of iron and steel
They would try to hold me down but I would still get away
I'm joking they just can't see that
I just want everything
But jokes wont make them go away
Would they show me if I couldn't run
Could they know me if I didn't come
Would they try to put me down because
I disobeyed
My way of getting through just seems to get to you
I left MTL and my babe behind
This is anarchy one more time
5 Aussies and a Greek in the van
Travelled across the world to drive across this and
Let 'em loose Let 'em loose
Start her up and hit the juice
Hope to God we don't hit a fuckin' moose
Endless highway and cigarette butts
Bloodshot eyes
Empty coffee cups
Been driving for a thousand kliks
And now I'm getting pulled over by the pigs again (Fuck)
Feel the tension in the van
Unless you've done it you'd never understand
Gotta make it to the next show
Sleep deprivation overload
Anal vapours
Smelly socks
Sleeping on a pizza box
Wasted in a bar
Vancouver B.C.
Swilling back the brews
Reflecting on the journey
It was long and hard and that's a bloody fact
Only problem now is I gotta drive back.
A look of judgement cast aside
As I make conversation
He looks at me as if to say
I'll talk to you but we don't deal with your kind
A place to live is hard to find
I will not be a victim of your narrow minded view
And with my own devices I have ways not known to you
Solemn angry face from everyone who's in this place
A rental sheet is not complete without that look of disapproval too
I might be moving in with you
You take
A simple part of history
And then you feed it back to me
I'm smart enough to know
We try
We're living under plastic skies
Reality personified
And everyone's the same
Is it a lie?
Living a lifetime is reverse
Is it all right?
Living a lifetime in reverse
Like nothings wrong and everything's ok
You watch
Images on movie screens
They contradict your memories
And everything you know
Deny
The stories that are never told
Now culture can be bought and sold
I never liked you
I never cared if
I was open (if i was open)
By the way this is
My answer (is my answer)
All the time that
You were falling (you were falling)
On the way to the battle
I'm living it my way
Living with the sickness created in you
I wanna love you forever
Love you forever
Even though there's weakness created in you
Gonna battle it my way
Battle it my way
Even though it's endless to see it in you
Gonna love you forever
Love you forever
Even though i'll never believe what's in you
I never liked you
I never cared
I never cared if i was right
And you were ready
I never liked you
I never cared
I never liked you
I know that it's fatal
To live with this evil
I never thought that i would end up on the ground
Searching skies just to faze her
I hope to amaze her
I never thought that i would end up on the ground
Gonna battle it my way
Battle it my way
Even though it's endless to see it in you
Gonna love you forever
Love you forever
I never thought that i would end up on the ground
I never liked you
I never cared
I never liked if i were right
And you were ready
I never liked you
I never cared
I never liked you
Just in time to get it
Just in time to get it
Battle it my way
Battle it my way
I am just as fucked up as you are
Umbra,
We watch the Moon of Amber.
And again, the Garden mourns its silent dream.
Unguarded, some fragments of light linger in your sky.
Were we like sublunary lovers
Straying on the seas of your heart,
Sailing down the streams of your mind,
Soothing your marble face anew...
Dim... in the shadows of our sun,
We have been blinded by agony,
Our dazzling eyes empty of stars,
Our voices wordless with fear,
Our ears so envious of deafening,
Our withdrawing souls longing for death,
We drowned in a Moon of Amber.

Demands on you and what you're apt to
They dwell inside then leave you on the outside
As aggression
Do you need attention?
Do you need attention?
This situation is not what it seems
This situation will soon be at ease
This situation will leave you if you let it
It counts on you to get what you can achieve
And you can strive
It'll leave you on the outside
As aggression
Do you need attention?
Do you need attention?
Sometimes when I'm driving in my car
I wish that you could take the wheel
But you're not there, it's so unfair
What if I hit that dog again?
Sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
I let those voices in my head
Influence me to some degree
Now I'm not sure of anything
I wish you knew what I was thinking of
They told me to breathe, they told me to lie down
I figured it out, you're one in a million
'Cause I'm writing the words down
I figure my chances are one in a million
And I don't know why
And I don't know where to begin
Sometimes when I'm running out of cash
I'll jump a taxi in a flash
I know it's wrong, his light was on
And I just had to get to you
Sometimes when I'm talking on the phone
I get advice from the dial tone
It's nothing new and I'm confused
I know I'm losing my mind
I wish you knew what I was thinking of
They told me to breathe, they told me to lie down
I figured it out, you're one in a million
'Cause I'm writing the words down
I figure my chances are one in a million
And I don't know why
And I don't know where to begin
Sometimes when I'm driving in my car
I wish that you could take the wheel
But you're not there, it's so unfair
What if I fall asleep again?
Sometimes when I'm lying in my bed
I let those voices in my head
Influence me to some degree
Now I'm not sure of anything
I wish you knew what I was thinking of
Can't believe what I've been thinking of
No chance, one in a million
No chance, one in a million
No chance, one in a million
No chance, one in a million
I'm still cruisin, my brain is sore
Time is willing, It's out the door
There's no correction, no female sport
It's locking up inside my mind 'cause
Nothing's clear anymore
There's no corruption, no train of thought
Not even willing until I'm caught
It's like a judge and jury being bought
By someone on the opposite side but
Nothing's clear anymore
Take a look inside Before you swallow your pride
Take a look inside
Take a good look inside
Stop and think about what you do
How can you think you have the right in using her without consent
Does stating this surprise you
Did you think about the consequences
Mentality It is low
One thing he knows for sure
She hits the floor:again
One thing he knows for sure
She hits the floor:again
Seemed like a good idea
Date a fellow student in his class
Thought he'd be cool and not cold
He pinned her to the floor
The rest is left unsaid In fear she keeps it inside
Disturbed by his gross act
No pride Isolate me I can't hide
Erase his being in mind
I can walk the bed of nails
I'm not the only one
But some, they cannot walk the jagged line
Callous, concentrating
For nails are sharp as lies
I run the jagged line
From years and years of practice
I know just how to stand
Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand
Prepared with boards and hammers
And several bags of nails
I could build a wall to lean on
Roof above my mind
I can see you've got your own plans
Please don't drive your nails into this heart of mine
I can walk the bed of nails
Grin and bear the pain
But some, they cannot deal with all these things
Always sacrificing
For lies are sharp as nails
And all the pain it brings
Sometimes I just pretend that all the lies are true
And I know I might depend on you
But if my concentration breaks
I'm washed away with pain
And then my feet begin to bleed upon my only bed of nails
And I'm stuck here in the middle of a sea of lies
Inside my bed of nails
Machines are rolling once again
It's time to meet your new best friend
He's in your face and in your pocket don't take your eyes off him
Is he someone you long to be?
Identities are altered for you
Never see what it's really like if it's ugly deep inside
Consumer life, consumes a life to
Hit zero once again and follow life the
Way it's meant to be
There must be something more
In store for me
We can't be forced to see
Hit zero Once again without the thoughts of someone else to blend
There must be something more cos I am bored
We can be forced to feed
He's got a book to sell you too
A self made icon sold to you
He's representing everything I wish had not existed
But somebody else might come and be the one
The one to follow
There's something I've known I've seen this
Herd mentality creates
The fuel to run machines forever
And I have been the worst of both extremes
Self thoughts could be impossible it
seems
Hit zero once again and follow life the way it's meant to be
Sorry I've got things to do and say
I've listened long enough today
I'll keep my things In my control
But there's information you withhold
And I've heard everything you said about tradition
And everything they say to you It must be true, to you
And you can keep your good intentions
You can have your point of view
And I will listen very closely
Just don't try and change mine
Who controls everything I see
What I know you dictate to me
I'll change the station And the way
I see things told to me in rays
I've heard everything you said about tradition
And everything they say to you It must be true, to you
And you can keep your good intentions
You can have your point of view
And I will listen very closely
Just don't try and change mine
And you can keep your good intentions
You can have your point of view
And I will listen very closely
Just don't try and change mine
What I know you dictate to me
What I know you dictate
What I know you dictate to me
What I know you dictate
Who controls everything I see
What I know you dictate to me
I remember times when we were young
And you were so unkind
You'd never understand they way I felt
So why were you so blind
You've got your back against the wall
You've got to think it over
And watch that you don't slip away
You'd turn to anyone you'd find and mess within your thoughts
We could share the times that we once had so why were you so blind
You've got your back against the wall
I know it's the way that is goes I can't help but wonder
Why you have to put something down 'Cause you're insecure
I don't know why should I complain There's nothing to say or do
Can't wait to say
Can't wait to say to you
Can't wait to say
You've been thinking too
I thought about reasons to try I've thought about nothing
It's so hard to have faith in these times But I won't pretend
I don't know there's no one to blame There's nothing to say or do
Can't wait to say
Can't wait to say to you
Can't wait to say
You've been thinking too
Can't wait to say
Can't wait to say to you
Can't wait to say
You've been thinking too
You've been thinking too
Trying hard to duplicate the scene
You're seen so much in magazines
It's not what you decide inside
It's what you try to hide
You've got a thousand lines
You think you're from the U.S.A.
We've got a problem now
It's time to seize the day
Everytime I hear you talking
Everytime I see you walking
I just need to be someone you believe
Packing knives and picking knives with me
Your big mouth keeps your dignity
You're like an actor saying lines
You're not the star this time
'Cause I wont listen now
Because I've heard your shit before
It's time to realize
It's time to even the score
What group are you supposed to be in
You need a direction, a fashion, a change
Try to show everyone you're different
You give me your reasons
Then still stay the same
You've been in this scene for as long as me
Just say fuck to your peers
And say what you mean
I can't believe that you just stand there
And say all the things that you've said before
Put on an act and all your friends will make believe
You won't open your eyes It's so hard to perceive
It's not fair you had to wait in line
You'll have to pay 2 many times
When you're wrong you'll find
It's been too many times too many
Reason don't need a reason
I once felt comfortable
With enemies but now I see
A hopeless situation endlessly
My memory, is on a loop
It goes around
Things are so tough now, I'm torn inside
What if I run away?
Things are not
Getting any better
I didn't want to
See a world collide
What if I hide away?
Things are not
Getting any better
Not from where I stand!
Another day begins to pick up a pen
I'm staying in
I try to document what's happening
And not pretend, that life will be
Days go fast and you don't change
I often wonder where you're going (going)
Stuck onto your own sick ways fixated to a world dissolving (dissolving)
I've said everything I had to say
You'll find your way not to exist
Aspiration washed away from that liquid form in your hand (your hand)
I don't care what the fuck you do I don't care where the fuck you're going (going)
I've said everything I had to say...
You'll find your way not to exist
Your lifestyle's changin'
Your life is in your hands (your hands)!
I've said everything I had to say:
Did you hear what the TV told you about the raid today
Did you believe every reason why they took our rights away
I will not remain (silent) blind to the truth
And blinded by the television light
Did you read what the papers wrote about our set of laws
They unify and discriminate
Then hope that it is solved
I will not complain
Who would listen to a small man Is there someone out there who will listen
And not give in to television
Thought to long and wound up wrong
But I can't take anything back
Made the choice with someone's voice
Still I can't take anything back
And I'm not the first to tell you
The problem is only what it makes you
Even though you won't be sure still you can't take anything back
One another day is done
You wanted everyone
You know you can't be right all the time
Wakes at noon but not to soon
With the whole day left to sit back
Race is run what's done is done
Cause he can't take anything back
So wake up to you decisions
Delusion creates your own submission
I fucked up with a guy called Bill
I owed him money he supplied the pills
He said, You'll never know yourself, you'll never try
You'll never know yourself, you'll never try
I fucked up with a dude called Ray
I never thought I'd feel this way
He said, You'll never know yourself, you'll never try
You'll never know yourself, you'll never try
Deceive me
But I will never let you go
Deceive me
I messed up with a guy called Joe
Being high and nowhere to go
He said, You'll never know yourself, you'll never try
You'll never know yourself, you'll never try
Deceive me
But I will never let you go
Deceive me
You'll never know, you'll never know
Deceive me
But I will never let you go
Deceive me
Every day
You sing the same old song
Do you ever wonder why you're
Singled out and all alone?
You always said,
That you'd stand your ground
Then you contradict yourself by
Letting all your bullshit out
Hey don't you know
Things aren't really the way they should flow
Find your place and go
Remember those,
That you have pushed away
Hope you realise that they,
Won't return the same again
When you're old,
Someday you'll be looking back
Maybe you'd be happy if,
You thought it through,
And never ran away
Think what you were gonna say
Think out what it is you know
Discouraging lie
You're all the same to me
A lonely isolated lie
We really don't care where it is you go
I know that there's something you're not tellin me
Maybe I don't want to hear you say it
Don't think that you're somewhere you're not supposed to be
Cuz you're not, you know that I want you here
Sometimes, I fall apart and don't know what to do
She brings me back again
It's like tryin to breathe underwater
I'm just tryin to break down a wall
You're offering me all the answers
I won't throw them away like before
You told me that life's too short to have regret
Every word you said has a stranger meaning
Leaving is the last thought
[RENO]
Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today,
Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything Goes.
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
Anything Goes.
When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
Anything Goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose!
When every night,
The set that's smart
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios,
Anything Goes.
[RENO, PASSENGERS & CREW]
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
[RENO]
If saying your prayers you like,
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like,
If back stairs you like,
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like,
Why nobody will oppose!
[ALL]
And though I'm not a great romancer
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes...
Anything goes!
You say you live your life so perfectly
How can I begin to see a shade of human life?
You see a person's stance so crucially
Criteria for you and me and hate them just the same
You say, you say
But it's all come to fall
You say, you say
But it's all come to fall
You say you live a life of poverty
That you partake of willingly
He knows who pays for you
You say, you say...
Everything I said might not
be true but it's the only way you'll let me
Wastin' time
Just hopin' everything will go my way
Plans for makin' everything OK
I define
Systems black and white as what we have
And everything I've done is coloured grey
You've taken everything
And left me here with nothing
And I told you everything
And you left me here with nothin'
With nothin'
Wait in line
Just letting my self-anger redesign
Damned to be misunderstood again
As I decide to represent myself
But on your terms Like giving you the gun toshoot me down
You've taken everything...
You've taken everything
I owe you everything
One day of judgement
Come, take a breath
Make this moment last
Be here right now
This is the place and time
Forget the world
And leave it all behind
It doesn't take a word
And all i need to know is here
There's comfort in the silence
When you're near
Give me shelter
When the day comes
Crashing down on me
I'll tide you over
I will give you
Everything(you need)
Let's take a breath
It might be our last one
Make this moment last
Make it the best one
We'll find ourselves
Finding something new
Feels good to share
A Room with a wiew
The people I know have heard so many things
But things just ain't the same no more
Can't decide if I should do the same
So when you left we all asked why
I tried to see the lighter side
Of what we're doing with our lives today
It's not the time to grow up anyway
Time to grow up
I never thought that you would be the first
The words could never be reversed
Got your job and now you're on your way
So I'm wasting all my time
Just being here from day to day
Give me the keys now you're too drunk to drive
You say it's all because of me
Tilting your head so you can catch me eye
Promising things I can't believe
Why can't you recognise the need
I don't wanna be the one
That's always left to find you
Some people live on memories
I don't wanna be the one
That's always left to find you
Find you
If I could make everything work out right
I'd bring my photographs to life
But it's hard to figure out reality
It's four in the morning
You knock on my door
You're looking for sympathy
I've got no more
Death's overrated
You just need some rest
You make it my problem
When you're so depressed
And you say
It's all about you and your pain
I'm so sick of hearing
About your tortured life
What are you hiding inside?
You called up and woke me
Now I'm pissed up
I've given you everything
It's not enough
You bring on your problems
That's what it's about
Just look me up when
You sort yourself out
And you say
It's all about you and your pain
I'm so sick of hearing
About your tortured life
What are you hiding inside?
And you say
It's all about you and your pain
I'm so sick of hearing
About your tortured life
What are you hiding?
What are you hiding?
What are you hiding inside?
What you're hiding inside?
What you're hiding inside?
There's nothing that I could say
To make her change the way she thinks
Page one is all she wants to be
It wasn't a phase to her
It wasn't a part of growing up
Don't compare yourself
To some 13 year old who needs help
The girl inside
You tried to hide
Is all you needed to be
It's only looks
You can't compare yourself
To all those glossy books
I know you know what's right
You need to see
The reason why you can't pretend
You'll never be satisfied
You'll never be quite the way you want
Don't try to hide it
Of course you're so pretty now
As you did everything they said to do
You can be happy now
You're beautiful and beautifully dead
And time unfolds the reason
They don't come
And life reveals the season
They don't come
Time unfolds the reason
The girl inside
You tried to hide
Is all you needed to be
It's only looks
You can't compare yourself
To all those glossy books
Time heals sometimes
Time heals sometimes
Had this in your mind so long It's time you let your feelings show
Are you afraid of what they say
Those old cliches
Could not tell your truth from fact
Keep this poison pen intact
You just don't know what lurks inside
Now there's wreckage everywhere
The pieces of your own despair
The things you try to hide away will turn it's back on you again one day
Excommunicate yourself
From every thought of reason
Refuse to justify the opposition is yourself
Only yourself
When I try to speak
Words I might not mean could leak with everything I want to say
I can act in line
But lie to myself every time with everything I want to say
Now there's wreckage everywhere
The pieces of your own despair
The things...
Excommunicate yourself
From every thought of reason
Refuse to justify the opposition is yourself
Only yourself
You find where your going you work out what's wrong
And you sit down and look at your options you look at them
Find a place to go
Find the place where you know
And you will find where your life is at
You sat down
You worked out your place and your options
Your life is spread out before us
Work on your own independence
And you will find your place before me In my home
In my home before me
Take the opportunity
Some day you'll find just what you see
Don't let it go
Don't let your life go before your on your own
Without independence
And you will find your place before me
Get independent Make your life rearrange
You will find that it is changing
Make the most in every day
Work from the start
Watch it slowly come together
You'll never fall apart
What do you get when you fall in love?
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone ya
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I've got an empty feeling
Losing out so try to understand
I played a thousand games of cards
And never won a single hand
That's probably all I am
They say you win and loose
I hope I win some day It seems no matter what you try to do
You step on someone's toes
And it gets harder every day
To recognize your friends from foes
Well I'm not feeling sorry for myself
But it might sound that way
But friends are all I got
To get me through each day
I've followed every rule they say
I made up lies I stayed in bed
I tried to compromise instead
Don't tell me
Don't tell me why
I never thought I'd try to win And loose it all some day
I never thought I'd try to see I hope it's not too late
I've followed every rule they say I made up lies I stayed in bed
I tried to compromise instead
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
When I look right into the future
When I look back at my past
It makes me want to seize the
Moments that I find in today
'Cause things use to be so certain
But now I'm not so sure
And there was golden opportunities
Knocking at your door
When it use to be so easy
To say the things I said
When I wanted you to hear me out
You closed your mind instead
Yesterday I had the chance I gave them all away
I never get those chances back I regret the day
But I'll take the opportunities
And hope that things work out
When I talk, you will talk, when you talk it will fall back into place, yeah yeah
When I talk, you will talk, when you talk it will fall back into place, yeah yeah
This is something that we've got to suss ourselves
If we don't we're gonna stay here on the shelf
That's where I should be, looking up to you
Making promises like politicians do
This is something that we've got to plan out right
If we don't we're gonna stay here in the shite
That's where I should be, looking up to you
Making promises like politicians do
When I talk, it will fall back into place, yeah yeah
When I talk, it will fall back into place, yeah yeah
You are like having something in my eyes
Burning through the lens that money just can't buy
Motion to the sink to try and wash it out
But you're already there just falling all about
That's where I should be, looking up to you
Making promises like politicians do
That's where I should be, looking up to you
Making promises like politicians do
When I talk, it will fall back into place, yeah yeah
You must have known your future
When you took your first three steps
The emptiness surrounding you until your fatal end
The foolish chances that you took add up to your demise
The drugs you took and now it looks as though you've compromised
What's in that bottle you keep on the shelf
Losing, abusing your self - hatred (hatred)
Did you think that road would lead to sanctuary content
Security eluding you no matter where you went
You must have known, you must have seen
A vision of what you could have been
A chemical reaction blocked you out
What's in that bottle you keep on the shelf
Losing, abusing your self - hatred (hatred)
hatred (hatred)
When there's nothing left inside
You know
And I don't feel anything
I put it on and turn it up
And it feels right
And I can deal with anything
Can you repeat it?
And I won't feel so negative
What is the chance of it?
When you feel so unwelcome
And sold out
What is the chance of it?
When you've been lying to me
And I found out
What is the chance of it...?
Put it on when things are rough
How many times
Can I repeat everything?
Cue it up and then decide
It's all
Want you to hear everything
I don't want to be the one that's missing out on all the fun
You won't find me running round in circles again
But I will find a way to be my best in every way
And I told you And I told you that
In empty spaces things fall inbetween
It's just about the strangest thing that I have ever seen
See yourself today
Take a look don't run away
You may find your empty space
And it may be filled tomorrow I thought it over and I have found it's just begun
And I told you And I told you that
In empty spaces things fall inbetween
It's just about the strangest thing that I have ever seen
You had it all
Your friends say you got it all
You've got it all
It's been so long but
I will work it our some time
I don't think what you care anyway
I'm gonna change this world
I know I can do it myself
I don't care what you say anyway
You can't hold me down
Just leave it with me and I'll work it out
Just give me some time and I'll work it out
I'll work it out I'll work it out
I've got to change the way I think upon myself
I don't care what you think anyway
You waited 'round too long now the time has gone away
Cos I found my way home yesturday
You can't hold me down
[Verse]
Wait, Another minute
I'm not finished yet
I'm not quite ready to go away, now
Steal another second
I caught you home
I feel so lonely and used
But I'm washing the bruises away
[Refrain]
Waiting here for my reply
Even if I don't get it
Waiting here for my reply
I don't know how to die
I'm starting to believe it changes
[Verse]
Watch you for an hour
It's not over yet
It fades but I wont let go away now
No is not a reason, its not a thing to say
Now I just wont let it go
Obsession is close to breaking me
[Refrain]
[Bridge]
I never thought it wouldn't feel like yesterday
That you ran away
And now I'm older getting over my mistakes
I just lie awake
You gonna get pushed away I hate to say
That I knew right from the start
But you don't care you don't care
[Refrain]
I don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
I tell myself I shouldn't show concern
He won't ever learn till he's alone
She knows that she's right
Sometime the games turn into fights
But she doesn't notice
She doesn't notice it
Or she knows but there's nothing she can do
But she doesn't notice
She doesn't notice it
Or she knows but there's nothing she can do
And I don't know what to say anymore
Pride, conversation lies
What's on both the sides?
Makes no sense she probably doesn't need
What she doesn't see or understand
She knows that she's right
Sometime the games turn into fights
But she doesn't notice
She doesn't notice it
Or she knows but there's nothing she can do
But she doesn't notice
She doesn't notice it
Or she knows but there's nothing she can do
Before you say good-bye
With so much guilt to hide
There must be a way
Won't be same if you give up
Give up, give up
Kept in formal dehyde
What's on the other side?
There must be a way
Won't be the same, when you give up
Give up, give up
She knows that she's right
Sometime the games turn into fights
But she doesn't notice
She doesn't notice it
Or she knows but there's nothing she can do
But she doesn't notice
She doesn't notice it
Or she knows but there's nothing she can do
When you think of how
It may change
If everyone was just like you
Would it satisfy
To see the world change for you
Maybe for a while
You'd sit back and laugh but
Not for very long realising that
You're not so strong
Wake up and see
Wake up and
Realise
Don't fantasise
Fucking categorise
People from what they own
Don't ever try
To see through my eyes
'Cause you'll never understand
Wake up and see
Wake up and
I can see through your eyes
You're the one I despise
Wake up and see, wake up and see
