Constant Pain

|||
Dark glasses, you gotta watch your face
Their hot flashes, our contradictive trace
We don’t follow, where we have been
You’re so hollow, you’re not the man I believed
Stay away and slowen your pace,
You chose the way, you gotta watch your face
Stay away you are a disgrace,
It doesn’t change the way you state your case
And we both
Tried to plead insane
While in constant pain
While in constant pain
Whilst in constant pain
I will see you, see you goodbye
There’s no truth, since you chose to lie
You’re always lying, lying next to me
It’s transpiring as the way you deceive
Stay away and slowen your pace,
You chose the way, you gotta watch your face
Stay away you are a disgrace,
It doesn’t change the way you state your case
And we both
Tried to plead insane
While in constant pain
While in constant pain
Whilst in constant pain
You don’t wanna, you just can’t talk about
We’ve been thinking, to clear the doubt
I’ve felt troubled, as to how to proceed
But it’s finished, there’s nowhere it’ll lead
Stay away and slowen your pace,
You chose the way, you gotta watch your face
Stay away you are a disgrace,
It doesn’t change the way you state your case
And we both
Tried to plead insane
While in constant pain
While in constant pain
Whilst in constant pain

You Know

When you stepped…….
When you stepped……
When you stepped…….
When you stepped……
When you stepped out onto the dance floor for the first time
Never been here before
And watched as the bodies drive to the music
Gonna have some fun
You felt the pieces click in your mind
Taken you so long
The air is hot and the time is right
To find what you’re searching for
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you need it
You Know, You Know, You Know
You gotta turn it on
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you feel it
You Know, You Know, You Know, You Know
You want more
Everybodies acting of the same mind
Heared it all before
Didn’t take long to plug into the main line
Feel it coming on
Don’t wonder if this feeling is right
Too good to be wrong
Work by day and dance by night
To have what you want and more
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you need it
You Know, You Know, You Know
You gotta turn it on
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you feel it
You Know, You Know, You Know, You Know
You want more
When you stepped out onto the dance floor for the first time
Never been here before
And watched as the bodies drive to the music
Gonna have some fun
You felt the pieces click in your mind
Taken you so long
The air is hot and the time is right
To find what you’re searching for
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you need it
You Know, You Know, You Know
You gotta turn it on
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you feel it
You Know, You Know, You Know, You Know
You want more
The feeling started to emerge on the inside
Started to explore
Until it took control of your world on the outside
Until it wanted more
You find it hard to try and define
Rolled up into one
Felt so good to lose your mind
And love what you’re living for
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you need it
You Know, You Know, You Know
You gotta turn it on
You Know, You Know, You Know
That you feel it
You Know, You Know, You Know, You Know
You want more

This is Not my Life
04:42
|
|||
My body’s aching and my eyes strain to see
All I’m wanting some compatibility
I wake up and find I’m in someone else hell
You should know by now,
I’ve seen you here as well
My body’s shaking and the light hurts my eyes
All I’m asking for is a little comprise
I hurt myself every other day
My friends just look at me
And then look the other way
This is not my life
I’m in another world
There never was a dream
I have to where to go
This is not my life
I’m in another world
There never was a dream
I have to where to go
The day is waking and yet I feel so tired
The light is seeping into everywhere I hide
I am horrified by everything I see
And it stays with me, it leaks into my dreams
This is not my life
I’m in another world
There never was a dream
I have to where to go
This is not my life
I’m in another world
There never was a dream
I have to where to go
I am the manifest of everything I’ve thought
Of which the ownership
Decidedly it haunts
I try to separate from all I cannot bear
But what is left I find
Is far to less to care
So many questions are running through your head
Too much love or not enough
Do you wish that you were dead?
This is not my life
I’m in another world
There never was a dream
I have to place to go
This is not my life
I’m in another world
There never was a dream
I have to place to go

Miss Perfect
03:30

Why are you so glum? Why are you so sad?
Look at you, you’re beautiful miss if I had what you had
I wouldn’t waste it like you – waste it like you do
You’re always hanging around
Trying to find some life to waste
Accompanied by a frown
Displaced on that perfect face – you
Paint on your mood each day
It signals us to go away
What you lack in faith
Is made up with disgrace
Why are you so dumb? Why are you so mad?
Look at you, you’re beautiful miss if I had what you had
I wouldn’t waste it like you – waste it like you do
Confidence or ignorance
What is it about you-
Make decisions based on facts
You weren’t even exposed to
Your tip toeing around
Like a ghost that haunts this place
You’re elocution’s sound
But there is nothing left inside but space – you
Live your life in a daze
The rest of us look through red haze
You’re just a little girl
The centre of your world
Why are you so numb? Why aren’t you just glad?
Look at you, you’re beautiful miss if I had what you had
I wouldn’t waste it like you – waste it like you do
I wouldn’t waste it
I wouldn’t waste it like you
Waste it like you do

Signals
03:10
|

What are you trying to say
When you’re looking at me and then turning away
Do you think that I don’t know
Or I can’t see – blatantly
What is clear to me
Then you look through me like I’m not there
So I’m confused am I supposed to care?
What do the signals mean?
And your big brown eyes
What do the signals mean?
Look so amusing to me
What do the signals mean?
I look up and watch the shutters come down
What do the signals mean?
What do you think that it means
What do the signals mean?
You took me dancing last night with a couple of friends
And lead me astray
You showed me all your moves and smiled at me
Tentatively, so seductively
Then you bought me a drink and left the room
And I don’t understand why to left so soon
What do the signals say?
And your big blue eyes
What do the signals say?
Look so bemusing to me
What do the signals say?
I look up and watch the shutters come down
What do the signals say?
What do you think that it means
What do the signals say?
I don’t wanna say what’s behind my eyes
In case you’re telling lies
I have to need to be the inflictee
Just in case my offer is denied
I’m used to taking risks and I know what that means
So come on make your move and see what it brings
What do the signals mean?
And your big brown eyes
What do the signals mean?
Look so bemusing to me
What do the signals mean?
I look up and watch the shutters come down
What do the signals mean?
What do you think that it means
What do the signals mean?
Is there a reason why
What do the signals mean?
Do you see what I see
What do the signals mean?
You paint the picture of the storey somehow
What do the signals mean?
What do you think that it means
What do the signals mean?

Don't Wanna
04:38
|

The moment I opened my eyes it hit me
We went out to party on your birthday
Everyone left an hour before us
So I said why don’t you stay over?
And now my head is in pain
And I’m feeling ashamed
Cause I made a mistake
A pretty big mistake
I creep downstairs hoping not to wake you
Coming to terms
But what will you do?
Could it be as bad as I dread to remember?
I don’t wanna wake you cause you’re out of the door the minute I do
I don’t wanna shake you cause I haven’t been totally honest with you
I just want to watch you sleeping on my settee
Maybe I could make some tea or coffee
Maybe I could watch the news like normal
And when you wake you’ll forget I kissed you
And then you moved your head
And I ran to bed
Now I regret
I really really regret
But you could wake up really hung over
Everything’s a blur and we can start over
I could make toast and we could
And could sit by the window
I don’t wanna wake you cause you’re out of the door the minute I do
I don’t wanna shake you cause I haven’t been totally honest with you
Maybe I should leave a note that says I’ve had to go to work
I hope everything is alright
I can’t remember a thing from last night
Help yourself to anything you want
And post the key through the door when you’re done
Or just
Call me when you’re ready, I am sorry
Really really sorry
I don’t wanna wake you cause you’re out of the door the minute I do
I don’t wanna shake you cause I haven’t been totally honest with you

As darkness closes around
And the sun drains away
My hopes drag along the ground
With the memories of today
I didn’t want it to end
I never thought I’d see the day
Better to love and never and lost
I’m choosing it this way,
I never thought I’d be hurting so much in one place at one time
I never knew your empty love would stay forever on my mind
I never dreamt the pain was so bad I could let out and cry
You hit me so hard I wanna break down and die
What did I do that was so wrong you never told me there was a problem
Give me somewhere to start from because I cannot read your mind
I cannot close the book
And I cannot walk away
I can’t believe the way you looked at me
Would be my last memory
I’m fighting back the tears
And trying to find the words to say
If you believed in what we had
You wouldn’t be treating me this way
I never thought I’d be hurting so much in one place at one time
I never knew your empty love would stay forever on my mind
I never dreamt the pain was so bad I could let out and cry
You hit me so hard I wanna break down and die
I never thought I’d be hurting so much in one place at one time
I never knew I never thought Id be hurting so much in one place at one time
I never know your empty love would stay forever on my mind
I never dreamt the pain was so bad I could let out and cry
You hit me so hard I wanna break down and die
I never thought Id be hurting so much in one place at one time
I never know your empty love would stay forever on my mind
I never dreamt the pain was so bad I could let out and cry
You hit me so hard I wanna break down and die
I’d ever have to say
I never dreamt the pain was so bad why did you change your mind
Why did you go away?

The notion stood despondently
in the form of a shadowed man
They ask of me, casually
So to laugh off irony as it stands
In a long straight line direct to me
Ho I, I knew them all
They told me lies subjectively
Because they never knew me at all
And I held their gaze,
Until they glazed
No I didn’t make the grade
It all seems like a waste of space
Was it something I said, Was it something I did
Did I wake up one day and no longer fit it
Did I act too weak or did I come on too strong?
Where did I go Wrong?
Was it something missed, was it something I’d seen
Did I go out all night when I should have stayed in?
Did I push you away when I should have held on?
Where did I go wrong
I handle things obsessively,
It’s just the way I am
Pending plans indefinitely
Then I’ll burn around where I stand
Until there’s nothing left in spite of me
And that’s when I fall
And I know subconsciously,
We’ve been here many times before
Was it something I said, Was it something I did
Did I wake up one day and no longer fit it
Did I act too weak or did I come on too strong?
Where did I go Wrong?
Was it something I tried, was it something It didn’t?
Did I get my own way when I should have gave in?
Did I talk to quick or did I go on too long?
Where did I go Wrong?
At first they seemed quite into me
and I amuse them where I can
The words dry up eventually,
They react by taking no ground,
Cause they wont put into what they cannot see,
And that’s a shame all round
As I would give incessantly
If only they would make a sound
Was it something I said, Was it something I did
Did I wake up one day and no longer fit it
Did I act too weak or did I come on too strong?
Where did I go Wrong?
Was it something missed, was it something I’d seen
Did I go out all night when I should have stayed in?
Did I push you away when I should have held on?
Where did I go Wrong?

The calm before the storm
We all know that it’s coming
We’ve seen it all before
And still we keep ignoring
The calm before the storm
Its creeping and its crawling
They’ll soon be at the door
Its hard to keep enduring
The calm before the storm
We’re all in this together
They’re always wanting more
They’re always wanting better
So why not meet us in the middle and give us a little drizzle
Come give us some we might not makes mistakes
Cause when it rains
All you can do is stand and take the blame
For this circumstance
And when it rains, I am not ashamed
When dealt my hand
Can you explain we should remain?
All we want now is the sun
To feel secure in what we’ve done
Just a chance to feel at ease
To close our eyes and breathe
Ho please meet us in the middle and give us a little drizzle
Come give us some we might not make mistakes
Cause when it rains
All you can do is stand and take the blame
For this circumstance
And when it rains, I am not ashamed
When dealt my hand
Can you explain we should remain?
Cause when it rains
All you can do is stand and take the blame
For this circumstance
And when it rains, I am not ashamed
When dealt my hand
Can you explain we should remain?
Why not meet us in the middle and find something more reasonable
Can’t pay one can’t pay all don’t stop them knocking at the door
Every day we wait for the fight I, just wanna sleep at night
Soon they’ll impose with their restrain it’s time for us to play the game
And justify why, we should remain
Cause when it rains
All you can do is stand and take the blame
For this circumstance
And when it rains, I am not ashamed
When dealt my hand
Can you explain, can you explain?
