Summertime An' the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high oh, yo' daddy's
rich An' yo' ma is good lookin' so hush, little baby don't you cry

One of these mornin' you goin' to rise up singin' then you'll spread yo'wings an' you'll
take the sky
But till that mornin' there's a
nothin' can harm you
With daddy an' Mammy standin' by

No ordinary sin
This perfect working order
I'd rather sink than swim
If I can't walk on water

You let this scandal in
This perfect world disorder
I'd rather drown than swim
I can't walk on water

This taste of dilution
Velvet divorce

I get bored (velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)

I'd sooner sell it cheap
Than tread this limbo culture
It takes a gun to clear
This stone that we've been under

You still take me wrong
I don't need understanding
Let the damage sing
I'm asking, I'm demanding

This taste of dilution
Velvet divorce

I get bored (velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)
(velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)

I'm losing all my days
To nights of blurred salvation
I'm following your days
It's true I hate creation

This taste of dilution
Velvet divorce

I get bored (velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)
I get bored (velvet divorce)

(Velvet divorce)

Take me down, 6 underground,
The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet
I've got a head full of drought,
Down here, so faroff losing out
Round here,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Calm me down, bring it round
Too way high off your street
I can see like nothing else
In me you're better than I wannabe
Don't think 'cos I understand,
I care, don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Talk me down, safe and sound
Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

You walked all over, in your blunderstones
In your own road movie, with your one armed man
Gonna make it to the problem page
Trouble-shoot your life
Gonna make it to the problem page
Need some time and space

Just to find yourself
I hope you find yourself
In a low place like home
Low place like home

You talked it over from your bedroom throne
Making sense of nothing, like your one armed man,
Read your future in the magazine, search your stars for clues
Read your future in the magazine, tells you what to lose

Just to find yourself
I hope you find yourself
In a low place like home
Low place like home

You fall all over, in your small town heels
Catching hold of nothing, like your one armed man,
Treat your life like a tragedy, self-inflict abuse
Treat your life like a tragedy, precious else to choose
Crucify yourself, I hope you find yourself

In a low place like home
Low place like home

Phone me and I'll hang up
Sick and tired of being bubble gum chewed up
Dark lane, bleak house shrinking rose, You're over and out
Tie a cherry bootstring, put your candy teeth in
Choking on a sweetheart, hang up, hang up, hang up

Go on girls - solo,
Go on girls - take a chance,
Go on girls - trust it,
Go on girls - the truth is ...

Cut your hair wear a chip on your shoulder
Get ahead, get laid, get it over
Cheap show, back seat martyr's pose, you're over and out
I'm checking out of my senses, buying best defences
Putting on the trousers, hang up, hang up, hang up

Go on girls - solo,
Go on girls - take a chance,
Go on girls - trust it,
Go on girls - the truth is ...
So so ... Single ... So low ... The truth is ...

You want the day to fit to a soundtrack
Get a story get a life and get back
You've got nothing to shout about
You're over and out

I'm checking out of my senses, Buying best defences
Fired up on free-will, hang up, hang up, hang up

Go on girls - solo,
Go on girls - take a chance,
Go on girls - trust it,
Go on girls - the truth is ...
So so ... Single ... So low ... The truth is ...
So so ... Single ... So low ... The truth is ...

Take me down, 6 underground,
The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet

Round here,

Overground, watch this space,

Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

You can keep breathing, I only fall when you are near me
Incomplete, I only talk when you can hear me, Keep dreaming
can't wake up until I'm sleeping, Lost on me, Close to something I'll never be

Close to something I'll never be

If I just stay here, close my eyes can you still see me ?
Obsolete, very nearly something to see
Still see me, I can't wake up for sleeping
Incomplete, very nearly something to be

Very nearly something to be

You can keep trying, drown in sleep to be flying
See for Miles, something that I wanted to be
I can't wake this dream, prototype ends up has been
Incomplete, the consequence of something to be

I'm everyone - I feel used,
I'm everyone - I need you,
I'm everyone - hang your label on me,
I'm everyone - Paint it black and white and easy,
I'm everyone - Sticks in me,
I'm everyone - Sticks with me,
I want perfection - I'm real need,
I've seen attention - See through me,
Call on me - Spin spin sugar
Crawl on me - Spin spin sugar
Stinks on me - Spin spin sugar
Twists for me - Spin spin sugar

I've seen attention - See through me,
I want perfection - I'm real need,
I'm everyone - Sticks in me,
I'm everyone - Sticks with me,
Call on me - Spin spin sugar
Crawl on me - Spin spin sugar
Stinks on me - Spin spin sugar
Twists for me - Spin spin sugar

She looks ahead, she paints her toe nails red,
She's wet and wild, a typical 90's child,

She makes every move they make,
She takes everything they take,
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze

Unscrew the wine, she'll throw a party line,
Stories extreme, she's such a drama queen,
Cries through the night, she choked on Marlboro lites,
Pure charm and grace, she hates her pretty face,

She makes every move they make,
She takes everything they take,
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern sleaze

Straw spun from gold, she craves a tortured soul,
All doom and gloom, she plays an open wound,

She takes every scene they steal,
She takes every pain they feel,
She must be a Thelma or Louise,
She must be a post-modern tease

Your heart is served cold,
Your sights are set in perfect stone,
And when you go you go alone,
And when you stand you're on your own,

I wash the streets from your skin when you come home,
I wash the streets from your skin when you come home.

We're nothing like friends,
You have no time to lend,
And if you're guilt then I'm the shame,
And if I'm hurt then you're the blame,

You wash my trace from your skin and you leave again,
You wash my trace from your skin and you leave again.

Random laid plans,
40 days of one night stands,
And when you go you go alone,
You walk the cross you made your own,

I wash the streets from your skin when you come home,
I wash the streets from your skin when you come home.

Roll on, these doors are open
Roll off, you can come next time,
I'm in love with your confusion, on your knees
When you're breathing through your elbows,
Down on me, down on me

Roll on roll off,
Roll on roll off,
Don't take that wrong
Don't take that wrong

Roll up, these doors are open,
Load up, come next time
Don't try to hurry me along,
Just walk ahead a little gone

Roll on roll off,
Roll on roll off,
Don't take that wrong
Don't take that wrong

Roll on, going down on me,
Roll off, make it easy on me,
You can't think you're someone special,
On your knees,
We're throwing punches underwater,
Sink with me, sink with me, sink

Roll on roll off,
Roll on roll off,
Something is sinking X5

Sacrifice my vanity, kick off my heels
A careless weight on your hetred,
Understand it's so simple, a simple please
To keep the faithful on a wounded knee,
To the madness I do confess
I never see myself as blessed
Confused, unaddressed,
Like a saviour I do caress,
The truth is boredom more or less
Unused, obsessed, my time is only given to you,
Too much to choose, it's not mine to contemplate
If I can lose, with this blood on my shoes
Compromise in full extreme, cut off my heels,
Name a price on what's sacred
Guaranteed I've got something,
A royal disease, take a flood to clean these streets
To the madness I do confess, forever see myself as blessed
Immune, obsessed, like a saviour I do caress
The truth is boredom, it's excess
Take more, give less, My time is only given up to you
Too much to choose, it's not mine to contemplate if I can lose
With this blood on my shoes.

Hey ho - who is this,
no one but me my dear,
Please come, say how do,
The things I'll give to you,

A stroke as gentle as a feather,

Hey ho - I am here,
am I not young and fair,
Please come, say how do,
The things I'll show to you,

Would you have a wondrous sight,
the midday sun at midnight,

Fair maid, white and red,
comb you smooth and stroke your hair.

Take me down, 6 underground,
The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet
I've got a head full of drought,
Down here, so faroff losing out
Round here,

Overground, watch this space,

Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough,

Ok, you had sedatives and cold champagne
They say 'that must be the price of fame'
It's not a joke if you can choke on the thought of it
You're not my friend to defend if you're loving it
So Kurt I heard that you squeezed somebody's hand
It doesn't hurt if you think about your fans

Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again want your heroes dead

So high, if you think of the fans
So high, if you think of the fans

Ok, they got your file down at the CIA.
They say you're worse than Manson for the USA
It's not grief if you can see through the source of it
It's only true if you're bruised by the force of it
So Kurt I heard that you opened up your eyes
They call it work but it don't make it civilised

Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again want your heroes dead

Ok, time takes your cigarette
They say it puts it in your mouth then you'll forget
No longer "live 105" can you hear me
The life expectancy of any popularity
So Kurt I heard that the side-show bet your life
It doesn't hurt but the worst go nevermind

Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again like it's oxygen
Kiro TV
They've got their visions again want your heroes dead

Kiro TV

So high, if you think of the fans
So high, if you think of the fans

i’m playing games with your sex, with your ’lectric shocks
learn to let myself loose and be the dummy in your snapshots
i’m playing games learn to get on with your backward fans
stick my body in the sun and help to get rid of the white tan

And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me

i’m playing games, marking names with the blackest thoughts
if you’re building me up to be the target for your cheap shots
i’m playing games keep a blind eye on the main chance
strip my body of its skin and try to cancel out the white trash

And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me

i’m playing games if your aim is for the quick fix
cos I know what you wanted and i know how you got it
i’m playing games if you play i’m in the fast lane
learn to jump into the road and learn to save a little lost face

And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me

(Small town witch come to mess me up yeah)

See black, see bloom
Died on an impulse over you
Caught like a corpse
Crawling round a dream and loving you
And she hangs on youth
Crushing any feet to fit the shoes
Stepping it out with a size 12 mouth
And cursing you

Small town witch come to mess me up
Small town witch come to mess me up
Small town witch come to mess me up again

She whored and she graced
Bitching with the bottle, saving face
Blowing it out as the jury's doubt is laid to waste
See black, see bloom
Choked up on a heartburn, bleeding through
How does it feel when the ones that feed are biting you

Small town witch come to mess me up
Small town witch come to mess me up
Small town witch come to mess me up again

Don’t look now, we’re branded, we’re the black sheep
Sewn apart and Siamese - The black sheep
When the water seems too deep
The shadows always wait beneath
But laughing loud we brave the role of black sheep

If you see me you’ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but
I take what it needs to be easy
With the black sheep now
With the black sheep now

Don’t look now we’re stranded here as black sheep
Swallowed whole and out of reach, the black sheep
Unsafe enough for now
We’re shepherded from higher ground
But drowned all out we saved the role of black sheep

If you see me you’ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but
I take what it needs to be easy
With the black sheep now
With the black sheep now

If you see me you’ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but
I take what it needs to be easy

If you see me you’ll be crossing the street
(if you see me you’ll be crossing the street)
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
(or kick me and then leave me to bleed)
If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but
I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now
With the black sheep now
With the black sheep now
With the black sheep now
With the black sheep now

Got answers for everyone, endless excuses
Not habit for anyone, 'cause I'm trying to break your click-track heart
Seen a vision of perfect grace, airbrushed and lifeless
All contempt and aftertaste, it's like I'm waiting for the scars to heal

You're so loretta young silks, fashioning your self escape
You're so loretta young silks, trading on your super waif
All style before content, using me as bait
You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate

Soft focus for full appeal, pictured as flawless
No context for self esteem, I'd be pushed to give your love on that
As far as the eye can see: too much perfection
Pure substance for wannabes, keeps you beating to a click-track heart

You're so loretta young silks, fashioning your self escape
You're so loretta young silks, trading on your super waif
All style before content, using me as bait
You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate

You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate
(You're so Loretta young silks,) swapping your love for hate
(You're so Loretta young silks,) swapping your love for hate

M'aidez, throw aways, some things here have got to stay A string of pearls, the strangest girl is happy when the western world Painless Chinese burns, ties me down with daisy chains Diamonds on her tongue and pleasure cuts and teasing

M'aidez this is my m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet M'aidez this my m'aidez, m'aidez

Dead songs, half way home, still life lived on mobile phones But the girl had wings and precious things under sheets with tangled limbs
Wide awake at dawn the sun won't choose to shine on

Silence says it all
And reaching up and blessing

M'aidez this is my m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet M'aidez this my m'aidez, m'aidez

The higher we climb the smaller we seem, mad with possibility
No design zig zag girl is happy with the western world
Painless Chinese burns, ties me down with daisy chains
Diamonds on her tongue and pleasure cuts and teasing

M'aidez this is my m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet
M'aidez this my m'aidez, m'aidez

I want to be a kid again
Come down having Sunday best
See me staying home bunking school
Knowing wrong from right just rules

I wish I'd never seen your face
Better done wonder phase
I need an echo, not your praise
Straying from the god you nailed

My mother, my mother, my mother never told
My mother, my mother, my mother never told me
Love is just a bloodsport
Love is just a bloodsport

'Cause love is just a bloodsport
Love is just a bloodsport

Sex and love is not a game
A game is something you can win
Maybe something kind of fun
'Cause love is just a bloodsport, son

My mother, my mother, my mother never told
My mother, my mother, my mother never told me

Never told me
Never told me

'Cause love is just a bloodsport
Love is just a bloodsport
'Cause love is just a bloodsport
Love is just a bloodsport

'Cause love is just a bloodsport
Love is just a bloodsport
'Cause love is just a bloodsport
Love is just a bloodsport

Drinking enough to knife to death the dumb down
Drinking yourself to death am I in touch now
You ask me how to cure your headache, use a gun
If you think you're doing something special, it's been done
So just think dumb

Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life

Don't leave out the sure to itch in your opinion
The louder they come, the thicker they are so dream on
If you think you got style in your limo to a club
You may feel like a kick but the coma looks more fun
So just think dumb

Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life

Drinking enough to knife to death the dumb down
Drinking myself to death am I in touch now?
You ask me how to cure your headache, use a gun
If you think you're doing something special, its been done
So just think dumb

Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life just think dumb
Think harder
Think harder
Think harder
Think dumb

Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life
Think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life
Think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life
Think dumb
Think harder, sip up, sick up, your life

Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
So, you had me going too; any day I've the taste just laughed
On a week of solar wings, getting off on electro-flesh
All the boys and all the girls, making out; we're taking turns
The sound was going down, I could see how Jesus wept

Get on the gospel train for my lord has come to soon
Watching movies, true blue movies
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come to soon
Watching movies, true blue movies

Exposure on a TV screen, Technicolor rainbow kiss
Bruises on his solar plexus, baby-faced the biting lips
All the boys and all the girls, cutting noise with instant thrills
Insects on incest friends, heaven dressed the Judas film

Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Watching movies, true blue movies
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Watching movies, true blue movies

So, whatever happened to love talk and polite remarks?
Mind willing and her body weak, she's a star in a galaxy of real go fast
I'm the boy on all the girls
Taking off their Bible belts, storm girls on self destruct
And I can see how Jesus felt

Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Watching movies, true blue movies
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Watching movies, true blue movies
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Watching movies, true blue movies
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon
Watching movies, true blue movies

So did the sympathy for me start to fade?
When your conscience is down
A fix paranoia scars when I need all
So did you ever see the north get so grey?
Swallows me up,
hollows the language in my last lungs
So which fucking ape is on you today?
That's what my head wakes up and says when I crumble

I'm the aim
To suffocate and blame
You gave less
Than you tried to possess
All the greed
Is nothing that I need
If you can't face the grazes

I can't face the grazes
I cannot contain this
I can't fake the traces
I can't face the grazes

So the fever that I got stole my name
It opened me up, twisted my bones
Now I'm nothing
I knew the second time that I saw your face
The city lit up was bleeding its gifts
Now I'm sinking
Just another lonely box beneath her bed
A mark on her back, a bruise in her head
Had she fallen, had she fallen
That is what she wished she had said
Two traces of time were riding the spine
Was it worth it?

I'm the aim
To suffocate and blame
You gave less
Than you tried to possess
All the greed
Is nothing that I need
If you can't face the grazes

I can't face the grazes
I cannot contain this
I can't fake the traces
I can't face the grazes
I can't face the grazes
I can't face the grazes
I can't face the grazes...

Hey ho - who is this,
no one but me my dear,
Please come, say how do,
The things I'll give to you,

A stroke as gentle as a feather,

Hey ho - I am here,
am I not young and fair,
Please come, say how do,
The things I'll show to you,

Would you have a wondrous sight,
the midday sun at midnight,

Fair maid, white and red,
comb you smooth and stroke your hair.

Half life wastes before it goes
It's funny how your bee sting touch never leaves me whole
It's not enough to stay here almost trying
You keep your last laugh watch this dying
It's just half time vertigo
And if you want an answer I don't know
If you had completed me
Don't think I'd be pleased with you
Don't think I'd compete with you
With half of me to take
Half life nothing I'd call home
It's lucky how these phantom limb bee stings never show
It's not enough to leave this falling kindly
You burn my star down twice as brightly
It's just your half light undertow
But if you need forgiveness I don't know
Half light breaks with nothing wrong
Just a corner of my bed where you don't belong
It's kind of you to notice no one's dying
You choked your last laugh almost crying
It's just your half life long to know
And if you need a reason so it goes

It takes too much to please me
Attached but no real feeling
High fives and corporate anthems
Nothing comes to mind

Kitemarked for true low standards
Where more wants all and no less
Just change with no real progress
Nothing comes to mind
I want higher
But nothing comes to mind

Give me a low five
I can't help myself
I'm a low five downsize no one else
Do you love yourself?

Altered states and egos
Potential less than zero
Found God in San Diego
Nothing comes to mind

I half expect to find myself
In full control of nothing else
Lost hope but learnt to hopeless
Nothing comes to mind
I want higher
But nothing comes to mind

Strike you down give me everything you've got
Strike me down I'll be everything I'm not
Count the questions on one hand you don't ask me what I planned
Strike me down should have asked me what went wrong
Strike me down should have stayed away too long

Strike me down give it everything you've got
Chance me now I'll be everything I'm not
Hope's the child of what luck brings
Points the faith in higher things
Ask me now fire at everything at once
Strike me down take it any way you want

Strike me down better left it all unknown
Shout me down should have left it all alone
Wash the questions off my hands
I'm the fate in no one's plans
Strike me down give it everything you've got
Strike me down I'll be everything I'm not

Now your future's got me told
Stopped breathing on my own
I curl to break consent
To print the facts in stone

Suppose for seconds you forget your past
Neglect to turn in think straight stand out last

And I curl now to help me find you out
We're keeping down and sleeping sound

Now your newspeak's aging thin
A pale and hanging faith
A devil sick on sin
Will curl against it's place

Itch to scratch
To strike my past from all it's owed
It's sold

I know you know my head's not in this now
Nothing you could keep so keep me down
Like the stones beneath the water that you walk on to be taller
The hands you stuck together when you prayed you'd wait forever
Just another fragile angel heart
Falling down on lead wings torn apart

The words beneath my skin
The ink that put you in
Destroying all the things you left around
Earthbound coming down

So what you have the nerve to call a friend
Is starved of all the sense to make amends
I'm the glass you break to touch but you never want me much
Like the view across the water from the shoes and two feet smaller
I know it doesn't pay to be this hurt
Falling off the morning getting worse

her innocence above me
today is dead she's around my head
between my history between my headphones
this is her home forever her home

but i can't be her brother
to empower her to become her
trawl through this forgiveness
my memory's so empathy low

this attitude beneath her
it's evident it denies us
proves herself to be closer
but not me forever not me

this sickness avoids all cure
imperfection my downfall
learn myself through symptoms
my memory's so
empathy low

i aim to bug you on your vacancy
never complicate but you talk it cheap
you sense but you don't know
too lame to catch a cold

slowly the signs will read you dumb
surely the times will feel you numb
i know the pains you took to show me
and i'm nothing but your superbug for asking

i hate to bug you on your certainty
never compromise - you're just always weak
you care but you don't show
too proud to catch the flow

under all the truth and facts there's faith enough
if you can't live on love alone it isn't love

slowly the signs will read you dumb
surely the times will feel you numb
i know the depths you sunk to show me
i want the life the world still owes me
and i'm nothing but your superbug for asking
answer - stamp me out

and i'd love to break your fall but no-ones asking me
answer - stamp me out

slowly the signs will read you dumb
surely the times will feel you numb
i know the pains you took to show me
you said it hurts your head to know me
and i'm nothing but your superbug for asking
answer - stamp me out

we're always too always in doubt
works on me
she's nowhere she mainlines helps me out
now i can speak
was heard not seen wasted nothings free
was black was bruised fucked up twenty two

i'm amazed you eat you sleep you function at all
'cos my aims so weak i'd fail to get into my arm
was made the first to laugh
tried but the tribute short changed kidness
flowers and silence
was made the first to laugh
charmed but the weather broke me sober
i've never been colder

seen braver seemed braver since then
but never been
no favours no saviours no sense
it's not in me
so nothing's free ghostdrunk out of reach
so action this cared less never missed
and you preach you teach did i 'learn you' nothing at all
i'm too dumb to see but you stooped for someone this small

you'll always be closing me down denied me remind me i'm sold out
just skin and teeth
left black and bruised fucked up nothing new
was heard not seen wasted so nothing's free

pretty row with it
cute sushi lunches
nineteen steps from out under your feet
can't eat won't eat
have have not me
can't eat won't eat
cute sushi lunches

pretty down on this
cold feel excuses
one lane talk where art and life don't meet
can't see won't see
have have not me
hate like a child hates his hair cut
can't eat won't eat
cute sushi lunches

different ways of counting fingers running through your hair
ten to twenty lifelines if you doubt how this compares
there's fear enough to share a fear of loathing
so easy how you bare the trace of me without you there

so fall like the snow too much too slow
so fragile to say hanging over everyday
a breeze with contempt to shame the others
a story's so thin to cater all your lovers

count me out your standards shadow trade in competence
ten to twenty answers shouting down on confidence
too easy not to share too vain for secret
there's fear enough in there a taste of need in someones cure

I see you couldn't catch your breath
Believe me it's all that it must be
You see I never said my piece
If only you left it that easy
Fractured we have been since sometime sixteen
Failure was on me but your ideals bore me

Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?
Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under?
So colored by you but your monkey messed it up
Uncovered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough
You're like scissors in my coat
You're like splinters in my cup

I know you couldn't care me less
Keep hoping it's all only token
You know I never had my say
If only you'd keep it that open
Loser may have been but it's lost on me
Splintered I will be when your peace breaks cheap
Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?
Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under?
Three color blind you but your monkey messed it up
Surrendered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough
You're like scissors in my coat
You're like splinters in my cup
