LYRICS
 

VIOLENT
pretty violent
runners up in a casualty
lost all common sense
both parties call victory
one delusional then there’s me

pretty violent
making up with an i.o.u.
could have circumvent
from a passerby point of view
what’s a carnivore s’pose to do?

you’re making me violent but why?
your nihilistic tendencies are making me
violent that’s why you’re nihilistic

harmony
living in harmony
I want you honestly
living in spite of me
 

PART OF ME
I’m bonafide hermit out with the sun
I admit that it’s not everyone’s ideal existance
or their idea of fun
seems to work for me
I’m waiting for the moment
the time will come I know it
the strength of my conviction
will recognise my soul

part of me will know
part of me will know
stop me in a street
stranger when we meet
part of me will know

I don’t deny selfish hunger in me
my ambition can be diva to see
I’m not above her but I’mhoping to be
substitutes are free

I’m waiting for the moment
the time will come I know it
the strength of my
conviction will recognise my soul

EVERY GIRL
make mine over ice
gin, lime over ice
you can buy my time for a little while
one to relax
I wont argue with that
sensitise my blood sugar

I’m not looking for a new religion
I can get it on the television
need to find a way in this lonely world
that’s the side effect for every girl

tell me everything
show me everything
you don’t even know me or anything
but you can relax
take some comfort in that
I won't kiss and tell honey

I’m not looking for a new religion
I can get it on the television
I don’t need a man to complicate me
I just want someone who stimulates me
need to find a way in this lonely world
that’s the side effect for every girl
the side effect for every girl

I’m letting moonlight have wicked way tonight
educate me, compensate me
for living life amongst the shadows

NERVE AND CONSEQUENCES

I get nervous at thethought of falling flat on my face
just be patient I’ll befamous for repeating mistakes

 but I’ll never play your favourite even if you demand it
I’m sure it’s just a phase and I’ll get over it
I will get over it

second guessing every meaning of every word
you might say
hope to catch at any moment
some message headed my way

but I’ll never play your favourite
even if you demand it
I’m sure it’s just a phase and I’ll get over it
I will get over it

when will I learn to just play the game?
when will I learn it’s only a name?
such a silly thing

UNDONE

starlight in your eye might cause a meltdown
sitting duck you’re really lucky
to be faithless if you’re honest with yourself
it’s bound to haunt you
it’s bound to want you
to walk a fine line and work against you
and when it happens you’ll know about it

be undone
be undone
you can be sure of that
be undone
be undone

you can be sure of that
hold to ways you know
too much for some
or not enough for one another to be
binding or to be certain of yourself
it’s bound to haunt you
it’s bound to want you
to walk a fine line and work against you
and when it happens you’ll know about it

take all your time
you could take it easy
you could make it easy
be undone

TENDERHOOK

lay your hand on me
do you know how that feels?
playing on my skin
you make a life line of it
tender is the touch
you say it all for me
I’m strong enough but take it easy on me

I’m strong enough but it’s all too much
I’m drowning here

I shouldn’t be the one that has to tell you, baby
I shouldn’t be the one that has to tell you, baby
being here with you
it really scares me
I shouldn’t be the one

WHAT YOU DO (BASTARD)

I’m not a stone, I bleed just like you do
I’m flesh and bone, I feel just like you do
no part of me can be immune
would like to be but still I bruise
haven’t got a lot to lose

don’t be afraid take it like a man
please behave the same way if you can
no bitter tongue will get to me
and if it did I won’t let you see

show the bastards what you mean

so close I can taste it
I’m ready to please
too close now to fake it
pretending is sweet
I’m down on my knees
I’m dying to

show the bastards what you do

IF YOU LIED

take one step back
get the picture into view
the focus is clear and make no decision
the jury is hung by the guilt of omission

you lied
if you lied I could think that it’s alright
I could pretend that I don’t see much of anything

take one step back
get the picture in to view
the focus is clear and make no decision
the jury is hung by the guilt of omission

I called on you today
for those things you want to say
the sentiment is honest but
the child in me would rather

you lied
if you lied I could think that it’s alright
I could pretend that I don’t see much of anything

give that much to me I’ll be indebted
I don’t want to be
but if the truth be known I’d rather you lied

SLOWBURN

take it from me
there’s a wall you can’t breach
with pretty words they sound absurd
like cheap philosophy

I stepped through it clean
and the scars show no more
what’s then was then and now is when
I choose to ignore

smiles are made of accolades
that don’t belong to me

slowburn
slowburn
all the while you learn
slowburn
all the while

believe me when I say
it’s a hard pill to take
my second skin is wearing thin
my polished visage aches

it’s not the fact I’m a part of that
it’s the thought I’m part of this

behave like someone-else and I’m doing it naturally
one way is not enough but I keep it to myself

there for no-one else
I keep it to myself
I keep it to myself
slowburn

BREATHER

I could be ball & chain
a satin noose around your neck
so breathe if you can
I don't mean anything
by being cruel to be kind
it's more than that

we think alike and speak the same
the pattern is un-nerving
it's up to me to find if you're cool with that
it's up to me

naked apologies and compromise
to some degree
to please me
colours change in fading light
you'll know when it's perfect

no I'm not kidding
you're likened to a falling trap
though I should be grateful cos many
before were not able to crawl back

no I'm not kidding
it's tough enough to verbalise
or sympathise

YOU

when you're gone I'll be better off alone
I tell myself that I don't need anybody else
you're unaware the fool in me still cares
for that fool in you

I've figured out what the fuss is all about
the trail you leave was still enough
to make me grieve
still unaware the fool in me cares
for that fool in you

nobody I need
nobody I don't care bout you
