Addicted back to top

And the girl in the corner has taken your place
Tables turned, wiped the smile from your face

Blood rushing through my veins
I was feeling weak; I was replaced
I listened to the sound, listened to the sound
I listened to the sound of my world crashing down

Now you don't have significance in my life
Except to measure how far you are from right
Now I listen to the sound, listen to the sound
I listen to the sound of my walls breaking down

I used to be addicted to you
But you know that it's gone
Can't go on holding on hoping you'd see the girl I am
I was addicted to you
But it's all in the past
No it's not going to last - I need more
You never give me more

So many things have changed
That I was trying to imitate
I listened to the sound, listened to the sound
I listened to the sound of my head spinning round
Now I'm authentic, it's the way that I feel
So unattractive, your unbridled envy
Now you listen to the sound, listen to the sound
You listen to the sound - I'm the talk of the town

I used to be addicted to you
But you know that it's gone
Can't go on holding on hoping you'd see the girl I am
I was addicted to you
But it's all in the past
No it's not going to last - I need more
You never give me more

And the girl in the corner has taken your place
Tables turned, wiped the smile from your face

As I back to top
As you leave, as you say your goodbyes
I can’t breathe, it’s like I’m breakin’ up inside
My heart crumbles as you walk away
Promises we made, forgotten yesterday

As I fail – as you cry –
Separation comes to make me fall apart inside
As I fail to touch your life –
When you step into the shade, I fall apart inside –

My heart, it’s folded up in pain
I reach out, but I’ll never touch your skin again
Never trusting me, you had your doubts
Didn’t wanna expose yourself, you just wanted out

As I fail – as you cry –
Separation comes to make me fall apart inside
As I fail to touch your life –
When you step into the shade, I fall apart inside –

All I know of love, is how it cuts me up, but I took a chance on you
How did it go so bad? How did I get it so wrong? Why didn’t you wait for me?
Sometimes, I think I can feel you beside me, watching, standing close, woah
But what good is this when I can’t even hold you, see you, woah!

As I fail – as you cry –
Separation comes to make me fall apart inside
And as I fail to save your life –
When they put you in the ground, I fall apart inside –

As I fail – as you die –
As I tear my hands up on your grave, tryna get inside
As I fail – as you die –
As I fail – as you die – yeah!

Broken back to top
When I think back, didn't know that the life I'd lead would break me
And the ones that I'd be close to would only let me down
I believe in being open but a thief will always get in and take what's in your heart

This is for you - you made me feel dirty in my own skin
This is for you - all your promises have done me in
And this is for you - you've got to know that your knife's done bad
I never did nothin' to you but you could have been
A better friend than stabbing my back
(how could I know that you wouldn't be there for me?
(how could I know that you'd let me down time and again)

Now I'm not broken any more
I found a cure, or should I say a cure found me
And I'm a better girl than I've ever been
I'm not broken any more
You don't own me now
I'm fixed now

In the nightclub, at a party...I never found my soldier
Who would lie down in the trenches and cover my old ground
I believe in being truthful but a lie is so inviting to those that bring us down

This is for you - you made me feel dirty in my own skin
This is for you - all your promises have done me in
And this is for you - you've got to know that your knife's done bad
I never did nothin' to you but you could have been
A better friend than stabbing my back
(how could I know that you wouldn't be there for me?
(how could I know that you'd let me down time and again)

Now I'm not broken any more
I found a cure, or should I say a cure found me
And I'm a better girl than I've ever been
I'm not broken any more
You don't own me now
I'm fixed now

It was hopeless, I was sinking - couldn't clear the mess I was in
Then I heard him here beside me, waiting for me to come round
I believe in things that I see and I know that my enemy
Can't touch what's in my heart

This is for you - you made me feel dirty in my own skin
This is for you - all your promises have done me in
And this is for you - you've got to know that your knife's done bad
I never did nothin' to you but you could have been
A better friend than stabbing my back
(how could I know that you wouldn't be there for me?
(how could I know that you'd let me down time and again)

Now I'm not broken any more
I found a cure, or should I say a cure found me
And I'm a better girl than I've ever been
I'm not broken any more
You don't own me now
I'm fixed now

An hotel heiress, American child star
If you don't have the look and you don't fit the mould
You can't be something that you're not just for the money
Let me tell you what I learned up 'til now

It's all about the one that you date, that you're cheating on

Say cheese, pretty please, it's the paparazzi
I quit my girl band - new perfume out next week!
Who's that man on my step? He says he knows me
Did we have a thing? Did he get any photos of me?
I can't move my face! I can't move my face!
Oh my goodness, my fillets just won't stay in place
I bet you wish you looked half as good as me
I bet you wish you were a celebrity

It doesn't matter if you got a slice of talent

It's a mistake.
Why can't you see this is all a mistake?

Yeah, you grin and keep spinning her around (why can't you see that?)
Until you're a dervish and everyone else is a blur (this is what you wanted)
Ah, Christopher, what have you done?

And you planned the whole thing by yourself - this is what you wanted
Yeah, you hired the best caterer in town (why can't you see that?)
Don't want to be too old to run with your sons in the park (this is what you wanted)

Ah, Christopher, what have you done? This isn't a business transaction
Make-believin' you're somebody else (why can't you just leave life to chance?)
What if she ever found out ('cause she don't love you)
That she's not the one who draws you out (and you don't love her)
But her name fell out of a hat? (why can't you just leave life to chance, yeah?)

And you're making a fool of yourself - this is what you wanted
Bought a house and you've got a flash car (why can't you see that?)
If you think you're changing the girl, then you're mistaken (this is what you wanted)

Help me
Talk to me
Save me and take me in your arms

You need it, you want it
Scarred, exsanguinated
Try to resist, but you can't
Voice inside calling you, leading you to the ritual
Feeding too much...

Save me, I'll get what you want
I'll try to supply what you crave
Come on and take me into your arms
That's where I belong - I can't save myself
Save me, I'll get what you want
Don't try to deny what you crave
Come on and take me into your arms
That's where I belong - I can't save myself

You cut me open
My veins run with poison
Do I exist? What 's your plan?
Voice inside calling you, leading you to the ritual
Feeding too much...

Come on and take me into your arms
That's where I belong - I can't save myself
Save me, I'll get what you want
Don't try to deny what you crave
Come on and take me into your arms
That's where I belong - I can't save myself

Look at you
You keep holding out
And I wonder now what's left of you
'Cause it all hangs out
Like the system's down
Empty carcass now
Tired of bleeding

Voice inside calling you, leading you to the ritual
Feeling too much...

Save me, I'll get what you want
I'll try to supply what you crave
Come on and take me into your arms
That's where I belong - I can't save myself

You're not the one, don't try to take my liberty
I've seen it all, been here before
I gave you my best but you screwed it up again
I'm not the one who ever let you down
So let it go, I'm done with messing round
Your foolish mind, so open wide
Taking the arsenic so deep inside!

Your web of lies, you act so good - yeah, you should be in Hollywood!
Try to twist my mind, woah! Only good thing I got from you was your child!
You talk so cheap, didn't think you could - yeah, you should be in Hollywood!
And I won't be here waiting for you, for so long you had me fooled

You're not the one who gave up everything
You dropped the ball, so irresponsible
So what am I? Your petty crime?
You're wasting my time, little boy don't cry!
If you must consummate your seedy lust
Take it somewhere I can't see you turn to dust
You know it all, so why are you falling?
Now I feel that I never really knew you!

Your web of lies, you act so good - yeah, you should be in Hollywood!
Try to twist my mind, woah! Only good thing I got from you was your child!
You talk so cheap, didn't think you could - yeah, you should be in Hollywood!

Yeah you should be in Hollywood!

You're not the one - you ruined everything
You're not the one, don't try to take a piece of me
Hey stupid boy, you won't destroy me
I gave you my best but you screwed it up again
I'm not the one who doesn't come around
Still can't believe the disappointment I have found
Your foolish mind, so open wide
Taking the arsenic so deep inside!

You're not the one
You ruined everything (Yeah, you should be in Hollywood!)
You're not the one
You ruined everything

Honesty back to top
You look at me, my painted smile to deceive you
It's not over - it's never gonna be over
And I stand next to me
And I feel diseased just being here
And I'm not free, 'cause I see what she sees

She's just a corpse pickin' at her cuts to see you

Sadistic streak - and it gets so hard thinkin' rationally
And I'm older. I'm always older.
And I feel so weak, it's just not like it used to be
When I was you and you were me

But in my Honesty, you'd better believe it
If you want to see the colour beneath it
And if I made you leave - that's not how I see it
And if I knew then what I know now...

You look at me - is my painted smile still deceiving you?
I told her, yes, I told her
She's black and blue, what did you do?
Tell me, darlin', is it clear to you?
And I wonder why she didn't end her life?

But in my Honesty, you'd better believe it
If you want to see the colour beneath it
And if I made you leave - that's not how I see it
And if I knew then what I know now

She's just a word forming on your lips to please you
She's just a wreck slashing at her wrists to see you
She's just a corpse picking at her cuts to feel you

And if I knew then what I know now...
And if I knew then what I know now...
If I knew then...

Everything will turn out fine, 'cause we're meant to be together
And I know you feel the same
It's the way it's meant to be, we'll be so happy
Believe me - I only do these things 'cause I love you

Instead of wasting time, accept the things I tell you
'Cause I know what's best for us
You don't see what I see when I see
A future grown from our history
I only do these things 'cause I love you

Now you want to tell me No
I don't think so
When you push me away I know you don't really mean it
You and I could be so good
I know we would
Just try to relax, you gotta learn to let go

It's been the longest time since we woke up together
And I know you miss it too
So I'll make the first move, won't hold it against you
I forgive you

You can't be wondering how I came to this conclusion
I don't know what's wrong with you
Unless you lied and if so
That will make me so angry!
I only do these things 'cause I love you

Now you want to tell me No
I don't think so
When you push me away I know you don't really mean it
You and I could be so good
I know we would
Just try to relax, you gotta learn to let go

Stop struggling, it doesn't hurt
I thought by now that you would have come to your senses
Can't you see it's you and me?
Not her! Who's she? I don't care! She's out of the picture!

Now you want to tell me No
I don't think so
When you push me away I know you don't really mean it
You and I could be so good
I know we would
Just try to relax, you gotta learn to let go

Now you want to tell me No
I don't think so

I only do these things 'cause I love you.

Why can't everybody get off of my back?
Momma said there'd be wars to fight like that
If I'm being my own individual

And I don't want to be part of your rat race!

In my world I'm the kind of girl
Who sees nothing bad in everything changing

What am I not giving you?
What do you expect me to?
I've got my own life to lead
I don't care if you disagree
I've got a one-way ticket to insanity
But in my own opinion it's to clarity
I don't subscribe to your static life

And I don't want to be part of your rat race!

In my world I'm the kind of girl
Who sees nothing bad in everything changing

You can't keep me down

In my world everything's okay

Cyanide, now the time has come to
Go, discard the things that you hold onto
Nitrogen, you're feelin' under pressure now
But you brought it on yourself

You believe you're innocent
Don't understand why all these things hit you the way they do
Oh no, of course it's not because you're down
In a pit of hypocrisy

I don't know if you want to get into this
But if you're gonna get into this
I'm never gonna back down

Lithium can only do so much to
Keep you grounded even though you want to
Be the new Messiah come to save us now
But God's not in you

When you gonna see that your delusion
Is the cause of permanent confusion
All-consuming fire, watch the flames burn down
To the root of your hell.

I don't know if you want to get into this
But if you're gonna get into this
I'm never gonna back down

How to fight a creature with no conscience?
A person does not deserve this!
Take me off your game! I want to believe it's all the same
Take me off your team! I want to believe, I want to believe - But I don't!

I don't know if you want to get into this
But if you're gonna get into this
I'm never gonna back down

I don't know if you want to get into this...

Mystery Unravelling back to top

What if I dance down in the South
What if I close my mouth?

I'm a little sad
And I'm a little angry
You don't know me, you don't know me well

And the psycho said "It's in my head"
The record store keeps playing something
I can't remember and I can't forget
It's a mystery unravelling

Just another moment to keep
But is it authentic to what they believe?
She reaches a hand, but he turns away
Won't hear a word she'll say

And she's a little crazy
She's getting mad
She's empty
"You don't know me, you don't know me well"

And the psycho said "It's in my head"
The record store keeps playing something
I can't remember and I can't forget
It's a mystery unravelling

Unravelling

How much more must they keep pointing fingers?
I don't think that she can play
If her hands are broken
Would she even reach those sparkling ivories?
And did you think that any good
Could come of breaking the seals?
Galloping horsemen in armour of steel
Carry her away, carry her today

And the psycho said "It's in my head"
The record store keeps playing something
I can't remember
I can't remember
I can't remember

Never Enough back to top

I don't got big titties to sell myself
I don't got a vacation in your bed
It doesn't matter what I do, 'cause I'll never be enough for you!
I don't have a disease to state my case, I don't have a politic or race
Yeah, I'm feelin' somethin' else!

I could split myself in two like a hole blown out

You know it's never enough, I'm never enough, I'm never!

It's all these little things remind me I don't ever want to be anything like you
Frustration - my default setting! Complication! Who knows where I've been
In my mind? I try to fit in but you never give in!
I don't got extensions from my head
I don't got a fake tan turning red
Ain't gonna change the way I am to be suitin' you
I don't have a disease to state my case, I don't have a politic or race

Small-minded, offensive people...dayum, your life must be humdrum

Not Your Whore back to top
I don't know what goes on inside your mind
You say what you think I want to hear - it doesn't mean anything
You can't deny, so asinine
So hypocritical! "Too critical!" said I

You're not the same, someone to blame? You're the one
Giving me up for the one who deserted you when you were
Opening up, taking a chance riding love
Then she screwed you up
You tried to do that to me

But I'm not your wet nurse and I'm not your whore
And I'm not your consolation prize any more
Never again can I be that understanding friend
Who gives herself to you, it's neverending!

I try not to let the rage burn deep inside
But it gets hard when I'm so sick of all your pathetic lies
I knew I was right! I ask myself why
Did I get so knotted up in the mess you call your life?

Boy, you're so lame...if you're going to lie, do it well
You should be ashamed; it's so evident, your transparency
Got to reclaim the peace in my mind I once felt
Before you dispelled it
Stop coming after me

I'm not your wet nurse and I'm not your whore
And I'm not your consolation prize any more
Never again can I be that understanding friend
Who gives herself to you, it's neverending!

You were the one, the one that I thought I could trust
But I was wrong...it was all an illusion created
Now you don't belong, so why are you still calling me up?
Hey, don't make a fuss
You lied and mishandled me

I'm not your wet nurse and I'm not your whore
And I'm not your consolation prize any more
Never again can I be that understanding friend
Who gives herself to you, it's neverending!

You're not the same, someone to blame? You're the one

What's wrong now? Tell me what you're feeling

That life doesn't have to be like that
No, it doesn't have to be like that
Yeah, I promise you

Why so sad? You've got a friend in me now
As I told you, I'll be there for you tonight
And I know that, that you don't believe me
I guess I don't always get it right

But I will try to, try to convince you
That life doesn't have to be like that
No, it doesn't have to be like that
Yeah, I promise you

Remember when I said:
"Even though a lot of time could pass
And you're behaving like an ass
I'll be your friend, I'll be there for you."
And how we laughed at all the spaces with a shrine
To all your videos and alcohol
I'll be your friend, I'll be there for you

What's wrong now? Tell me what you're feeling
'Cause I can't stand how you bottle it inside
And I know that, that you don't believe in
Anything, anything,, anything at all

But I will try to, try to convince you
That life doesn't have to be like that
No, it doesn't have to be like that
Yeah, I promise you

Remember when I said:
"Even though a lot of time could pass
And you're behaving like an ass
I'll be your friend, I'll be there for you."
And how we laughed at all the spaces with a shrine
To all your videos and alcohol
I'll be your friend, I'll be there for you

Townsend, Pan and Ustinov - it's crazy how we hit it off
But now it's getting kinda hard
To be your friend and be there for you
You should consider how I keep my counsel even now
Despite the love you give her
She won't care and she won't be there for you

What's wrong now? Tell me what you're feeling...

Role Model back to top
And I don't know if I could ever be a role model, but that's not why I'm here
You'll see that I've been nourishing my soul in a moment
Opening the whole of me to focus on new life for me
And my time, I feel it's coming

Oh yeah, it's coming over, coming over now
Coming over, coming over easy
Coming over, coming over now
Coming over, coming over easy

And I know it's worth the way I live my life on the outside
Being true to myself is right
I'm never gonna let silly people bring me down again, oh no
Cos I've still got my pride

Now I feel the weight is nearly over, I can feel it falling from my shoulder
Maybe I'm just getting older
And it doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter what you say
I know that I'll be okay
And sometimes it felt so hard, I thought I was slipping under
Sometimes it felt so hard, I thought I was slipping under

Coming over, coming over now
Coming over, coming over easy
Coming over, coming over now
Coming over, coming over easy

And I know it's worth the way I live my life on the outside
Being true to myself is right
I'm never gonna let silly people bring me down again, oh no
Cos I've still got my pride

And I've been asking myself too many questions
Like "How? When? Where? Why did I deserve this?"
Being reprimanded, the game's been disbanded
Did I do something wrong? No more...

Roll The Dice back to top
You got a one-track, sleazy mind
Always looking for new action
But the one thing you can't find is
Happiness and peace of mind
You gotta give and take sometimes
'Cause it's not always about you
And in the old days, you could get away
With the games that don't work for you now
'Cause your lines are tired and you just look desperate!

Your time is up so give it to me
I'll roll the dice and still come up three times
Head straight to jail, you've broken your vow
Don't pass Go, give it up; you're worthless now

You got a lustful, wanderin' eye
It used to drive me to distraction
That the one thing you can't find
Was in front of you, but you're staring blind
Did you think I wouldn't mind
How you put everyone above me?
Well, in the old days, you could get away
With your games, 'cause I had no sense of self
But now your lines are tired and you just look desperate!

Your time is up so give it to me
I'll roll the dice and still come up three times
Head straight to jail, you've broken your vow
Don't pass Go, give it up; you're worthless now

You got a take-it-easy mind
No, you never lift a finger
And the one thing you can't find is
Striding off into the light
It's a pointless exercise
Trying to explain this to you
You won't listen, you're just missing
The games you played that don't work for you now

Your time is up so give it to me
I'll roll the dice and still come up three times
Head straight to jail, you've broken your vow
Don't pass Go, give it up; you're worthless now
(You don't pass go, you lost the game, you lost the round)

Your time is up so give it to me (You had the time, you had the choice, you had it all)
I'll roll the dice and still come up three times (You gave it up, you wanted more, you want it all)
Head straight to jail, you've broken your vow (You don't know what you lost in me)
Don't pass Go, give it up; you're worthless now (You don't pass go, you lost the game, you lost the round)

Salute To The Queen back to top
Disappointment rush through me
Ain't it funny how you managed to get away?
I'm alone again in dirty sheets
I bet you're thinking: "Such an easy lay"
But you're not the man I want - just a pale imitation of the one before
And your cheap invitation...well, it gets me off
But who made you the god of all?

Warm the ointment; calm the burn now
Ain't it funny how we make the same mistake again?
Unreliable, self-centred
So don't promise things you can't deliver anyway
But you're not the man I want - just a pale imitation of the one before
And this strange conversation…well, it sets me off
But who made you the god of all...

Passion? It's not your friend! Passion! It's just a weakness in the end!

And I - I'll reach an impasse
And you - you bring the JD
And we - we'll make a video
Line up toy soldiers, salute to the Queen!
I'll reach an impasse
And you - you bring the JD
And we, we'll make a video
Line up toy soldiers, salute to the Queen!

Breaking glass will cut your hands up
Ain't it funny how I never ever miss a beat?
Wrap your hands up; dirty bandage
Darkened ink won't be enough to wash your soul clean
But you're not the man I want - just a pale imitation of the one before
And this weird situation...well, it gets too much
Who made you the god of all...

Passion? It's not your friend! Passion! It's just a weakness in the end!

And I - I'll reach an impasse
And you - you bring the JD
And we - we'll make a video
Line up toy soldiers, salute to the Queen!
I'll reach an impasse
And you - you bring the JD
And we, we'll make a video
Line up toy soldiers, salute to the Queen!

Taken In back to top
My secret, my best friend, my honey – paint me green again
My soul twin, my moonlight, my confidante is gone
I never got the chance to save you from the demon blood
Who stole the golden discus, like a sun pulled from the sky to dusk

They’ve been taken in – well, take away my pain
Take away my rage – Let justice prevail
So hail and farewell, kick it in the rear for me
I know who should feel guilty. And I rage. I ache.

My sight and my music, my translator – paint me green again
My angel, my great ape, my partner-in-crime is gone
I never got the chance to make it like it used be
If time is like a boomerang, it’ll send you flying back to me

They’ve been taken in – well, take away my pain
Take away my rage – Let justice prevail
So hail and farewell, kick it in the rear for me
I know who should feel guilty. And I rage.

Tito said I can’t believe in everything that I’m not hearing
He told me that he’s got your back and everyone is throwing a party
So much bullshit and deceit, my fury is enraged, unleashed
I will avenge you, not forget you! Shakespeare! Shakespeare!

My home and my heart and my comfort – paint me green again
My red-blooded meat-eater, so sweet a friend is gone
I never got the chance to wade into another joke
Someone stole you from the ones who love you – don’t forget about us!

They’ve been taken in – God, take away my pain
Take away my rage – Let justice prevail
So hail and farewell, kick it in the rear for me
I know who should feel guilty.

I rage.

I ACHE.

Tongue-Tied back to top
Tongue-tied, are you twisted, are you nervous?
Is it making you
Foolish? Are you fakin'? Are you no one?
Am I taking you
Somewhere that you don't want to remember
'Cause you see how you once were?
And you still are and you will be...
But I gotta get inside you

Forever tongue-tied!
Forever twisted!
I said I gotta get inside you

And I know you don't want to know that
You can't hold me back any longer
Why so sad? We both know that
We're heading for a disaster!
And I know the difference between us
I can't hold on any longer
Yeah, I know that; so quit saying:
"It's all gone but I can't believe it!"

Tongue-tied, unassisted, out of service
Is it making you
Reckless? Are you shameless? Are you hopeless?
Am I making you
Up like a Mojito, Cuban hiball
Drink it up like a good man
Tip and swallow like you do me
And now I gotta get inside you.

Forever tongue-tied!
Forever twisted!
I said I gotta get inside you

And I know you don't want to know that
You can't hold me back any longer
Why so sad? We both know that
We're heading for a disaster!
And I know the difference between us
I can't hold on any longer
Yeah, I know that; so quit saying:
"It's all gone but I can't believe it!"

Don't tell my heart to speak the truth
I may or may not think of you
But I'll never say a word
It would be my undoing...
For one last time, let's be uncouth
And consequently we'll undo
The ties that bind but for now I will leave you

Tongue-tied, intercepted, unprotected
'Cause you're mine and I'm
Your own sweet Achilles, Belladonna
Deadly Nightshade
We're sickened and we're toxic; mass confusion
But we both want it
Last time! Nearly over and it will be forever!

And I know you don't want to know that
You can't hold me back any longer
Why so sad? We both know that
We're heading for a disaster!
And I know the difference between us
I can't hold on any longer
Yeah, I know that; so quit saying:
"It's all gone but I can't believe it!"

Don't want it - a covert operation
Don't want it - another complication
Don't want it - a bad situation
Don't want it - a cheaper imitation
Don't want it - a hidden combination
Don't want it - a bad education
Don't want it - another accusation
Don't want it - I had a revelation

Trick Of The Light back to top
Black night, bright stars, but you're still afraid
Toss and turn, you can't sleep in the bed you made
Something wet, something sticky in your hair
Is it blood? Is it guilt of your dirty little deeds?
Fake-baked, not a doctor, nor a priest
I don't care that you're pickin' on me
You've got a fault, baby; you're a bad seed
Feel sorry for yourself, if that's what you need, yeah!

It's not a trick of the light – we're all the same in the dark
Leave it all up to you; you don't know what you want
Just get over it – start being a man
You know you're responsible for all that happened

Princess, manifest into a Queen
Slight of hand, you can't see what you've done to me
It doesn't matter, 'cos I've won it in the end
Got God, what you got? Did you lose your only friend?
Don't take what another man could be
Hoping that your twisted mind's free
Close your eyes, when I'm holding out the key
Feel sorry for yourself if that's what you need, yeah!

It's not a trick of the light – we're all the same in the dark
Leave it all up to you; you don't know what you want
Just get over it – start being a man
You know you're responsible for all that happened

Black night, bright stars, but you're still afraid

Violently back to top
Black veil and falling tears for my loss and I stood out in the darkness
And I wished for you to take my hand and sweep me off my feet
Cripple me with longing, me and my psychoses
What did Charlotte do after that anyway?

It doesn't count if you stick out your tongue and count to twentyone
A boy could do that - how am I supposed to sleep now?
You're so amoral in your thoughts, Machiavellian in your deeds
Still you don't see me

And I'm violently shaken, violently fall
You don't understand me or the nature of my soul
You know I'm violently open, violently closed
Suffocate my senses - Violently cold

I knelt down at the foot of your cross and I prayed for my salvation
And I begged for you to take me with you, now I'm on my knees
Desperately trying to walk across the water
The waves, they cover me but you don't rescue me

You never heard me anyway, but you don't want me to be
Anything without you, so I wrap myself around you
I'm just like ivy on a tree, black molasses on a knife
You won't share your life

And I'm violently shaken, violently fall
You don't understand me or the nature of my soul
You know I'm violently open, violently closed
Suffocate my senses - Violently cold

Empty and full, head facing both ways
I've tried this before
This passing sensation is sinful and pure
Complicated simplicity, this is my state of mind

And I'm violently shaken, violently fall
You don't understand me or the nature of my soul
You know I'm violently open, violently closed
Suffocate my senses - Violently cold

And I'm violently wanting, violently call
Cover me with kisses, make no sense at all
You know I'm violently aching, violently stall
Caught in your enchantment, violently thrall

And I'm violently shaken, violently fall
You don't understand me or the nature of my soul
You know I'm violently open, violently closed
Suffocate my senses - Violently cold

Waiting back to top
I feel like a mannequin
All dressed up in my underwear
Waiting for you
Aching for you
Breaking for you
And you're never there

Close my eyes so that I can see
I pretend, it's a fantasy
Faking for you
Taking for you
Waking for you
But there's only me

So come on tell me now how you want it now
I love the way you show up when you're needy
I know the inside out, don't think I'm blinded now
So cheap and nasty is your game
And it's all about you

Five and you haven't called me yet
I sit smoking a cigarette
Waiting for you
Aching for you
Breaking for you
Turn on the TV set

So come on tell me now how you want it now
I love the way you show up when you're needy
I know the inside out, don't think I'm blinded now
So cheap and nasty is your game
And it's all about you

And I can't stay away
You're lighting up my face (You make a brighter day)
I know it's temporary, it always will be, you don't really want me
(Come on honey, say you want me, say you need me)
But I keep on waiting, anticipating that one day you will be
(Come on honey, say you want me, say you need me)
Oh yeah!

And I know that you don't feel the same, you don't look at me that way
It's only physical for you
And I need you and I want you
But you don't

So come on tell me now how you want it now
I love the way you show up when you're needy
I know the inside out, don't think I'm blinded now
So cheap and nasty is your game
And it's all about you

I feel like a mannequin
All dressed up in my underwear
Waiting for you
Aching for you
Breaking for you
And you're never there...

White Alligators (Give It) back to top
(How could you be so nasty? How can you be so vile?)

You were the one who hunted me down, rocked my world, yeah
Said that we were twin souls, we broke the mould, us against them all (P.T.R.)
You and I on the phone, internet, yeah
So what you jonesin' for now? (I've been cast out! What's your new addiction?)

And yourself, you know that you're lyin', full of shit, yeah
Come on now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me, yeah!
You know the way you fake it, it makes you look so vacant
Oh, now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me - oh I think you're outta luck now!

(And the worst thing is you're making out that I'm the crazy one? But you and I know the truth)

You're a selfish S.O.B. - it's always you, you, YOU, never ME!
(You know, it's so sad that you turned out to be exactly the type of person that you claim to hate)
But I made allowances for you and your fucked-up brain
So I said "I'll let him go on with his fantasy
I don't want to ruin things; I don't wanna rock the gig" (No confrontation, just humiliation)

And yourself, you know that you're lyin', full of shit, yeah
Come on now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me, yeah!
You know the way you fake it, it makes you look so vacant
Oh, now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me - oh I think you're outta luck now!

(So what did you get out of this?)
How could you do me like this when I want to believe in you?
(You don't get to absolve yourself by blaming it on your chemical imbalances, Poor Me syndrome, or just being forgetful, or that you're an addict.)
You said we were friends, you said that you loved me now, you'd always have my back
But you LIED. (You don't get to do that.)
You LIED. You're always LYING (you're an addict).
Why didn't I see? (You don't get to do that. You're an addict.)
How did I let you get to me? (How could you be so nasty? How can you be so vile?)

You're a selfish S.O.B. - it's always you, you, YOU, never ME!
(You know, it's so sad that you turned out to be exactly the type of person that you claim to hate)
But I made allowances for you and your fucked-up brain
So I said "I'll let him go on with his fantasy (but you and I know the truth)
I don't want to ruin things; I don't wanna rock the gig"

And yourself, you know that you're lyin', full of shit, yeah (And you made me feel like a fool, yeah!)
Come on now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me, yeah!
(You made me think I was losing my mind)
You know the way you fake it, it makes you look so vacant
Oh, now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me - oh I think you're outta luck now!

And yourself, you know that you're lyin', full of shit, yeah
(No I never did anything to warrant the way you treat me now, yeah)
Come on now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me, yeah!
You know the way you fake it, it makes you look so vacant
(You know you're not being fair to me now, I gave you my all, I gave you my heart)
Oh, now, give it to me, give it to me, give it
Give it to me - oh I think you're outta luck now!

(So what did you get out of this?)
