down

down down down everything is going down deeper darker down to the depths of danger
everyone's a stranger
can't get anything right, its a endless fight
its not you, its me, all can see
listen to the prophet he gets his tips from second thoughts
don't mind if I tell you, history is backwards
write it up later, cast yourself as saviour
waiting for the new light, everything will be alright
I have a date with failure
i make my own moves
can't get out too soon
why don't you hurry up and hurt me
the pain is waiting
the path is fateful
all will be grateful

Shallow

I get my religion on Sunday morning TV
I rate people on the street out of ten, based on whether they'd sleep with me
I never had time for the code of the oh so cool
I never passed the grade at chat up charm school

All my clothes are from your ex-boyfriend
I bought them at the Slavos which is where you dumped him
You replaced him with a whole new habbit
You dull the pain and dance under the influence of coloured tablets

I bought books by Jean Paul Satre, but I never read them
They look good next to my new Nintendo
You tried to insult me by spreading vicious rumour
You just don't understand my very strange sense of humour

Icarus

Flew to high to the sun
and the wax of his wings melted and he came
crashing back to earth

Testing the limits
Pushing the boundaries

I am Icarus
Let me test you
and fly with me
If only a little way

These butterlies have black wings

These butterlies have black wings
they will make you sad
even when the sun shines in
and you'll want to die
when you feel most alive

And I know what I know
I learnt it long ago
It makes me who I am
It makes me strong

The news that they bring
carried on their wings
It's gonna make you cry
You cry so hard

Did I forget to tell you

Did I forget to tell you
I want you
to be here everyday
in my life, all the time
There is no reason
you should ever be away
Did I forget to tell you
I love you
I know I forgot to tell you

Keep Running

Saturation is
the point where you
can't take no more
I'm not there yet
not quite

I still feel
even though I don't want to

why did you
say that to me
why did you ask
that of me
why did you do
that to me

look at me
straight at me
I want you to see
the hurt
pain
betrayed
desertion
blame
loss
falure
fault

you left me
you broke me
you made me

This is a burning heart
This is a frightened child
I am a forgotten man
I am a problem solved
I was shining
I am crying

This is a broken dream
This is a shooting gun
I am a tortured mind
I am a stupid boy
I was living
I am failing

This is a drowning soul
This is a speeding car
I am a dying man
I am a lowly fool
I was flying
I am falling

Free me from bounds, release the tension, give me the guilt, to match your blame, so I may seek remorse, to find salvation, tenfold from within, your pain will come, a hidden part of you, keep running.

Bright Blue Sky

This morning I saw the most beautiful thing

Bright blue sky
Not a cloud in sight
Clear as my mind
Simple things remind me of you

Like a lone rain drop
A single tear
Wish you were here
So I could hold you near

My last wish
Is your first kiss
Just the taste of this
Will send me forth to heaven

I hope and pray
Every single day
that you'll pass my way
A glimpse or a stare

This morning I saw you, the most beautiful thing.
