the choice
well, you know that it's the only way
the only way we can relate
the only way you can persuade me
well, i know that it's a problem too
cause i feel so much closer to you
now that i know what you would do
if you
hey, insult me, i've taken it before
and i feel so guilty keeping it all to myself
hey, get inside my head, tear me into shreds
i've heard it all before and oh
just don't
don't give me the choice
i'm tired of having a voice
i just want to be told
well, go on, tell me i'm wrong

try (crush song)
jealous that you left a smile
for someone else again
jealous that you spent your time
with someone else again
jealous that you waste your life
on someone not worth it
jealous that you give your heart
to someone who does not deserve it
i'm asking you to stay a while
get to know what we mean
i'm asking you to waste your time
on someone like me
i'm asking just to save a life
say anything to get you to like me
i'm asking cause i have to try
even if you'll never like me

eternal inferno
i see red
all the other colours i'm blind to
i see red
looking in your eyes i'm surprised to
oh when we are alone
i'm not up in the clouds
i'm not in the sky with jesus
and the blessed crowd
i'm below the sinking stones
the end of the earth
the centre of the world
and this
where it burns
where we sink in
where it hurts
and yes, this
is where i want to be
in the eternal
inferno
with you
i see red
in the feeling and the heat that gets so cold
i see red
when i see your face i can tell...

bed of nails
you don't mean anything you say
but then you mean everything
you say you don't want to cause me pain
i can't be sure of you
you put the gun against my head
you put the knife inside my chest
you break apart the faith, the loss
the moving on, it cuts across me
i could barely sleep for days
you couldn't even stay awake
you didn't care enough to think twice or listen
i could barely breathe beneath the bed of nails
you lay down for me
you can't look me in the face
can't even turn around to look at me
after everything we put...

last chance
so if this was the only chance
i feel nothing for you
surrender all these broken promises
they mean nothing to you
and no dusk tinted romance will change my mind
and no wasted afternoons alone will make you mine
cause i'm done
if this is it, with nothing left
i won't make you the best
deny the mind that tricks and trips me up
it means nothing to anyone
and no coffee scented mornings will give me hope
and no wasted discoveries will make me choke
because i don't want anything else
i'm done now, with you
i don't...

the sensation of a dream
do you ever just lie back
and think of yourself
nothing else because lately
it's you, and no one else
do you ever just feel like
you can't hit the target
cause I'll take your mind off it
if you can take my mind off this
the sensation of a dream
well I'm bored to death
so come and make it real
for me
do you ever get drunk and shift your thoughts
somewhere else
high speed eye contact
and a sweet connection
so when did everything get
so fucking boring
i miss your face with no one else in the room
say...

Drawn To You
I want a sunset, pretty dress
Red hot day
I want a cold drink, salt skin
Accidental date
Can we be alone?
I want the bitter taste to burn in my chest right now
New years kiss, electric somehow
Wanna be alone with you
Well if you're down
Want you to know that I'm so
Well if you're around
Want you to know that I'm so
Drawn to you
I want sparks, celebration fireworks
In my heart, a bright and glowing night
Just the two of us
I want spirits
Raised so high and light as air
I want to dream of it...

better than that
I used to think that you were too good for me anyway
I used to think you were the hero and I was the villain
And every time I started to move on I'd think of you and it would come undone
And just before I fell asleep I'd revert to missing you
And now you take me home and get me drunk
And tell me you want me just to confuse me
When you shut me out and leave me alone
But I don't wanna be ignored
Cause I can do better, I deserve better than that
I deserve better than that
I used to spend so many nights wishing I had done things differently...

When You're Around
I've been by myself again
Taking shelter from the February rain again
I'm seduced by what's familiar to me
i feel safe in this storm
All alone again and happy enough
Promising myself this time it's done
Outside I am so loud, I'll talk to anyone else
When you're around
To avoid being found
I know what it's like to give up too late, too late
I know what it's like to be found out, my mistake
I'm not alright with it
No thanks for asking
I don't feel sane anymore
I wish we'd never even met
I wish we'd never even met
I...

rejection [short poem]
the words catch in my throat
you say that you're not interested
that's fine, i'm blind drunk anyway
it's such a shame
and the last time we speak could be tonight
you wouldn't care
but i'm too drunk to stand
and i can't look you in the eye
you say that you're not interested
that's fine, i'm blind drunk anyway
it's such a shame
and the last time we speak could be tonight
you wouldn't care
but i'm too drunk to stand
and i can't look you in the eye

burn [song]
would you crawl
or are you the one who walks and cracks the whip
so she will trip
and lose her ego
are you soft
or are you the violent type
whose warms hands bite
like ice following flame
let me burn you
let me chase you
let me hurt you
let me taste you
do you scream
or are you hushed
like it's something shameful
something you can't know or wait for, love
do you steal
lying on white sheets
would you need blood
to feel like you're the only one
let me burn you
let me chase you
let...

bad lust II
Spirited tonight
I'm the sin, I'm the sin within
Devolved, degraded
Wearing thin from the thread that begins it
Drunk off your laser beams, don't quit
The pull's just drawing, drawing in
Desire complex, innocent
Give me innocence
I feel unreal with lips on enemy lines
Your energy quiets me
For so long I've felt so disenfranchised
Now my cold heart beats anew
I just know it can't be real
I swear I loved you just to feel more than boredom
Now my self restraint is well worn through
I want what I want and you give nothing...
I'm the sin, I'm the sin within
