It happened before I was ever even here I managed to be dragged into this somehow I will not judge It was nothing to concern me in the first place You can choose to love or choose to not You can stay for the hell of it or you can leave I will not judge It was nothing to concern me in the first place Every story has more than one side You can only deal with what you know at the time I will not judge It was nothing to concern me in the first place I never saw you for too much of my life Now when I see you I just see how alike we are Lost time Such a shame Be careful as you go Because the ones below Will suffer from the bitterness And learn the things that should be left alone That detach us Even when wrong I have to be right They say that it's something to do with your pride and it came from the thing that didn't concern me in the first place It happened before I was ever even here I managed to be dragged into this somehow I will not judge It was nothing to concern me in the first place Though affected by the thing that didn't concern me in the first place

The strings in the night time rang out in the ether Waking the household and waking the neighbours There was no stopping the untamed Desire to feed an intangeable need The best inspiration comes late in the night time Through sleep depravation and time to think How can feed that intangeable need When the life you are living is full of routine A lady says you lost your way But I don't know when the wrong turn was made Eight hour bed time and nine to five day time Freedom at weekends and Sunday night horrors and blues When choosing holidays, spend them wisely Just keep your head down and get the job done How can you ever realise dreams When the life you are living is full of routine The journey you're on is taking your steam A lady says you lost your way But I don't know when the wrong turn was made No I don't know where the wrong turn was made

I throw things at the sky I throw whatever is nearby Your eyes and ears are closed to me The door to you is closed I'm frightened of the dark inside of you The rings around your pale eyes, are showing truth behind the lies you tell yourself I will walk until I'm numb And you will sit there in the dark I will not watch as you self destruct I don't know why I love you I cannot let you go I change my mind constantly I can never see what's in front of me I am lost and so are you And we don't understand each other Regardless of love we will self destruct I don't know why I love you I cannot let you go I don't know why I love you

Grey 03:52
Dark is the feeling of the day Lost is the spirit in your soul Grey is the general way of the sky Feel the world around you fall Cry with a remedy unknown Grey is the general way of the sky Smile and be grateful Listen to your guilty voices Sweep away the dying embers Let yourself go cold inside Dark is the feeling of the day Lost somehow is your way Grey is the cloud hanging over my head Feel the world around you fall Cry 'cause your life is on hold Grey is the general way of the sky Put on a good face Let's pretend that all is okay Do what you have to do Detach yourself from your emotions Smile and be grateful Listen to your guilty voices Sweep away the dying embers Let yourself go cold inside Let yourself go cold inside

White Lies 03:26
A woman crying in the kitchen A man who is lost beyond himself A child is dreaming Silently screaming She lived completely for another Then I watched him run away He was running from his demons And the one thing he couldn't outrun To protect me is your wish But I begged you for the truth Though I'd rather never hear it Little white lies are no use You were crying in the garden I did not know what to do You would always try to shelter me There was no one to shelter you To protect me is your wish But I begged you for the truth Though I'd rather never hear it Little white lies are no use I was sitting at the bedside Every day I would always be on time The weeks went by and then he passed away What was going through his head? Do I even want to know? As he weakened As he withered Maybe he knew that he had to let go I could see the end was coming Though I did not want to see When he was gone I watched you crumble Knowing that all you had was me

Mad Mary 03:03
Mad Mary says I should write a letter to myself Maybe she's right Maybe she is full of I don't know what to do Mad Mary says I should buy a book to help my angry side So I gave it a try and it's sitting on the side Collecting dust like me It can take a long, long time To trust the things you know It can take a long, long time To really trust yourself I had that dream again last night About the old house And the feeling Everything is wrong It can take a long, long time To trust the things you know It can take a long, long time To really trust yourself

Calculator 02:54
I see the boy with the shady eyes I think about the skin that I can't see I wonder what's inside the wrapping paper I want to shake the parcel He's the boy with the shady eyes I wish he'd turn those eyes to me I wish he'd use his silver tongue To whisper secrets in my ear I want to be his calculator and he can push my buttons And everything would just add up With everything in multiples I'll be your calculator Use me for working out on Tease me I feel so alive when I think about us doing wicked things All I do is fantasize While staring at the laptop screen 'cause You're the boy with the dangerous eyes I would like to be alone with you But I would be a little scared For I believe I would be unsafe I'll be your calculator Use me for working out on Tease me

Please 03:32
I've been watching you for a while The way you splash around, the way you dive So nice I come here every day And now I feel compelled to say hello Won't you let me stay? On buses, in parks and alleyways, by swimming pools I have no regret, I feel no guilt This is what I was born to do Watch me touch a place That brings out scarlet in your face Like red, red roses in the snow Oh please So lovely, your skin so shiny So very pale and very white I'm falling in love with western girls I think about them all the time All the time I've been watching you for a while Tiny bathing suits, too good to be true, So nice Watch me touch a place That brings out scarlet in your face Like red, red roses in the snow Turns your head in deep disgust Oh please

Simple Dream 03:20
I am in the sea, deep and green In a reoccurring dream When I wake I'll be further from the shore I've seen the green arms reaching for the sky I've seen the salty water rushing in I tried to find you You had already gone There is a girl who loves it down below There are few who ever dare to go All is calm beneath the stormy surface Sometimes she's frightened by how she feels Sometimes she says things she doesn't mean Sometimes she flares up like a raging sea Sometimes I am swallowed whole There was a man who had a simple dream To take his boat into the murky green The vessel never made it to the water He died with his dream But the love of the sea passed to his daughter Sometimes I am swallowed whole Sometimes I am sinking There are things that cannot be controlled There are things we will always have to face

Wasting Time 02:53
I hate this house I hate the cold I hate the mouldy windowsills I hate the rats in the bathroom I hate the pond in the cellar The stagnant stench of you and me I hate the waterfall that comes through the ceiling I hate the emptyness that comes from your absence The useless rage born from frustration I don't need the stress I don't have the time We don't need the myther You don't have the time either We will only drag Drag each other down I have had enough So I have to leave Breaking down the shambles The place that should be home You don't understand Maybe never will How do I feel I cannot say My mind keeps wandering away I see no reason now to stay I don't want to fight I don't want to hurt you We don't need the anger We don't need the stress Life is very short We are only wasting time
