| Jumping Someone Else's Train Don't say what you mean You might spoil your face If you walk in the crowd You won't leave any trace It's always the same You're jumping someone else's train It won't take you long To learn the new smile You'll have to adapt Or you'll be out of style It's always the same You're jumping someone else's train If you pick up on it quick You can say you were there Again and again and again You're jumping someone else's train It's the latest wave That you've been craving for The old ideal Was getting such a bore Now you're back in line Going not quite quite as far But in half the time Everyone's happy They're finally all the same 'cause everyone's jumping Everyone else's train Jumping someone else's train Jumping someone else's train Jumping someone else's train Fear of Ghosts Like a feeling that I'm down Down inside my heart Like I'm looking out through Splitting bloodred Windows in my heart From a higher up than heaven And a harder down than stone Shake the fear that always clawing Pulls me clawing down alone As I spitting splitting bloodred Breaking windows in my heart And the past is taunting Fear of ghosts Is forcing me apart And the further I get From the things that I care about The less I care about How much further away I get... I am lost again With everything gone And more alone Than I have ever been I expect you to understand To feel it too But I know that even if you will You cannot ever help me Nor can I Ever help you A letter to Elise oh elise it doesn't matter what you say i just can't stay here every yesterday like keep on acting out the same the way we act out every way to smile forget and make-believe we never needed any more than this any more than this oh elise it doesn't matter what you do i know i'll never really get inside of you to make your eyes catch fire the way they should the way the blue could pull me in if they only would if they only would at least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away from me and you there're worlds to part with aching looks and breaking hearts and all the prayers your hands can make oh i just take as much as you can throw and then throw it all away oh i throw it all away like throwing faces at the sky like throwing arms round yesterday i stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you and the face i saw looked back the way i wanted to but i just can't hold my tears away the way you do elise believe i never wanted this i thought this time i'd keep all of my promises i thought you were the girl i always dreamed about but i let the dream go and the promises broke and the make-believe ran out..... so elise it doesn't matter what you say i just can't stay here every yesterday like keep on acting out the same the way we act out every way to smile forget and make believe we never needed any more than this any more than this and every time i try to pick it up like falling sand as fast as i pick it up it runs away through my clutching hands but there's nothing else i can really do there's nothing else i can really do there's nothing else i can really do at all..... Other Voices Whisper your name in an empty room You brush past my skin As soft as fur Taking hold I taste your scent Distant noises Other voices Pounding in my broken head Commit the sin Commit yourself And all the other voices said Change your mind You're always wrong Always wrong Come around at christmas I really have to see you Smile at me slyly Another festive compromise But I live with desertion And eight million people Distant noises Of other voices Pulsing in my swinging arms Caress the sound So many dead And all the other voices sing Change your mind You're always wrong Cut if only you'd never speak to me the way that you do if only you'd never speak like that it's like listening to a breaking heart a falling sky fire go out and friendship die i wish you felt the way that i still do the way that i still do if only you'd never look at me the way that you do if only you'd never look like that when i look at you i see face like stone eyes of ice mouth so sweetly telling lies i wish you felt the way that i still do the way that i still do but you don't you don't feel anymore you don't care anymore it's all gone if only you'd never pull from me the way that you do if only you'd never pull like that when i'm with you i feel hopeless hands helplessly pulling you back close to me i wish you felt the way that i still do the way that i still do if only you'd ever speak to me the way you once did look at me the way you once did pull to me the way you once did but you don't you don't feel anymore you don't care anymore it's all gone it's all gone to wish impossible things remember how it used to be when the sun would fill the sky remember how we used to feel those days would never end those days would never end remember how it used to be when the stars would fill the sky remember how we used to dream those nights would never end those nights would never end it was the sweetness of your skin it was the hope of all we might have been that filled me with the hope to wish impossible things to wish impossible things but now the sun shines cold and all the sky is grey the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears and all i wish is gone away all i wish is gone away all i wish is gone away Doubt Stop my flight to fight And die And take a stand to change my life So savage with red desperation I clench my hands You draw your claws A hidden rage consumes my heart Fuelled by years of wasted time I close my eyes And tense myself And screaming Throw myself in fury over the edge And into your blood Tear at flesh And rip at skin And smash at doubt I have to break you Fury drives my vicious blows I see you fall but still I strike you Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Drained of everything but pain Screaming throw myself in fury Over the edge and into your blood Kiss you once and see you writhe Hold you close and hear you cry Kiss your eyes and finish your life Kiss your eyes Finish your life Again and again Your body falls The movement is sharp and clear and pure And gone I stop and kneel beside you Knowing I'll murder you again tonight Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Knowing I'll murder you again Tonight |
