Stacked Actors
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Oh mirror mirror, you're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it's time we all should come clean
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it,
Can you make it look like we want
Hey hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah but what do you do
When you're just another aging drag queen

Breakout
There is Nothing Left to Lose

You make me dizzy running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend,
Better get out
You know you make me break out
I don't want to look like that
You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more I take
I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again.
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off watching me crawl away
Try to get out

Learn To Fly
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying ( trying)
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything is alright..
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try and make this life my own

Gimmie Stitches
There is Nothing Left to Lose

I can be your right of way
So we can get out of here
I'll always be the one who runs from everyone
Cause everyone's just too weird
Sink with someone tied to me
I'm making you volunteer
Another one has come and gone
They crawl along, make them disappear
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
Take another stab at me, I promise in time I'll heal
But yesterday went on and on a bit too long
I waited out on high street
There's nothing to find out here
Another day has come and gone
They crawl along, wasting all these years
How can you go on when you're murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never
Before I get my blood on you

Generator
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Lately I'm getting better
Wish I could stay sick with you
But there's too many egos left to bruise
Call it sin, you can call it whatever,
Eating deep inside of you
Well if it were me it's all I'd ever do
Steal me now and forever
I'll steal something good for you
The criminal in me is no one new
Till you find something better
When there's nothing left to use
And everything starts going down on you
I'm the Generator, firing whenever you quit
Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it's on
Yeah can't you hear my motored heart
You're the one that started it
Send me out on a tether
Swing it round I'll spin your noose
You let it down
I'll hang around with you, till you find someone better
When there's no one left to use, and everyone keeps going down

Aurora
There is Nothing Left to Lose

You believe there's something else
To relieve your emptiness
And you dream about yourself
And you bleed and breathe the air
And it's on and on
I just kinda died for you
You just kinda stared at me
We will always have the chance
We can do this one more time
Hell yeah, I remember aurora
All this time
Take me now, we can spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we'll turn and come back down
You believe there's somewhere else
Where it's easier than this
And you see outside yourself
And you buy the hole you'll fill
And it's on and on
On and on aurora wait for everyone
Wait till the last one's done

Live-In Skin
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Take your payroll, and your lottery,
There's a place I know,
There's a robbery, and I swear I'll never tell
If you swear you'll never tell, and
We'll all make out so well
We will all make out so well
Head on with my hate, into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
I'm amounted just the same old glitter story
From the sea floor, metamorphosis
And I can't change back for you
I will not change back for you
I must live in skin that's new
I'm a livid skin that's new
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside,
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again, I'm amounted

Next Year
There is Nothing Left to Lose

I'm in the sky tonight,
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I'll be coming home next year
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now,
Living with our heads underground
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
When I come down
I'll be coming home next year
I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
When I come down
I'll be coming home next year
Say good-bye

Headwires
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Have you been headwired
Were you satisfied
Did it free the feelings in your spine
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Help you feed the wires when your head unwinds
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive
Stationed on the wire, one day I'll let go
Tell them all hell
The sun is on
Arlandria, headwire

Ain't it the Life
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Dear Haley, can you save me from the borrowed cloud I'm on
All you gotta do is try,
Pray you're just getting by
Hey wait I thought you'd made it
How'd your bottled crown fall off
Tell me how'd you get so tired
Faded down to the wire
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time, so very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride
One day we all can say we're gone
And haunt the ground we're from
Everything's so open wide
Here within the divide
Aint it the life, got no crime, just sail on by

M.I.A
There is Nothing Left to Lose

Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down
Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town,
Drinking their spoils down, cheap imitations
The revelation is now.
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hit's the ground, I'm good at escaping
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
So you don't find me I'm going mia
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Say good-bye to me I'm going MIA
I can find relief I'm going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Better than playing dumb

Doll
The Colour And The Shape

You know in all of the times that we've shared
I've never been so scared
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there

I wish i never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there

Top


Monkey Wrench
The Colour And The Shape

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time
it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten
don't want to be your monkey wrench
one more indecent accident
i'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
what do you do when all your enemies are friends
now and then I'll try to bend
under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One last thing before I quit
 I never wanted any more
than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
and all the shit
that somehow came along with it
still there's one thing that comforts me
since I was always caged and now I'm free

fall in fall out

Hey, Johnny Park!
The Colour And The Shape

Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruises colours
everything fades in time it's true

Wish that I had another
stab at the under cover
was it a change in mind for you?

It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I selling you out?
Sit and watch
Your every mood

Your eyes still remind me of
angels that hover above
eyes that can change from blind to blue

Now that I've found my reward
Throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mine with you

My Poor Brain
The Colour And The Shape

Real life is so hard
we hide in the stars
that's where our heads are
my head and your heart

This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I'm falling apart
lose all my sonar
you jam our radar

Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
between the handshake and the fuck

You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
my head and your heart
The same in the stars

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
OK

Wind Up
The Colour And The Shape

I have a choice between the bat and the belt
each time i hear about the hand you've been dealt
spare me confession it's confession you sell
maybe I'll fall behind but I don't mind
Because I'll catch up

Want a song thats indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the Back of the shelf
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
spare me the questions since you know me so well
some day you'll realise that I get shy and I choke up

What is wrong with this animal I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I've felt
I'll bite the bullet take the beating until
I take it all back anyway
What was I supposed to say?

Top


Up In Arms
The Colour And The Shape

The rain is here and you my dear
are still my friend
It's true the two of us are back
as one again

I was the one who left you
always coming back I could not forget you girl
now I am up in arms again

Together now I don't know how
this love could end
My lonely heart it falls apart
for you to mend

Top


My Hero
The Colour And The Shape

Too alarming now to talk about
take your pictures down and shake it out
truth or consequence say it aloud
use that evidence race it around

There goes my hero
watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
he's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero the one thats on

Top


See You
The Colour And The Shape

These notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
how good it is to see you

These steps i take don't get me anywhere
I'm getting further from myself
One thing is always true
How good it is to see you

I'm done resenting you
you represented me so well
and this I promise you
How could I end up in the hands of someone else?

Enough Space
The Colour And The Shape

I was waiting for something
maybe flying machines
that's when i found lily
best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
try to make her my own
people line up to see
but there never seems to be enough space

Top


February Stars
The Colour And The Shape

Hanging on
here until I'm gone
just hanging on

Even though
I watched you come and go
how was I to know
You'd steal the show

One day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call and bet it all

Hanging on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hanging on

Even though
I pass this time alone
somewhere so unknown
it heals the soul

You ask for walls I'll build them higher
we'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
and i fall

February Stars
floating in the dark
temporary scars
February Stars

Everlong
The Colour And The Shape

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
and out of the red out of her head she sang

Come down and waste away with me
down with me
Slow out you wanted it to be
over my head, out of my head she sang

and I wonder
when I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you've got to promise not to stop when I say when

Breathe out
so I can breathe you in
Hold you in

and now
I know you've always been
out of your head out of my head i sang

Top


Walking After You
The Colour And The Shape

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
dreaming aloud
things just won't do without you matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

If you'd accept surrender
give up some more
weren't you adored
I cannot be without you matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
Im walking after you
another heart is cracked in two
Im on your back

New Way Home
The Colour And The Shape

Have You found
Your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long so long

I'm still trying to keep this time from running out
head down always moving on and on and on

I never heard this warning
another early morning
takes me wakes me into

If you can manage me
I'll try to manage you
but lately that's all I ever do

I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared I pass the boats and the kingdome
I'm not scared

I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I know these things must bore you
but I can't find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I love this leash that holds me when i try to run away
