City

Had a dream
Had a drowning dream I was in a river of pain

Only difference this time
I wasn't calling out your name
Has it ended before it's begun
You hold on
And I try to run but


Anybody heading in my direction
Away from the city
Anybody wanna change the way they feel
Step inside
Doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
Away from the city
I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again

Funny how those friends forget you
When you're tired of their games
You miss a show or a party that blows
And they've forgotten your name
And you wonder what you've become
They pull you back when you try to run


Well anybody heading in my direction
Away from the city
Anybody wanna change the way they feel
Step inside
Doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
Away from the city
I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again


I left the me I used to be
I wanna see this through
I left the me I used to be
If only you'd see it too
Well I wonder what you've become
You pull me back when I try to run


Well anybody heading in my direction
Away from the city
Anybody wanna change the way they feel
Step inside
Doesn't really matter where you wanna take me
Away from the city
I wanna start again
I wanna start again
I wanna take it back
I wanna start again


Leave Me Alone

I ask you to hold me
But you don't wanna hold me
It don't work like that
I want you to love me
But you don't wanna love me
I'm losing patience now


Oh leave me alone
Stop asking for more
I'm going home on my own
Oh leave me alone
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone


You like me to stroke you
Careful I don't choke you
Did you read my mind
You say don't be blue
Is that the best you can do
I've lost my patience now

Oh leave me alone
Stop asking for more
I'm going home on my own
Oh leave me alone
I'm walking out of the door
I'll make it on my own
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Just leave me alone


One More Addiction

First the good news
It's gonna feel very nice
Then the bad news
You gotta pay a heavy price
Rip tide
We slide
We ride on a deep forbidden sea

Under we go so slow
And you're hanging onto me
And I say

Oh one more addiction in my world
Oh one more connection to let go

Oh floating down the river
Out of sight forever
From my world
It's the only thing I know how to do

I reject you
But I can't follow through
I'd forget you
But you'd end up tapping on my back door
Somehow I lost myself
In a tunnel long and black
Somewhere
At the end
I pretend
There's a way of turning back


Oh one more addiction in my world
Oh one more connection to let go

Oh floating down the river
Out of sight forever
From my world
It's the only thing I know how to do

Take a breath
Let it out
All the things you frown about
Are meaningless
Of course unless
You're doing this for real I guess
I meant to but
I don't know what
Is in the way and could I say
It's you in bet
I won't forget
Maybe I'm not ready yet


Oh one more addiction in my world
Oh one more connection to let go

Oh floating down the river
Out of sight forever
From my world
It's the only thing I know how to do


Smoke

My lullaby
Hung out to dry
What's up with that
It's over

Where are you dad
Mum's looking sad
What's up with that
It's dark in here

Why - bleeding is breathing
You're hiding
Underneath the smoke in the room
Try - bleeding is believing
I used to

My mouth is dry
Forgot how to cry
What's up with that
You're hurting me

I'm running fast
Can't hide the past
What's up with that
You're pushing me

Why - bleeding is breathing
You're hiding
Underneath the smoke in the room
Try - bleeding is believing
I used to
I used to

Why - bleeding is breathing
You're hiding
Underneath the smoke in the room
Try - bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling on the floor

Why - bleeding is believing
You're hiding
Underneath the smoke in the room
Try - bleeding is believing
I saw you crawling to the door

Why - bleeding is believing
You're hiding
Underneath the smoke in the room
Try - bleeding is believing
I saw you falling on the floor


Torn

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry

Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Or seem to care what your heart is for

I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's whats going on
Nothing's fine
I'm torn


I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn


So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
I don't care
I have no luck

I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
I'm torn


I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn


There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right
I'm torn


I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
