Through A Heavy Head 05:24
lyrics
THROUGH A HEAVY HEAD Problems of this kind, don’t disappear on their own. I’ve been keeping things inside alone— right when I want to get closer, you scoot over. leaving me emptier than I ever felt before Things don’t turn out, just how I want them to That’s life’s way, what can you do… If the moment is right, I’ll find you Maybe, you will recognize me, as someone you once knew, but all the things I never said are floating through my heavy head, you know I won’t sleep tonight. I’ll wake up in the morning light, with a ringing in my ear the teasing of my youthful years ‘you’re different, we don’t like you, you’re a joke to us’ it wasn’t worth a fuss wasn’t worth a fuss no no no, things don’t ever quite turn out just just how I want them to it’s okay, there’s nothing I can do but please don’t leave me, waiting on a word form you sorry I placed my fears on you, no I know, I’m not that good But all the things that we did… I’m sorry girl, I should’ve said, no I’m different, you won’t like me, if you can catch your breath I’m not worth the fuss no, I’m not worth a fuss you know I won’t sleep tonight but if I’m honest it will be alright if I’m honest it will be alright

Empty Space 05:23
lyrics
EMPTY SPACE Using me. Sometimes it seems like I’m not even there soiled so sore, because my heart isn’t in it anymore. Stay far removed, is that maturity or cowardice… Things fall to pieces, re-assembled they’re still incomplete. Eyes are unfaithful, our mind’s hold betrayal. All our friends kept passing by didn’t bother to say hello, late at night I realized, together we were alone Hold it in, grow discon(nect)tent, I know that I should try but I feel so spent, let me go go away I’ll keep running looking for something if life sets in and I’m not satisfied I’ll never be, never be Tired eyes aimless nights, surrender to sleeping It hurts sometimes remembering. Forget move on, there is no problem, it’s over now. just turn around I’m turned around I didn’t want to disappoint I don’t want to hurt anyone All roads are dead ends ‘no, she was just a friend’ What do I get? What do I get? A morsel of regret, some friends upset Said I would wait outside Standing on a pile of lies This is gonna fall apart, This is gonna fall apart I’ve been around, around, around I’ve felt this all before I’ve seen you once or twice, I’ve been here once or twice I’ve done this once or twice …but it never felt so nice All the love that you save One day will go, and go to waste. To save myself from any pain I tried to live inside an empty space. All that time kept passing by, Didn’t bother to make a move Late at night I realized, there was nothing we could prove

Sunken City 04:14
lyrics
SUNKEN CITY Can I change your mind? Wont you stay true? No not this time, this time we’re through don’t you, you don’t love me anymore spinning treading pleading begging in the same sunken city we kept it, going far too often, not listening, we kept off talking, you don’t excite me same old parties same old grieving used thoughts and bodies the bored resort to trading on and on on(ennui)we. go. on. surprise, surprise swallow close your eyes Oh, that look I want to On your face said please we kept it, going far too often now you feel pain, and you blame yourself

It Was The Drugs I Took 03:16
lyrics
IT WAS THE DRUGS I TOOK It was the drugs I took It was the way she looked It was the urge in my veins, seeping blood from my brain It was a course of fate, choosing each step we take It was the drugs I took, the drugs I took the drugs ‘I bet you never felt so bad’ bet you never felt so bad I bet you never felt so good bet it never felt so good Groping blindly on the floor, we got dirty on our knees, oh baby please I used my hands for eyes, to squeeze some sort of prize from you ‘til the hours they turned so cold, we shriveled in metal coils, oh it was the drugs I took the drugs I took the drugs ‘you are inadequate’ it was a disappointment, it was in out and quit you are a disappointment When we go our separate ways you won’t see me later when we go our separate ways please don’t use my number when we go our separate way you won’t see me later when we go our separate ways please, we are just strangers.

Don't Let Me Go 03:21
lyrics
DON’T LET ME GO I came in this morning, and you walked through the door I’ve been wondering, who it is that’s come before when we break up, promise me this when we break up promise me this you wont forget me you wont forget me wont forget me (oh it’s not so bad) wont forget me (all those times we had) You said you’d never felt this way before I know it doesn’t help, that I still live next door But oh, you know it’s not so bad (don’t forget me) All those times we had (don’t forget me) …don’t let me go, don’t let me go Don’t let me go (she pleads) don’t let me go Don’t let me go (she pleads) don’t let me go let me go
let me go let me

All The Girls In This Town 04:14
lyrics
ALL THE GIRLS IN THIS TOWN Some love but don’t affect me Some think they have to inspect me Some let you down directly, others aren’t so kind All the girls in this town, can’t find one I want to pin down Some want to take my time Some want to change my mind Some just want to be desired, others aren’t so petty All the girls in this town can’t find one I wanna to pin down Some want me to buy them things Some think highly of dress and rings Some don’t care for conversing, others aren’t so empty all the girls in this town can’t find one I wanna pin down But there was one I did adore, a way I never had before, like being sick without a cure, others don’t disappear All the girls in this town, Sometimes, just want to pin one down

Your Scent 05:07
lyrics
YOUR SCENT no, we never had a chance know, but have a burning hope , and in my dreams we don’t speak in my dreams i don’t sleep its easier, now we know its easier, to let it go in my dreams, not a word is spoken in my dreams, i took and left you broken but your scent perfumes all my old clothes, trapped in this room, and through my nose i breathe to feel so full of you i hold my throat and curse my luck take one, take two, just don’t throw up why don’t you save me some trouble, why don’t you save us some trouble, and just disappear…

My Lover Speaks Another Language 03:08
lyrics
MY LOVER SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE …say you’re a-okay a-okay thumbs up into through I heard I’m bored. Use me. Death is translation My lover speaks another language, If she were here right next to me I’d follow her oh endlessly just like you said, just like you said the less you care the less you care the less dead weight that you carry the less dead weight that you carry So what does that make me. What does that make me. Drive without destination My lover speaks another language, If she were here right next to me I’d follow her oh endlessly If she were here right next to me I’d follow her oh endlessly

Holy And Powerless 06:42
lyrics
HOLY AND POWERLESS please dont call please dont hug, or kiss me once again separate the bond was a disconnect but I will still love you and fear and look out for you don’t have to worry I wont make myself sorry keep your concern for me chop it to pieces purge it in furnaces where a dark-eyed angel had her body buried please dont please dont please dont please don’t hug me touch me kiss me love me bring me a blanket comfort me cozily lay here quiet close to me the smell of your skin wrapped the insides of me the feel of your flesh was a fertile dark fairground where the lights were first blinding I looked up in wonder at some one day mother who’d pass on our problems the sins of our fathers life moves in circles like the way I kept spinning felt dizzy sweet sickly just at the touch of you stripped of our clothes we would suppose we could feel close but after and vulnerable we were just animals dirty or clean we would press to our pulsing blood would start flowing like milky white honey falling off flowers we felt holy and powerless please dont please don’t please dont please don’t hug me touch me kiss me love me it wont make it any easier it wont make it any easier
