Anyway, words to old songs you probably never heard.
Set The Fire
V1
Keeping me in check
Your word barely believable
But I don't dare
I don't dare to mention
I gave you a blank cheque
To wrap your head around my heart
So if you pull away
It might just kill me
C
Only for a short time
This fire burns so bright
After it goes out there'll be
Nothing to relight
My love could you please
Cut me some slack
I've been working towards nothing
Waiting for you to take me back
V2
Longer that i wait
The scene gets less believable
How can I stand to watch
This happen to me?
Still I stand and wait
But by now I should know that
You aren't coming out
To see me
V3
If I try to make amends
I'll only fuck it up again
Stretch myself too thin
Have I learnt nothing?
And as the flames die out
We'll have something to talk about
And go our separate ways
At least that's something
_______
Slow Poet
V1
Don't ask me
That question
It's almost the same as before
Please tell me
Your secrets
'Cause you almost have all of mine
Well I never we're not together
And I don't like it, I've tried to hide it
I broke my promise, I broke our hearts
Then the tears start
C
It seems like I could walk away
Still can't say if I can change
And now I know what I want to say
But you're too far away
I'd be recalled if I had a maker
I wish I could see you later
And now I know just what to say
But you're too far away
V2
You made clear
Your feelings
But actions scream over the words
And I know
I've fucked it
'Cause I was just well out of line
In this chaos and confusion
I've found out what this really means
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
_______
Worst Case Scenario aka Infinity and Beyond
A sigh
From the heaviest of hearts
Perhaps not the greatest of starts
Forever calling your name
And I try
To make sense of these parts
Why is this always so hard
I've listened to your words
With the world by your side
You open up your eyes
And why should I try
To make sense
I'm sure you'll come around but I already know
What you're going to say
Tell me to sort my life out even though yours is
Going the same way
Is that back around
Or straight down?
With the world by your side
You open up your eyes
And why should I try
To make sense
Maybe
If you didn't act that way
Then maybe
They won't treat you that way
The first time is once more than never
That's too many times for us to remember
We try to take and take an equal part
But that's where all the trouble starts
Too much implied
In the space between your lines
I'm screaming out your name
With the world by your side
You open up your eyes
And why should I try
To make sense
Is this the worst case scenario?
Is this the worst you've even known?
Is this the worst case scenario?
I don't think I know.

Shaolin Soccer
Break
Down
All of this
Tear
Down
This edifice
Work
Out
All the ways
You
Find
Yourself again
You keep
Your phone on
You sleep
With one eye open
Watch a world go by
That never could be yours
Lay awake at night
Blaming others
Starve
Yourself
Of oxygen
Keep
Yourself
Alive somehow
Last
Time
You realise
First
Time
You've wondered why
_______
Lohan
Is this a new beginning
Or just a new false ending
I'm tired of being this way
If only one girl could say
"Come with me
and take my hand
'cause this will all be yours"
So what
We broke up again
but we'll make up again
So what
You changed your mind again
I want this time again
What's said behind closed doors
Should not go any further
These guarantees don't exist
We always took that risk
Is this the only way?
Keep This all so strained
Damaged beyond repair
But deeper hooks refuse to tear
Lying to ourselves
That this will be ok
Pull yourself out of the wreckage
And crawl away
_______
Hydro Active
You let me in to your house
Spoke to me and then you disappeared
So I make some tea for us both
Now yours is cold
And you come back
But you couldn’t find it anywhere
But you couldn’t find it anywhere
What it was you don’t share
So you asked me to look
And I still don’t know what for
But you said I’d know
If I ever saw it
But I couldn’t find it anywhere
But I couldn’t find it anywhere
What it was you don’t share
So it it hydro active
Or just some kind of metaphor
Don’t know what you mean
Don’t know what you want it for
And if I walk out now
I’ll never know the score
And if I stick around
I might know what I’m waiting for
_______
Monkey’s Reason
Now you’ve given back the keys
Could you get out of my shed
Couldn’t you do this earlier
A monkey’s reason is his own
Impermanence
Infinity
Irrelevance
What you say
What you mean
What you are
Give the the lyrics to your song
And I’ll try to sing along
Give me a theory to explain
And I’ll spell it out again
Ask me to play a minor chord
And I’ll know you’re getting bored
_______
Bad Intentions
I can’t see through all the lies
But I know the only thing you want is what you despise
I’ve been told a thousand times
But nothing adds up but the meaningless shit you all spout
I’ve tried to get along without those tricks
The depths that some will sink to just for cheap thrills
I’ve seen the aftermath of misjudged actions
But all the help I give is thrown back in my face
I suppose you think I’m fine
I take the knocks but I’m too easily damaged
I’m glad I’m not like them but it’s so hard
To know that bad intentions always work best
Give me my dignity
Give me the truth
Doesn’t that word mean anything anymore?
Give me a moment of your precious time
Or else there’ll be no one left to turn to
When it all goes wrong for you
I need my friends more than they’ll ever know
A few kind words make all the difference to me
My empathy has only made things worse
It makes me wonder why I even try at all
_______
Nuisance Grounds aka Floors and Sofas akaSurprise Surprise
Out come old notes
Filled with numbers
Old solutions
Ways to help me fill life up
It’s a waking
nightmare
Saving for evacuation
From daily interrogation
Cover ups
Pale white lies
It’s none of your fucking business
I’m the one who has to live this
_______
October Crisis
V1
I know that smell
It’s your Chanel
Drifting across my nose
But it’s not you
It’s not you
Outside this place
I thought I saw your face
Again
But those clothes aren’t yours
My eyes fall to the floor
Fall to the floor
C
I know you’ll understand
If I fall at your feet
I’ll think back to last October
And smile at your memory
V2
With that I could be there
To smell your hair
But I know that it’s too much to ask
To have you here
I can’t help but miss
Your voice and your words
And my eyes still get caught
By those who steal your style
But they don’t have your smile
V3
So I bring this to an end
About time too
And I’ll stop living in the past
And just move on
Only in the month that hurts
We must hold on
Only in the month that hurts
It’s too fucking cold
_______
(a completely different song called) October Crisis
Cat bring myself to say
This to you
Or about you
‘Cause love gets in the way
Of logic
And reason
Why waste my time pretending
That this should never end
Waste my time defending actions
I can not amend
And hold on to the hope
That I know will fade
And wilt
And die
Another October crisis
Where I lose my way
Always an October crisis
Because misery is cyclical
Only
In
The
Month
That
Hurts
Can
I
Be-
Come
So
Small
_______
Burning Fuses
In your eyes
Burning fuses
Glowing
Smouldering like the wreckage
It rages inside you
Intense and pure
Intense and pure
These burning fuses
That tell their own tales
Must be something that I said
A simple language
That no one can speak
And never can be read
And what if I
We’re to walk right out tonight
Would you mind
Or would it be the final time?
It never made sense anyway
It never made sense anyway
How can I make it up to you
When you won’t answer
Why should I make it up to you
When I can’t see where it went wrong
A fire inside
That nothing can quell
Pour on more alcohol
But when you want this
It just takes one kiss
And I’ll sing along
And this is why
We will never get it right
And maybe I
Could get that one last kiss tonight
Like something from a movie
Like something from a film
It don’t make sense
But then what fucking does
This time I won’t be so scared
This time I’m the most prepared
But it’s too late
It’s too late
