Ask For Answers

Time to pass you to the test. Hanging on my lover's breath.
Always coming second best. Pictures of my lover's chest.
Get through this night, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
Always falling to the floor, softer than it was before.
Dog boy - media whore, it's who the hell you take me for.
Give up this fight, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
These bonds are shackle free, wrapped in lust and lunacy.
Tiny touch of jealousy, these bonds are shackle free.
Get through this night, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
Get through this, there are no second chances.
This time. To ask the sea for answers.

Because I Want You

Fall into you, is all I seem to do..
When i hit the bottle, coz I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two, is all it seems to do..

As the anger fades, this house is no longer a home,
Don't give up on the dream, don't give up on the wanting, and everything that's true.
Don't give up on the dream, don't give up on the wanting..

Because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you,
because I want you.

Stumble into you, is all i ever do..
My memory's hazy..and I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two, is all it's gonna do..

As the headache fades, this house is no longer a home,
don't give up on the dream, don't give up, ont he wanting,
and everythign that's true.

Because I want you too,
because I want you too,

Bigmouth Strikes Again

Sweetness

I'd like to smash every tooth in your head.
Oh sweetness

by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.

And now I know how joan of arc felt
now I know how joan of arc felt
as the flames rose to her roman nose
and her discman started to melt

Bigmouth la da dum da da
bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again
and I've got no right to take my place
in the human race
Oh

Black Eyed

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home (Broken home)
Black-eyed (repeat)
I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home (Broken home)
Black-eyed (repeat)

Black Market Blood

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

There's a place within her mind
With rains already falling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She's preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She's preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood
Black market blood

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She's insane, this friend of mine
And she's always bawling
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She's preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She's preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood
Black market blood
Black market blood
Black market blood

Blind

if i could tear you from the ceiling,
and guarantee a source divine,
rid you of possessions fleeting,
remain your funny valentine.

don't go and leave me,
and please don't drive me blind,
don't go and leave me,
and please don't drive me blind.

if i could tear you from the ceiling,
i know best have tried,
i'd fill your every breath with meaning,
and find a place we both could hide.

don't go and leave me,
and please don't drive me blind,
don't go and leave me,
and please don't drive me blind.
you don't believe me
but you do this every time,
please don't drive me blind,
please don't drive me blind.

i know you're broken[ x3]

if i could tear you from the ceiling,
i'd freeze us both in time,
and find a brand new way of seeing,
your eyes forever glued to mine.

don't go and leave me,
and please don't drive me blind,
don't go and leave me,
and please don't drive me blind.

and please don't drive me blind. [x4]

Blue American

I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious but it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
That's why it's vulgar
That's why it's blue
And I say, thank you
And I say, thank you
I wrote this novel just for Mom
For all the mommy things she's done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the time she sang god's song
And I say thank you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you Mom
Hi Mom
I read a book about Uncle Tom
Where a whitey bastard made a bomb
But now Ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong
And I ask
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
You are
I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf
But I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care for myself
I don't care
I wrote this novel just for you
I'm so pretentious, yes it's true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you

Breathe Underwater

here comes another fall from grace,
i'm always falling on my face.
this attitude that i embrace,
with a love i'm trying to replace.
try to kill this song,
'cause the melody's all wrong.
and there's a beaver, comin' on.

it's hard to reconcile,
what i've become.
with the wounded ch-i-ld,
hiding deep ins-i-yide.

breathe underwater,
i'm comin' up for air!
i wanna see another dawn,
comin' up for air!
s-i-ck of the slaughter,
i'm comin' up for air!
'cause i've floating here too long.

take my ego for a ride,
'cause there's nobody by my side.
it's getting hard to justify.
and it won't be long 'til i collide.
my weakness laid bare,
as people stop and stare.
but it's the last time, i swear.

it's hard to reconcile,
what i've become.
with the wounded ch-i-ld,
hiding deep ins-i-yide.

breathe underwater,
i'm comin' up for air!
i wanna see another dawn,
comin' up for air!
s-i-ck of the slaughter,
i'm comin' up for air!
'cause i've floating here too long.

stop breathing...
stop breathing...
stop breathing...
stop breath-ing!

breathe underwater,
i'm comin' up for air!
i wanna see another dawn,
comin' up for air!
s-i-ck of the slaughter,
i'm comin' up for air!
'cause i've floating here too long.

i'm coming, i'm coming...
i'm coming, ' coming...
comin' up for air...
comin' up for air!

Bright Lights

Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK.
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'.
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed.
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of livin'.

So I haven't given up,
That all my choices, my good luck...
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison.
Now I am tryin' to break free,
In a state of empathy.
Find the true and enemy,
Eradicate this prison.

No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart.
'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart.
Maybe ' an elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that... works.

Broken Promise

They rise above this,
They cry about this,
As we live and learn..

A broken promise,
I was not honest,
Now I watch as tables turn,
And you're singing -

I'll wait my turn,
To tear inside you,
Watch you burn,
I'll wait my turn,
I'll wait my turn.

I'll cry about this,
And hide my cuckled eyes,
As you come off all concerned,
And I'll find no solace,
In your poor apology,
In your regret that sounds absurd,
And keep singing -

I'll wait my turn,
To tear inside you,
Watch you burn..
And I'll wait my turn,
To terrorize you,
Watch you burn..
And I'll wait my turn,
I'll wait my turn.

And this is a promise -
Promise is a promise,
Promise is a promise,
Promise is a promise.

And I'll wait my turn,
To tear inside you,
Watch you burn,
I'll wait my turn,
I'll wait my turn.

A broken promise,
You were not honest!
I'll bite my time
I'll wait my, turn.

Bruise Pristine

The means are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.

Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.

Cast a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book, in the hands of love
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.

Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.

Centrefolds

Come on Balthazaa I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star I refuse to let you die
Cos that's wrong and I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong I've been waiting far too long
For you to be..be me..be..be mine
For you to be mine..be mine..for you to be mine
And it's wrong, I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong, I've been waiting far too long
For you to be..be me..be

All the centrefolds that you can't afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centrefolds that you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes
So be..be mine [x2]

Come Home

Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated.
Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated.
Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to.
Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.
Come home, come home, come home, come home.
Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane.
Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain.
Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away.
Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday.
Come home, come home, come home, come home,
come home, come home, come home, come home.
Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it
Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it.
Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too.
Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.
Come home, come home, come home, come home,
come home, come home, come home, come home.

Come Undone

you don't know how you're coming across
you don't know what you're coming across
you don't know who you're coming across
you don't know how you're coming across
so you come undone

you don't know how you're coming across
acting like you don't give a toss
walking around like you're on some kind of cross
and it's a shame on you, the irony's lost
when you come undone
you come undone
you know you come undone
you know, you know, you know

you don't know how you're coming across
you don't know how you're coming across
and I don't think that you're aware of the cost

so you come undone
you come
you come undone
you know, you know, you know

Commercial for Levi

You're the one who's always choking Trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Sleep may be the enemy
But so's another line
It's a remedy
You should take more time
You're the one who's always choking trojan
You're the one who's showers always golden
Spunk & bestiality well it's an Assisi lie
It's ahead of me
You should close your fly
I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die
You're the one who's always choking trojan
You're the one who's always bruised and broken
Drunk on immorality
Valium and cherry wine
Coke and ecstasy
You're gonna blow your mind
I understand the fascination
I've even been there once or twice or more
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die x 4
