I awoke with a start today determination set
Filled with expectation
Sacks of soul to collect

But I am so fearful of the future
Ignorant of the present
And wary of the past

And through the door I shuffle quietly down the hall
Identical corridors and artificial lights
The man in the box born to set my world to rights
Effortlessly soon ignites the screaming in my head
Reborn the catalyst will blow my joy away
Bet you thought that I'd have so much more to say

Come save me now

But I am so fearful of the future
Ignorant of the present
And wary of the past
And I don't want to
But it's now a case of have to
I piss away for pittance
And suck up to the man

No wonder I'm dying when I awoke with a start today

Disconnect, an impossible divorce that put the life into you
That's too late to abort
I never gave you the time that you deserved
I never gave you even half of what you're worth

My beautiful son, can you feel it inside you?
My son, could you beat me black and blue
For all the doubt and apathy?
Just trying to keep your feet on the floor
Just trying to put the fear into you
Just trying to board up all the doors
And I can't tell anymore

And maybe you'll realise when you take those little tests
The more you breathe, the more you age, you know yourself even less

Nobody ever said they'd love you forever
They grow you up and let you down
And separate forever

One day all this could be yours

Billy's worries take control
All at once needing seething teething take one more
He is growing

And we were searching for a truth that was there all along
All those knowing little seeds would be the words to this song
That righteous indignation dollar turning you on
Turn off the television turn off the television

All at once needing seething teething take one more
He is growing as god looks on
He is growing god looks on god looks on

What a way to go
I'm still running for that bus that we missed years ago
A perfect antidote more connections made it's inevitable
That he was reaching out to touch me he was reaching out to touch me he was
He was reaching out to touch me he was reaching out to touch me he was reaching out
He's not joking joking joking

Indelible an ever-changing colour
You winner man he's invincible
And screaming at the world that you're wrong you're so wrong
And I was reaching out to touch him I was reaching out to touch him
I was I was reaching out to touch him I was reaching out to touch him I was
I'm not joking joking joking

Is this not what you expected?

Comfort driving overburdened
She's still striving to hold together
And motivate and de-pressurize

Compelled to run
Foot to the floor
In all of my memories
You were always running away

So cold and proud, so unashamed
You were always running away

Just inches from dripfeeding, "don't you worry
I don't have it in me to ever leave you"

Takes this and swallow it down whole
And stop this heady mumbling and talk right
You're always saying "save me I'm a danger to myself"

Who's driving us through this you deserve better
Drinking becoming someone else someone who's all will come to naught and vanish
You're not trying
Can't save you, you're a danger to yourself

Like you care you just wish for an exit
Perfectionist you falter
All guts no mind to alter

Get up and make it work

We'll search the sky for answers

Nearly man encroaching on my right of way
And branding the battle scars of daddies latest lesson
Little time for intuition
Little time for crybabies
Come on son could you not take a joke?
More sticks n' stones to break you

It's freezing in here
Can't even dress myself
Lie awake still waiting on your

Single bite of cherry for you
Hold it in you arms
Don't jeopardize what little you have
See any further than you're own four walls
And yours is not to question

And down the road a shining haven
Rats thieves infant mothers live around the corner from themselves
You'll never break that chain, will you?
Question at all, clutch your pride and rot here forever
This all will run and run no hope left for you to nurture

Ma just wrote the ending years ago
Way down the line
Don't you run too far away from home
Don't you trust what you have never known
Don't go far, remember where you are

A single bite of cherry for you

This king of overstatement now would like to whisper
Sweet something in your ear all day from now til then
I can't swim for irons on my tail they want an answer
Hip hip hooray we lose again dear god you can suit yourself

You could be an amputee
There's gotta be something better than...

We stink of understatement we're so over-friendly
More people to latch onto more ears to bend
I swam the long route home and I've got broken shoulders

Hip hip hooray we lose again dear god how do you forgive yourself?

You could be an amputee
It wouldn't matter all that much
It wouldn't mean a thing to me
So answer me, do you believe it's true?
There's gotta be something better than...

So don't listen to them
Listen to yourself
We are addicted to ourselves
We leave room for no-one else

So answer me, do you believe it's true?
There's gotta be something better than...

Keep pushing back and we'll come up roses
We're not the same even though we share a name
So keep pushing back and you'll come up roses

I've heard it all before
Seen it all before
Played this scene before...

But it's nothing to you

Sarah's killer
Lifus exitus

Don't dare
Kill her
It's on me
It's on you

So don't you
Believe
Women
Who love
Men who
Love drugs
Drugs

Unfortunate positions that I have held
They pale into insignificance now that I have experienced
A saturday that's cold and black is not the same

All for black rings around the eyes
All with black rings around the eyes

And oh how we long to be elsewhere and start again
And leave behind all I despise

All the way on saturday

You think you cut me down to size,
But who the fuck are you to criticize?
I'll set a date to get away, start again

But I am not one for long goodbyes

All the way on saturday

These are the secrets you will share
These are the words you cannot bare
This is the side you'll never see
Now that you have forgotten me

The voice that tempted you away
The deepest hole in which I'll stay
"I miss you most my darkest star"
I wonder where the hell you are

Too late to tell that you were wrong
Another word to dwell upon
You could have waited for me
Like I was waiting just for you

The fuse that's flickering inside
Threatens to blow me open wide
I could've run a million times
But I was waiting for you

Did you ever stop to think
About how low that you could sink
Down below and deep inside
Within yourself you cannot hide

Do photographs and faces lie?
Why did I never wonder why?
Why I was waiting for you?
Why I was waiting for you?

Ages come and go...
But I'm still here
