Lyrics

Here's a selection of lyrics. I'll update it periodically, as i figure out how to work the whole webpage thing better

CUTTER

I want to, slit my wrists
I want the, courage to press harder
instead i, live with the scars
i want to die.

chorus
nobody understands me
no-one is trying to help me
nobody loves me
i'd finish myself tonite
but i'm dead already, yeah

there's no, refuge for someone
like me, burning internally
i love the, pain that comes from
draggin a knife across my own skin

chorus

break

chorusX2

WHAT YOU WANT

you don't know what you're asking
when you say you want the best from me

cuz i'm not pretty
i'm not smart
i don't know how to win your heart

i'm too weak
i'm too thin
lying in a bathtub
full of sin

so i failed for the last time
i have no life, i have no spine

i can't fight
i lost the war
i can't get away
i fuckn hate you all

i live a lie
i live to die
i don't know much
about the other side

chorusy thingX2

so many like you around
build yourself up just to knock me down

disappointment once again
you expected more than i did

i can't feel
i'm always late
always lack
in the motivate

i can't smile
when i'm down
i can't lie
i sleep around

chorusy thingX2

JUS BECUZ I CAN

my face is so red
you won't have to look at me
again, it never ends
see what i can do for me
take my life
and put it in a box
above the shelf
pray for it wish it well

Chorus
it wants to fly by itself
while it can
i want to die
but i don't have strength to try again

insanity, is chasing me
stalkin me until i bend
give up the fight
ask for a light
paranoia sets in
as time goes by
my thoughts, they fly
i inhale jus becuz i can

chorus

break

my face is so red
you won't have to look at me
again, it never ends
see what i can do for me
take my life
and put it in a box
above the shelf
pray for it wish it well...

GOODBYE

we used to be the centre of everything
just you and me
you left that night you never said goodbye i
never thought you'd die

there was a time i never cried
i never felt this bad
you and me were sposed to be
best friends for life

chorus
when he asked if i knew you
i said i didnt want to know you
i wish i could tape record my dreams
believe in my beliefs again

so i know i wrong thats why it took so long
for me to come around
never said sorry you probly hated me
i let you down

chorusX2

you said one day we'd fly, you lied
you never ever said goodbye
you said one day we'd fly, you lied
you never ever said goodbye
to me...

we used to be the centre of everything
just you and me
you left that night you never said goodbye i
never thought you'd die...

SELF DEPRECIATION

sitting down watching you watching me
are you ashamed of me?
now you see
i am just like you
i am just like you

was it worth the blood i lost?
underneath it all i knew i took too much
and now i'm fading out
now i'm fading out

chorus
never learnt from my mistakes
living in a world that's full of FAKES
kept saying i'd be ok
i'll never be ok

never was strong like that
but i learnt how to mask it
it's easier than it seems
just inhale to enhance your dreams

chorusX2

HELLO DEATH

hello death
you look so good today
with your new shoes
your eyes sparkling like lemonade

hello death
i want you desperately
we were meant to be
we were meant to be

hello death
why didnt you return my calls?
i tried so hard you see
but you're not happy with me

hello death
can't we meet up sometime soon?
life is killing me
i need you urgently

chrous
against all my pain and my dismay
i saw you looking at me
against all my hurt and my shame
i knew you'd help me escape
knew you'd help me

hello death
i can't go on like this
i got a knife today
and held it to my wrist

hello death
why am i scared of pain?
need some help
to be bailed out again...

chorus
against the weakness of my name
i knew i'd runaway
against the non-existance of my grave
i knew i'd die someday
i wish it was today....

hello death
you look so good today
with your new shoes
your eyes sparkling like lemonade

hello death
i want you desperatly
we were meant to be
we were meant to be...

POP UP BOOK

never thought i'd lose you this quickly
but i blinked and you were gone
just like all the rest
in and out of my life just
like that pop up book my father used to read to me, when i was young

i never got a chance to tell you exactly how i felt
i was so sad at the time
couldnt get my thoughts together long enough to turn to words
it always happens like that

i never knew it hurt this much
to be treated like shit
cuz you treated me so good
and i ignored you
i never knew it hurt this much
to be knocked down
but the blood on my jeans says it all

looking back on my life
its not so bad, why do i cry?
i don't have the right, it's not my
turn to be so selfish
but i am anyway

and i never knew it hurt so bad
to be treated like shit
cuz you treated me so good
and i ignored you
and i never knew it felt this way
to love someone so much
and not to know it
i'm sorry

walking through the innocent
long since forgotten that pop up book that represented naivity
the blood says it all
the blood says it all...

MECHANISM (THIRD DEGREE OF NAIVITY)

(speaking) this is like angry acoustic song, without sounding angry

goodbye my sunshine, it's time for you to set, go down the road
smoking your paper cigarettes leaving me
here alone with my staple gun to my head

disagreement between me and the metaphors
i've made sound so tired
unoriginal at the best
and i am not like you
you're everything i wanted to be
but never could amount to
very much

when you stopped breathing
the first time i was scared
but now it's all routine
your act is wearing thin on
me, i'm not the same
posessed by feelings of newfound jealousy and hate
waiting for you to come around...

your mirror faces the wall
crying its reflective face out
i hope the tar causes cancer
cuz maybe then you will see what it's like to deal with reality
everyday, it's my life

and i am alone
no charity running after me
still thinking naivity
the world is a beautiful place
the world is a beautiful place
the world is a beautiful place
it would never hurt me

<
You're "You Know How I Do", you're always
tired, upset or lying and you won't take
anyone's crap.

Which taking back sunday song are you?
