One Trip Love

When I first tasted you, I thought you were a dream
Felt as though nothing could ever make me feel so real
Beyond my wildest imagination, you filled that bitter void
I could never get enough of you, you made me feel so high

You are so strong, I am so weak
In front of you I drop and kneel
Now after so long, I surrender to you
It's not easy, but this time I'll come through

An emptiness I felt when you were not around
I let you rule supreme when I was content to be the clown
I let you into my life over and over again
But now I realise that things will never be the same

You are so strong, I am so weak
In front of you I drop and kneel
Now after so long, I surrender to you
It's not easy, but this time I'll come through

(Alternate Second Chorus)

Now I've never felt so strong
Strong enough to know that I was weak and you were wrong
I thought I'd win, I tried to conquer you
The war was in vain because deep down I never wanted too

Satisfaction

This rage inside me must be satisfied
This fear inside me is not justified
Let down your hair let me pull you closer
Down on your knees, mouth wide open

Break you down I will
Cos that's what you deserve
Tear you apart I will
Break you further

Your reasoning, frail, giving away
You will let me have my way tonight
This hot, hard truth you feel inside

Putting out the fire

Put my finger on the bottle
And the flame goes out
I wish it was that easy
I'd use that trick on you
Reeking of desperation
The TV stays off
This is not a drill
But is this for real?

Again

This is the path I choose again
I'm a glutton for punishment..
And as I move I recollect
All those times I won't forget
Where this is coming from
I love the thrill of a chase
But inevitably I end up short of breath
Chasing those coloured helium balloons around
Will be the death of me someday
But I'd do it again and again
Till it feels like I'll never be the same
And then I'll do it again

Round we go again
Spinning till everything looks the same
When it all ends, I will start over again..

Cos I believe that this insanity
Is what keeps me on my feet
And even though I'll end up on my knees
It's a feeling I can't ignore
But is this what you're looking for?
Is this what you want,
Not what you think you want
If it's not, then I'll move on..
And do it all over again

I know I'm not invincible
But I'm also not invisible

Straightjacket Thighs

There are holes where my eyes should be
But I still see what I shouldn't
These ears are closing in
But I still hear the echo
Controlling, binding, can't let go, can't break free
Searing, stabbing, arms are stretching out to choke you

Falling into a blank page
Invisible lines
Staring into murderous eyes
Straightjacket thighs

Sick caramel delight ruined me
My size 10 shoes, clean as ever
Walk away, your hair don't scare me
This frying pan of delight keeps waiting
My body's melting, drifting, dripping
Light never dims, night never turns

Untitled #57

When the home screen on your phone shows nothing but the time
You know it's time to put those bags away and live for another
It's just the way you made me
It's just the way I saw it
There's nothing wrong with giving me your kind

So why don't you come
And fuck my mind again?
Why don't you come
And drive me up the wall
Why don't you look at me
With dazed confusion in your eyes?
And say some other time

The light outside my window doesn't shine
All the hair you left on my pillow swept away
The music doesn't play quite the same
But I'm getting closer and you're getting older

Well you don't seem to want anything at all
So why don't you let me give you just that?

So why don't you come
And fuck my mind again?
Why don't you come
And drive me up the wall
Why don't you look at me
With dazed confusion in your eyes?
And say some other time

This one's about trying to let go.

Modern Machines

Come up for air but I still can't breathe
Strike me again, watch me fall
Something breaks with every second of silence
As I dig at the earth to cover my feet

Breaking these modern machines
Relentlessly, exhausting
Breaking these modern machines
Frantic, with precision..

This is what I asked for
But is this what you wanted?

Breaking these modern machines
Fighting, relentlessly, exhausting
Breaking these modern machines
Frantic, with precision..

They smile as they stick out their tongues
At me they won't stop feeding

Regress into what seems to fit, I find these useless contradictions
These colours they all seem the same in this comic scene
Sickening silence, while nothing will see this done
I'll fall until I accept it..

This song is about trying to break free into something new. And failing. And trying again.
