YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME WE'LL END UP
COLD AND EMPTY VOID OF LOVE
WE HAVE TO BREAK THE PLANS THAT WE MADE
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE WE WON'T GIVE UP
THE LIFE WE MADE DEAD TO THE TOUCH
WE HAVE TO REPLACE
LESSONS FOR MISTAKES
I HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS WE SHOULD BE HAPPIER THAN THIS
THERE COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE MISSED
WE'LL NEVER KNOW UNLESS WE TRY
WHITE LIES HAVE BLACKENED OUR INSIDES
WE STILL RELY SO HEAVILY ON ALCOHOL AND EMPATHY AND MORE
WHITE LIES THAT BLACKEN OUR INSIDES
PUT CONTINENTS BETWEEN US
FRIENDS STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE SAID GOODBYE
THE PICTURES WE PAINT ARE NEVER ENOUGH
BENEATH THE SURFACE CRACKED AND ROUGH
WE'RE PLAYING THE GAMES
WE SAID WE WON'T PLAY
WE'RE SWALLOWING SPOILED VERSIONS OF LOVE
ACCEPT THE TAINTED VERSIONS OF
PLANS THAT WE MADE
THE PLANS THAT WE MAKE

YOU DON’T VALUE YOURSELF LIKE YOU SHOULD
A BIT OF CONFIDENCE FIRST AND YOU COULD
TURN THIS AROUND- SOMETHIMES IT HAS TO BE NOW
AH AH WON’T YOU
YOU’VE BECOME AFRAID OF SPILLING BLOOD
TO THE POIINT YOU WON’T LOOK UP
WHEN YOU HEAR A SOUND ON UNFAMILIAR GROUND
AH AH WONT YOU
YOUR NERVOUS ENERGY
COULD POWER CITY LIGHTS FOR WEEKS
BUT OH YOU CHANNEL IT STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND
CHANNEL IT STRAIGHT TO
CHANNEL IT STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND
STRAIGHT TO YOUR FEET
YOU DON’T KNOW YOURSELF LIKE YOU COULD
OR HOLD YOURSELF LIKE YOU WOULD
UNTILL YOU GO WITHOUT
THE CHEMICALS NOW- AH AH WON’T YOU
WITH MORE CONFIDENCE THAT BLOOD
SHES LOOKING OUT FOR LOVE
& WHEN IT’S NOT FOUND SHELL CLIMB THE WALLS TO GET OUT
BELIEVE ME- IT’S TRUE

You Are Spite

SHOW ME SOME COLOUR, SHOW ME SOME LIFE
SHOW ME ANYTHING THAT YOU LIKE
‘CAUSE IVE SEEN NO COLOUR IVE SEEN NO LIFE
ONLY YOUR SPITE
YOU SEE IN BLACK- YOU SEE IN WHITE
YOU LOOK UGGLY IN THIS LIGHT
IVE SEEN NO COLOUR IVE SEEN NO LIFE
ONLY YOUR SPITE
IF THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN HAVE IT
WIRE FENCES, WALLS AND TURRETS
YOURE FRAMING DISASTER, YOURE SHINING A LIGHT
ON A SICK AND AIMLESS FIGHT
YOURE TRAINING DISASTER, YOURE SHINING A LIGHT
OH, YOU’RE SPITE
TELL ME IT’S BLACK, TELL ME IT’S WHITE
TELL ME ANYTHING THAT YOU LIKE
ITS NEVER BLACK, IT’S NEVER WHITE
ONLY YOUR SPITE
IF THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN HAVE IT
WIRE FENCES, WALLS AND TURRETS
IT’S LONELY ENOUGH- OH I WOULD SAY FOR YOU
TO CUT OUR NUMBERS
IT’S LONELY ENOUGH- OH I WOULD SAY FOR YOU
TO SINK THE BRIDGES

Habits & Quotes

I'VE BEEN LOST FOR JUST AS LONG AS I KNOW
ALWAYS QUESTIONING MYSELF
YOU’VE BEEN LOST SIR NO YOU’VE NEVER BEEN CLOSE
IT'S YOU I FOLLOWED
I SOMETIMES SPEAK LIKE I AM SOMEBODY ELSE
I PICK UP HABITS AND PHRASES AND QUOTES
& THEN FEEL STUPID WITH THE PEOPLE I KNOW
OH I PANIC THAT PEOPLE WILL WATCH ME IMPLODE
A LACK OF ELLEGANCE
ABOUT ME NOW, UILL LET YOU DOWN GENTLY WITH A
VOID OF CONFIDENCE
ABOUT ME NOW, ABOUT ME NOW…
FORCE OF HABIT, YEAH HAD ME BY THE THROAT
AND THOSE SAME HABITS SAID THEY WOULDN’T LET GO
LACK OF EGO A STRONG SENSE OF HOPE
IS KILLING CHARACTER TRAITS OF MY OWN
I SOMETIMES REPEAT LIKE I AM SOMEBODY ELSE
I PICK UP HABITS AND PHRASES AND QUOTES
& THEN FEEL STUPID WITH THE PEOPLE I KNOW
I NEED TO LET GO. I NEED TO LET GO

WITH ALL THE CAUSE TO BE LOST & NO FEET ON THE GROUND
NO SEARCH TO CALL OFF, NO HOPE TO BE FOUND
SURPRISES ARE FEW- YOURE A LOST AFTERNOON
A RUNNAWAY TRAIN- YOU’LL LEAVE THE TRACKS SOON
GOD ONLY KNOWS YOUR CINNAMON COATED CHILDHOOD DIDN’T LAST
GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT CINNOMON COAT YOUR CHILDHOOD EVER HAD
YOU ARE A SEED & YOU NEVER FELL
FALL ENOUGH FROM THE TREE- IT SHADED YOU WELL
FROM SUNLIGHT, YOU NEVER COULD NEVER COULD TELL
HELD YOU CLOSE BUT NEVER WISHED YOU WELL
YOU WERE TAUGHT FROM THE OFF TO STAND YOUR GROUND
“THEY’LL BE OUT FOR YOUR BLOOD THE MINUTE YOU LEAVE THIS HOUSE”
THEIR EYES WILL TURN BLUE FOR QUESTIONING YOU
& YOURS WILL TOO- YOULL SEE SOON

BENJAMIN AND I, WE STARTED A WAR
WE COLOURED IN THE WINDOWS, WE WERE YOUNG & WE WERE BORED
AND HONESTLY I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE WE KNEW
THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEEN ENOUGH OF US TWO
WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THEM ALONE BUT OH WE’D GROWN TIRED
TIRED OF LISTENING, NOW WE WERE STARTING FIRES
THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT US ALONE
BUT OH WE WERE BOTH INSPIRED
& READY TO FOLLOW OUR REGRETABEL DESIRES
KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN- THEY HAVENT SEEN US BY NOW
HEARTS RACING- AS WE WERE HIDING OUT
KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN- THEY HAVENT HEARD US BY NOW
WERE ESCAPING- BEFORE WE GET FOUND
WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THEM ALONE I KNOW AS WELL AS YOU
BUT WHAT WE WOULD DO - WOULD SURELY PROVE
THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT US ALONE BUT TANGLED WITH OUR YOUTH
AHHH- WHAT ELSE WERE WE TO DO?
