Already Yours

A gift from God
a small creation
a prized possession 
without limitations
behind these eyes
what can you see 
that isn't
Already yours
Already yours
Already yours
Already yours

In fact I've never wanted anything more
in fact I've never wanted anything less

Oh you shouldn't treat me like a stranger
you say I have the same effect,
only this time on you
behind your eyes 
what can I see 
that isn't
Already yours
Already yours
Already yours
Already yours

The voices of angels
are in our blood
The voices of angels
are in our blood
The voices of angels
are in our blood
The voices of angels
are in our blood

Behind your eyes 
what can I see 
that isn't

Already there
Already yours
Already there
Already yours


Horror Head

  
The fireworks red and green
I can see what they're saying
It's you or me

A boxing ring with blackened walls
It can only see from the inside
Across the board

There's a horror in my head when the blanket is gone
from the throne in my castle where I see the sun from
In the comfort of this room the challenge died
remember you and me, we laughed till we cried

Wish You Dead

 
You can dig that knife
deep down inside me
just don't say never again
it's the only thing
that stops me going crazy
I know you won't
cos you never do
And that's the nicest thing about you
you're so uncaring
so assuming
backstabbing all consuming
don't step over my head
don't step over my head

You can filter 
your poison into my sleep
but I know it's my heart
that you could never reach
I know you won't
cos you do as you choose
and that's the ugliest thing about you
you're so uncaring
so assuming
backstabbing all consuming
I've told a thousand lies through me
I've sold a thousand lies for you
don't step over my line
don't step over my time
don't step over my head
cos I will 
wish you dead

Doppelgänger

 
Oh, the devil is in me
oh, the devil is in me
oh, the spirit is in me
oh, the spirit is in me
I don't know what I should do now
show me what I should be doing
am I wearing my right dress
am I wearing the right shoes
am I wearing my right face

You just hate me for being born
you just hate me for being me
you just hate me for being me
you just hate me for knowing you
as I do

All I ever wanted
was to be the light in your eyes
am I thinking the right thing
am I in my right mind
am I wearing my right head

You just hate me for being born
you just hate me for being me
you just hate me for being me
you just hate me for knowing you
as I do

Do I have a real heart
do I think with an open mind
do I have real blood
pumping through my veins
moving through my veins
pulsating through
pushing through my veins

You just hate me for being born
you just hate me for being me
you just hate me for being me

Lillies Dying

 
Hard as it may seem
nobody's perfect
not even you
not even you
crawl for me 
like a child
just go back
to where you want
cos I don't like you 
anymore

But there's no problem with you
you can come in
I just don't want to upset you
but make your mind up
sharp and new
cos lillies dying in the front
yeah yeah yeah

Try to understand
nothing is easy
the first time around
the first time around
when angels are all you see
then you can live that misery
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

But there's no problem with you
you can come in
I just don't want to upset you
but make your mind up
sharp and new
cos lillies dying in the front
yeah yeah yeah

Ice That Melts The Tips

 
Blue
I'm bluer than the water
it's true, 
I'm cleaner than the air 
you breathe
I'm cleaner than the sunset 
in the picture
of that woman 
in your heart
push me into overload
push me into overload

Cold
I'm colder than ice that melts the tips
of the only question
that really exist
to you
the horizon
throws the moonlight 
in the eye
of my hate
push me into overload
push me into overload

Tell me to the heart
Tell me to the heart
Tell me to the heart
Tell me to the heart
Tell me to the heart
Tell me to the heart

I'm cleaner than the sunset
in the person
that sleeps in your heart

Split Into Fractions

I can't take much more from you
I can't cos I don't want to
spiteful
but a fact of life
not everyone you meet is that nice
When you scratch the surface below 

There characters emerge
and paint pictures
that split into fractions 
in front of your eyes

I'm a swooning bitch
and I love to be it
my friends and I
just love to me me
meet all the time
cos we think we're clever
so surreal
he makes us feel better
we think we're so clever

There characters merge
and take pictures
that split into fractions 
in front of your eyes
in front of them
there is nothing to behold
in front of them,
you can't be sure what you're dealing with
and that's got to be good for you
I die on the cross before I crossed you
you know I'd never hurt you
I'm just not that type of girl

Think and Act

 
I know you
better than yourself
you think and act 
but you can't convince me
I've heard of suspicions 
in the middle of the night
they woke me up
they woke me up
some people say I'm hollow
and some people say I'm false
and some people say I'm narrow
but what do they know
what do they know
they all say I won't listen
I won't listen to any criticism
Well they could be me for a day
if they liked
then they'd know
then they'd say
you just

Burn your soul
you just burn it down
to the ground
you're not worth it anymore
you're not worth it anymore
you're not worth it anymore
you're not worth it anymore

I know you
you think and act 
but you can't
you just can't
I've heard suspicions
they don't mean a thing to me
not now you know me so well

Burn your soul
you just burn it down
to the ground
you're not worth it anymore
you're not worth it anymore
you're not worth it anymore
you're not worth it anymore

You think and act
but you can't
not now you know you
so well
hands move
slowly slowly
we are in paradise
we are in paradise

Fait Accompli

Every day
there is some kind of darkness
that just won't go away
no matter how hard I try
it crawls into your system 
while your guard is down
becomes the ball that you drag around

Every party
at every function
to give to people 
with written instructions
don't try to get away
I'm here to stay
My name is fate

Every night
sleep wonders on its own
never once does it kiss me
with its chloroform
it crawled into my system 
while my guard was down
became the bore I like to have around

Every party
at every function
to give it to people 
with written instructions
don't try to get away
I'm here to stay
My name is fate

I've come to crush your bones 
I've come to make you feel old 
I've come to mess with your head 
cos it'll make you feel good

I've come to make you feel good [2]
I've come to make you feel good alright [4]

Come to the party
come to the function
give me aggression 
with written instructions
don't try to get away
I'm here to stay
hear me now

Sandpit

Are we savages
born without hope
lost on these highways
existing to cope
you swailed my pride
gutted me from the inside
left me in a pool of doubt
now I don't think I can get out
but you can laugh
but you can laugh
but you can laugh
cos you think that you're better than me

If we are the investigators
of our times
Why do we harmonise 
then revolutionise our crimes
down in this sandpit 
of misbegotten youth
we've been shown
then disowned the one truth
you can laugh
you can laugh
you can laugh
cos you think that you're better than everyone

I'm just trying to do the right thing
I'm just trying to do the right thing
the right thing

Escape to my house
escape to my house
