Motivate to forget so I can endure your words
Tell myself it's ok cos you say you're finding me pretty enough

Stripped away
Something I'll never get back someday
I'm stuck in doubt, looking for the door that leads me out

I'm just a little child, stripped away
I'm just a little child, you stripped away.
Something I'll never get back someday.

Who're you, enrage, as I bleed and still you know I'm late
To feel obscene,
Love to find but from a past,
You've heard but never seen,
You're so scared that I...

Refuse to lay down tonight,
And tolerate your words...

Stand up for myself if I'm on your knees
You're finding me pretty enough..
I finally see the light tonight
Have I been pathetic enough?

You will feel its hurting tight tonight
And all from this little child

All from a little child, who's finally turned away
All from a little child, who's finally turned away

Drift away...
Come back some day..

. . .


Denial waits, it's here to claim me now
As I crawl down to him,
For a chance that you'll come around,
And lay down tonight.
But I'm left telling myself that everything will be alright

Run away from the way that you love me
With no regrets
Just walk away don't wanna hear that you're sorry,
From words unsaid
So stay away, I know you wanna destroy me
And fade away
Cos I know.

If I just closed my eyes
I'll still see your lips saying everything will be alright
If I saw you right now, I'm embarrassed to say
I'd take you back and we could just pretend you never went away

Run away from the way that you love me
With no regrets
Just walk away don't wanna hear that you're sorry,
From words unsaid
So stay away, I know you wanna destroy me
Just save your breath
Cos I know.

Denial waits, it's here to claim you now
Denial waits, it's here to claim you now

Run away from the way that you love me
With no regrets
Just walk away don't wanna hear that you're sorry,
From words unsaid
Denial waits
Denial wait

. . .


If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me.
If you decide I'm wrong, and you can wait that long, maybe it's not too late.

I will not loose you to the melting sky
Or to the mad parade
To the bloody jaws or the fire fall
Don't be afraid.

You need never know, a cold heart, heart of stone
Or lonely memory, you will never be alone

If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me.
If you decide I'm wrong, and you can wait that long, maybe it's not too late.

I will not loose you to a world that doesn't care
To the monsters that would have you.
Never surrender you, I always will be there
I will be there to wrap myself around you
I will not loose you to the dark or to the nights
To the terrible machine
Never let you loose your light

If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me.
But if you decide I'm wrong, and you can wait that long, don't fall away from me.

Don't pull away...

If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me.
But if you think I belong, stay and keep me strong, maybe it's not too late.

. . .


It must've been very hard
To have lived and never learnt
To be content with who you are
We all want the same things don't we
To find the one who opens channels to our hearts
A path you never found upon your own.

Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
But this was one of those times

Forever can be...
Something to bleed for...
But this is one of those times

So you dug deep down inside yourself
You revealed an old man
So pained to be what makes you who you are
We all want you to see the you we see
The one that carries the worlds tragedies alone
The cross you choose to bear upon your own.

Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
Wish this was one of those times.

Forever can be...
Something to bleed for...
And this is one of those times, for those you left behind.

Save the world so you don't have to save yourself.
You save the world so you don't have to look at yourself.
And fill the void left inside your fragile hearts.
Those haunted images never left you alone........

Forever can be...
Something to believe in...
This was one of those times

Forever can be...
Something to believe for...
Now this is one of those times.

I watched you wash away any chance of coming clean to anyone
My face pressed against the glass wanting to know
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are

I watched you slip away from growing old with innocence or integrity
My face pressed against the glass
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are

Conjure up the thoughts of pure denial

You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
Demanding prophecies when you speak
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you now...

You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you

You would know the way lies could stip away from you
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you

They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up thoughts of pure denial

You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you now...

You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now

You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now

. . .


I've done hell to my safe holding
Out for my body in such loose feeling
I blame these sad things on me

Cut a smile in my face so you'll intake some fleeting comfort

Close in

I won't let you out of my touch
But you brandish the weapon of passive aggression
It seems like your idea I'm perfect
In mine I'm perfectly in line
So lets be enemies
To see the sun go away

Would you think I'd let you in
I've grown to suffer you lashing out at me
To see the sun go away

Don't deny my tolerance
Don't take away these sad things from me
And that ain't nothing
You should see what I'd do to me

Cut a smile in my face so you'll intake some fleeting comfort
You've built a wall up, you need to help tolerate any discomfort

From...

Your idea that I'm perfect
In mine I'm perfectly in line
So lets be enemies
To see the sun go away

Would you think I'd let you in
I've grown to suffer you lashing out at me

I will stand alone

Your idea, I'm perfect
In mine I'm perfectly in line
So lets be enemies
To see the sun go away

My idea, unless you're blind is
How did you fall away

. . .


I...
Could've been...
The man you see in front of you all...
But he...
Slipped away...
To put this pride in to a place of hiding.
From everyone...

I...
Suffer through...
And push away anyone in love with me, I...
Wish
I could have...
The pretty things you see in me
Underneath.

I've slipped away...
?? feel important to me in the day...
I wish...
I could have...
The pretty things inside of you, understood by anything.

. . .


At night when the voices that come
And flame flows through the woods along the wall
We have nothing left to say

Because we use some terrible words
To get such subtle rewards
That never seem worth it too me
They say the older we are, we can't change
And I say, that all that we are
Is just dark matter anyway, so just pray...
With me.

You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stare like strangers through each other in to the wall...

And you say, when your knives and your nails come unfurled
From the caged theoretical storms that mean nothing
But they go straight through me
Cos we use some terrible words
Which always sends me crippled in to flying

You say it's not too late, we can change.
And I say, hurry up, help me touch the ground tonight.
Please...
Say the words.

You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight through each other in to the wall...
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight through each other in to the wall...

Do you ever think you could erase the things I've said?
The bitter words that drip from wounds, inside your head.
I wanna see the blood rush back in to your face.
The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you this way

. . .


I've been pushing stones away far from these shores
I pretend that it's all ok
Til on the brink of what can't be adored

We survive
Well we can change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never breaking through the stone.

I pretended and prayed it all away, searching for a place to hide
But I don't need afflicted memories to fade,
I just want to feel something real inside.

We survive
Well we can change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never breaking through the stone.

I've been pushing stones away
Far from these shores
I..
Pretend that it's all ok
Til on the brink of what (can be endured)??

We survive
What we can't change
So let it fade
Just let it go
We pretend so nothing does change
We're flowers never breaking through the stone

. . .


They pretend to be the ones to be afraid of
Caressing our souls away from us
And all of the world to keep us all in line
If we just fold our hands and smile

So many wasted
Promises rhapsodised
Promises to take us higher

Don't be afraid of their excommunication, you'll survive.
We'll have no shame cos you will stand the climb and you will rise.

So many wasted promises rhapsodised
So many wasted sundays trying to avoid the fire
So many wasted
Promises to take you higher

They pretend to be the one we should be afraid of
Caressing our souls away

So many wasted promises rhapsodised
So many wasted sundays trying to avoid the fire
I've seen the twisted ways
They push the guilt inside, and made you believe you have to try
To suffer live and die their way

But it doesn't have to be this way.

You don't have to be shaken and confused and
?? to anything you can find.

. . .


Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing the reason that poisons your
Thinking you know what's good for us all
I wish I could reach out...

To silence you

But I'm a waste in your eyes.
You say you don't need me to save you tonight.
But I need to save you tonight.

I'm standing alone on the brink of a stone
Trying to humanise the enemy inside you
We're cut from the same cloth but we are
Stained with the poison of pride

We're sucking the life from the whole of the world
Can't be confined or condemned to be
Reduced to a place that's a violent resolve
To the end they will try

And silence you.

Cos we're a waste in their eyes
The grace they describe
Won't save you tonight.

Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing your reason that poisons your
Of all your fear, love, anymore??
Let pride come before a fall

I wish you could see and leave for something more
Than the things I'm confined and condemned to be
They will know our needs and we won't be ignored
So that we may excuse our lives

Don't let them silence you
Cos you're a waste in their eyes
There's a grace inside of you...
I need tonight...
