Burn

I’m finding it difficult to control myself when I am around you.
Don’t want to seem too full on but the heat is on and I’m burning without you.
I don’t want to disappoint but tell me what’s the point when I can’t even see you?
And when we talk on the phone I feel so alone cos you don’t even try to.
So won’t you please try to make this easier on me cos I’m not so hard to please.
It gets so old watching your cold shoulder and it’s just gets colder every day.
Thought it would be simple but now the gate is shut and I can’t seem to reach you.
Thought that we could keep in touch but your time is up and I want to forget you.
Cos I’m just wasting all my precious time on you and I don’t know what to do.
I give my all and I get nothing in return so I guess this bridge is burned.
Burn, burn, burn.
I can’t compete with the miles of space that’s in between so I’m going to come clean.
We’d be great but it seems that you don’t want to know so I’m just gonna go and let it,
Burn, burn, burn.

Lost and Found

Take my hand, hold on.
I’ll be yours, you’re very own.
And words cannot show the way I feel when I am with you.
My hand in yours I can’t describe, it’s like I need you.
Falling leaves, it’s nearly winter.
Naked trees, it’s nearly winter.
And I cannot feel or think or see unless I breathe you.
All of the world can pass me by until I see you.
And time will slip by,
And I’ll float as I wait for you to call me down.
So I hope you will come around.
I miss you that’s all I can say,
Can’t help it, there’s no way.
I want to get under your skin.
I want to get in.
And then you escape and run in circles round my head.
It’s pointless trying to think of other things instead.
You’re all I see; it’s no good for me.
Is it so bad that I like that?
Oh every word, every look, every move you make.
Captivates me, I’m stunned by ever y breath you take.
I’ve tried to forget,
But I can’t so I guess I’ll stick around for you,
I’m just lost, waiting to be found.
Come find me.
Come find me.
Come find me,
Locked in my head, under my bed.
And help me,
Help me run away, from all my mistakes.
Don’t judge me,
We’ve all been there, I’m sorry I swear.
So scared.
You’re all I want and everything I need,
Don’t look through me.
Yeah I’m so transparent,
You know I can’t help it.
Just try to trust in me.

Cannibalism

Walls,
Walls closing in.
Am I waiting,
For my real life to begin.
Was I supposed to,
Scream and let it out.
Well if you want to,
Maybe it might help.
When I say trying,
I mean that it’s a trying time.
Looking for reasons,
For the feelings I can’t fight.
If you can help me,
Feel free just let me know.
Cos I can’t help me.
I’ve lost all self-control.
Now Sarah say’s she’s gone cannibal again.
She can’t clean the blood off the bathroom walls again.
Now I’m lying for her, she’s still my friend.
Another hand I’m gonna have to lend.
I’m trying,
Trying to leave,
But she keeps holding onto me.
Like a leech, suck my blood.
Feels like I’m drowning,
Feels like I’m losing the war,
If only I knew,
What the fuck I’m fighting for.
She’s the cancer eating up my sense of self.
He’s my life support; she’s a danger to my health.
But I can’t say no, oh I can’t say no to her,
And I can’t go, I can’t go, I can’t…
Everyone needs to get stuff off their chests,
But whenever I try I just make myself sick.
I’ve given up and given in too far.
I’m losing it, she’s taken this too far.
She’s taken this too far.
Now all the grown-ups say I’ve got a lot to learn.
And there worried that I don’t seem too concerned.
All I want is you and me and a bottle of wine.
Everything is gonna be just fine.
Everything is gonna be just fine.
Everything is gonna be just fine.
Everything is gonna be just fine.

Never Knew

You don’t even know me so let’s not pretend,
That we were like soul mates or even just friends.
This isn’t the end but this isn’t the start.
So let’s not make out like you ever had a place in my heart.
Heart, heart.
What did you think was going on? You never knew.
Thought it was clear but I was wrong. You never knew, you never knew.
You’re in denial, I think it’s so sad,
You say I was the best you ever had.
I’m sorry to do this. It’s not what I planned.
I honestly tried but things had gotten so out of hand.
Hand, hand.
What did you think was going on? You never knew.
Lust doesn’t last when love is gone. You never knew, you never knew.
Oh Oooh...
I don’t know how I can get through.
Nothing seems to infiltrate you.
I don’t mean to sound so unkind.
But can’t you see your acting so blind?
I’m never gonna feel what you feel.
That was never part of the deal.
You have always failed to touch me.
You could never make me complete.
X 2
I couldn’t give my heart to you. You never knew.
There’s someone else I gave it to. He never knew, he never knew.

Young and Restless

We as the adults say are future,
But we don’t know what we’re getting into.
Get a job, get a house, get a car,
If you get a degree then you’ll go far.
So sick of what I’ve got to prove now.
Always being told what to do now.
And I just can’t see how living that life could save me.
Young and we’re restless.
But we’re doing our best just now,
And nobody gets us.
We’re so messed up but at least we’re trying.
The old world is dying now,
So try and keep up yeah, you better keep up now.
So much pressure pushing down on me,
But all I really want do is run away from here.
I don’t want to be another clone,
Caught up in the crowd and yet so alone.
So sick of what I’ve got to prove now.
Always being told what to do now.
Makes it hard to breathe, why can’t they just let me be.
Young and we’re restless.
But we’re doing our best just now,
And nobody gets us.
We’re so messed up but at least we’re trying.
The old world is dying now,
So try and keep up yeah, you better keep up now.
They tell us to grow up then say we’re growing too fast.
They tell us to slow down then they complain when we’re last.
I see so many people working trying so hard.
But they never get far.
Young and we’re restless.
But we’re doing our best just now,
And nobody gets us.
We’re so messed up but at least we’re trying.
The old world is dying now,
So try and keep up yeah, you better keep up now.
