I hear the sound of the pulse
Beating along with the call
Try just a little, just a taste, until there’s nothing left at all
I substitute one addiction for the other
One little drag, little fuck up
Just to bring you down
You should have known that nothing is ever real
Just a fake, just a sleight a hand, another turn around the wheel
You walk around like you lost your self once and for all
A visage of someone you knew
But you just cannot recall

Stars and stripes
Ugly stereotypes
Another dream come true
For someone other than you
It’s a well dressed crowd
And no, we ain’t allowed
We’ve been played the fool
Darling ain’t it cruel?
Oh no, hold on
Oh no, hold on
Faces in the morning
Looking half alive
Faces in the evening
As if they already died
Doors disappearing
From the way you came
No exit from here
Darling ain’t it a shame?
Oh no, hold on
Oh no, hold on
It’s not so lonely here I tell myself

Please declare your unfortunate name
Be aware you are just the same
I want to let you know
That I cannot let you go
Cos I know you’ll end right
Right here
Here’s the call that you’re begging for
Leave you wanting so, so much more
A life that’s instantly
Infinitely more interesting
Cos I know you wanna go
But you’ll stay right
Right here
Yes I know you wanna go
But you’ll stay right
Right here
Yes I know you wanna go
But you’ll stay right
Right here
Yes I know you wanna go
But you’ll stay right
Right here
Yes I know you wanna go
But you’ll stay right
Right here

When I see you walking down the street
Walk this way my love
Didn’t think you’d knock me off my feet
Pick me up my love
I can hear you calling after me
I hear you clear my love
If you thought I’d let you get away
Well I’m right here my love
Didn't think I wouldn’t be alone
But you’re coming over, and staying here
Didn’t think I'd ever be the one
But you’re still right here, you’re still right here

Plastic Dagger

Another dagger in the back
Another feigned heart attack
Another self-made disaster
Another imaginary drama
Another excuse to go
I’m sorry I didn’t know
That the moment was wasted
Apology non-stated
Balloons drift in the sky
How’d they get there so high?
Why would anyone let them go
When they could watch them prune
To death on the floor?

Waterlove

Take me down to the water love
So I can see the stars above your eyes
If you swim into the waves my love
Be sure the moon is on your side
And if you drift into the dark my love
Be sure that you've said your goodbyes
Take me down to the water love
Take me down to the water love
If the river fails to please you love
Pretend it’s the ocean you're inside
And if the currents seem to take ahold
Act as though they never had tried
Take me down to the water love
Take me down to the water love
Take me down to the water love
Take me down to the water love
If you walk into the night my love
Give one for me and one for you
If you sink to the bottom love
Remember that there’s nothing you could do
Take me down to the water love
So I can see the stars above your eyes

How many lovers have died
Right where we're standing?
How many hearts here have tried
To give back all they're given?
It seems not enough
It seems not enough
It seems not enough
It seems not enough
The rulers have thoughts, so they think that they are now positioned
To see all they want to believe and then bask in perfection
To take away all of the things that we had once envisioned
So the sweetest moments can come for whom they're not granted
I've seen quite enough
I've seen quite enough
I've seen quite enough
I've seen quite enough
How many lovers have died
Right where they're standing?
How many hearts here have tried
To give back all their given?
It seems not enough
It seems not enough
It seems not enough
It seems not enough
