"The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most"

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself,
and covered with a perfect shell,
such a charming beautiful exterior.
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes,
perfect posture, but you're barely scraping by,
but you're barely scraping by.

This is one time, this is one time
that you can't fake it hard enough to please
everyone or anyone at all,or anyone at all.
And the grave that you refuse to leave
the refuge that you've built to flee
the places you have come to fear the most.
it's the place that you have come to fear the most

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself,
and hidden in the public eye.
Such a stellar monument to loneliness.
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
and perfect makeup but you're barely scraping by
but you're barely scraping by

This is one time, this is one time
that you can't fake it hard enough to please
everyone or anyone at all, or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
the refuge that you've built to flee
the places that you've come to fear the most.
it's the place that you have come to fear the most

And you cant fake it hard enough to please
everyone or anyone at all, or anyone at all
And the grave that you refuse to leave
the refuge that you've built to flee
the places that you've come to fear the most.
its the place that you have come to fear the most,
its the place that you have come to fear the most

"This Bitter Pill"

Walking away.
It's not the same as running.
Is it to you now that you've run this in the ground.
And you say take this.
This medicine is just what you deserve.
Swallow, choke, and die.

And this bitter pill is leaving you
with such an angry mouth.
One that's void of all discretion
such an awful tearing sound.
With it's measure only equal by the power of my stare
glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair
is never wearing out.

It's wearing off
and it's leaving you with such a heavy heart
and a head to match.
The bottle is waiting
the cap is twisted begging to be used
and so are you.

And this bitter pill is leaving you
with such an angry mouth.
One that's void of all discretion
such an awful tearing sound.
With it's measure only equal by the power of my stare
glaring over you and over you this feeling of despair
is never wearing out.
wearing out, wearing out, wearing out, wearing out, wearing out.

"Rapid Hope Loss"

You called to say you wanted out.
Well, I can't say I blame you now.
Sometimes you've got to fold
before you're found out.
Well thanks for waiting this long to show yourself.

Cause now that I can see you,
I don't think you're worth a second glance.

So much for all the promises you made, they served you well
and now you're gone and they're wasted on me.
So much for your endearing sense of charm, it served you well
and now it's gone and you're wasted on me.

so much for, so much more
I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna give,
so much for, so much more

Do what you must if that's what you wish,
I can't be a party to this
you have a sense that you were born with
You'll find a way to make things right.

I guess that all you've got is all you're gonna give.
so much for, so much more

"As Lovers Go"

She said, "I've got to be honest,
You're wasting your time if you're fishin' around here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
I'm not foolin', this feelin' is real."
She said, "You've gotta be crazy!
What do you take me for? Some kinda of easy mark?"

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But I swear that you've got me all wrong."

All wrong
All wrong
But you've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
And I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go.
So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made,
What's the sense in waiting?

I said, "I've got to be honest,
I've been waiting for you all of my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane.
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.

"You've got wits,
You've got looks,
You've got passion,
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?"

Tonight
Tonight
You've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier,
I'll be yours my dear
I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go. So don't complicate it by hesitating.
This is wonderful as loving goes.
This is tailor made, what's the sense in waiting?

 "Carry This Picture" 

Carry this picture for luck
kept in a locket, tucked in your collar
close to your chest.
Make it a secret
shown to the closest friends.
Meet me at quarter to seven,
the sun will still shine then
at this time of year.
We'll head to the inlet
and we'll share a bottle there.

And color the coast with your smile,
it's the most genuine thing
that i've ever seen.
I was so lost,
but now I believe.

And follow me south of the big docks
where they tether the boats
the rich men revere.
They're so important,
they hire our fathers to steer
And down to the edge of the water
where we'll spill our guts
and we'll name our fears,
I'll give you this picture
keep it and don't be scared.

And color the coast with your smile,
its the most genuine thing
that ive ever seen.
I was so lost,
but now i believe
in the coast,
your smile is the most genuine thing
that ive ever seen
I was so lost
but now i believe.
Now I believe.
Now I believe.
Now I believe.

"Bend And Not Break"

I catalogue these steps now
Decisive and intentioned.
Precise and patterned
Specifically to yours.

I'm talented at breathing
Especially exhaling,
So that my chest will
rise and fall with yours.

I'm careful not to wake you
Fearing conversation.
It's better just to hold you
And keep you pacified.

I'm talented with reason
I cover all the angles.
I can fail before I ever try.

Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away so,
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)

I am fairly agile
I can bend and not break
Or I can break and take it with a smile.

And I am so resilient
I recover quickly
I'll convince you soon that I am fine

Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away so,
Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend, I will not break)
Won't you hold me now? (For you I rise, for you I fall)

(bridge)

Just hold me close to you. (X4)
(Won't you hold me now?) (X2)

Try to understand there's an old mistake
that fools will make and,
I'm the king of them
pushing everything that's good away so,
Won't you hold me now...?
Won't you hold me now... now... now...?

"The Ghost Of A Good Thing"

I guess it’s luck, but it’s the same
Hard luck, you’ve been trying to tame
Maybe it’s love, but it’s like you said
“Love is like a role that we play.”

But, I believe in you so much
I could die for the words that you say
But, I believe in you so much
I could die from the words that you say

But, you’re chasin’ the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It’s getting away from you again
While you’re chasin’ ghosts

I guess it’s luck, but it’s the same
Hard luck, you’ve been trying to tame
Maybe it’s love, but it’s like you said
“Love is like a role that we play.”

But, I believe in you so much
I could die for the words that you say
But, I believe in you so much
I could die from the words that you say

But, you’re chasin’ the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It’s getting away from you again
While you’re chasin’ ghosts

Just bend the pieces ‘till they fit
Like they were made for it
But, they weren’t meant for this
No, they weren’t meant for this

Just bend the pieces ‘till they fit
Like they were made for it
But, they weren’t meant for this

Chasin’ the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It’s getting away, away, away, away from you again

Chasin’ the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It’s getting away from you again
While you’re chasin’ ghosts

"Am I Missing" 

Sharp disaster in a fresh new coma
Was it worth it when it was over?
Proving yourself right, you'd make the biggest noise

Well, I'd lock my hands behind my head
I'd cover my heart and hit the deck
I'd brace myself for the impact if I were you


Chorus:x2
(It's a long wait)
Is there anything?
(For an answer)
Worth looking for?
(Is there any news?)
Worth loving for?
(Is there any word?)
Worth lying for?
(Was there trama?)
Is there anything?
(Or a struggle?)
Worth waiting for?
(Am I missing?)
Worth living for?
(Or was the body found?)
Worth dying for?

I'm home (x4)

Sharp disaster in a fresh new coma
Was it worth it when it was over?
Proving yourself right, you'd make the biggest noise

Well, I'd lock my hands behind my head
I'd cover my heart and hit the deck
I'd brace myself for the impact if I were you

(Chorus)
(repeat chorus)

I'm home (x5)

(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)

I'm home (x4)

"Morning Calls"

Morning calls for pain relief
A line above the step beneath
The worst that you could do
And the best that you could hope for
Is hardly the best

Tepid water chase the pills
With turpentine & chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up all of the time

Shield your eyes
Conceal your lies

Don't blink, everyone's watching
They'll think you're up to something
They need for you to be
Everything that they cannot

Morning calls for pain relief

The worst that you could do

You need to be up all of the time
All of the time

Shield your eyes
Conceal your lies

Don't blink, everyone's watching
They'll think you're up to something
They need for you to be
Everything that they cannot

Don't blink, everyone's watching
They'll think you're up to something
They need for you to be
Everything that they cannot
Be themselves

Be themselves

"Carve Your Heart Out Yourself"

Carve your heart out yourself
Hopelessness is your cell
Since you've drawn out these lines
Are you protected from trying times?

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
Oh look, now, there you go with hope again
Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end

Dig a ditch deep enough
To keep you clear of the sun
You've been burned more than once
You don't think much of trust

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
Oh look, now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me
Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end
Treating me like I'm already gone

But I'm not, I will stay where you are always
I will stay, I will stay, I will stay (all of now)
[repeat to fade out]
