Sharp and open
Leave me alone And sleeping less every night As the days become heavier and weighted Waiting in the cold light A noise a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten With spiders inside them and dust on the lips of a vision of hell I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance I think about tomorrow Please let me sleep as I slip down the window Freshly squashed fly You mean nothing I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls All the time lose me in the dark Please do it right Run into the night I will lose myself tomorrow Crimson pain My heart explodes My memory in a fire And someone will listen At least for a short while I can never say no to anyone but you Too many secrets Too many lies Writhing with hatred Too many secrets Please make it good tonight But the same image haunts me In sequence Despair of time I will never be clean again Touched her eyes Pressed my stained face I will never be clean again |

It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer for something better Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything She struggles to get away The pain and the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me round Just like the old days Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson the ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth and my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over we die one after the other Over and over we die one after the other One after the other It feels like a hundred years A hundred years |

Sunk deep in the night
I sink in the night Standing alone Underneath the sky I feel the chill of ice On my face I watch the hours go by The hours go by You sleep Sleep in a safe bed Curled and protected Protected from sight Under a safe roof Deep in your house Unaware of the changes at night At night I hear the darkness breathe I sense the quiet despair Listen to the silence at night Someone has to be there Someone has to be there Someone must be there |

It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters Tell me I'm wrong I don't really care It's not a case of share and share alike I take what I require I don't understand You say it's not fair You expect me to act like a lover Consider my moves and deserve the reward To hold you in my arms And wait And wait And wait for something to happen It's not a case of telling the truth Some lines just fit the situation You call me a liar You would anyway It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying It's just your part In the play for today |

He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call anymore He waits to hear her say "forgive" But she just drops her pearl-black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies He waits for her to sympathize But she won't sympathize at all She waits all night to feel his kiss But always wakes alone He waits to hear her say "forget" But she just hangs her head in pain And prays to hear him say "No more I'll never leave again" How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last forever He waits for her to understand But she won't understand at all She waits all night for him to call But he won't call He waits to hear her say "forgive" But she just drops her pearl black eyes And prays to hear him say "I love you" But he tells no more lies How did we get this far apart? We used to be so close together How did we get this far apart? I thought this love would last forever |

I play at night in your house
I live another life Pretending to swim In your house I change the time in your house The hours I take Go so slow I hear no sound in your house Silence In the empty rooms I drown at night in your house Pretending to swim Pretending to swim |

yeah I know who you remind me of
a girl I think I used to know yeah I'd see her when the days got colder on those days when it felt like snow she used to just stand there and stare and roll her eyes right up to heaven and make like I just wasn't there and she used to fall down a lot the girl was always falling again and again and I used to sometimes try to catch her but never even caught her name and somtimes we would spend the night just rolling about on the floor and I remember even though it felt soft at the time I always used to wake up sore you know I even think that she smiled like you she used to just stand there and smile and her eyes would go all sort of far away and stay like that for quite a while and I remember she used to fall down a lot that girl was always falling again and again and i used to sometimes try to cathch her but never even caught her name yes I sometimes even tried to catch her but never even caught her name |

Going under slowly

All the faces
All the voices blur Change to one face Change to one voice Prepare yourself for bed The light seems bright And glares on white walls All the sounds of charlotte sometimes Into the night With charlotte sometimes Night after night she lay alone in bed Her eyes so open to the dark The streets all looked so strange They seemed so far away But charlotte sometimes did not cry The people seemed so close Playing expressionless games The people seemed so close So close So many Other names Sometimes i'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes i'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes Sometimes i'm dreaming Expressionless the trance Sometimes i'm dreaming So many different names Sometimes i'm dreaming The sounds all stay the same Sometimes i'm dreaming She hopes to open shadowed eyes On a different world Come to me Scared princess Charlotte sometimes On that bleak track (See the sun is gone again) The tears were pouring down her face She was crying and crying for a girl Who died so many years before Sometimes i dream Where all the people dance Sometimes i dream Charlotte sometimes Sometimes i dream The sounds all stay the same Sometimes i'm dreaming There are so many different names Sometimes i dream Sometimes i dream Charlotte sometimes crying for herself Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself But it's always with love With so much love it looks like Everything else Of charlotte sometimes So far away Glass sealed and pretty Charlotte sometimes |

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me Just try to see in the dark Just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out Hold my breath And wait until I shake... But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me But if I had your face I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door Was a dream |
