Face turns black swollen eyes
Fall down dead prey to disguise
Such a pretty face you filled your head with
F*** you glutton joke you're all the same
Turn away face the money
Dip your hand into the honey
Such a pretty fate you filled your head with
Pleasures for the rich so close you are
Simplicity you're so easily led
All your life could go easily unsaid
I can't wait till you're gone leave me in peace
I'm so much more you'll never see so much more you'll never be
A picture framed of you and someone
She knows your name but she doesn't like you
Such a prety face you filled your head with
F*** you glutton joke you're all the same
I'm so much more you'll never see
So much more you'll never be
Suckin' the mother dry.
It's the age old sin.

I lost an island in the ocean
The place where nickels come to gamble on their faces
She took the offer to be the daughter
We pledge allengiance to the one who affers social graces

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me

'Cause I'm in over my head,
In over my head
It's for the best

I ripped up the picture
The one in the kitchen
I looked weak my eyes they gave it all away
I don't deny it
I still haven't found it
I proudly wear the scars
I've challenged every crutch so far

Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me
'Cause I'm in over my head, in over my head
It's for the best and I'm in over my head, in over my head
It's for the best (x2)

I'm kinda rusted
Everyone's noticed
Salty and edgy
It's not my fault
I wear a costume to make up for broken
I wear a ribbon for the problems I've solved
The habit is compelling treat it like addiction
the rise and fall of conviction
the peace and shame of giving in
I've got a name it's all I have
I'm a skinny wire radio tower
I believe there's something more
I'm a silver jet just passing over
I believe there's something more
I'm covered with choices it's not becoming
This way or that one
I can't decide
I've got a name
It's all I know

I love to wake in the morning light
the kind that sticks between your fngers
I'm learning peace but I know I'll let it go
For the thrill and the wonder of adventure... oh adventure,
I'll follow you, adventure...
I found a shiny one
keep it in my hand
Gonna send you a long long letter
You will understand and you'll love me still
Even though you should know better,
Even though you should know better.
yes yes yes
Oh trouble follows like a friend in need
and my compassion is my weakness (sweetness)
Everyone is looking for that fine fine line between contentment
and the troubled mind of genius
of genius, I'll follow you
I found a shiny one
keep it in my hand
gonna send you a long long letter
You will understand and you'll love me still
Even though, you should know better
Even though, you should know better
Evening falls on these island skies and soothes the weary into
sleeping
The strangers gather round the fireside
While I silently long for the familiar
for the familiar
I'll follow you
I found a shiny one keep it in my hand
gonna send you a long long letter
You will understand and you'll love me still
Even though, you should know better
Even though you should know better

Did you ever sense the way I wanna get away
To do what's right inside, reveal what I hide
But I would break you down
I'd have to break your face
Spit on all your lip, and pick apart your trip
If you could see the tragedy in harmony
It would blow you down
Can I throw you down
Bits and pieces, parts of me that you can't see
It would blow you down
Can I show you around
Please don't let me be the one to bring you down
It's really not my place, to put you in your place
theres just way to few of those of you, the few
I love to sit and talk to, and pull the night time through

Make believe for hours and hours
You've got me surrendered to powers
That patently proceed to devour
Past the time prisoner to your fine wine
gracefully you've captured my fallen
Faithfully I've come to recall them
Breathe you deep as you seep into my life line
All the pain has gone away
and all the words I love to say
fall so easy to the page
and slip on the glaze
All the rules are thrown away
from the games we love to play
Kiss the lips from which we're made
in my masquerade
Make believe for hours and hours
you and me, lovers like fireworks
It's the only light I can see for miles

The walls are filled in here with glass
My eyes are stolen with a glance
And the cheap persuasion that has emptied
it's perfume and left us
weary has been overlooked as art
I'm handed cups of tepid gleam
From smiles colourless and careful
My face is frozen as the winner takes his prize and all eyes turn to
stare
The lonelier the better and all my friends are there
The click clicking of the floss
A dabble here and there why I'm here and why they're there
I don't know why the shaker's breaking up the peace
But I heard him stare
I heard him stare
The lonelier the better
and all my friends are there...
Are they all there?

Doubt falls away
Deep breath miles past the enemy
That blood will stain
No use to try to remedy
That song he sang
"La la something 'bout a better day"
He'll miss her ways,
wonderin' if he missed his chance again
He says "Speak to me from high high places, my prayer is short but
complecated
I'm just waitin' for the weather to change
Some days are better than others today I should have stayed under
get out get out get out I gotta think it over and be done with today
forever...
I've got a game, you play Anna Lee and I'll play Emily
That might wear thin
Laughter comin' through the walls you're in, the walls you're in, the
walls you're in
Oh, speak to me from high high places
My prayer is short but complecated
I'm just waiting for the weather to change
Some days are better than others
Today I should have stayed under, get out, get out, get out, I gotta
think it over
And be done with today forever, today forever, today forever

I try to spend as much time as I can alone
Although I'm not against learning a thing or two from you
The wide wide sound of life gripping then letting go
I listen to my voice to reassure my own
I try to hold on and try to rise above and I try too hard
Sometimes faith is not enough
But faith's the only saving grace I face
Everything's in it's place
If only you could only speak the truth
tell me can you tell me what that would make of you
No one seems to find the secrets hid between the walls
what more can I say about you not catching my fall
I try to hld on and I try to rise above and I try too hard
Sometimes faith is not enough...
but faith's the only saving grace I face
Everything's in it's place
And it seems to me we hold the rope together
and so easily we fall just like a feather
the other blames the other for the pulling down
