I'm sick of it and i'm i'm ready no doubt
I'm gonna get over this, over and done
Gonna go mess me up, until that i'm gone
It's not far until it's over and done

Yet i am the lucky one holding cop beside my mind
But it's hard to get shreaded so fast i'm falling behind

Now they are announcing me married to my guilt
And they're right, i could never find one better - i've tried

Could you do it for me, somebody to notice,
Could you do it for me, somebody to notice,
Do you really need somebody to notice?
Could you do it for me?
Could you do me instead?

Cop's dead

On the other hand, no way and no how
I'm gonna get over myself, over and done

It tasted bitter for me, so how is it for you?
Can you swallow it whole or is it too much too soon?

I'm talking 'bout the bitch in me, the cop in you
The things i feel that i need to prove
And that judgement that must come later on

Yes i'm talking 'bout my fading looks, my ugly skin,
And the way she pushes that needle in
And that i'll never be the way i once was

Can't you do it for me, somebody to notice
Could you do it for me, i'm somebody to notice
Do you really need, somebody to notice?
Could you do it for me?
Could you do me instead?

Cop's dead
Cop's dead

The bitch in me, the cop in you
The things i feel that i need to prove
And that judgement that must come later on

Cop's dead

I'm done doing you undone
Baby we're through
Giving up perfection is what i do

So take it all out on me
Righteus i am, i'm gonna shut my mouth
Could you look sweet for me now
You little worm

Oh god you gonna miss me when i'm gone
Take your dirty hands off me
So i can lay my dirtier hands on you

Oh go on curse the one beside you
It's just another way to hold you back
You don't want his skinny arms around you
But it's just another way to hold you back
You know it's just another way to hold you back

I'm sick of being me, i'm sick of being me
Emotional flatline is why i leave
I'm ... your back that trashy little fake is gonna take them home/all
This dirty ballad boy is making promises but never calls
Is gonna bring the situation to a fall

But i'm done doing you undone
Righteus i am, i'm gonna shut my mouth

So go on curse the one beside you
It's just another way to hold you back
You don't want his skinny arms around you
But it's just another way to hold you back
You know it's just another way to hold you back
It's just another way to hold you back
It's just another way to hold you back

Album: True Love (1999)

it's been a while
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it

i've been tied down
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it

why do i have this doubt?
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it

why do i have this doubt?
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it

if i survive this i'm gonna take new stand
i'd do anything just to feel the sweet touch of the hand
honey stand by your man

tell me again
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it

why do i fear so much?
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it

if i survive this i'm going down and pray
i know i have it in me, i will hurt you so bad if i stay
do you really want it this way?

they're the same, they're the same
they're all the same with the static faces
the slitted wrists and the fame
and only themselves to blame

and if faith means trust, there's no faith in me
and i need noone, as noone needs me
it's alright, i feel it
it's alright, i feel it

if i survive this i'm gonna take new stand
i'd do anything just to feel the sweet touch of the hand
oh honey stand by your man

and if faith means trust, there's no faith in me
and i need noone, noone needs me
it's alright, i feel it
it's alright, i feel it
it's alright, i feel it
it's alright, i feel it

It's a phase, and i hope that it will pass
I've been wearing me down so hard lately
I'm turning in a way

And know, that this man with this ugly grin
Has been standing outside my door
And wants me to let him in
He wants to get under my skin

Just get somebody on the side
And the ... you now, and i know
I'm to ignorant to try, but i'm holding up my hands
As the guilty as accused, as i leave you alone tonight

For a while, i've been living by my self
As a matter of fact i was alone long before i had a thing with death/had to py my debt
When you look at this pile of skin and bones
Can you see ... resemble, do you wanna let him know

Just turning you on and ...

Just get somebody on the side
And the ... you now, and i know
I'm to ignorant to try, but i'm holding up my hands
As the guilty as accused, as i leave you alone tonight

Anyway
Wasting a lot of time
Looking for somebody to shelter me as i hit the ground
But i don't have the nerve to shout it out
I'm counting on my brothers to come and help me out
But i'm standing alone with...

Just get somebody on the side
And the ... you now, and i know
I'm to ignorant to try, but i'm holding up my hands
As the guilty and the new, as i leave you alone tonight

The lasting sound of a shrieking wind i'm taking my time by the subway train
The ache in me from a night before
I'm taking a ride to suburban plains
I'm looking for a face to compare my ... only to find them staring back at me

Cruel is the morning that i face right now
People and they're moving out
Oh my head
I'm coping with the ache
And i see
I try hard to look alive

Stepping out in a distant zone
I'm taking my ride to suburban plains
I couldn't care less if i miss the train
I've never been here, but i know my way

Oh my head
But i'm coping with the ache
And i see
I try hard to look alive

And i know
I've been here so many times
Yes i know
I had deal just one more time
Can you hear me now
And i'm always on your mind
And you know
How i've missed suburban rides
(oh yeah)

The one that i miss
The one that i miss

Let's shoot another picture of my face
Take me back where i belong
I'm in the mud i can't get out
Deep in my self where i belong

And it's pulling me down
And there i go, i can feel it reaching for my feet
And in a while i'll be sucking mud from my teath
In this place as i'm thinking about my sense
While it's taking me in

Well if this was a question of my luck
I'll be laughing as i drown
Well, i'm out of rope and out of reach
Deep in myself where i belong

And it's pulling me down
And there i go, i can feel it reaching for my feet
And in a while i'll be licking mud from my teeth
In this place that's been tricking me from the start
And now it's tearing me up and apart
It's pulling me down
Ah it's pulling me down

It's a way to go man

What do i do now

And it's pulling me down
And there i go, i can feel it reaching for my feet
And in a while i'll be sucking mud from my teeth
In this place that's been tricking me from the start
And now it's tearing me up and apart
It's pulling me down
Oh it's pulling me down

And it's a way to go man

What do i do now

And i hope, yes, i hope somebody come by
Make it now 'cause i'm running out of time

And i hope, yes, i hope somebody come by
Make it now 'cause i'm running out of time

And i hope, yes, i hope somebody come by
Make it now 'cause i'm running out of time

And i hope, yes, i hope somebody come by

A moment later i burst into fire
Delinquent in me, thorned up and tired
And it stroke me so hard i wonder if my soul survive
I don't know,i've never been much for karma anyhow
It doesn't bother me more than you do now
And things can get so much worse than they are now
(sweet lord)
Oh lord i don't need no safety net tonight,
Oh no i don't need no safety net tonight
That talk about guilt ain't gonna get me
That talk about guilt ain't gonna get me

Then things happened so fast, i wonder if my soul survive
If only i could speak to you or just touch you i'd be fine

It doesn't bother me more than you do now
I haven't felt so much worse than i do now
(sweet lord)
Oh lord i don't need no safety net tonight,
Oh no i don't need no safety net tonight

And no one needs, no redemption, just switch on solitude on time

It doesn't bother me more than you do now
And things do not get so much worse than they are now
(sweet lord)
But lord i will not be the loser in our fight
Oh lord i don't need no safety net tonight
And noone needs no redemption, just switch on solitude on time

She's the itch inside my chest
She's my mistress and i'm hers for she
Cramps and holds on tight
Oh god i am the one
I must run tonight

She takes advantage of me now
She's a parasite and i play the part of the devastated host
I know that is the part she loves the most

Can i get out when i'm already trapped
It's a solution to this i must find
But i don't know how
Oh i am lost without it but still
I really really need a way to get out
But i don't know how

She's the itch inside my chest
She's the reminder of my other sides
The whisper in my head
She's comfort in my bed
I run tonight
I hope for someone to take me in
I hope for someone who will hold me tight despite my different sights
Oh god i hope that i can be safe tonight

Can i get out when i'm already trapped
It's a solution to this i must find
But i don't know how
I know i'm lost without her but still
I really really need a way to get out
But i don't know how

Can i get out when i'm already ...
It's a solution to this i must find
But i don't know how
Well i'm lost without her but still
I really really need a way to get out
But i don't know how

She's the itch inside my chest
She's my mistress and i'm hers for she
Cramps and holds on tight
Oh god i am the one
I must run tonight

She takes advantage of me now
She's a parasite and i play the part of the devastated host
I know that is the part she loves the most

Can i get out when i'm already trapped
It's a solution to this i must find
But i don't know how
Oh i am lost without it but still
I really really need a way to get out
But i don't know how

She's the itch inside my chest
She's the reminder of my other sides
The whisper in my head
She's comfort in my bed
I run tonight
I hope for someone to take me in
I hope for someone who will hold me tight despite my different sights
Oh god i hope that i can be safe tonight

Can i get out when i'm already trapped
It's a solution to this i must find
But i don't know how
I know i'm lost without her but still
I really really need a way to get out
But i don't know how

Can i get out when i'm already ...
It's a solution to this i must find
But i don't know how
Well i'm lost without her but still
I really really need a way to get out
But i don't know how
