Is this the best it gets, Before I'm laid to rest? When I am through the gates, With old acquaintances, embroidering the truth. Will stories be from pre-today or from an archive yet to make? Is this the best it gets? How do I know? The best that it gets? How do I know? Disappointed, disillusioned, re-affirm my view, We've all a story to sell, We've all a lie that we tell, And it goes on and on, and on and on. Is this the best it gets? Could be surprises yet. When I become the subject of ancestors, Faded photograph, no name, A beacon or a burden, Guiding light, helpful or plain insane. Is this the best it gets? How do I know? The best that it gets? How do I know? Disappointed, disillusioned, re-affirm my view, We've all a story to sell, We've all a lie that we tell, And it goes on and on, and on and on.. Oh, disappointed, disillusioned, re-affirm my view, We've all a story to sell, We've all a lie that we tell, And it goes on and on, and on and on and on and... (Disappointed, disillusioned), and on, and on, and on, (Disappointed, disillusioned), and on. Is this the best it gets?
I got this feeling when I look you in the eye I got this feeling and I know that something died And with this feeling comes the baggage that I'll try to hide
I got this feeling it ain't good in any way I got this feeling and it will not go away And with this feeling comes the consequence that I will try to hide
It's in my head and on my tongue How am I supposed to say The words I want to say To you right now It's inevitable
Dya know that feeling when you know that something's wrong You know that feeling but you got to get along And with this feeling comes the sickness that takes long to disappear
It's in my head and on my tongue How am I supposed to say The words I want to say To you right now
It's on my mind but I can't find The string of words to say I've a feeling that you may already know It's inevitable
Here's the wake up call You ordered sir Air-conditioned smile Cloned bedroom style
And I'm looking through The glass again Maybe I'm the only one Gravity is there to bend Fantasies to live again so Here's the wake up call You ordered sir
Breathing deep inside Taking in the ride The scenery for me Is a different story I tell you now my heart Is aching for what I believe
So what have you done today That you've never done before And if it's alright I won't stay here tonight And if you don't mind I'll take things as I said So if it's okay I won't be staying Here again today
Meet the weekend sir Meet you mystery wife And the babies teeth Are coming down The babies voice Is breaking now
And as for all the years between Motorways and broken dreams so Here's the wake up call You needed sir
Standing on the side Observing all I find The scenery I see Twisted beyond belief I tell you now my mind Is bending for what I believe
So what have you done today That you've never done before And if it's alright I won't stay here tonight And if you don't mind I'll take things as I said And if you don't mind I'll stick with my own kind And if you don't mind I'll keep you out of sight And with that in mind Please take me as you find And if it's okay I won't be staying here ever again
Deep asleep as I awaken by a murder cry, a phone ring Stumble around the room to find my feet An anxious office man, asking why I never paid on time again No excuse, I've better things to do
I've got so much more to give But it all comes down to this,
Life gets in the way, Life gets in the way Life gets in the way of what I want to say I need a reason why, I need a stronger high I need to find a way to make me want to stay
Driving round again A traffic island, all the exits blocked again Except the one, and I know where it goes Stare at the playground wall Tell me what the circles' for, cos I don't know Maybe I'm the only one who don't know
I've got so much more to give, But it all comes down to this,
Life gets in the way, Life gets in the way Life gets in the way of what I want to say I need a reason why, I need a stronger high I need to find a means to stretch me at the seams.
A river running down an estuary for streams. A lightning bolt to light the bedside table lamp. Picasso on a wall in a home for the blind. A hurricane to dry the washing on the line. A tanker to my door, so I can fill my car. I need to find a way to make me want to stay. Why should I stay? Why should I stay? Why should I stay? Why should I stay? Why should I stay? Why should I stay? Why should I stay? I've got so much more to say. to moonn6pence from shootingstar
Rounded up the problems that I'm feeling here today Wrap them up and hide them out of sight and far away Take the ball and chain away that always keeps me down
The sun won't always shine just cause you're sheltered from the rain Everything worth anything will never be the same You can write a brand new chapter but you'll never change the end
So twist one more, all though I know you'll break me. Just be sure that I'm still in the game. As long as I forever keep on twisting, Evade the pain.
Solitude us where it tends to hot me really hard. I keep myself in company, I'm keeping up my guard. Turn my back and hide from what is standing right behind.
So twist one more, although I know you'll break me. Just be sure that I'm still in the game. As long as I forever keep on twisting, Evade the pain.
Everything I know is different. Darker, colder, smaller, thinner. Everything I know is different now, different now, it's different now.

Streams of memories shrouded in orange glow. Some twisted in time, feels like it's yesterday. Black and white stories I see Watered down and censored for me. I can't find truth in the mind. I will try and let old dogs lie. I'm doing again, Now I'm twisting all the history I made, And my memory finds the misery erased. It never felt that way I'm sure, I don't believe me anymore. Faded photograph, evidence I did smile. So lonely, so insecure, So confused, searching for more. Tears run dry, painfully shy. It's all gone now I've finally found. I'm doing again, Now I'm twisting all the history I made, And my memory finds the misery erased. It never felt that way I'm sure, I don't believe me anymore.
I broke into laughter, I found myself smile, Spent the last two hours, Not thinking of you, I didn't plan to.
Sometimes I look forward, Excited sometimes, Time's still moving for me, Are you angry? Forgive me.
Farther, further away, away. Farther, further away, away.
Please don't think I've moved on, I've just changed direction, that's all. Is that all right with you? I'll breathe without you, What else can I do?
Farther, further away, away. Farther, further away, away.
Someone stop the clocks, Someone block the sun, Someone stop the tide, And abolish fun. How dare the river flow, And who told the stars to glow, I swear I don't know
Farther, further away, away. Farther, further away, away. Farther, further away, away. Farther, further away, away. to moonnt6pence from shootingstar
See my face, it seems to be smiling again, Hear the sound as the laughter lines crack again, I made it through the other side, Instead of fire, I'm breathing life. Bitter, twisted slowly fades away, At least for today. Just as I was giving in, You breathed love in me again. I see signs of life again. Just as I thought I'd lost my way, You saved the day. See my world, it seems to be thriving again, I'm not used to everything going my way. Forgive me if I look for signs, I've got to check from time to time. The clock at midnight starts to chime, and you're... still here Just as I was giving in, You breathed love in me again. I see signs of life again. Just as I thought I'd lost my way, You saved the day.
Nerves of steel again, No one listening, Frozen fishing, Here comes self questioning, Self comparison, Soon turns green again, Like every other time. Actually, it's nothing that I haven't said before, Nothing that I haven't felt before But I'm not gonna feel it any more Drunken praise again, Don't mean anything, What's the point again, Arrives inside my head, The head that's nearly dead, Unlike the times bfore, This is my curtain call. Actually, it's nothing that I haven't said before, Nothing that I felt before, But I'm not gonna feel it any more There comes a point where even the hardened take no more, The thickest of skin holds out no more, But I'm not gonna take it any more. It doesn't make a difference to me, I never give up anyway It doesn't make a difference to me. Nothing new.....
