I've seen men shoot their brothers down Blood thirsty, so hungry for that crown I see girls avoiding dinner, Whilst their minds grow ever-thinner Like balloons going down I've seen animals better behaved The world's best poetry is written on our graves...

You promised me, we'd always be fine Guess you lied Cause now the whole world can hear our silence And here we are, where we said we'd never be You'd do anything for me But how can you lift me up when you're on your knees Its not that I don't want you...

Sometimes I wonder why I'm still here Light one more cigarette, stub out my fear Head underwater to block my ears Of all the things I know but I don't want to hear Cause I can't be, anything you want to see I can only be what I know how And I won't go whereve...

I don't know who I am I don't know where I stand So what else can I do But follow lines on my hand? Blow the candles, watch the smoke Goodbye to youth before I choke Although I've never been I've never come face to face Rumours speak of the future Like it's a...

It's chilling how you love to hate all the girls that love you All your thrills from the kills of already bleeding hearts Only I can see the truth behind the heartless things that you do As one chapter ends another story starts You're so blind A shadow to pas...

Those hardest to love need it most I watched our bodies turn to ghosts Such good friends, it has to end it always does That's the way life is Do we take that risk? And so it all boils down to this We've got our aim but we might miss We are too fragile...

I don't have much to say There's nothing in this name Sorry to disappoint again Nobody pines for the listener A thrill I fail to deliver And whilst I watch in silence You're starting forest fires You start them just to feel the heat And whilst I keep...

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can You can reac...

Who said that you could make a fool of me? And treat me as if I’m not even here Who said that you decide how I feel? Who Have you got blood running through your veins? Do you feel love and can you feel pain Who said it’s fine for you to shift the blame?...

5AM, in the rain Waiting for you to explain Why you don't think you can stay Why my world's just gone insane I remember the first time we were here You told me all your darkest fears And I fell apart I knew this was coming from day one Back there in...

Let's start at the end Becoming strangers once again Or maybe that's all we ever were Do you know how it feels To crave a body made of steel To give your all for no return 'Cause I've been running marathons While you're still standing still And I'd be anythin...

We got mixed emotions And that's when things get complicated Victims of the loneliness Find themselves in the darkest places You've been using me To get what you need But you know how I feel It's nothing Tell me where (hey) Where do you get your ki...

You're alone, you're on your own, so what? Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours? Glass half empty, glass half full Well either way you won't be going thirsty Count your blessings not your flaws You've got it all You l...

Do I annoy you? Do I offend you with my words? Do I bore you? Am I the worst thing you've ever heard? Leave your mark, your black and blue bruises Blood red scars, you were the one to choose this We won't ever be Forgive me, I'm just so fucked up in the...

Trying to put my finger on this feeling Can't remember what we came here for Everything we tried to say has hidden meaning When you're the kind of tired that sleep can't cure Time moves slow Waiting for this to evolve When hearts have nothing to hold T...

We were running off our midnight mouths Saying things that we don't mean When you're playing in the dark Well, nothing's as it seems It's just the lonely, just the lonely talking So don't you tell me that you're falling for me now It's just the lonely,...

Why is it always you I come running back to when I have a vacant heart? Where am I going wrong, I've wanted you for too long, I can't seem to restart I would be an ornament if that would keep you content, I'd be anything for you You seem to want everythi...

Look at you, you've got the perfect view and he's right there in your arms And he says he loves you, he says he needs you and you will not be harmed Miles away my world is far more grey cause without him I am lost Should've known that day that he wouldn't stay...

So vast, so free, These deep blue waters draw me in jealousy I lost my head Somewhere between the surface and the seabed I'll stay beneath Where my voice makes no noise trapped in my body But when I leave, Well I know that one day it's an ocean I'd be...

Six months, and whats it worth? Half a year of pain and hurt I'm not gonna lie, those first few months were perfect in my eyes Two years before I knew, All that I ever wanted was you I'm not gonna cry, don't wanna ruin your memory with your tear stained l...

Has it got to the point where relationships have rules? Controlled by outsiders, I guess they think we're fools I think you and me could go somewhere new I don't care what they're telling us to do We know what they're hiding We know we'll be fighting What if...

Our lives are stories, waiting to be told In search of silver linings, we discovered gold And judgement taught us that our hearts were wrong But they're the ones that we'll look down upon The rules say our emotions don't comply But we'll defy the rules u...

Trying too hard to put a smile on my face When it feels so out of place i'm being frozen by your flames Thought you were human but you're just a ghost A shield of skin and bones I promise you won't feel a thing It's not hard to let it go, when there's n...

You always knew me Better than anyone else I'd ever met And that's what threw me I think I lost myself the day you left We used to stay up just to watch the date change to something new Another day where I would have you But how can it all change so fa...

Game after game we play Our twisted snakes and ladders Time for the rules to change You're in my arteries You're bolting through my body I'll never be the same So why won't you Talk to me? Why won't you just talk to me? There's a universe inside you...

Found myself in a house we've never been before I'm wasted and I'm dancing dizzily I know you would think I'm so far out of character Cos you know me I guess I came here looking for distraction In a part of town we never used to go Keep my body busy so m...

When I am alone I sit and dream And when I dream the words are missing Yes, I know that in a room so full of light That all the light is missing But I don't see you with me, with me Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room, Through the door you've...

There's tobacco in my sheets I know you won't be proud Always taught me not to be the kind of woman that I seem to be becoming now There's an empty bag of something On the table by my bed Yeah, I know you wouldn't like it but It's the only thing that get...

I wanna know why you don't think with your brain And how your xbox has become your new best friend I wanna know how you can be such a pain Without even trying, is lying the brand new trend? You know, what I'm after so why aren't we laughing now? I thought I m...

This changes everything I could tear your world to shreds It don't mean anything If I live to regret Going through the motions When there's no emotion left to feel Left to feel You don't know You're so oblivious To words I've never said Isn't it obvious That...

Who am I to tell you that you should stay When you're searching for the heatwave and I am the rain? Who am I to warn you when I'm what you're running from? Cause I've done nothing wrong but I'll never be right So who am I to put up such a fight? Your hea...

All too good, it's all too good Half empty bottles of wine on my sink, and I am, I am Far too gone, way too gone, I cannot think and I don't even care No I don't Wish that we could stay in this for life Wish we could remain in this but I I know better...

I guess my problem's always been Giving people everything And expecting the same He said he didn't do commitment With tattoos on his skin Maybe I wasn't worth the pain Oh if only I, I could verbalise What's really going on I internalise and I don't kn...

I can't control my feelings I can't control my thoughts I'm staring at the ceiling Wondering how I got so caught You're completely off limits For more reasons than just one But I can't stop You're aware of my existence But you don't know I'm here Yo...
