Neck Deep

Let's start it here Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin' I can't pin down the year When the romance wasn't dead And love still stood for something There was a girl who had lost her way She blushed red when he came over And they danced the night away And h...

I’ll paint you a picture with words, “I miss her.” We still talk like everyday But we don’t talk in the same way that we used to I’ll move on and forget you We could never see eye to eye But either way. I like her ‘cause she’s smart, headstrong and ind...

All hype, no heart Brain dead as fuck without a clue, You just follow those around you, I got no respect for the way you dress; you just do this for effect. I’ve never changed, We might look the same but you’re everything I hate, You have no idea just how I go...

I can't go back It's not how it was before It's the [?] It's the mess left after the war I'm a mess but I'm dying for more Take me back We can't go anywhere I'll give you all that I have You are simply standing there You pulled me in and said Just sl...

Blank pages keep me awake, But these nights are too long to shake off My nerve to easy to break, A brave face is too hard to fake Stressed out and I'm losing the will, I'm too hot but I'm feeling the chill of defeat This happens every time, Push the bou...

I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone I walk this empty street On the boulevard of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk alone I walk alone, I walk...

[Verse 1:] The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses, But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is. It can be grim and send you West from time to time, Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck, But this shipwreck, it is mine...

Yesterday saw you missing, Drawn to the light in the distance Holding her hand while she listened, She told him how much she would miss him Said his goodbyes to his children, And let the weight fade away I have your hands, But I have my mother's eyes...

This is the age of descent, the fresh face generation of defect It's gonna go down before we reach for the reset This is for the lost, downtrodden and rejects And anybody looking for a purpose We all kick our way through streets of praise To find hope in...

"You have sixteen new messages First new message: Why do I even bother calling you It's been like sixteen times today I know you've seen the line So stop ignoring me!" I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement Now you've called me up...

She's dressed in blue and black again, Sometimes red or yellow dress, She can't seem to make up her mind, A shed of light is hard to find. She was too cool for me to catch, Or was I too slow and second best? I always knew this day would come, I've got some th...

Stumbled around the block a thousand times You missed every call that I had tried So now I'm giving up A heartbreak in mid December You don't give a fuck You never remember me While you're pulling on his jeans Getting lost in the big city I was looking...

Disrupted they keep dividing The government is lying I'm not going to be a Pharisee of this society Turn off your TV station That's not real information Trying to define the human mind It's like puppetry And they've got you by your strings Playing God...

I've been stuck in the middle pages, Hung up on a cross that I created, Built out of the bones that I've been breaking. The sign you said you needed, Is there but you can't see it. You might be down and out but you're still breathing. If you write the s...

I'll say goodnight, In the morning I will wake up to a blinding light, And curse all my mistakes And say I'm not what you think, I'll break all the links, I'll ignore all the exit signs Cause you've had your own mountains to climb And I've got skeleton...

Oh, what a time to be alive! Wake up and smell the dynamite. And keep your eyes locked tight to your screen, And don't believe everything that you see, You'll find, modern life's a catastrophe. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be fa...

Run for your train or you might miss it But I know I'd miss you more So here's this song that I've been listening to It reminds me of you And I hope I don't drag you down 'Cause I'm starting to feel alright thanks to you And I hope this can all work out 'Caus...

What goes through your head Yeah my thoughts never stop I'm hanging by a thread It's too late she said And no I don't believe Things are always as they seem You proved this to me Forget the theory I've heard some heavy lies So say you're true And ta...

From up here this town don’t look so bad, I’m looking down at this place I hate and at least for a second it seems okay, But I’m not getting over it, Getting used to it, It’s been so long since everything seemed to fit , And it’s not a case of being scare...

I sat inside with a heavy heart Just wish you would think of me Are you listening? Ran round in circles ‘til after dark Didn't get very far Wasn't meant to be I never thought it would be this hard It feels like you walked through me I hope this comes b...

Sometimes, at night I let it get to me. And sometimes, I'm sure it gets to all of us. And last night it had me down, I'm feeling numb. I can try, but sometimes that is not enough. No, sometimes that is not enough. No, sometimes that is not enough. And s...

Sit still in the cold of February Hold my hand in the cemetery and you'll be safe And I know that this is only temporary And I don't think that it's helping anything And it's all fun and games until someone gets fucked up This will end in tears I could n...

This hole is getting deeper by the day, Digging for the words to say, So I can put things in perspective. Somewhere along the line I lost my way, Everything gets torn and frayed, You can put me in my place but I’ll never know where I stand. I’ll never...

It's been a few days since I saw you last, And there's a few things that I have to ask. So, the first is: do I hold you back? And, did I fuck up too many times? Found the bad I know you'd find. Just need some time and space, We've fallen out of place, B...

We couldn't wait for the days to get longer, Spend nights sitting up, wasting away All the shit that we did when we were younger, Think back and it feels like yesterday We were losing teeth, Stayed up again last night, talk some sense to me So it seems...

"The last place I want to be is home" Is what they all say, They say it like they know But every road leads home, And every exit takes somewhere I don't know And every city says it's burnt itself out, Everybody wants to be more than a face in the crowd...

It's time to kick the habit, I'm coming clean. It's been a hell of a ride but it's all caught up with me. And now I'm off track, Feel like I'm right back where I started, Sat on the kitchen floor all alone talking to a ghost About where we go when we go....

Have you noticed me lately? I know I’ve been vaguely twisting my words, To protect myself from failure, It’s just part of my nature to hide in my shell. I’m so sick of rain in July, And the fact that I’ll never get there on time. If I could show you a s...

It's another day Wanna get away from here There's a plane up on a runway Gonna run away from here Cause the rain is so terribly dull And it bores me Yeah misery adores me I want to break out and get away I want to just try and live for me Cause if we...

Dancing on the grave you made to hide me, Remove the pictures from the walls ‘Cos they're reminding you of all the things you try so hard to hide. She digs the grave, so she knows where she can find it. And I don't have much to offer, But had you loved m...

I'm coming home I'll be with you tomorrow, I'll see you soon I'll wake up next to you, As long as you still want me to Can't stand this place, Is there anything here left for me, beside your face? It's the only thing that's keeping me here So go on,...

Don't get too close That place is haunted Fear not the ghosts Cos she sent them running She sleeps beneath the surface Consorting with the serpents She strikes without a purpose A dark face in a corridor Deceptively beautiful She's watching you She...

Can you see what I have become I've grown so cold I'm getting numb Down to the bone Because being real never worked out for me Playing these games is such a waste of time Somewhere down the line We'll just do this again I wish you could take me Or leav...

The leaves fell off as I did, I guess it held some kind of meaning. I've been lying in this bed of nails, That let the wind out of my sails. She left me on the bridge she's burning; Hell, maybe I deserve it. I'm just trying to find my purpose, I hope th...

The feeling starts to sink in, But it's beginning to rust, Still hanging onto the things that we discussed, But the point that was made isn't said and done... Now the sun shines so bright, but it won't shine for you, You remind me of rain in July And th...

Take me back to the ocean, Feel warm sand beneath your feet, Emotion -- escaping from reality, If I could only begin to explain All my flaws, all my fears All my stupid mistakes, Could you still see past all the things I hide away And my poor choice of...

I felt the weather getting better, but I couldn't feel my feet I always felt so cold in your company I guess that maybe we should settle this Blame it all on me I don't care anymore, wont you please just let me be? Bend the rules until they break You always k...

Sat on the stack, held it all back, Let it all go to prevent a crack, And it seems I miss you dearly. Youth on my side, so I'll find the time, I'll grow up someday but for now I'm fine, I just wish that you were near me. Glory days oh glory days behind m...

I'm coming to the conclusion I think I would rather be Anyone else but me This straight jacket chokes me of addiction This tightrope is swaying in the wind And it's a long way down No way out of this so I Oh, it's a long way down When the tension give...

I've had a steady stream of lonely nights For the past few weeks in this room I'm locked away from it all Just need a break from the walls that close me in I'll see this out standing on pins I'll fall asleep with my eyes open Just to see if I could focus...

Stare at the wall 'till my eyes fall out my head "Get out of bed" she said So self destructive Up in smoke, all came to nothing Being broke and lonely doesn't make much sense I wish you'd see my point of view You're so uptight, loosen your screws Try to find...

Six months have been and I'm still sick of everything that makes you smile, I've been here before, I'm just hoping this will die down, But I've learnt from experience, that love is a risk and I'm just hoping you're hearing this, So maybe you'll know just how i...

Pain, pain go away, Come back another day, I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me. I guess we'll never know, If when were gone there's a place to go. Or if we don't see anything at all, Is that what were supposed to call faith? Well if that...

Take it slow, tell me all how you've grown, just for me, could we all reminisce? Better yet, here's a pen, make a list, fill it's full of all the things I've missed Cause I could barely drive past the school, without stopping to think of you And how we use...

Can you feel it In the spaces all around and in between it Did you mean it When you said I hate you Cause I fucking believed it If you can't see the signs And I can't reach your mind I'd be scared of what I might find And I'm sorry I'll take the blame...

The wolves don't lose sleep over the cries of the sheep, They just laugh in their pack as they watch while we bleed Self-destruction is imminent, We all show our teeth, Watch the world fall apart, caught on CCTV Don't be so blind, The writing's on the w...
