SHE'S IN PAIN

I came to wish you well I came to give you these I drink to happy days and the death of disease
and another life has started up inside so congratulations and I hope it's alright
It makes me feel like a pin-prick or a prick anyway cause I was always so sure that everyone was O.K.
Will it go away is it safe to say how do you keep on smiling on the darkest day.

I'VE GOT A SECOND SKIN I'VE GOT A WILL TO WIN WHERE DO I BEGIN
I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING

When you try to laugh it only hurts inside but he makes you laugh because he has to hide
behind a comfy chair just like when he was five I find it hard to laugh because we need you alive.
It's got to be automatic not a second thought on the tip of the tongue because we need you alot
when you started to stutter it was insecure there was a sense of something like you wasn't sure.

I'VE GOT A SECOND SKIN etc.
SHE'S IN PAIN.


HELLO

Bored and backstabbed I hate your friends
I won't miss them they don't listen

I WANT TO FREEWHEEL A WHILE IT'S EASY
AND NO-ONE TAKES ANY NOTICE

Curse my luck I'm stuck here with them
I dream all day of what I'm missing

I GOING TO FREEWHEEL A WHILE IT'S EASY
MAYBE I'LL TAKE OUT THE TIME TO SAY
HELLO I'M ALONE ARE YOU ALONE TOO

Got my blisters burning bridges
I want to show you why I did this

I GOING TO FREEWHEEL A WHILE IT'S EASY
AND NO-ONE TAKES ANY NOTICE
I'M GOING TO FREEWHEEL ALL DAY I'M LAZY
MAYBE I'LL TAKE OUT THE TIME TO SAY
HELLO I'M ALONE ARE YOU ALONE TOO


TRY HARD TO BE PSYCHIC

Honestly the time has come to make amends
I'm going to let you understand

All is clear all is well in my head can't you tell
If you want crawl inside I'll be fair and open wide

I'm going to let you understand I'm going to let you think you can
I had a heart it had it's say I cut it out and threw it away

DO YOU WANT TO READ MY MIND THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU FIND

Honesty is killing me but one by one
I'm going to let you understand

For today you get what you want for tomorrow you'll get what you want
Take your time embrace the pain it feels like you're alive again

I'm going to let you understand etc.

DO YOU WANT TO READ MY MIND THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU FIND

And try to be patient or psychic or anything.


MENTAL BRUISING FOR BEGINNERS

Inside the book there was a bad idea who's fertile seed led to my phone call
I'm glad you came I think you saved me there It's good to know I'm not the only one

ONE DAY THE DOOR OPENED AND I FELL THROUGH

And who'd have thought that we could be like this so dead inside with no desire at all
You felt the pain of everyone today or so it seemed how dare we feel so small.

Kissed on my hollow lips and it gave me no pleasure
If someone can help me here won't you please go and get her
Dreamed for a day or two that I was much better

Healed by the breath of time so sweetly he sighs
Knowing all there is to know but telling us lies
He toyed with our innocence why don't we open our eyes

YOU WERE NEVER ALONE


IGNORAMUS

Mummy said on days like these life's a candle in the breeze

I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT THEY'RE FOOLING WITH ME
THEY'RE TRYING TO DRAIN ME OF MY DIGNITY

That's why I want to fly away for more than just a holiday

I'M THE LAST BORN AN IGNORAMUS
I'M THE RUNT THAT MADE THE A-LIST
I WANT TO FLY AWAY

Please, please release me let me go I've told you all you need to know
Let me be somebody new a little girl with eyes so blue

Life's a drag I bought a bag from a one armed man in Nottingham
I got my clothes and my toothbrush I just got paid I'm feeling flush


THE SENSUAL ART OF SUFFOCATION

Deflated and despised and you have every reason I feel a little sick

And we don't have to talk much there's a certain ratio it's delicate I know

ALL THE WHILE YOUR ADORATION
IS ALL MISPLACED HAS NO RELATION
DON'T DESPAIR I WANT YOU MORE OR LESS

If you're feeling greater your sentiments are noted but you never should have said

You're speaking out in volumes and speaking out of turn you'll suffocate me.


CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE PERVERT

Hate with a vengeance my sentiment ever since I can't remember when
Kissing all the girls at my cousins birthday think I might be in trouble again

IF THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT
I'M NAKED IN THIS GARDEN
TRY TO LEARN ALOT BUT I JUST FORGOT THE MEMORY CAN BE A BURDEN

Get behind the curtains take another look I feel completely incomplete
Is it really normal to have these urges keep them under your clean bedsheets

Come outside I like the cold air sends a shiver across my skin
Look me up and down for an explanation I don't have a problem with the state I'm in

I CONFESS TO NOTHING

Got myself a second hand education morality grew like a wart on me
I don't want to listen to your bold confession go away and be what you have to be.


GET ALONG

Someone could have said they're sorry instead of snapping away
Someone better say they're sorry have you got something to say

WHY DON'T WE SHARE A SMOKE AND HAVE A HEART TO HEART
AND MABYE FIGURE OUT JUST WHERE THE TROUBLE STARTS
WHY DON'T WE GET IT RIGHT WHY DON'T WE GET ALONG

But summertime made me lazy as it came and went
And summertime drove you crazy on a dark descent

I heard a sigh of resignation your idea of a joke
So while I was laughing with you I thought that maybe you'd choke
'Cause it's a little hard to swallow what we didn't achieve
Is every single generation so fabulously naïve


THE PENNY DROPPED

Never before the sweet sunrise had looked so pretty through my ugly eyes

WHILE I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY THE TRUTH CAN BE SO HARD ON ME

You pushed me in a corner and said it felt strange so please don't expect that nothing will change

Little by little they're falling apart I'd gather the pieces but where do you start

I don't need a trophy to go with the pain I'll nurture the memory it's growing again.


PINK

Because there's someone else because your mental health
Will suffer little more tears flow just like before
When are you going to stop crying
You can't keep it up all the time

NO I DIDN'T KNOW IT COULD BE LIKE THIS
NO I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS SERIOUS

Your whisper is divine can I hear it all the time
What did I ever do it was always down to you

I remember how you taste your bad breath upon my face
Words failed me wait and see what will be still may be
It's not what we became forever it was the same

I can't say it to your face so I'll say it here instead
You're living with a memory remember the end remember.


REARRANGE YOU

I WANT TO REARRANGE YOU I WANT SOME GRATITUDE
I WANT TO REARRANGE YOU DO YOU THINK I SHOULD

DON'T CRY IT HURTS ME TO HURT YOU

I've got a gun and I've got a problem sensitivity sucks so hard
You make me sweat and it makes me smell bad no one ever thought I'd go far

And as a youth you were prone to acne and everybody was taller than you
The odd occasion on which you're happy is when you're doing things you shouldn't do.


LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE

I'll lick the polish from your shoes
I'm feeling good and so should you be too

That's your first mistake presuming I desire a break
'cause I don't care your sympathetic ears will bleed

The smoke will stop me seeing red
I did so much I'm like the living dead

Once upon a time when I was young and in my prime
There seemed a point but now it's blunt and I feel high

LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE
Baby we were born to lose
SO LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE
It may be all you've got and if it is then that's your lot so enjoy

I'm not that good at anything
I'm feeling sorry for myself again

If it's understood that I am bad and you are good
Then leave me be to wallow in my red wine sea

LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE etc.
It may be all you've got and if it is then that's your lot
so enjoy the sensation of your mental liberation right now

My memory is like a sieve
I can forget but not forgive myself

As a consequence the punishment is my pretence
of pained regret a thin veneer which can appear
as I require do you understand the attitude the fascination
and the desire to make yourself feel good

LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE etc.

It may be all you've got and if it is then that's your lot
so enjoy the sensation of your mental liberation and feel
a little better you deserve it you're a fucking star.


LOUD AND CLEAR

It's unlikely that you'll like me kind of twisted and unhappy
drink my poison filled with hatred can I hit you I'm frustrated

I CAN HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR SWALLOW WHOLE MY ANAL FEAR
WITH EMOTIONS BITTER FIST STRIKE ME DOWN I WON'T BE MISSED

Hold a torch to all my virtues try to burn them maybe turn them
Into something unrelated an opinion antiquated

And the pages that provoked me didn't realize what they told me
Fascinating and unnerving I'm ashamed and undeserving.
