Half life wastes before it goes It's funny how your bee sting touch never leaves me whole It's not enough to stay here almost trying You keep your last laugh watch this dying It's just half time vertigo And if you want an answer I don't know If you had completed me Don't think I'd be pleased with you Don't think I'd compete with you With half of me to take Half life nothing I'd call home It's lucky how these phantom limb bee stings never show It's not enough to leave this falling kindly You burn my star down twice as brightly It's just your half light undertow But if you need forgiveness I don't know Half light breaks with nothing wrong Just a corner of my bed where you don't belong It's kind of you to notice no one's dying You choked your last laugh almost crying It's just your half life long to know And if you need a reason so it goes
i’m playing games with your sex, with your ’lectric shocks learn to let myself loose and be the dummy in your snapshots i’m playing games learn to get on with your backward fans stick my body in the sun and help to get rid of the white tan
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
i’m playing games, marking names with the blackest thoughts if you’re building me up to be the target for your cheap shots i’m playing games keep a blind eye on the main chance strip my body of its skin and try to cancel out the white trash
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
i’m playing games if your aim is for the quick fix cos I know what you wanted and i know how you got it i’m playing games if you play i’m in the fast lane learn to jump into the road and learn to save a little lost face
And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me And maybe then you wouldn’t get so sick of me
See black, see bloom Died on an impulse over you Caught like a corpse Crawling round a dream and loving you And she hangs on youth Crushing any feet to fit the shoes Stepping it out with a size 12 mouth And cursing you
Small town witch come to mess me up Small town witch come to mess me up Small town witch come to mess me up again
She whored and she graced Bitching with the bottle, saving face Blowing it out as the jury's doubt is laid to waste See black, see bloom Choked up on a heartburn, bleeding through How does it feel when the ones that feed are biting you
Small town witch come to mess me up Small town witch come to mess me up Small town witch come to mess me up again
Don’t look now, we’re branded, we’re the black sheep Sewn apart and Siamese - The black sheep When the water seems too deep The shadows always wait beneath But laughing loud we brave the role of black sheep
If you see me you’ll be crossing the street Or kick me and then leave me to bleed If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but I take what it needs to be easy With the black sheep now With the black sheep now
Don’t look now we’re stranded here as black sheep Swallowed whole and out of reach, the black sheep Unsafe enough for now We’re shepherded from higher ground But drowned all out we saved the role of black sheep
If you see me you’ll be crossing the street Or kick me and then leave me to bleed If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but I take what it needs to be easy With the black sheep now With the black sheep now
If you see me you’ll be crossing the street Or kick me and then leave me to bleed If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but I take what it needs to be easy
If you see me you’ll be crossing the street (if you see me you’ll be crossing the street) Or kick me and then leave me to bleed (or kick me and then leave me to bleed) If looks could kill wouldn’t need all the pills but I take what it needs to be easy with the black sheep now With the black sheep now With the black sheep now With the black sheep now With the black sheep now

You're so loretta young silks, fashioning your self escape You're so loretta young silks, trading on your super waif All style before content, using me as bait You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate
Soft focus for full appeal, pictured as flawless No context for self esteem, I'd be pushed to give your love on that As far as the eye can see: too much perfection Pure substance for wannabes, keeps you beating to a click-track heart

M'aidez, throw aways, some things here have got to stay A string of pearls, the strangest girl is happy when the western world Painless Chinese burns, ties me down with daisy chains Diamonds on her tongue and pleasure cuts and teasing
M'aidez this is my m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet M'aidez this my m'aidez, m'aidez
Dead songs, half way home, still life lived on mobile phones But the girl had wings and precious things under sheets with tangled limbs Wide awake at dawn the sun won't choose to shine on
Silence says it all And reaching up and blessing
M'aidez this is my m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet M'aidez this my m'aidez, m'aidez
The higher we climb the smaller we seem, mad with possibility No design zig zag girl is happy with the western world Painless Chinese burns, ties me down with daisy chains Diamonds on her tongue and pleasure cuts and teasing
M'aidez this is my m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet M'aidez this my m'aidez, m'aidez

Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon So, you had me going too; any day I've the taste just laughed On a week of solar wings, getting off on electro-flesh All the boys and all the girls, making out; we're taking turns The sound was going down, I could see how Jesus wept
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come to soon Watching movies, true blue movies Get on the gospel train for my lord has come to soon Watching movies, true blue movies
Exposure on a TV screen, Technicolor rainbow kiss Bruises on his solar plexus, baby-faced the biting lips All the boys and all the girls, cutting noise with instant thrills Insects on incest friends, heaven dressed the Judas film
Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon Watching movies, true blue movies Get on the gospel train for my lord has come too soon Watching movies, true blue movies
So, whatever happened to love talk and polite remarks? Mind willing and her body weak, she's a star in a galaxy of real go fast I'm the boy on all the girls Taking off their Bible belts, storm girls on self destruct And I can see how Jesus felt

So did the sympathy for me start to fade? When your conscience is down A fix paranoia scars when I need all So did you ever see the north get so grey? Swallows me up, hollows the language in my last lungs So which fucking ape is on you today? That's what my head wakes up and says when I crumble
I'm the aim To suffocate and blame You gave less Than you tried to possess All the greed Is nothing that I need If you can't face the grazes
I can't face the grazes I cannot contain this I can't fake the traces I can't face the grazes
So the fever that I got stole my name It opened me up, twisted my bones Now I'm nothing I knew the second time that I saw your face The city lit up was bleeding its gifts Now I'm sinking Just another lonely box beneath her bed A mark on her back, a bruise in her head Had she fallen, had she fallen That is what she wished she had said Two traces of time were riding the spine Was it worth it?
I'm the aim To suffocate and blame You gave less Than you tried to possess All the greed Is nothing that I need If you can't face the grazes
I can't face the grazes I cannot contain this I can't fake the traces I can't face the grazes I can't face the grazes I can't face the grazes I can't face the grazes...

Ok, you had sedatives and cold champagne They say 'that must be the price of fame' It's not a joke if you can choke on the thought of it You're not my friend to defend if you're loving it So Kurt I heard that you squeezed somebody's hand It doesn't hurt if you think about your fans
Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again want your heroes dead
So high, if you think of the fans So high, if you think of the fans
Ok, they got your file down at the CIA. They say you're worse than Manson for the USA It's not grief if you can see through the source of it It's only true if you're bruised by the force of it So Kurt I heard that you opened up your eyes They call it work but it don't make it civilised
Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again want your heroes dead
Ok, time takes your cigarette They say it puts it in your mouth then you'll forget No longer "live 105" can you hear me The life expectancy of any popularity So Kurt I heard that the side-show bet your life It doesn't hurt but the worst go nevermind
Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again like it's oxygen Kiro TV They've got their visions again want your heroes dead

It takes too much to please me Attached but no real feeling High fives and corporate anthems Nothing comes to mind
Kitemarked for true low standards Where more wants all and no less Just change with no real progress Nothing comes to mind I want higher But nothing comes to mind
Give me a low five I can't help myself I'm a low five downsize no one else Do you love yourself?
Altered states and egos Potential less than zero Found God in San Diego Nothing comes to mind
I half expect to find myself In full control of nothing else Lost hope but learnt to hopeless Nothing comes to mind I want higher But nothing comes to mind
Strike you down give me everything you've got Strike me down I'll be everything I'm not Count the questions on one hand you don't ask me what I planned Strike me down should have asked me what went wrong Strike me down should have stayed away too long
Strike me down give it everything you've got Chance me now I'll be everything I'm not Hope's the child of what luck brings Points the faith in higher things Ask me now fire at everything at once Strike me down take it any way you want
Strike me down better left it all unknown Shout me down should have left it all alone Wash the questions off my hands I'm the fate in no one's plans Strike me down give it everything you've got Strike me down I'll be everything I'm not
I know you know my head's not in this now Nothing you could keep so keep me down Like the stones beneath the water that you walk on to be taller The hands you stuck together when you prayed you'd wait forever Just another fragile angel heart Falling down on lead wings torn apart
The words beneath my skin The ink that put you in Destroying all the things you left around Earthbound coming down
So what you have the nerve to call a friend Is starved of all the sense to make amends I'm the glass you break to touch but you never want me much Like the view across the water from the shoes and two feet smaller I know it doesn't pay to be this hurt Falling off the morning getting worse
