Manic

I’ve been waking in a panic panic
Thinking ‘bout ya like an addict addict
I can’t seem to break the habit
Just one taste, you know I gotta have it
Lost my head, now it’s off the planet
Lately I’ve been feeling kinda manic
AHH!
Living life in automatic ‘matic
Spending money like I have it have it
I just need a little magic
Cause I’m over dramatic-matic
Aren’t we all just a little damaged?
Yeah we could go and wreak some havoc
So break me in
I need some guidance
Shed some skin
(And pull me in again)
I need something
So hold me close now
Drench me in sin
(Drench me, drench me...)
Feeling sick with jealousy
This has never happened to me
Fighting hard to keep my sanity
Cold nights turning up the heat
Put that body on repeat
You’ve got some nerve asking ‘what are you doing to me?’
What are you doing to me?
Break me in
I need some guidance
Shed some skin
(Pull me in again)
I need something
So hold me close now
Drench me in sin
(Drench me in sin)
You got me now yeah I’m an addict
Had a taste, now a habit
Ooh I need it, gotta have it
Gotta have it, gotta have it
Help me out I’m feeling manic

Take Me Out
03:26
|

My friends tell me to slow it down
But they don’t know what they’re talking about
I’ve been feeling good after few beers
And I know it’s not long until you get here
I’m picturing you and all we’re gonna do
I’ve got a one track mind for the weekend
I catch you stare and turn away again
I looked up and now you’re moving in
The night’s fading fast
But trust me baby it’s just begun!
So take me out
I’ve been working all week and I’m aching
Let’s paint this town
Everything’s getting hazy I’ve been dreaming of your body
Your body pressed up next to mine
Against the brick wall down the side of Cherry Bar
So take me home tonight, I wanna feel alive
You take my hand and you pull me close
The sweat is clinging to our clothes and
Your hands are searching and they’re lingering
Can’t believe the things you’re whispering
Now the scent of cigarette still lingers in your hair
I still taste of gin on the back of my tongue and I’m ready to forget again
So take me out
I’ve been working all week and I’m aching
Let’s paint this town
Everything’s getting hazy I’ve been dreaming of your body
Your body pressed up next to mine
Against the brick wall down the side of Cherry Bar
I’ll take you home tonight, I wanna feel alive
With not just anyone
Only you
I can feel your restless
You can’t control my hands
So come in a little closer so I can throw you back down again
I’m waking Monday morning and I’m thinking of you again
I can’t control these things in my head
So take me out
I’ve been working all week and I’m aching
Let’s paint this town
Everything’s getting hazy I’ve been dreaming of your body
Your body pressed up next to mine
Against the brick wall down the side of Cherry Bar
So take me home tonight, I wanna feel alive

All the words I still can’t say
They haunt me everyday
Home alone procrastinating
Air is still, mind is racing
Spiraled thoughts debilitating
Getting lost in moments tracing
How I couldn’t see the love was fading
You still look like comfort
If I could change I’d change for you
I know it hurts but I can't keep lying
You know me I couldn’t play it safe
It has to end this way
We lit a fire now it's burnt through
I tried my best but I can't keep fighting
It’s the end let me walk away
I need you to need you to
Please let me walk away
Now it’s time we need to wake up
To see what’s crumbled all around us
(And no ones come to save us)
And I know I need to face up
To all those wars I thought I’d won
(And all the damage that you’ve done)
Tell me where all the love has gone
You know I want to want you I want to
If I could change I’d change for you
I know it hurts but I can't keep lying
You know me I couldn’t play it safe
It has to end this way
We lit a fire now it's burnt through
I tried my best but I can't keep fighting
It’s the end let me walk away
I need you to need you to
I can’t help that your heart keeps pulling you away
I’m stuck in the mess you made and I hate the fact I feel this way
Feel this way
If I could change I’d change for you
I know it hurts, but you can't keep lying
I know you couldn’t play it safe
Did it have to end this way?
We lit a fire now it's burnt through
Now I can see there's no point fighting
If its the end then let me walk away
I need you to
If I could change I’d change for you
I know it hurts but I can't keep lying
You know me I couldn’t play it safe
It has to end this way
We lit a fire now it's burnt through
I tried my best but I can't keep fighting
It’s the end let me walk away
I need you to need you to

Here Again

No one knows I hold the key
To unlock insanity
Your choke hold on me
The one that no one else can see
It’s lifting me
Oh its lifting me
My comfort in control
My tainted mortal soul
Oh how I’ve come to know
I reap just what I sow
Lately I’ve been feeling so low
I found my self floating out here again
Feeling like the point of all this is pain
But how can I be outside looking in?
Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim
This creaking floor under my feet
This silent house, it cripples me
Messy head and frozen sheets
Madly will myself to sleep
But through my mind your image creeps
I deserve this cause I messed up
I deserve this cause Im fucked up
I found my self floating out here again
Feeling like the point of all this is pain
But how can I be outside looking in?
Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim
Something in you
Brings out something in me
I want to deny
But it feels so real
Something in you
It helps me to see
Now I realise
You are me
I found my self floating out here again
Feeling like the point of all this is pain
But how can I be outside looking in?
Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim
I found my self floating out here again
Feeling like the point of all this is pain
But how can I be outside looking in?
Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim
To the floor I swim

My Solace Ain't Here
06:36
|

I don’t know how you found me
But now you surround me
Yeah you live under my skin
And when I try to reach ya
And all I get is silence
That’s when it begins to sink its teeth in
You tore the path on which I stood
Got me so high, you blinded me
I could fly for a little while
Then I crashed back to earth in your gravity
My solace ain’t here
I still feel the echoes of your love
My conscience ain’t clear
My soul it wasn’t enough for ya
Laid out my weaponry
Let you see all parts of me
You know the pleasures that I seek
This life it teaches tough love
This love has me tasting blood
And now my body, my mind is weak
Your shadow still wanders through
All the futures I see, I see
Am I even on your mind?
I think about it all the time
You’re so far away from me
My solace ain’t here
I still feel the echos of your love
My conscience ain’t clear
My soul it wasn’t enough for ya
Didn’t mean to trap you here
Asking myself, how could anyone-
Love a monster like me
You're only human
I should let you leave
You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I need you around
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm begging you to stay
Cause I need you, you know I'll leave you
But not today
You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I need you around
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm begging you to stay
Cause I need you
But I'll leave you, but not today
Don't break me down
I need you now
You tease me, you bleed me
You bring me down
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I need you around
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm begging you to stay
Cause I need you, I need you
But not today

Talking In Your Sleep
05:06

If walls could murmur secrets
I’d make them cave in
At night I’m lying sleepless
He whispers what’s within
The rise and fall of your chest
Forehead covered in sweat
I can’t connect
What’s in your head?
I can’t rest
You haven’t told me yet
You haven’t told me
Let me see behind your lonely walls
I will love you, I will love it all
Your eyes tell more than you can keep
Beside me talking in your sleep
Won’t you grant me entry to though this door
You don’t have to lock it anymore
How many secrets can you keep?
Beside me talking in your sleep
Baby what’s got your tongue?
If I’m the only one why hold back?
Why can’t I set you free from whatever tragedy dwells inside your precious heart?
No more smoke and mirrors baby
Don’t you run from me
Don’t hide it don’t fight it
When darkness clouds your days
You hide all away
Rain or shine I still need you here
Let me see behind your lonely walls
I will love you, I will love it all
Your eyes tell more than you can keep
Beside me talking in your sleep
Won’t you grant me entry to though this door
You don’t have to lock it anymore
How many secrets can you keep?
Beside me talking in your sleep
If you’re feeling like escaping
We could run to the sea
Leave this world behind so you can breathe!
And if you’re hating what’s in the mirror
Just turn and look at me
There something out there better for us baby
Don’t say ‘I’m sorry’
Just say something true
I’m light years away
Lying next to you
We all have secrets baby
We all know shame
Feel those things we shouldn’t
We’re all the same
I want it all
