Personal Judas
03:04
|
|||
You said you'd make a religion out of me
And I am sorry I'm not the person that you wanted me to be
And I was so upset that I finally said what I meant
Then you claim let's be friends, what a dumb sentiment
Oh, you said you'd worship the ground under my feet
So once again is history doomed to repeat
And so I'll try to please any way that I can
Only to catch you in the act with some other man
You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamn useless
You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamned
I ain't your messiah, no, ain't your Muhammed or your Buddha
And I don't reckon that I look one goddamned thing like Jesus shoulda
Oh you build me so far up, just to bring me right back down
You weave dry thorns and thistles and you gift me a crown
Isn't it funny how when I wasn't there
Standing right in front of you you're on some love affair
It's ironic how you've lost all of your faith
Oh, my friend you've gone and you have lost all your faith
You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamn useless
You're my own personal Judas
Don't know why that I do this
I've made a million excuses
Why am I so goddamned

Medicate Me
03:13
|
|||
I'm done with this trial
Of abstinent regression
I'm so sick of my denial
Of my aching depression
Need some little white pills
So I can feel some thrills
No more up and down
Just get up and now
This prescription makes me disavow
All the problems that I would allow
To plague my mind
To sit resigned
And to remind me of the failure that I have myself defined by
So medicate me, to save me
Oh please just fucking hate me
Medicate me, and save me
Oh why don't you you hate me
Medicate me, and save me
I want you to hate me
So just hate me and hate me
Give me some and save me
I hear them all the time you know
I hear them all the time you know
I hear them all the time you know
I hear them all the time you know
To the man behind the shutters
It's so cold and sharp I shudder
I'm a boat without a rudder
Yeah, why do I even bother?
When I hear my name,
There's only fear and shame
Because the voices are all the same
It's in my head
It's all the dread
It'll all stop when I am dead
So medicate me, to save me
Oh please just fucking hate me
Medicate me, to save me
Oh why don't you you hate me
Medicate me, and save me
I want you to hate me
So just hate me and hate me
Give me some and save me
I feel lobotomised
I'm anaesthetised
I'm almost always preoccupied
What is inside
My plaguing mind
That makes me wanna
I feel lobotomised
I'm anaesthetised
I'm almost always preoccupied
What is inside
My plaguing mind
That makes me wanna

Frangipani Tears
03:31
|
|||
Lilac skin
The scent of gin
When are you gonna let me in
Smoky eyes
A vague disguise
One day you're gonna realise that
My coast is clear
We're crying frangipani tears
We'll shed them here my dear
My dear, my dear, my dear
Long black dress
You're a ball of stress
Always on a second guess
Cold hard stare
It clears the air
Do you have to be so unfair to see that
My coast is clear
We're crying frangipani tears
We'll shed them here my dear
My dear, my dear, my dear
You've been wanting me forever
But you reckon love ain't in your cards
We could make it through the weather
Just put down your guard
Gypsy water never seemed so appealing
Just makes you wanna dive right in
Don't you wanna know of that feeling?
Let me show you all of sin to see that
My coast is clear
We're crying frangipani tears
We'll shed them here my dear
My dear, my dear, my dear
My coast is clear
We're crying frangipani tears
We'll shed them here my dear
My dear, my dear, my dear

Had Too Much
03:42
|
|||
And this whisky really numbs my gums
And this party makes me wanna come undone
And so I'm satisfied with you on my arm
And to think I tried to resist your charm
You put another drink right in my hand
There ain't no need to think, I wouldn't understand
I think I've had enough, you keep me wanting more
I'm feeling pretty rough, I might pass out on the floor
I think I've gone and had enough
I think I've gone and drank too much
I think I might be throwing up
Tie my hair back and I'll just let it run
I wanna jive, wanna jive
Just not on my dime
I wanna die, wanna die
What's another rhyme
I wanna drive, wanna drive
That would be a crime
I feel alive, feel alive
Well not all of the time
Well not all of the time
Well not all of the...
You bring me right to tears, into myself I sink
Separate all my fears from this cup that I drink
Separate reality from hypothetical things
I'm lacking clarity with your rhetorical slings
Tell me to find reprieve in another's embrace
No, I could not believe all those words from your face
There could be no one else who could make my heart so quick
I gotta excuse myself I think I'm gonna be sick
I think I've gone and had enough
I think I've gone and drank too much
I think I might be throwing up
Tie my hair back and I'll just let it run
I wanna jive, wanna jive
Just not on my dime
I wanna die, wanna die
What's another rhyme
I wanna drive, wanna drive
That would be a crime
I feel alive, feel alive
Well not all of the time
Well not all of the time
Well not all of the time
Well not all of the time
Well not all of the...

Leave It To Me
05:32

Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Well, I'm just trying to please you
Prove I'm not the disease you think I am
You're all so temperamental
It's all so confidential you don't give a damn
So give me all of your worst
And have me shoulder your curse it don't mean a thing
Cause nothing around here has changed
Just keep on acting estranged you got me feeling the sting
If all I am is to fill empty space
Then all I want is to leave this place
If all I am is to fill empty space
Then all I want is to leave this
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
So leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it all up to me
You've got a spotlighted role
In wearing down on my soul you're tearing me apart
Leaving me right on the brink
With no time given to blink just go and trample my heart
If all I am is to fill empty space
Then all I want is to leave this place
If all I am is to fill empty space
Then all I want is to leave this
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
So leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it to me
Leave it all up to me
And all your expectations of me
Leaves me catching my breath
And I'm so fucking sick and tired
That I'm gonna be sleeping with death
And I'm all skin and bones
Take a look and see
I won't let myself take a fucking break
So leave it all to me
