"Confession"

"Confession"


Listen up
This is confession
This machine motion is sure to break my heart

Listen up
This is confession
Recorded music sticks in the throat of God.

I O U, you don't own me
I O U, you don't own me
Party time, one mor night, everybody's affected

Listen up
This is confession
You are a poison that flows into my veins.

Listen up
This is confession
I've never been so scared of letting you down.

You know me, so come closer
You know me, so come closer
Party time, one more town, everybody's affected.

I know you, you don't need me
I know you, you don't need me
Party time, one more girl, everybody's affected

Listen up
This is confession
They tell me heaven just has to be somewhere

Listen up
This is confession
I'd lie to God if I could make him believe.

You owe me, and I need you
You owe me, and I need you
Party time, one more game, everybody's affected

This is my confession
This is my confession
Party time, one more lie, everybody's affected

"Conversation"

"Conversation"


Oh it's so easy
When parts take over
My conversation
Is nothing more than lies

You're just the viewer
So cold and distant
I've no intentions
Of saying "I love you"

My conversation

We are not gods
We are not men
We are not making claims
We are only boys

You are not strong
You are not force
You are not regular
You are just wrong

There are no faces
This is my complex
You are my picture
I call you 'mirrors'

These are not my tears
Not my reflection
Am I a photo?
I can't remember

My conversation

"Crash"

"Crash"


Don't things change
Don't we all
What's it like to
Crash? The driver

Nothing more to prove
So please just send in the machines
We know little of celebrations
And how things are with you
You're hung up on time
You're hung up on age
Now there's me
Now there's me
What is it like to
Crash? The driver

You drink to rumours and talk
About someone new in your bed
There is no game to win so
Get out as fast as you can

Hung up on 'the time'
Hung up on 'my age'
You don't know
You don't know
What it's like to
Crash? The driver

"Crazier"

"Crazier"


The more I take a look inside, the more I pried
The more I understand the ride, the more I slide
The more you put me back in line, the more I tried
The more you looked into my eyes, the more you lied.

I come back crazier, but feel much better.
You come back crazier, you'll feel better.

The more I disregard the signs, the more I fly,
The more I walk across the lines, the more I glide.

You come back crazier, but feel much better.
You come back crazier, you'll feel better.

I come back crazier, but feel much better.
You come back crazier, you'll feel better.

"Creatures"

"Creatures"


I need it
The sex skin habit
You could just crawl out
And forget I'm here

I need it
Love and something
I'd just as soon forget
So keep it out the papers

I need it
'The sex musicians'
I'll show you 'something'
While the boys beat time

I need it
And she's still waiting
We like to wake up
In a strange bed romance

One more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
Please one more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
I'm talking far too much about my shame

I need it
Creatures calling
I'll tear my heart out
But I need some more

I need it
I'm under pressure
I don't remember
If her story's true

 

[fox69]

"Cry"

"Cry"


I don't cry
Or forget
I'll cut my picture on your heart
No names
You've got one more game to lose

I was young
I was clean
But now my soul eats me alive
I was kind
Now I'm your first big mistake

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

She sold pain
She sold mine
She sold my secret to the man
She sold lies
And so now I break the word

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

Tear up my picture
Tear up my face
You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe

Look back in anger
Look back and cry
Look up my number if you want to know why

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

Same need
Same cure
I'll whisper words to ease your shame
Play time
I've got one more trick for you

I don't pray
Wrong man
I don't look for love that I don't need
Wrong place
You've got one more chance to leave

"Cry Baby"

"Cry Baby"


I don't cry
Or forget
I'll cut my picture on your heart
No names
You've got one more game to lose

I was young
I was clean
But now my soul eats me alive
I was kind
Now I'm your first big mistake

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

She sold pain
She sold mine
She sold my secret to the man
She sold lies
And so now I break the word

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

Tear up my picture
Tear up my face
You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe

Look back in anger
Look back and cry
Look up my number if you want to know why

"Cry, The Clock Said"

"Cry, The Clock Said"


Why cry now
It's over
Feelings change

How are you
Now am I
Cry, the clock said

I know little of romance
And these little tract houses
I know seven less of you
And if you should ever think of me
Maybe as a game you lost

Well someone I know lost the whole damn world
No more this talk of they're out to get me
Just slide out of Sydney and I can never go back

How could I be surprised
How could I even believe
Cry, the clock said

I'll forget who you are
I'll forget one of these days
Cry, the clock said

 

[fox69]

"Dance"

"Dance"


No more than chance,
I'm told it's quite surprising
I could walk out and just impress myself
I need to hurt,
I need to crash for my sake
You are something
that I could do without

And I could always
take the pills and leave
But you have to stay awake
to stay away
And I would die for you
And I would cry too
And I would sing like rain
And I would find you

I dream of rumours
like a favourite pastime
With conversation like
"I need to breathe"
This celebration makes me
crawl away and hide
And you must know that
I would die for you

And I could always
take the pills and leave
But you have to stay awake
to stay away
And I will die for you

 

[fox69]

"Dark"

"Dark"


I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith
And the word to fall.
Now the darkness comes
And I'll pray for
The end of us all.

Don't let the dark into me
We killed the angels that warned us of you
Don't let the dark into me
We raised the tower of Babel for you
Don't let the dark into me
We let the children build temples for you
Don't let the dark into me
Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you

So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease,
Look down into the face of God.
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
Kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter,
Who said I'd save anyone?
So bleed for me, I need hostility
To lead the faithful and the blind.

Don't let the light shine on me
I am the poison that feeds life to you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the demon that waits inside you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the ghost that reminds death of you
Don't let the light shine on me
I am the darkness that crawls into you
