JEKYLL & HYDE

I fucked it up again today,

for the millionth last time.

I’m struggling to figure out,

why I keep crossing the line.

I find it hard so many times,

to keep control over me.

‘Cause I know what I want,

is what I’ll never be.

I’m just trying to make some sense,

of why I‘m here once again.

No matter what I seem to do,

I always end up back here.

I’m scared of what I could become,

‘cause I don’t know how I’ll turn.

I ask myself every day,

when will I ever learn.

I wanna feel something more than what I’m feeling,

I wanna feel something real.

I don’t care how I get to where I wanna be,

‘Cause I just wanna feel.

I’m turning back the way I should,

not like I was before.

No more of what I used to be,

nothing like that anymore.

But I know this will never stay,

I’ll end back in the dark side.

‘Cause when I think it’s over,

Jekyll turns into Hyde.

I wanna feel something more than what I’m feeling,

I wanna feel something real.

I don’t care how I get to where I wanna be,

‘Cause I just wanna feel.

　

　

　

COMING UP

Maybe I’m believing something that isn’t true,

but baby I don’t care about that.

And maybe I am seeing things I shouldn’t see,

but don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, cause I’ve got all it figured out.

So don’t cry ‘bout a thing, ‘cause nothing’s gonna let you down.

Yeah don’t cry ‘bout a thing, ‘cause the boy’s gonna help you out.

We fall all day, but I don’t mind,

and we’re scarred for life, but it feels alright,

I don’t know what to say, but my mouth won’t shut,

and I’m feeling good, I’m coming up.

Well I’m just trying to break on through to the other side,

it’s easier said, then it is done.

And things are looking better than they were yesterday,

but that ain’t saying much when you see what went wrong.

So don’t cry ‘bout a thing, ‘cause nothing’s gonna let you down.

Yeah don’t cry ‘bout a thing, ‘cause the boys gonna help you out.

We fall all day, but I don’t mind,

and we’re scarred for life, but it feels alright,

I don’t know what to say, but my mouth won’t shut,

and I’m feeling good, I’m coming up.

We fall all day, but I don’t mind,

and we’re scarred for life, but it feels alright,

I don’t know what to say, but my mouth won’t shut,

and I’m feeling good, I’m coming up.

DIFFERENT CARS

I know,

we’re running away from it all,

we’ve been chasing our tails too long,

but now we’re rectified.

Sometimes,

I feel the ground shake,

and I feel like I will break,

break right into two.

These days of love are too far gone,

and I know I shouldn’t have done you wrong,

but I’ve changed, I’ve changed my wicked ways,

I’ve changed, I’ve changed.

These days of love are too far gone,

and I know I shouldn’t have done you wrong,

but I’ve changed, I’ve changed my wicked ways,

I’ve changed, I’ve changed, I’ve changed.

Tonight,

we will be ours to keep,

you’ll be crying in your sleep,

but soon you’ll be alright.

Some days,

I feel like we are here,

but we’ve long disappeared,

we were never there.

These days of love are too far gone,

and I know I shouldn’t have done you wrong,

but I’ve changed, I’ve changed my wicked ways,

I’ve changed, I’ve changed.

These days of love are too far gone,

and I know I shouldn’t have done you wrong,

but I’ve changed, I’ve changed my wicked ways,

I’ve changed, I’ve changed.

I know,

we’re running away from it all

we’re driving on the same road,

but we’re in different cars.

　

　

YOU

You, you are the one, the one I will take, the one I’ll erase.

You, you will be mine, and later in time, I will be you.

So when, you fall my friend, I’ll catch you and then, I’ll throw you off again,

and when, you’re down and out, I’ll pick you up, then cast you out.

I, I will be here, to lend to your fear, and to swallow it too.

I, I will be yours, I’ll make you feel good, I’ll make you feel pure.

And when, you’re at the edge, you’ll feel me when, I push you again,

and when, you fall to the end, I’ll always be there, I’ll always be there.

You, you are what I, told you in time, would become of you,

and you, you’ve been with me, through everything, through everything.

So when, you’re at the end, you’ll call me friend, and ask for help again,

but now, you’ve reached that place, where I will erase, yes I will erase, you.

　

　

TURNED AWAY

It’s 3 o’clock on Monday morn, but we are not asleep,

‘cause we can’t get to the place we’ve always been.

We just keep on talking, but there’s nothing left to say,

we both know where we’re heading now.

And all the things you said before, they now mean nothing,

as we crumble to the silence of the night.

And I don’t know how you’re feeling, ‘cause you’re talking with no meaning,

but I can’t look back, no I can’t turn away.

Oh, we’re falling down again,

for the last time, we’re coming to an end,

And I can tell that we are rushing, to the finish line,

yes we have turned away.

As this flood of emotion rules me, it almost has consumed me,

and I’m waiting for a lifeboat to arrive.

All your words become distorted, as my mind is racing forward,

and back, and everywhere in between.

So why won’t you let our love grow, and why won’t you let our love show,

‘cause all these people still look out for you and me.

Please just won’t you look me in the eye, and tell me we will never die,

I wish you would, but you never will.

Oh, we’re falling down again,

for the last time, we’re coming to an end,

And I can tell that we are rushing, to the finish line,

yes we have turned away.

I’m sorry that I hurt you, if what you’ve said is true,

but I will not regret any little thing.

Now we both will go our separate ways, and as we drift and evaporate,

I can see it now, I can see the ending.

Oh, we’re falling down again,

for the last time, we’re coming to an end,

And I can tell that we are rushing, to the finish line,

yes we have turned away.

 

SOMEDAY
Well I can see through everything you say

You have that look inside your eyes

And every time you lead we go astray

Amidst a cloud of compromise 

So tell me every thought you have they seem

To keep the whole world spinning round

And I cannot pretend no more no more

And I will not append to yours to yours
And all there is to say I’ll say I’ll say some day

Image upon images of you

Leave me sick inside my mind

And every little thing you hold as truth

Begins to weigh down on our lives

So leave me as I scream out ‘let me go’

It is the least that you could do

And I will not adhere I pled I pled 

Keep me in the clear I beg I beg
And all there is to say I’ll say I’ll say somehow

Someday

Flashes of what you appear to be

Leave me sleepless here at night

And I pray to a god I don’t believe

In search of anything that might

Bring me to a conclusion while you

Are taken down for all your lies

 

SKYFALL
In the wakening you can see the fuse
And you’ll fall from God as you stand accused
In the headlights on the side roads
Comes the car crash with your heavy load

I’ve tried so hard to stand up straight with nothing to my name
but I can’t find the reason I need you to adulate
You are just a mannequin a puppet on a string
I’m tired of trying to live your life I’ve got other things to be

As the sky falls wrapped around your neck
Are the beautiful and their silhouettes
And the autumn wind and the winter rain
Come around for more to begin again

As you listen in to your soul you will realise you were wrong
And you’re paralyzed from your heart as it beats too fast to start

 

DRIFTING
I don’t mind if it hurts I just want to go
I’m poisoned by the feeling that they have given to me

And I don’t want to fight

But I will if I have to keep this going

I don’t think I can try anymore

It’s getting late in the day

and I don’t want to wait

For today I don’t mind we’re just ordinary people

Wasting time wasting precious time

In a way I am blind ‘cause we’re ordinary people

Wasting life wasting precious life

I have told you the truth you know how it is

You know it’s getting harder now

To act like nothing’s wrong somehow

When every day is a fight to hold on to your life
You wonder if you’re in it for all of the right reasons

Or are you just floating away

Are you drifting through the days

It’s getting late in the day and I

I don’t want to wait
And are you floating away
Are you drifting through the days

 

PLASTIC CUP
Happiness tenderness

See straight through me

All along I was wrong

I am truly a mess at best

But how was I to know

That fear itself would leave me here alone

Listen up plastic cup don’t you see that
You and I are defined by our weakness
And can’t you see how beautiful that is
That we will always have the room to build

The feeling never went away

It grew older but it never changed

And I’ll still love you tomorrow
And every single waking day

You seem to fly away

Even just a little bit further

Further away

 

OVER

Don’t stop I beg of you

It’s far too late to be abused

Come on don’t change your tune

I’ve felt those shocks again

Before I drift away I need you here to keep me sane
Before I fall again I ask of you don‘t change

You know I’ll keep on singing over over
You know I’ll keep on singing over over
Over the deafening whispers and silent screams
And so I’ll keep on singing over over

It’s difficult this task

It hurts too much to drag it out

I chose a different path

Don’t bring up the past again

Before I drift today I need you here that’s all I pray
Before I fall again I ask of you to stay

You are not the first

 

MADE OF STONE
Darling hear me when I say
Darling please oh please refrain
Don’t even speak I know what you’re saying

Don’t walk away I know what you’ve done

And you left me broken and alone

I left your cold heart made of stone

 

FOR YOU
Made in the memory

Lost in a lullaby

Feels like I’m dreaming

Dreaming awake

Call on all the sirens as I fall upon the night 
Deriving pleasure from the pain

Keeping me insane.

I’ll wait another lifetime for your disinterested smile
I’ll wait

Is this love

Is this love

Is this love

is this truth?

Right on cue you reappear

I heard you say you’d keep me here

Dying for the truth

Right on cue you take me in

I’ve barely even broke the skin

I think I got the news 

Caught in a headlight

Seduced by a promise

Walked in a mystery

Subdued by her majesty

Call upon me love I’m waiting on your voice
Disinterested yes but I haven’t got a choice
Between the moon and you

I’d find a way to light up the night 

I would

Walk with me as I begin

To reassess the state I’m in

Anything for you 

Walk with me we’ll break the mould

I heard you say you wanted more

Anything for you

Everything

Everything

For you

 

DON’T STOP
A sudden move a sudden urge taking over any sense I’ve left
A little flash of something wrong making fools of all that I know best
Take me down cut me up spin me right around now if you must
And how God knows it’s what I deserve 

Look at you look at me look at all the distance in between
Any dreams of what could be start to burst away until it seems
Nothing more nothing less is where we have to end this awful mess
And how God knows it’s what I deserve
 
Don’t stop now I know you I won’t be hurt by what you say
Don’t stop now before you can’t turn the time around

And break away from what’s become a joke and that is at its best
Don’t stop now before you begin to fade to nothingness.
 
Emptiness is all I have the only feeling I can’t tear away
Signs of life float on by never breaking through my strengthening daze
So please just know that I love you and I want nothing more from you than just
To see it through to see it through
 
Do you have the time to act like nothing’s wrong
There is no point to life if all your love is gone

 

FALL TO PIECES
One last thing before I go

Why should I go it alone
Nothing hurts more than the truth

Nothing hurts you more than you
And it goes on
 
Every single sleepless night

Running forward through my mind
Every single waking day

Praying this is not the end
And it goes on

Though I’ve fallen down from grace

Lord I swear I’ll make things change

Please don’t look at me that way

I can’t stand to bear the pain
And it goes on

We’re both hurt today
For the same the same mistake
We’ll both fall to pieces
For the same old little truths

And the same old reasons same old reasons

 

ORDINARY GIRL
An ordinary girl is torn apart in two
There‘s so much to take in but her thoughts revert to you 
The tears stream down her face something feels wrong 
An ordinary girl but something in her is gone 
And I want to say goodbye but we’ve run out of time

An ordinary life is turning inside out
There’s nothing she wants more than to leave behind the doubt
She tries so hard to save the memories still clear
She tries to hide the pain but we’ve all seen the tears

And I want to say goodbye but we’ve run out of time
And I wanted you to know all these things before you’d go
There are things I want to say that we have never said
There are things I want to say but we’ve just run from them

 

IN THE END
You danced in the moonlight

Danced a cold and dark

Reckless serenade then ran 

I wanted for you to be
More than what  I was then
Separate and pretend

And I wanted you to say anything anything
And you knew I’d want to say everything everything

In the end 

 

PROGRESS
You keep me here in pursuit get so tired
My thoughts all revert to you stop my mind
Is this progress or is this going nowhere fast
Is this progress coming through 

I’m coming here only to adore you
I’ve stumbled on more than I could take
I’ve only been fooled but not forsaken
I’ve only been fooled but I won’t break

Did I know what’s the use questions that I should have asked before
Did you know know the truth you had me like a puppet on a string
I was just such a fool just a boy with nothing left to lose
Now I’m here standing still just a man with nothing left but...

...You were always on another plain anyway the point I learned was don’t get hurt
You were always going to realise how did I let myself get tangled up
Maybe I was just another one damage done move on slowly let it sink in
Or maybe you were playing games again all my sins are slowly sinking all away

When it all blows up again I’ll take you in I’ll take you in

 

TIME
These are the hands of a broken man and this is all that’s left
These are the words of a broken mind who’ll take what he gets
Young hearts get lost inside of dumbed down ideals
Old souls get weary of their highs 
This is the past it will never change but it’s always there
This is the past it gets rearranged in our little heads
Don’t let me break down over your little smile
Don’t let me down come on and try

Don’t say it don’t say it anymore

I always thought it would end another another way
I never knew how to open up ‘til I told you everything
I really love you and I still think you might
although we never even tried 

This time around I’ll say it from the heart

Now it’s time that I left this place I don’t want to go
Now it’s time that I left I feel I can’t go alone
I know your thoughts by now you know how I feel
I wanted more than I could take

 

STATIC
Hold your own don’t break down keep your feet from floating 
Hold your own don’t break down don’t break down
 
Pretty soon you’re lost for words you’re losing everything you know
but you don’t quite let go quite let go 

And when I falter I’ll only go the whole way
When I falter I never will go back again
In the end I will fade away before the static plays

As you know I’ve been changed by this never ending voice
But it’s right we’ve got time and nothing else
And I can try making mine all I need to get me through
So why don’t you why don’t you why don’t you
