It may seem easy,
for you it's a talent,
for me it's a habit I can't stop,
Never feeling empty,
Just top up your poison,
I’m feeling blood boiling in my skin,
and it's tough, but it’s not quite tough enough,
it's a long, long road, and I hope I don't give up,
This love betrayal, is working over-time,
at first I loved you, and then I realised,
If you're a first time lover never wanting any other,
and you got your skinnies off before I even said I loved ya,
then oh oh, oh oh, never mind,
oh oh, you're working over-time,
this silence, fills our heads,
I never ever want it to end,
I never once told you no,
It’s gone past able to mend,
I always kinda gathered you were just a hoe,
this love betrayal, is working over-time,
at first I loved you, and then I realised,
If you're a first time lover never wanting any other,
and you got your skinnies off before I even said I loved ya,
then oh oh, oh oh, never mind,
oh oh, you're working over-time,
this love betrayal, is working over-time,
at first I loved you, and then I realised,
If you're a first time lover never wanting any other,
and you got your skinnies off before I even said I loved ya,
then oh oh, oh oh, never mind,
oh oh, keep working over-time, x2

Kiss Me Quick

Like a battered doll you just,
fall apart at the seams,
I could give it my best shot,
to bring you to your knees,
but that is not who I am,
broken to the core,
unlike you I chose not to,
act like a stupid whore...
Kiss me quick, and hope I wont find out,
about the secrets that you keep inside,
Did you think, that these things were aloud?
and that I wouldn't let it slip my mind?
Some things are low,
I didn't think you'd go, there...
I just thought you should know,
there's a reason why these boys stare....
you broke the habits you just,
seemed to misplace, to misplace
another powder keg to,
apply to your face, to your face
A city is full of people,
better than who you are,
I guess we will just see you,
getting into strangers cars,
Kiss me quick, and hope I wont find out,
about the demons that you let outside,
did you think that these things were allowed,
and that I wouldn't let it slip my mind?
Some things are low,
and I didn't think you'd go there...
I just thought you should know,
there's a reason why these boys stare...
and I don't understand,
why you turned out like this,
I gave you my hand,
and you couldn't help but bite it...
kiss me quick, and hope I won't find out...
kiss me quick, and hope I won't find out... x2
Kiss me quick, and hope I wont find out,
about the demons that you let outside,
did you think that these things were allowed,
and that I wouldn't let it slip my mind?
Some things are low,
and I didn't think you'd go there...
I just thought you should know,

and you couldn't help but bite it...

Murder

Your silence speaks so very loud,
Do you have me figured out?
will you find me if I run?
will you find me in the crowd?
Will I escape, the coldest fingers of your nights,
should I flee, should I fold,
should I run or should I fight?
Can I find you,
can I help you figure out,
how to lose your self-ambition,
and would it be enough?
Can I lie through,
the trails you left behind,
would I know, could I grow,
the flame that burns that bitch alive
These voices circle in my mind,
I must have been so fucking blind,
I could've seen this from a mile,
Were you ever worth my time?
Will I escape, the coldest fingers of your nights,
should I flee, should I fold,
should I feed the hand that bites?
Can I find you,
can I help you figure out,
how to lose your self-ambition,
and would it be enough?
Can I lie through,
the trails you left behind,
would I know, could I grow,
the flame that burns that bitch alive
Fate will burn that bitch alive,
was it ever worth your life,
you shouldn't throw it on the line,
I bet you faked it every time, (rinse and repeat)

Take take take me away from here,
I've got no more space to breathe,
It's gone quiet (quiet) over here,
You told me lies, and I told them too,
It's been so long since you told me the truth,
so I guess it's become you,
why don't you live for, live for, live for the moment dear,
I know It's easier said than done,
but now I guess you've had your fun,
so just die for, die for, die for a better way,
If it's fine and suits you just great,
just don't come crawling back again,
I'm best without you,
you'll slip and slide like a water ride,
and turn and toss at night,
with the nightmares, from things you've seen,
I told you once, and I’ve told you twice,
you've heard the tale of the three blind mice,
so I guess we'll see how you run,
why don't you live for, live for, live for the moment dear,
I know It's easier said than done,
but now I guess you've had your fun,
so just die for, die for, die for a better way,
If it's fine and suits you just great,
just don't come crawling back again,
I'm best without you,
Go Home...
why don't you live for, live for, live for the moment dear,
I know It's easier said than done,
but now I guess you've had your fun,
so why don't you live for, live for, live for the moment dear,
I know It's easier said than done,
but now I guess you've had your fun,
so just die for, die for, die for a better way,
If it's fine and suits you just great,
just don't come crawling back again,
I'm best without you,

Nothing Quite Like Sin

when you're sliding, down his perfect skin,
can you feel me, slowly creeping in?
I'm like a parasite, Inside your head,
you can't control yourself, when you're in bed, with me
you know you want me, between your sheets,
you'll count the moments, until I’m back balls deep,
I can be elegant, or sexy rough,
I will bite your lips, until you've had enough, for now...
don't stop, don't speak, I don't want to talk this over,
I just wanna be your lover, back inside my kingsize bed tonight,
don't fight, don't leave, we're only getting older,
I just wanna bend you over, back inside my kingsize bed tonight,
are you ready?
for another round,
you got your pout look on,
and I’m hand cuffed down,
you may be sorry,
but things will be alright,
I’ll have my best game on,
and keep you cumming all damn night,
don't stop, don't speak, I don't want to talk this over,
I just wanna be your lover, back inside my kingsize bed tonight,
don't fight, don't leave, we're only getting older,
I just wanna bend you over, back inside my kingsize bed tonight,
your eyes are screaming,
ripping through my skin,
the musics playing,
there's nothing quite like sin,
you may regret this,
naked in my bed,
were you thinking of him,
while giving head to me?
don't stop, don't speak, I don't want to talk this over,
I just wanna be your lover, back inside my kingsize bed tonight,
don't fight, don't leave, we're only getting older,
I just wanna bend you over, back inside my kingsize bed tonight,

There's these promises of greatness
from the dreams we may have had,
Yet we're lying in our single beds,
alone with our own hands,
this isn't now nor was it ever
that we amounted in the sand,
when the walls came crashing in
to fill all hopes we ever planned,
for a single solid second
of my simple solo days,
I would believe that there is better,
no more hate and no more pain,
If forever is a never then
i'm sick of playing games,
I just hope that fate will find me
coz i'm tired of being plain old Jane,
I'm out to find, fortunes buried in the sand,
and there's no more time,
and I think I’ve had enough, of things,
never going into play,
and so I say, fuck you anyway
Wreck it up, break it down now,
I’m already done with this,
Smash it up, sing it out loud,
because I’m done with this shit,
Wreck it up, break it down now,
will we ever be enough?
Wreck it up, sing it out proud,
Just shut the fuck up!
I step in, it’s like a substitution,
Flow like a step-over, here’s the revolution,
Red hot like a chilli pepper,
Flow only gets better,
Slap that bass, where’s your girl?
I’ma go get her,
You’re a game changer,
That makes no sense,
Like my last bar,
Proving you wrong with nonsense,
Sit back, and learn something first,
I’ma prove that I wanna get this off my chest,
Watch this as I,
Change the flow up,
Asking your opinion,
I don’t give a fuck,
Music since I was thirteen,
Shown no love,
Learnt everything on my own,
And now they see me above,
Expectations and themselves,
Remember kids,
I never had any help,
So I’m on my own,
Owe nothing to nobody,
I know this shit players,
I take the goal buddy
Wreck it up, break it down now,
I’m already done with this,
Smash it up, sing it out loud,
because I’m done with this shit,
Wreck it up, break it down now,
will we ever be enough?
Wreck it up, sing it out proud,
Just shut the fuck up!
Wreck it up, break it down, now (rinse and repeat)

Curtain Close
04:50
|
|

Sit and watch the spiders in the moon reflecting ocean,
and stay awake for hours just to talk about emotions,
all night through,
and fall asleep to dream of you...
playing in the back-seat asking will we be there soon?
while my mum was driving badly singing Green Day oh so poorly out of tune,
we'd kiss each other out of view,
and do whatever we wanted to,
and do whatever we wanted to...
and so, the story goes,
It's just another curtain close
a happy ending forever sending love,
through the radio,
but hold on tight,
it's just another bumpy ride,
forever afters are disasters in this ordinary life,
the arguments devour all the feelings that we had,
spending hour after hour crying head placed in my hands,
tears all night through,
each one that flows it falls for you,
grab another bottle or whatever hits me first,
I don't care about the flavour just as long as it stops the hurt,
because I'll lose...
cracks in the pavement suck me through,
you know I'm nothing without you,
so take me under I beg you, oh...
and so, the story goes,
It's just another curtain close
a happy ending forever sending love,
through the radio,
but hold on tight,
it's just another bumpy ride,
forever afters are disasters in this ordinary life,
we could stay and watch the stars at night,
and hold you say it'll be all right,
until the cold and hardest bite,
pulls you into darker times,
and maybe next time get it right,
never have these little fights,
laying out in sky star light,
I'll hold you till the sun will rise,
I wouldn't hold you closer now, or look at you that way,
it seems things are moving faster now, every single day,
it would take an awful long time just to find the words to say, to you,
and every time I took a breath I'd hold it till my face turned blue,
I'll fall in love again I hope, and this time be aware,
that the love I give out, isn't always a love so easily shared,
an awkward glance across the street, would pass by in a moment,
the thought of you however would never seem to leave the ocean I'm floating in,
and so, the story goes,
It's just another curtain close
a happy ending forever sending love,
through the radio,
but hold on tight,
it's just another bumpy ride,
forever afters are disasters in this ordinary life,

Liars in Love

Take a look what you've done girl,
you've had me fall to my knees,
you made a mess of this whole thing,
and now you can't find sleep,
If this was love, then I guess we're a little love drunk,
if sober minds came to light then I guess we're out of luck,
I'd said it proud, prouder than you ever could,
I guess that's why, me and you could never work out,
never work out,
Don't drag me down, deeper than I can go,
you'd let me drown, further than I could throw you,
and just what would I do,
to fall out of love with you,
I'm sick and tired, of feeling so defeated,
you're just a liar,
and I wish I didn't know you,
just what would I do,
to fall out of love with you,
this girl can't sleep at night,
she's so damn torn between being a liar in love,
she'll follow those flashing lights,
but they won't lead you home,
no they won't fix your life,
no they won't fix your life,
Don't drag me down, deeper than I can go,
you'd let me drown, further than I could throw you,
and just what would I do,
to fall out of love with you,
I'm sick and tired, of feeling so defeated,
you're just a liar,
and I wish I didn't know you,
just what would I do,
to fall out of love with you x2
