LYRICS
Written by: Sheena Bernett Intro "Lunching one day with Morgan, I was weary and ill at ease For he started quoting Sparkenbroke, before we had reached the cheese I knew not what he was saying, and was passed caring then So I stuck him on the schnozzle with Corton 1910" ~Nicholas Bentley (from book How Can You Bear to Be Human) How can you bear to be human Sadness overwhelms my heart deep Too Bad You’re So Beautiful Break me off a piece off that If it won’t hurt my back You look at my knees trembling But you don’t flirt Strong wind has taken me hostage in the desert It’s too bad It’s too bad you’re so beautiful It’s too bad It’s too bad it hurts So bring me love Bring me joy But don’t bring me worth When there is nothing to say you wish there were Between Cross-eyed mind is why you fall all over your self Fear to remain still kind As you pile high the guilt Playing with time Cause the clocks in bed Between my thoughts Shiny boy distract me from myself Pour sugar all over these wounds And “ Don't Forget” A reference to my song Is all I need to get my point across Between my thoughts Black or White Black or White there is no Grey I live without colour It’s not always beautiful Many shapes I do adore but only see them fully Extremes possess my world This master piece Which is my life Must be done solely Only I can create my work Only I dream my dreams Did you find the median? Did you find the half mark? Did you find the measurements to create beautiful art? Or were the gestures influencing you? Surrealism intrigues me Nothing makes more sense To my mind To my soul To my heart To my senses What tense this is? I don’t know Black or White there is no Grey I live without colour It’s not always beautiful Home Home When every moment has been explored When we learn to be disappointed When weakness is your only strength When sleep deprives you of life When everyone is your friend but you When filth is all you can see or do Go Home When comes decision you stand aside When the future was your only prize When art has lost its force When you’re so close to the ground that you can’t be floored Go Home When every moment has been explored Go Home Shake My Core Shake my core you fucking whore Break my back you score Those reptiles those fucking beings I swear too much it seems Save it all to tear it down Uh oh Till you don’t hear a sound Uh oh Frighten birds with broken wings We crush them down Let’s lift them up Let’s make them see You’ll steal my thoughts if I write them down So never ever will I speak Paper dolls have grown on me They stick together unlike you You pull my skin You rip my flesh You pour me out Now you’re refreshed There are two songs in my one heart They’re opposite directions so they tear me apart Taste the salt Shut your eyes It’s no surprise I’ve gone too far But we’ve come so far Sexy Beat Suppose we fainted on the bus Suppose we then fell in love Suppose your words tickled my soul Suppose all love didn't grow old Though love is in your eyes My mind tells me lies Truthfully you're the one for me But past experience won't let us be Happy times laced with doubt Pour me out Fill me up with hope and with love Then I can truly enjoy This gift This divine oh this beauty And this time Please my ears Accept my tears Your honesty devout to me You speak of my beauty and I hope it is that of the soul you see Because another pretty face just won't do I need much more of you Though love is in your eyes My mind tells me lies Truthfully you're the one for me But past experience won't let us be Happy times laced with doubt Lie of Love Don't you even dare Settle down So the excitement's gone You learn to cope so you won't choke Hold me up Be my friend You torture me frequently I know yes, you're a mess But pretty things won't redeem Your perfect love Won't compare To the Lie of Love You've got a lot of nerve Taking me for a ride And then you kick me to the curb Breaking me down behind my back You better hold your breath so you don't laugh Hold me up Be my friend You torture me frequently I know yes, you're a mess But pretty things won't redeem Your perfect love Won't compare To the Lie of Love The Dance Let's keep the dance in the basement Don't let our minds catch up to our thoughts Provoke to humour Humour to provoke Dim the lights on the situation So that we can't tell dark from light Drown our voices with the sound Let the the rhythms see to our eyes Did you think this lullaby would put me to sleep? Well I 'm still awake Where are you? Sang me pretty songs With all words wrong Sang me pretty songs With all words Mother Mother forgive me For I have sinned And I never thought I would You have given all that you have And I know that I should understand the demons of life And how they fallow at our backs But still we find it in each other And it hurts even more So when you turn your back on me I know you'll be watching With your mothers eye Beneath your hairline above your neck And I will watch you for I have grown And now have the same kind of wisdom Oh and the love as all of our kind Waiting Till I Die I'll be waiting till I die Just passing time Finding some pleasure in three dollar boots Writing songs on the metro Hoping I will find you Find you You Pouring poison on to paper Flooding between each line Playing the same tune to keep the words coming Starving my body to punish the world Finding peace in anger Posture perfect A frown that turns the world belly-side down Wiggle through that hole Find a soul beneath that Jaundice hued peau Bargain or bet on the music of that strange fret Of course you lied Of course you failed Life is the imitation of what's real Pound your Heart So you’ve forgotten what you want Gain it all to give to give it up Pound your heart manually Not the next time hopefully Piercing thoughts will fade away And when that time comes you’ll hear me say Something along these lines In time And I won’t compromise who I am this time Who I am |
