Stuck Inside 02:49
Where have you gone? What have you done? Judging by the change in you. Don’t try to fight, Don’t ask me why, I’m stuck inside a lie with you. It’s not the usual way, the same kind of way, I opened the door with you. Where have you gone? Two turns to one Won’t deny the change in you. Don’t try to run, Jumping the gun, I’m Stuck inside a lie with you. It’s not the usual way, the same kind of way, I opened the door with you. And It’s like the whole of the day, when time goes away, I opened the door with you. You say you won’t forgive me, And I don’t believe you ever thought that you were gonna try. You’re just so fucking in me, And I don’t believe I ever thought that you were gonna cry. And I don’t think I can pretend, It’s over and I need you. Say you love me, Say you need me, say you want me, Say you love me, say you do. Say you love me, Just say you need me, Say you want me, Say you love me, say you do. It’s like the whole of the day, when time goes away, I opened the door to you. So say you love me, Just say you need me, Just say you want me, Say you love me, say you do. Just say you love me, Just say you need me, Just say you want me, Say you love me, say you do.

Susie’s gonna try doing all those things she does to me, She said she’s gonna try shaking all those springs inside of me, It makes you wonder why I ever thought that this was gonna be. She said she’d never realise. Susie’s gonna be all the things she said she’d thrown away, She said she’s gonna see every single space inside the day, I never wanna go anywhere but facing my own way. She said she’d never realise, She said she’s gonna try and sympathise. Susie’s gonna try doing all those things she does to me, She said she’s gonna try shaking all those springs inside of me, It makes you wonder why I ever thought that this was gonna be. She said she’d never realise, She said she’s gonna try and sympathise, And then she’s gonna see what satisfies. Try and try and try and try and Susie’s gonna try, Susie’s gonna try, Susie’s gonna try, Susie’s gonna try. Susie’s gonna try doing all those things she does to me, She said she’s gonna try shaking all those springs inside of me, It makes you wonder why I ever thought that this was gonna be. She said she’d never realise, She said she’s gonna try and sympathise, And then she’s gonna see what satisfies, Never realised. Susie’s gonna try, Susie’s gonna try, Susie’s gonna try.

Ten years just to be alone and we don’t even try, Still feeling the rag and bone and the old searching goodbye, I don’t think that we’ll ever see another compromise, Running round with the honeybees and the entomologist eyes. Never thought I could be alone with the cold mechanical pleas, Never thought I could lose control with the old maniacal knees, Six-o-clock and I’m still confined to the face I openly choose, Still the same red-letter day and I’m thinking I can still lose. And I spoke, to the man, and he said go and write what you can, Everybody’s in it just to feel the hope inside. Ten years just to be alone and we don’t even try, Still feeling the rag and bone and the old searching goodbye, I don’t think that we’ll ever see another compromise, Running round with the honeybees and the entomologist eyes. And I spoke, to the man, and he said go and write what you can, Everybody’s in it just to feel the hope inside. I’m going to see you every day but drinking the time has passed away. And I spoke, to the man, and he said go and write what you can, Everybody’s in it just to feel the hope inside. And I spoke, to the man, and he said go and write what you can, Everybody’s in it just to feel the hope inside.

I’ve seen your face before, Stopping at the open door, And I stood to watch you realise. That you could simplify, Sticking it behind the times, With no excuse or alibis. Do you think you’re satisfied? Do you think you’re satisfied with you? Can’t take me anywhere, You can’t take me anywhere with you. Don’t you think that we have been? Chasing the shadows, Sinking the arrows, Ditching the awful truth. Taking the rainbows, Hiding the shame goes, Making the IOU’s. Don’t you think that we have been?

Do you think you’re satisfied? Do you think you’re satisfied with you? Can’t take me anywhere, You can’t take me anywhere with you. I know we know, She’s been to Reno, I’ve been waiting for you. She’s been faking, The situation, I know she knows, do you? Don’t you know anything? I know we know, She’s been to Reno, I’ve been waiting for you. She’s been faking, The situation, I know she knows, do you? Don’t you know anything?

I never thought I’d ever see you go anywhere, Another case of lonely. And if I need reminding that there’s nobody there, You took a case to show me. Dreaming of a time when there was love in the air, The commonplace reminds me. Talking to the line is like a chill in the air, They said it’s all behind me. And then a change. And even if the world is never safe again, and even if we’ll never have a place again, there’s always me and you. I never thought I’d ever see you go anywhere, Another case of lonely. And if I need reminding that there’s nobody there, You took a case to show me. And then a change. And even if the world is never safe again, and even if we’ll never have a place again, there’s never me and you. I’d die, I’d die. Coz I knew just that you were on it too but still I’d hide. I’d hide. I never thought that this would ever come, but still I’d try. I’d try, I always tried for you. Dreaming of a time when there was love in the air, The commonplace reminds me. Talking to the line is like a chill in the air, They said it’s all behind me. I’d die, I’d die. Coz I knew just that you were on it too but still I’d hide. I’d hide. I never thought that this would ever come, but still I’d try, I’d try. Do you think this’ll amount to? Feels like we are about to, Leave things over and out to you, I always tried for you. I never thought I’d ever see you go anywhere, Another case of lonely. And if I need reminding that there’s nobody there, You took a case to show me.

That Day 02:48
Remember the day you changed my life, Walking out on me? Swimming in misery, The day you changed my life. A song, say, or a note to pray to. And to be covered. The mouth squashed feelings of her lips I did taste. We sat alone, enchanting each other with eyes fixed. Can you think of a way, to close on me? Totally limit free, Can you just let me be? It’s the way to close on me. On our passion sealed, A time, say, or a type to cling to. If to be touched. The agonising need for kind. You can’t, you can’t, you can’t, you can’t see, You can’t, you can’t, you can’t, you can’t be, You can’t, you can’t, you can’t, you can’t feel the pain, It’s not the same, Just take it away. Sometimes I think I’m gonna make it, but history says I’ll fail. Sometimes I think you’ll come and take it, and selfish will prevail. One time I think I’ll be able to fix it, but history says I’ll fail. Sometimes I think you’ll come and make it, and that day will be. Sometimes I think I’m gonna make it, but history says I’ll fail. Sometimes I think you’ll come and take it, and selfish will prevail. One time I think I’ll be able to fix it, but history says I’ll fail. Sometimes I think you’ll come and make it, and that day will be.

At the stages of emotional lines and all the far-fetched avenues, And turning pages in the whole way of life in different stories I can choose, And it’s only yesterday. I’m sick of all the feelings that you’re gonna throw my way and I hope, That it’s only yesterday. I’m lying on the ceiling looking down on my whole face and… And I’ve been thinking of the usual time and when I found myself with you, The social drinking was the end of the line but still I found my thoughts with you. We’re at the stages of emotional lines and all the far-fetched avenues, And turning pages in the whole way of life in different stories I can choose, And I’ve been thinking of the usual time and when I found myself with you, The social drinking was the end of the line but still I found my thoughts with you.

Don’t think we’re on the brink, Just a proportion to believe. This time we’re on the run, Without a system to concede. No way, this is the day, Never a question not to see. Nice try, no time to take, Holding the anger that you feel. The anger that you feel. We know, nowhere to go, Into the shadows of the night. They say, just turn away, Stick to the darkness, fear the light. It’s there, going nowhere, Chasing a notion not to dream. No lies, this is the end, Holding the anger that you feel. The anger that you feel.

Candle 02:52
Take in the candles all of the night. Don’t see the shadows and, I can’t see the light, And ignoring you is the best way to fight, You’re just out of sight. Turning the candles all through the day. I don’t got no money and I don’t know the way, And I won’t see you and I won’t get no pay. Just as the scene is, how bad the dream is, And you’ve just gone astray. Drifting into overtime, I can’t feel the love you left behind. Lifting into overdrive, I need to see if I can still believe. I don’t know what you’re saying, I don’t know what you said. Dealing the kickbacks all of the time, You don’t think it’s funny and I don’t think it’s mine, And I only tried just to stay on the line. Just as the scene is, how bad the dream is, just pretend were alive. I’m looking over the roads again, And standing naked in clothes again, Must we understand the new? On the introspecting view. I’m looking over the roads again, And standing naked in clothes again, Hanging on to the ropes again, Must we understand the new? Must we understand the new? Take in the candles all of the night. Don’t see the shadows and, I can’t see the light, And ignoring you is the best way to fight, You’re just out of sight.

Slow Worm 02:25
Can you deny that we ever seen things? We used to try, and we’d always feel things, I don’t know why but you’re tryna shoot me down. There was a time when we always shared things, Passing by now you don’t declare things, Do you know why that you’re gonna bring me down? I’m sick of chasing you around, It’s getting me down now. Done with chasing you around, Anymore now. I’ve never been on the top of most things, I always end up the brunt of joke things, Just a guy in the lower side of town. Now I see I’ve become the old thing, It’s only me I can cope with most things, The tragedy is to me, you turned back round. I’m sick of chasing you around, It’s getting me down now. Done with chasing you around, Anymore now. I don’t think I can take it anymore, I see myself just lying on the floor, I know that I can’t fake it anymore. Deep inside I’m breaking, It’s the only time I’ve had to close the door.
