Never Answer

Who can you save?
Who can you save?
If you can’t save me
I won’t let you in
I’m not too brave
I’m not too brave
If it’s not for me
I won’t let you in
But it’s fading
Just degrading
I took and took
You gave and gave
If you can’t take me
I won’t let you in

Silent Screaming
03:41

Everyone beautiful a lover, never had never lost
A companion never came an apparition a mirage
If I speak up would they talk to me?
I keep looking for a person that I know does not exist
I’ve let people down I haven’t met and yet I still persist
Yet I’m shy of all I’ve tried to gain
Though I win the loser still remains
Why can’t I drown into it
Never found I knew it
Stitches start to fray
Pull away
Day after Day
In the end it may best to walk away to all the rest
A potential never fulfilled only sadness only jest
Stopped and stuttered all over again
At a crossroads can I break the chain
Can you smell me burning
Will our world keep turning
Pull it all apart
Can we make a start
To fill our hearts

Canned Food
03:21
|
|||
You never could believe
In your own home
The quiet box is
All you’ll ever know
Until you crave
Then you can rave
Stuck in your canned food
Break the glass
To make some noise
Don’t leave at all
That’s your choice
Until you fade
Can you be brave
Open your canned food
Stuck in your canned food

No Home For No One
02:12
|
|||
Suitcase is packed full in her hand
She’s got to leave and knows you’ll understand
Can’t believe
She’s crying till the night is done
You know she never wanted anyone
Only you
Forty dollars to her name
Things will stay just the same
Life of nothing can go on
Every time you miss her call
You wander the park alone
Did you ever really have a home
Not with she
|

Every Day
04:41
|

Heaven sent her from above
To show me all the ways of love
But did they know that I lost everything
Hard to say the words to you,
It’s hard to do the things you do
How do you put in words what I can sing
That I’ll talk to you, walk with you every day
From a word from a glance
I wait I wait for the one chance
To change the way you look at guys like me
Hurts to see you with another man
Don’t know if that’s part of any plan
It seems so hard to change my mind
Cause I’d walk with you, I’d talk to you every day
After playing all the games
You show me we’re just not the same
There’s nothing more for you and me
Guess I’ll live to fight another day
Though I doubt I’ll ever hear you say
The words that I’ve always longed to hear
I can walk with you, I can talk to you every day

Who I Should Be
03:41
|
|||
Empty because I’m not who I said I’d be
Empty because I’m not who I want to be
And who can fill this pit?
It’s just too easy to quit
Filthy is what I need to fill my head
Filthy is what I use to get ahead
Just let me be unclean
But I just can’t be mean
But who am I supposed to be?
I need somebody to tell me please
Oh I change and try to appease
But I just don’t know who I should be
Should I be charming and sweet?
Until I feel complete?
But who am I supposed to be?
I need somebody to tell me please
I try to change but I always get beat
But I just don’t know who I should be

Song For Somebody
03:32
|
|||
Never thought it’d be this way
never thought that I would stay
But a night has changed it all
now I wait to hear your call
Now it’s you that I depend
Never want this moment
To end
A friend
But it’s all you
Time to start new
And you want to
Make the rescue
I can’t recall
Being there for curtain call
Turning away
Live to play games another day
And I thought that Things would never go my way
And you came and now I’m asking you stay
Bicker and whine
We both do it all the time
Times are tough
We could be sad we could be rough
But it’s fine too because I will not go away
I live for you and I’m in this one
To stay
Today
Cause it’s all you
Time to start new
Cause I need you to
Make the rescue

To All The Chickies

Sue, can you wash that pan
Dry my eyes you know I can’t
Sue, don’t call me that
Saying things you can’t take back
Full of lies, can’t deny that’s what you do
Jane, why can’t you be the same?
Never talk but I’m to blame
Jane, tell me what’s wrong
Can’t keep trying to be strong
Empty eyes, never look at me any more
Making fun of all the pain
I had everything to gain
Cause I had nothing and you had it all
Kim have you even seen the mess
Clean it up, I need to rest
Kim would you wash your hands
Beat me up with a frying pan
Burnt out eyes every time I look at
You
Sue
Jane
Kim
Looks dim

Is This Real?
04:01
|
|||
Every person across from me
Is the last person I want to see
A phrase a single word
Could be the last thing they ever heard
A voice is speaking; am I sleeping?
Is This real?
I look at pore through photographs
Looking for proof of times filled with laughs
A glimpse a single look
Could have been all that it ever took
A thing I’m seeing; am I dreaming?
Is this real?
Why does it tell me I’m no good
I always did the best I could
So I just carry on and die
A little every time I cry
A time, a place, that will be
Happiness is not a thing that I can see
Until I’m feeling that I’m healing
Is this real?

What can I do?
Haven’t got a clue
What can I say?
Will I want to stay?
What if you decide?
What you think is right?
Quiet and mean
Why not pick it clean?
Running away
Is there no other way?
Can’t we talk it out?
There’s no need to shout
I want another name
Let’s play a different game
Yeah I want to be someone else
I’m tired of being myself
Inside
I hide under a hood
So misunderstood
Inside
And I cloak myself in glasses
To stare at the masses
The feeling never passes
How have I made it this far?
Beauty that I see
Tidal wave floods over me
But I’m scared of the water
And I cannot swim
Can’t look you in the eye
Not because I lie
Inside
The cost has been too high
I’m hanging out to dry
Inside
Why’re you hanging around
Is there nothing around on the ground
For you and me to pick clean
I am looking around for someone who’s not found
And they do not exist so why do
You persist
I resist
What can I do?
With me and you?
What can I say?
To make you stay?

Don't Watch Me Cry
02:35
|
|||
You can feel, that it’s real
But I don’t want you to see me cry
Coming strong, is it wrong?
Cause I don’t want you to see me cry
It’s hard to look at you while tears fall from my eyes
Just want to die
When you’re gone, we’ll move on
Then you won’t have to see me
Won’t have to see me
Won’t have to see me cry

Amends
02:33
|
|||
Did not mean to make you suffer
Was a fool until the end
Now it looks as though it’s over
I just cannot comprehend
Oh now I’m trying very hard to make amends
Did I fix enough to keep you
I just want to make you care
But I swear that I’ll do better
Where’ve you gone I don’t know where
Oh don’t you think that I’ve tried to make amends
Get the pills, a razor, bottle
Now it’s time to take a bath

It's Me
02:23
|
|||
A song that’s never known
A man that’s never shown
But you have always known
It is me
It is me
A drifter on the road
Carries heavy loads
Have you never been told?
It is me
It is me
I always stay at home
I know I’ll die alone
There is me
There is me

I don’t understand the reason that you cry
You never ever gave a reason why
But you sighed and turned your face away I know the reason why
You just stepped out and found yourself another guy
I know that we have never had a fight
I always would just say that you were right
But why you didn’t come home for three days and four whole nights
Makes me cry so hard I fear I’ll lose my sight
It’s so hard to be faithful
It just easy to cause pain
But I know that you’ve never ever done what is right your whole life
So I’ll just move on and leave you in shame
It’s not easy for me to put away the pain
I’ll just sit here by myself and try to just remain the same
Then I can stand and just start the games again

Nothing Changes
03:26
|
|||
Can’t go on looking for
All new reasons
To leave you
Alone
Won’t have any fun
In new seasons
Without you
All alone
Can’t sit by the phone
Wondering when you
Will call me
At home
Won’t cry anymore
No sad thoughts making
Me bitter
Always home
Nothing has changed
Still remains the same
I can’t walk away
Cause nothing has changed
Can’t stop thinking about
All the times filled with
Laughter
And smiles
Won’t let go of that
Feeling you give me
It’s happy
When you smile
Nothing has changed
Always remains the same
Come back another day
Cause nothing has changed
Nothing has changed
Still remains the same
I can’t walk away
Cause nothing has changed

Can't Cry No More
02:26
|

Lying in my bed with a lot of thoughts just flying round my brain
Want to get up go out but the only thing that’s stopping me is pain
Turn the phone off lock the door I can’t see anything but darkened room
I grew up on a farm up north but this apartment’s gonna be my tomb
I never could believe the words
I wanted desperately to learn
I had a lot of time to burn
I finally took a walk around
I thought about your sound
And I cried until my eyes could cry no more
Every day I see the people wonder who will be the next for me
But then I try and realize that nothing especially love is sold for free
Stay up late and lock my gates I don’t forget the doors and windows too
But through it all I feel so small cause the only thing I wanted was you
I never could believe the words
I wanted desperately to learn
I had a lot of time to burn
I finally took a walk around
Put my knees down on the ground
And I cried until my eyes could cry no more

Who's That Man
02:33
|
|||
I can’t sleep at all
Wait to hear your call
Tell me it’s okay
In the way you look
When everything you took
Wasn’t only mine
All the things you do
Come right back to you
Weeks and weeks I stall
Waiting for the fall
But it never comes
And then I see you out
We talk and then we shout
Who’s that man with you
All the lies you speak
Turn the other cheek

Help, Please, Anybody
04:12
|

Once there was a boy
Who was made uncomfortable
He tried and failed to be incomparable
But what the hell did they know about him
And darkness came
It felt completely insurmountable
But never was he held accountable
But what else could he have learned about him
Can someone help please anybody
What could he do
To make it with you
Nobody knew
That it wasn’t true
Everybody said that he had worked a miracle
That we’d accomplished the impossible
But what the hell did they know about it
So they tried again and it was just unforgiveable
The deeds and words were so regrettable
But why did we even bother to try it
God we need help please anybody
What has he done
He’s not having fun
He never knew
The right things to do
What could he do
To make it with you
Nobody knew
That it wasn’t true

Panic Attack
05:25
|
|||
I feel it coming in punishing waves
Like the anticipation of danger it craves
Tingle, tickle pins and needles
Creeps up my toes all the way to my face
Oh why can’t I die?
Fuck you tell me why
Heart is pounding like thousand drums
Will I have a chance to stop it if it comes
Caging, raging, raving, breaking
Break it all where has this come from
Screaming no one hears
Can’t hold back the tears
Get away from me
I'm so mad I can’t fucking see
Oh why can’t I die?
Just fucking tell me why
Tearing me apart
Don’t you fucking start
Just don’t touch me
Don’t you look at me

Thought You Knew
04:36
|

7th of October
Never been so sober
Finally it ends
Thought they could be friends
Flying with a bag or two
Not coming back we thought you knew
It’s time to start a life anew
It’s time to take her cue
We thought you knew
It’s time to face the truth
We thought you knew
7th of September
One truth but one pretender
Cannot tell a lie
It’s hard to say goodbye
Writing down a song or two
What point is there what can it do?
Is this what you thought you could do?
It’s time to see it through
We thought you knew
It’s past time that you grew
We thought you knew
But what to do?
