You remind me Of places, I have never been. You take me to places I wish that I had seen with my own eyes. (But) you know that I am happy here Staring into yours. Light another cigarette now honey Mix another snakebite & black We’ve only a short while here, To be, ourselves. We’re only a short while here, So just be, yourself now Kirrilee. I caught my mouth upon The stud, on your lower lip. I tossed you the paperclip To unlock the door, unlock the door But you, stepped right inside of me. We’re only a short time here So just be, yourself now Kirrilee. We’ve only a short while here, To be, ourselves. We’ve only a short while here, To be, ourselves. We’ve only a short while here, To be, ourselves. We’re only a short while here, So just be, yourself now Kirrilee.

If it wasn’t for the loneliness (then) I could bare the solitude of These terrible silences, these Horrific injuries are Simply where I find myself now. Where I find myself. And I’ve been down so long now that It just looks like up to me. These terrible silences, these, Horrific injuries are, Simply where I find myself now. Where I find myself. We bury ourselves deep inside with the Things we cannot vocalise and These terrible silences, these Horrific injuries are Simply where I find myself now Where I find myself. But even as my back is turned your Undoing all the things we’ve learned and These terrible silences, these Horrific injuries are Simply where I find myself now. Where I find myself.

She sings me the saddest of songs I cannot help but sing along Forever after in my head. There’ll be no stopping once she starts The eternal burden of the queen of my heart I want to be free, but can't let go. She doesn't really know why... I feel so tired I could die Leave my window open wide Let my spirit feel the night. Now I have nothing more to say I said too much now anyway Lead me out into the night The last night on earth... And it’s you - Running rivers through me It's like you always knew me From the moment of my birth You'll be the death of me. It’s you - Running rivers through me It's like you always knew me From the moment of my birth You'll be the death of me. And now I have nothing more to say I said too much now anyway Lead me out into the night.

The moment that you wake from your disguise They record you with their eyes. No matter how, long or hard they try You know they won’t shake it You know they won’t shake it. Reaching for the seam that holds you in To find where you begin. Frozen in the pose they’ve chalked us in You know we can’t break it You know we can’t break this. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. The shutter clicks and we’re immortalised Flashbulb our goodbyes. No matter how, long or hard you try You know you can’t fake it You know you can’t fake this. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you. Slowly disappearing out of view Holding on to you.

I know how you want things to be And I know how far, away we are And I know that you need someone Who worships you. But I think that you know by now That’s not, what I do, or who I am. Let’s not try to change each other We are, who we are. And every time you hope for me This is what you get from me. Every time you hope for me This is what you get from me. I know how you want me to be And I know how far, away I am And I know that you need someone Who cares, for you. But I think that we know by now That when, I’m up, you're always down. How can we be together But still, feel alone. And every time you hope for me This is what you get from me. Every time you hope for me This is what you get from me.

Flicking through yesterday’s news Slipping my neck into the noose again Well it fits so well. Doesn’t know where her loyalties lie - Then again neither do I. Going out getting drunk on gin Waking up in her arms but then I Never knew it would be so hard Never knew I would be a part of this Bitterness. I try to fall awake but I still sleep Wait for a week but I am weak And resolutions fail And once again I’m throwing stones At your window. Throwing stones At your window. Stand in the payphone count to ten But you won’t call me back again. Sends a little shiver right through me When I hear you running down to me. But I know you’ll only turn away ‘Cause you’ve got nothing left to say to me Well hear me out. I try to fall awake but I still sleep Wait for a week but I am weak. And resolutions fail And once again I’m throwing stones At your window.

Scared of losing touch If I really mean that much Why pretend that you love him? Don't call me out the blue When it's clear that I still do And you know he knows it too. Going home alone The only love I've known It's always been you. It’s always been you. Tell me it's not real Tell me he doesn't make you feel The way I made you feel. If you care for me at all You'll hang up when I call You'll clear me space to fall. If you give I will receive And despite what they believe It's always been you. It's always been you. It’s always been you. When you're feeling alone And you're colder than stone Call me you know... It's always been you.

All of my dreams have flown away All of my ambition with the wind Now you’re here. I never thought I would be satisfied With anything I had Now I’m not so sure. I waited so long for you Now you’re here I don’t know what to do With you. I went hunting for love When I thought I’d lose. I meant to shoot down a dove Shot an angel instead. And now she wakes up every day and she invites All of my demons to play. Fade in fade out like a musical Rhythm and rhyme in time Our heart beats sing Just to remind you we’re still alive in here. I waited so long for you Now you’re here I don’t know what to do With you. I went hunting for love When I thought I’d lose. I meant to shoot down a dove Shot an angel instead. And now she wakes up every day and she invites All of my demons to play. Well I love her, I hate her I abhor her, I adore her Just the same, just the same Just the same, just the same. Well I love her, I hate her I abhor her, I adore her Just the same, just the same Just the same, just the same.

Siamese 03:57
Too late, too tired My eyes were open yours were wide. You looked for the sympathy that I Couldn't find for you again, tonight. Too late, although I tried I knew the distance was all too wide. I feel you reaching out for me but I Couldn't be with you again, tonight. I find myself thinking How much easier it would be If you, and me, were Siamese You call me late at night You tell me all, the heartache in your life. I do my best to sympathise but I Haven't got a clue what you're going through. Maybe I never will, Maybe I never really will. And I find myself thinking, How much easier it would be, If you, and me, were Siamese

Sleep 04:24
Stay here for a while, don’t go Don’t leave me alone or we’ll never know. Stay here for a while, let’s sleep Don’t wake me up ‘cause I need to dream. I need to sleep and to dream. Stay here for a while, let’s weep There is too much sorrow for me to keep Inside of me I need to sleep and to dream. I am not in love I am not in love These feelings will just fade away And though I think of you here today You’re further and further away. Stay here for a while, don’t go Don’t leave me alone or we’ll never know. Stay here for a while, let’s sleep Don’t wake me up ‘cause I need to dream. I am not in love I am not in love These feelings will just fade away And though I think of you here today You’re further and further away.

Drive me slow, down the road Sound the horn on every bend. Bow your heads, respect the dead For he had many, many friends. Now follow the road, through the tunnel of trees To the big, wide open field And take a left, up the muddy track To the house where I grew up. And here is the place, when I die I want you to bury me. Beneath this old, willow tree; Enough of an epitaph for me. And here is the place, when I die I want you to bury me. These friendly roots, will hold my bones And I will never be alone. Stop the car, on the track Stoop to kiss me - I can’t kiss you back. Shed no tears, for all the years You’ve made up for what I lacked. Heave me up, to head height On the shoulders of my friends And lay me down, on the lawn When all the curtains have been drawn. And here is the place, when I die I want you to bury me. Beneath this old, willow tree; Enough of an epitaph for me. And here is the place, when I die I want you to bury me. These friendly roots, will hold my bones And I will never be alone.
