Super Subtle Someone

Seeing you here
Reminds me of just why I've stayed away
From all the games
That suffocate the conscience to the blame

You're still chasing headlines,
You know that I'm right
You know you're never coming back this time

Subjugate
Every feeling to the party line
How will that play?
In this black hole, a heartland
For the drained?

You've gone too far this time
You know that I'm right
I know you're never gonna fade...

Celebrate the powerplay
Then get to the dealing
Political recidivists
These pacts that need sealing
Just liberate the hypocrites
They know how I'm feeling
There's characters to assassinate
I know what you're stealing
Celebrate the powerplay
You know how I'm feeling
Celebrate the powerplay
You know how I'm feeling

One Last Love Song

One last love song
To let you go
One last love song
To let those feelings flow

And I deny everyday
That my duplicity
Has got me almost everything
Except the things I need around me

One last love song
To let you know
One last love song
To let those feelings flow

And you were right when you say
That this is not how it should be
But I have tried everything
Just to set you free

It isn't up to me to break the walls
You've built around you
I can't understand your designs
I never find a way to find you

I don't need to talk about the things you say
I don't need you - turn around and walk away

One last love song
To let you know
One last love song
To let those feelings flow

And I'll deny everything
That ever brought us near
And I shall never find a way
To get you out of here

It's more than I can do to try to
Find the world you've lost within you
I don't seem to share you desires
There'll never be a way to find you

I'll find a way out
I'll take it out from here
I'll find a way out
I'll take it out from here
I'll find a way out
I'll take it out from here
I'll find a way out
I'll take it out from here

As Perfect As You (aren't)

My eyes no longer hunt beauty
For your love has made me tired
I'm not looking for another
I'm quite content with enough

Now, it must feel great
To shoot me down in flames
For all the domestics and the tears
It must be nice
To shoot me down in flames

The first time that I saw you
Was through the bottom of a glass
Now just look at what has happened
And how we couldn't last

Now, it must feel great
To shoot me down in flames
For all the domestics and the tears
It must be nice
To shoot me down in flames

You're misunderstanding
The dreams that I've been planning
You're misunderstanding
The dreams that I've been planning

You've turned the crisp packet
Into a triangle
And if that's a metaphor
I don't know what it's for

Dance

Now why would you heal yourself? It won't stop you getting ill
As fast as you learn to live, the world learns better ways to kill

But the sun still came up today
And the stars still came out tonight
And we're still here to celebrate
So I say we dance all night.

The more that they knock you down, the more you have to give
See, I got this turned around: death's just the price you pay to live

You know, the sun still came up today
And the stars still came out tonight
And we're still here to celebrate
So I say we dance all night

What if I should say that I was wrong here?

Out in the cold again, but it turns around so fast
They might take your future but they'll never take your past

You know, the sun still came up today
And the stars still came out tonight
And we're still here to celebrate
So I say we dance all night

Radio Silence

Just keep away
Leave me here,
I can find my way

Your memories are fading out
Our history is worthless now

I'm sure you mean me well
But now it's all over
You never had much faith in me.
I'm sure you mean me well,
But now it's radio silence

Is that you here?
Don't say your piece,
'Cause I don't want to hear

I'm not the man you're thinking of
Those lines, those lies you're feeding off

I'm sure you mean me well
But now it's all over
You never had much faith in me.
I'm sure you mean me well,
But now it's radio silence

Don't hang on to anything
There's no recapturing
All the lost feelings
Don't talk, 'cause I'm not hearing
The lines, the lies you're feeding off
I'm not the man you thought I was

I'm sure you mean me well
But now it's all over
You never had much faith in me.
I'm sure you mean me well,
But keep the radio silence
If you can't have more faith in me (Radio Silence)
I'm sure you mean me well
But now it's radio silence.

A Still Quiet Day By The River

Take it all away,
I hear just what they say
But I understand they lie about it

What do you know? What do you know? What do you know?
That I don't?

Are you taking it slow?
Are you coming here, just so
That everybody I know
Can deny it?

And here we are again
And I know I've brought you pain
But I hang around and hope you understand it

What do you know? What do you know? What do you know?
That I don't?

Are you taking it slow?
Are you coming here, just so
That everybody I know
Can deny it?

Take me all away, I fear that I have gone too far
How could you love me when I was broken from the start?

What do you know? What do you know? What do you know?
That I don't?

Are you taking it slow?
Are you coming here, just so
That everybody I know
Can deny it?

On a still, quiet day,
This river will wash me away,
With all the sins that I'm stained
Requited.

Weltschmerz

I don't feel like you love me - just left behind
You say that you trust me, then you change your mind
You say everyone lies about you, so why shouldn't I?
I once loved to delight you, but it's out of sight out of mind

A daydream deceiver with no release
A frail Faustus believing in a papier-mâché Mephistopheles
All the free things distract you, I just wish you'd tried
To get the feelings surmounted, now we're out of time

Well that's all I need
That's all I need
Well that's all I need
That's all I need

Take a look at the feelings, dear
Have I got this right?
Are we fresh out of reasons here,
Burdened out of sight?
Am I getting the feeling,
That I should hide away?
Did you ever believe
Oh, that life beckoned everyone this way...

Do ashes end the pain my dear?
No, I don't think that's right.
The burden in your mind I feared
Has drawn you of sight.
And what of those you left behind
To cry another day?
I'm sorry for your pain my dear
But you chose to go that way
We'll forgive you everything
And we would share your pain
I only wish I could, right now
I hate you

(I don't feel like you love me)
That's all I need
(I don't feel like you love me)
Well that's all I need
(I don't feel like you love me)
That's all I need
(I don't feel like you love me)
That's all I need
