[13] Let Them Crush Us

Firefly

Throw the towel in
Write the poison letter
Burn the place down
Let's make it better
Pour the fuel in
Make the carpet wetter
Burning paper-bin
Let's make it better

Tiny thumb-wheel
Slide across the metal
Little yellow box
Let's make it better
And if the wind blows
Then it's gone forever
Little firefly
I think we made it better

I think we made it better
Little firefly, I think we made it better

Leave You Nothing

One hour on a Sunday
That's all we have
Impatient Monday
It never goes so fast
And I wish it was easy
I wish you only knew
I wish I could explain things
Instead of hurting you

It's never enough
It's never enough
It's only the broken edge of love
There's never the time
A place in your mind that's all
I don't want to leave you nothing

One hour on a Sunday
In the afternoon
An hour to be awkward
And embarrass you
And I'm glad that you're happy
Your Mother too
I wish there were two Worlds
One with me and you

It's never enough
It's never enough
It's only the broken edge of love
There's never the time
A place in your mind that's all
I don't want to leave you nothing

It's never enough
I'll never regret the mistake I made
It's never enough
I'll never give up, it's the price I'll pay

It's never enough
It's never enough
It's only the broken edge of love
There's never the time
A place in your mind that's all
I don't want to leave you nothing

To Be Alive

Everyone says it's all in my head
The chattering freak that bores me to sleep from beneath the floor
It's nothing more

And I'd have to resign
It's just noise in my mind

Everyone agrees I should really be pleased
Couplets in the mind are creatively perfect for rhyme
I'd of course agree

They've yet to imply
That I'm losing my mind

I'm in my own world
You're outside
It feels so imperfect
I wonder why
Your world
Isn't mine
It feels so peculiar
To be alive

Everyone thinks it quirky and sweet
An image I'll compare when sedated and tied to a chair
I'll get the finest care

But I'd have to concede
That it's more than I need right now

I'm in my own world
You're outside
It feels so imperfect
I wonder why
Your world
Isn't mine
It feels so peculiar
To be alive

And I'd have to confess
That I'm not at my best
Right now

I'm in my own world
You're outside
It feels so imperfect
I wonder why
Your world
Isn't mine
It feels so peculiar
To be alive

Retaliation

The things you never saw
They didn't hurt you
I loved you once before
I never lied to you

And you're biting back at me
And I'm sick enough to see
That it won't be you that breaks it
Because you'll never sit and take it

Retaliation
For all the voices in your head
Was I mistaken?
In all the things I never said
Retaliation
For all the times I never bled
The things I've taken
To cure the poison

Brush the pain aside
It didn't happen
Calm the voice inside
I never got to you

And you're writing on your skin
That "the world is caving in"
But it won't be you that makes it
Because you never tried to fake it

Retaliation
For all the voices in your head
Was I mistaken?
In all the things I never said
Retaliation
For all the times I never bled
The things I've taken
To cure the poison

For all the bullets in your head
For all the things that you regret
For the lives you've never led
Did I destroy them?

Retaliation
For all the voices in your head
Was I mistaken?
In all the things I never said
Retaliation
For all the times I never bled
The things I've taken
To cure the poison

The things I've taken
To cure the poison

Little Missile

Stop, breathe, no one's been deceived
Go, leave, there's nothing to believe in anymore

Little Missile
Close your eyes and smile
There's no lying
As you detonate their dreams when you're safely outside
Little Missile
Where do you draw the line?
There's no crying
'Cause you're saving up all your tears for another life

Stop, breathe

You never asked to stay
They've seen it all before
A hundred times and more
Faces cold and grey
An invitation to somebody's final day

You said it wouldn't kill you
Terrify or thrill you
Did you mean to say

You didn't need the money anyway, anyway

Little Missile
Close your eyes and smile
There's no lying
As you detonate their dreams when you're safely outside
Little Missile
Where do you draw the line?
There's no crying
Cause you're saving up all your tears for another life

Stop, breathe

How you can reconcile
When you can be so rich
And feel so vile
It's a well-spent day
The celebration of another useful lay

You said he never tapes you
Violates or shapes you
Could you truly say
He never really touched you anyway, in any way

Little Missile
Close your eyes and smile
There's no lying
As you detonate their dreams when you're safely outside
Little Missile
Where do you draw the line?
There's no crying
'Cause you're saving up all your tears for another life

Stop
Breathe
No love letters
Makes life better
No one's been deceived

Little Missile
Close your eyes and smile
There's no lying
As you detonate their dreams when you're safely outside
Little Missile
Where do you draw the line?
There's no crying
Cause you're saving up all your tears for another life

Stop, breathe, no one's been deceived
Go, leave, there's nothing to believe in anymore

There's nothing to believe in anymore

Who Watches Over Me?

Razorwire

She's sorry
She never meant to hurt you
So sorry
She never meant to lead you on

It's an ordinary day
In an ordinary street in your town
It just isn't enough to keep her
She wants to

Take you to the city lights
Take you into paradise
Then drag you through the razorwire
Where your fear becomes desire

She's frozen
In stubborn little creases
Smashed open
In tiny little pieces

Such an undramatic place
Could be anywhere at all in your town

It just isn't enough to free her
She wants to

Take you to the city lights
Take you into paradise
Then drag you through the razorwire
Where your fear becomes desire

Such a sorry little place
It's a corner of the world to someone
It just isn't enough to please her
She wants to

Take you to the city lights
Take you into paradise
Then drag you through the razorwire
Until your fear becomes desire

Mesh '2002

Four Walls

Where's the lesson God?
You're tearing off the wings of all my unprotected dreams for nothing
I'll keep holding on
But I'm running out of nails over everything that's ever failed within me

Stop the ageing soon
Because I'm running out of time at the very point I need the clock behind me
Alone in this room
When nothing should be taking from the cleanness of the break I'm making

It never falls in your hands
You get a page of the big plan
In a world that injects grey
If you still keep your head straight
In a world that protects bland
Big noise from a small band
Take the knives at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls

You'll fill the clubs to the four walls…

Here's the justice God
I'm sifting through the words and re-arranging them in verse for someone
I might be alone
But I'm praying for the spark that might illuminate the dark for someone

It never falls in your hands
You get a page of the big plan
In a world that injects grey
If you still keep your head straight
In a world that protects bland
Big noise from a small band
Take the knives at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls

Is it really worth it?
You know it's worth the sacrifice of everything

It doesn't come to us all
You get a buzz when the track falls
In a time that expects grace
You can cry if you're first place
In a world that protects fools
From the day that you leave school
You take the bribes at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls

It never falls in your hands
You get a page of the big plan
In a world that injects grey
If you still keep your head straight
In a world that protects bland
Big noise from a small band
Take the knives at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls
You'll fill the clubs to the four walls

Is it really worth it?
You know it's worth the sacrifice of everything

What Does It Cost You

Take a look behind
Everyone's so happy
Remember it's your ride
Everyone's so grateful to be here
Slowly all the way
Because fifty five is five too suspicious
And still they come to play
They're so needy when their ceiling's falling

Perfect little day
Everyone is smiling
A little trip away
You must believe it's so sweet to meet you
Form a little line
Every face is sober
No one fall behind
It's so easy when the party's over

And what does it cost you
Over, and over again
Nothing
To live from the sweetest revenge

Sickly sugar pink
Everyone is dried up
It's warmer than you think
A cooler place is left off the highway
And maybe if you've planned
All the things you'll do when the bill's paid
Before you pay The Man
Take a seat and try to see things my way

And what does it cost you
Over, and over again
Nothing
To live from the sweetest revenge

And what do you see within the water?
The sin of the father in the daughter

You can feel it

I Can't Imagine How It Hurts

If I live a hundred years
I'll always see your silent tears
Violence is the way you live
The future's nothing left to give

I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
Seem like nothing now

If I could make it go away
I would be there every day for you
Take my hands and squeeze them tight
And I will kiss your pain goodnight

I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
Seem like nothing now

And in the nightmares you run away
You'll always come to the same decision
When the feelings tear like they won't repair
But we'll break it together I swear

I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
Seem like nothing now

I can't imagine it happening
I close my eyes but it won't go away
I can't imagine it happening
I tell myself that it's so far away

I hate myself that you're so far away
I hate myself that you're so far away

The Place You Hide

I could never fall for you
But the tension makes the air so blue
I would never have the time
To watch you every day and night but,
Maybe if I let myself
Come down from this dusty shelf
You're messing with my head again
Got me seeing red again, so

Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more

Though I couldn't ask of you,
Something I could never do
Thought I couldn't ever need
Someone that would make me plead so
Wish that I could pace myself
Instead I could erase myself
A conscience in a big glass jar
I never thought I'd get this far, so

Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more

Do you regret the times you've prayed?
It's not the things you took
But the things that you've thrown away

Still, I knew it all

Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more

Friends Like These

I've fallen in love with a photograph
A moment of youth that I can't get back
The days when you're here it returns again
Emotions that feed on me everyday

And every night I watch it fading
It's safer just to write my whole life down
With every breath the words betray me
It's easier to face the truth

I've taken a vow that I'll make it up
I'll dig in the past and I'll rake it up
Making amends to the friends I miss
Breaking the mould that I'm frozen in

And everyday I know I'm lazy
It's easier to let the good times pass
And now it seems the memory's hazy
It's time for me to face the past

We tell them lies, we do sometimes
We live and die for friends like these
When all is said, we turn instead
And give our lives for what's beneath

And we do sometimes

I'd be a fool to slide again
I'll be like you and try again

I've fallen in love with a photograph
A moment of proof that can't love me back
The way that it cuts at me everyday
The images mock me a melt away

And everyday I feel it clearly
It's easy just to save the worst until last
And maybe I could see it really
It's painful what we do

We tell them lies, we do sometimes
We live and die for friends like these
When all is said, we turn instead
And give our lives for what's beneath

And we do sometimes

We live and die for friends like these
And we do sometimes

The Trouble We're In

If you wanted to get things over and done with
That's alright
If you think that it's washed up, rinsed out and spun with
Well, not quite

If you feel you've done enough
If you feel you've done enough
It's enough
That's the game
It's the rules that stop us going insane
It's the smile
It's the race
It's the notches that we carve on our face

But did I tell you that?

Nothing matters but the momentary touch of your hand
Nothing matters but the times you do as much as you can
Nothing matters but the softness of your skin
And you're really not aware of the trouble that we're in

If you wanted to try things, whisper it dryly
And I might
Now, if you think that I'm different, just ever so slightly
Then you're right

If you think you've said enough
If you think you've said enough
It's enough
That's the game
It's the reason that we lost when we played
It's the sleep
That I lose
It's a lifetime spent avoiding the news

But did I tell you that?

Nothing matters but the momentary touch of your hand
Nothing matters but the times you do as much as you can
Nothing matters but the softness of your skin
And you're really not aware of the trouble that we're in

It's enough
That's the game
It's the rules that stop us going insane
It's the smile
It's the race
It's the notches that we carve on our face
That's the game
It's the reason that we lost when we played
It's the sleep
That I lose
It's a lifetime spent avoiding the news

And you're really not aware of the trouble that we're in
No, you're really not aware of the trouble that we're in

Let Them Crush Us

You said it too
It silences and freezes
And I'm with you
Two mis-shapen pieces

You say that you'll never know
What it's like to be neglected
And you'll never feel
How it hurts when you're rejected
So…

They control us
They console us
Why do all these places hold us?
When they rush us
Let them crush us
Can't we be the ones to turn it around?
We dream of tearing them down?

They might refuse
But take some time to feed them
And let them choose
A perfect way to raise them
You say that nobody sleeps
Like you sleep because you're protected
You say that all things entwine
And that somehow we're connected
So…

They control us
They console us
Why do all these places hold us?
When they rush us
Let them crush us
Can't we be the ones to turn it around?
We dream of tearing them down?

You and me
For a moment maybe
You and me
Can't we be the ones to turn it around?

They control us
They console us
Why do all these places hold us?
When they rush us
Let them crush us
Can't we be the ones to turn it around?
We dream of tearing them down?

They control us
They console us
Why do all these places hold us?
When they rush us
Let them crush us
Can't we be the ones to turn it around?
We dream of tearing them down?

You said that you'll never know
What it's like to be a victim
Just take a look at us now
Are you sure that you can trust them?

Are you sure that you can trust them?
