The Rest
03:45

if i pretend everything is all right
will you believe me when i say i am fine
there's a storm blowing outside my window
and i can't sleep at night
i can't sleep at night
and i don't mean to lie
it's just there's something missing from my chest
and you can't see me cry
i'll only let you near me at my best
so please forget about the rest
i've never been that good at talking to you
when you look at me i cannot think things through
if you like my company can you say?
'cause i don't want to be in your way
i don't want to be in your way
and i don't mean to lie
it's just there's something missing from my chest
and you can't see my cry
i'll only let you near me at my best
so please forget about the rest

i miss you and it's dumb
you haven't been here long
and i don't know you that well
but you're breaking my shell
i like you and it's dumb
i'll pretend that i'm numb
ignore all of the pain
wait 'til it goes away
but i'm glad you're here
i feel calmer when you're near

I Wrote This In July
02:14
|
|
||
i thought you'd be okay
but the shadow in your brain
shows me that the finish line is
still so far away
i thought you'd be just fine
i thought you'd be all right
but here i am crying
holding your hand in the middle of the night
you're still not in the clear
and it's been nearly a year
of sitting in the waiting room
wondering why you're still here
i though this'd be the end
and we could start again
but here i am seeking comfort
from my internet friends
i thought you'd be okay
but the swelling in your brain
is making it hard for you to see
and to stand up straight
i thought you'd be all right
i thought you'd be just fine
but here i am crying
holding myself in the middle of the night

here i am standing in the cold
but i'd rather be cold than with you
walking the dark on my own
walking in the dark without you
'cause you've got an addiction
and i've got an affliction
and i know we'll never agree
i know we'll never agree
sitting in my room on my own
the rain outside is blocking the view
cuts and bruises over my hands
i know they would impress you
'cause you've got an addiction
and i've got an affliction
and i know we'll never agree
on anything

it's not what it seems
you don't understand what i mean
you communicate through voice
and i don't have a choice

i got caught
in the rain
i got caught
again
and i walked
through the rain
and i thought
i'd never be warm again
how do you cope when you're not coping
i got caught
in the storm
and i saw
all of my flaws
and i wanted
to cry
but the rain
covered my eyes
and i hate
my face
but i deserve
to take up space
and i walked
through the rain
and i made it
home again
how to cope when you're not coping

happy people everywhere
and not a drop for me
i guess i could pretend
that it's something i could be
but i'm so sick of my disguise
and i'm all out of tune
and besides we know
i could never fool you
i wrote this song
because i haven't cried in a week
and i've been making it up so long
i forgot how to speak
and yesterday was
the best day i can remember
and i hope this feeling stays
will the 12th of november

i wish it was colder
because i can't sleep
i'm good at pretending
but i can't take off my skin
it's too hot
it didn't
snow this year
it's too hot
i can't sleep
this year
it's too hot
it didn't
snow this year
it's too hot
i can't
sleep

Sympathy
02:24
|
|
||
i've got a firm head above my shoulders
but my neck is weak
i'm so tired but
i still can't sleep
i'm so hungry and
i have been for weeks
i'm nothing but bone
there's no colour in my cheeks
i don't know what people think
when they look at me
i hope it's much nicer than
it used to be
i don't have much use for
your sympathy
but i'd be lying if
i said it didn't mean a thing

born in late july
cathedrals make me cry
and we all remember
that day in mid november
that bangs are far too loud
i hope i make you proud
and when i hear my name
it never feels the same
and you held on
so i could escape the somme
it's getting darker now
the winter's on the prowl
and in a book i read
the girl kissed the princess
and when i get sad
i try and call my dad
i'm feeling very old
your hands were always cold
but i didn't mind
your heart was far too kind
and in the morning dew
i aways think of you
and when it's dark at night
they tell me "souls don't die"

Hawks & Doves
02:20
|
|
||
i was raised by hawks and doves
they taught me how to walk
they taught me how to love
i was raised by doves and hawks
the hawk never made me feel
good enough at all
now, the hawk alway tells me
he's here to keep me grounded
but i never flew anyway
now i'm six feet under
now i'm six feet under
i was raised by hawks and doves
they never taught me to fly
the hawk had clipped the dove's wings
and he never made me feel
good enough at all
