- releases - tour DIRTY STICKY FLOORS Waiting for the last time For my friend to change my mind Waiting for the last drop Seems like a long long time Maybe I should go back home I'll sit and wait right by the phone Praying over the porcelain throne On my dirty sticky floor Ask me what I want Easy that's just more How long will I wait for you Twice as long as I did before Standing in the freezing snow Maybe you left I just don't know I'll soon be lying on my own On some dirty sticky floor I hope no one can see me The tin man says I'm doing fine That lion ain't gonna get me See that gun right there it's mine I've painted a face where I burnt the floor Now the face has become my devil's door Laying in the back room On my dirty sticky floor On my dirty sticky HOLD ON You keep sending me all these things I'm learning how to smile You keep sending me all these things I think I'll stay a while Tried to talk to you in my dream You looked at me and smiled Your smile said to me I'll have to wait a while I have to wait a while Hold on You opened my eyes today Hold on Another surprise You keep giving me all these things I see them in your smile You keep giving me all these things I think I'll stay a while I guess I'll stay a while A LITTLE PIECE All alone and bitter All alone and mad All alone with someone And I should be so glad All alone and twisted All alone and bad Won't you come and fix it I really feel quite sad A little piece of you A little piece of me A little piece of God Is what you gave to me And all my wishes Have come true I know without a doubt When I look at you When I trust in you If you can trust in me Maybe someday We can all be free BOTTLE LIVING He's like a King without a crown He wears it like a clown Watch him disappear I wish he would come down So call before you drown I won't always be around He's a ship without a sail He's not listening when you speak Living for the bottle He'll be sitting there all week So call before you drown I won't always be around Living for the bottle Living for the bottle There's no light on in his eyes How heavy are the lies Just jumped right out his skin He'll take you for a ride Living for the bottle Living for the bottle So call before you drown I won't always be around He's a dog without a bite Still looking for a fight All in black He won't be home tonight BLACK AND BLUE AGAIN I'm back in the room with the two way door I don't know where it is I sure been there before The thoughts in my head I just can't describe They're just too insane and they all outside All my apologies have been used up All my words are not enough I'm asking you on my knees To look inside me I'm black and blue again I'm black and blue again Do you remember we were such good friends Now we're back in the ring fighting again The taste that's in my mouth you see It's not very nice screaming at you There's tears in your eyes I'm not very nice You see I'm not very nice You said I'm not very nice You know I'm not very nice STAY She's softly breathing next to me A shining angel sent to me From where she came it's hard to say Tiny star she guides my way When we were lovers We both discovered Stay, you can leave tomorrow Stay wait until tomorrow Please stay Living here in shades of grey Colour she light a reason to stay From where she came it's hard to stay Tiny star she guides my way I NEED YOU I need you I need you I need you I need you I'm asking my friend I need you again Can you do something for me Time it just passed and we had some laughs Maybe it's just about greed You'll always need me much more Than I need you You'll always need me much more I need you I'll ask you again but I don't think you've changed You never did nothing for me I wonder sometimes if you're looking dow n On everything that you see With all of your gold stories all told Some things just aren't meant to be You live in the past shadows don't last This time it's all about me BITTER APPLE Days long gone And lost hot nights No crowded streets to walk tonight Still the stars shine so bright Don't need a coat I'll be alright Then you walked into my life Halo bright with dark brown eyes Just standing in her light Remembered love again that night Bitter apple take a bite (It's kind of wonderful) Fallen star you're mine tonight (Strange but beautiful) Bitter apple take my life (It's kind of wonderful) If I close my eyes you're mine tonight Tonight We laughed so hard it caused some pain Two strangers standing in the rain We smoked our cigarettes (It's kind of wonderful) Exchanging our regrets (Strange but beautiful) HIDDEN HOUSES Behind the door a secret place A hidden house you see A place where you imagine Just how life could be In your head you've made your bed You sleep alone you see The person in the mirror can't be me That's alright you say that's life It's alright you saved my life Hold my hand, close your eyes, understand Inside each man a frightened lamb Who hides beneath the sheets Waiting for a chance to just be free Behind the masks try to last Another day or week A perfect life laid in front of me Come with me let's walk Close your eyes let's talk My love GOODBYE It isn't very hard to see from where I stand There's no one to blame I opened up my eyes to see a world With so much pleasure not pain As she looked into my eyes I knew I might not see her again We're changing and it's hard for me To stay the same She, answers all the questions Things I find so very hard to say She, as I closed my eyes I heard her whisper goodbye All these questions that I'm asking Feel very foolish anyway, goodbye As I turned the corner I heard her whisper again Goodbye is what she said I loved her from the first time we kissed She taste so great She lit another candle and slowly Fell into the flame She, answers all the questions Things I find so very hard to say She, as I closed my eyes I heard her whisper goodbye All these questions that I'm asking Feel very foolish anyway, goodbye As I turned the corner I heard her whisper again Goodbye is what she said STAND UP You give me untold riches To which I hatched a plan I drink myself to death Just because I can Gave me many choices I didn't understand Crawled across the floor I knew I couldn't stand Can't lie to myself this way I have to stand up and walk away I can't lie to myself this way I have to stand up and walk away Stand up Stand up Stand up Stand up and walk Away Hard to watch you suffer So hard to feel the pain But you're wrapped so tight in your one block world Too scared to make the change Ask yourself this question While you're playing with your gun Is your finger shaking on the trigger Are you really having fun I can't lie to myself this way I have to stand up and walk away I can't lie to myself this way I have to stand up and walk away Stand up Stand up Stand up Stand up and walk Away Stop talking Try listening To what I'm trying to say If you're walking You're breathing Maybe you can make a change You give me untold riches To which I hatched a plan I drink myself to death Just because I can Now I'm judge and jury Are you having so much fun Sitting up there on your throne I've only just begun I can't lie to myself this way I have to stand up and walk away I can't lie to myself today I have to stand up and walk away Stand up Stand up Stand up Stand up and walk Away MAYBE Running around a gigantic tree Round and round I can't shake free Maybe Looking behind you're much closer to me The man I fear He lives inside of me Maybe I know I can swim but what if I drown I know I can't win When you're not around Maybe Thought you left me when I put her down I know I can swim But what if I drown Maybe Standing in the middle of a crowded room Feels like hell Take me home soon Maybe I know I can swim but what if I drown I know I can't win If you're not around Maybe CLOSER The ocean is creeping in Closer each day with every sin Now when did our life begin? The ocean keeps rolling in The night is oh so dark And that dog will howl and bark And your face is oh so stark The ocean is creeping in The ocean is creeping in Closer each day with every sin My heart is caving in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in Now another long year has passed And I don't know how long we'll last I can hear your distant laughs And the ocean keeps rolling in And the sun seems oh so clear I can hear it's hiss and sneer My stomach it starts to burn Oh God let's hope we learn The ocean is creeping in With every and every sin My hearts still caving in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in Stay with me It's hard to breathe Lay with me Please don't leave now Close your eyes Don't miss a beat now The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean is creeping in Closer each day with every sin Now when did our life begin? The ocean keeps rolling in The night is oh so dark And that dog will howl and bark And your face is oh so stark The ocean is creeping in The ocean is creeping in Closer each day with every sin My heart is caving in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in Now another long year has passed And I don't know how long we'll last I can hear your distant laughs And the ocean keeps rolling in And the sun seems oh so clear I can hear it's hiss and sneer My stomach it starts to burn Oh God let's hope we learn The ocean is creeping in With every and every sin My hearts still caving in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in Stay with me It's hard to breathe Lay with me Please don't leave now Close your eyes Don't miss a beat now The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in The ocean keeps rolling in BREATHE A sudden calm inside of me Now everything is better Together in a safe warm place I remember when I met you I took your hand You guided me Even felt much clever Bought your love Soft and white Just a soft pink letter Breathe for me Breathe for me Breathe for me We can be together If you breathe for me All the trees have lost their leaves ItÕs hard to lift my eyes HavenÕt seen the sun for weeks now Is it day or night CanÕt remember where I met you DonÕt know if IÕm here Think I need a little help to Take away my fear Breathe for me Breathe for me Breathe for me We can be together If you breathe for me Breathe for me Breathe for me Breathe for me Put your hands in my hands You can bleed for me Could you breathe for me?
