Spider's Web

There was a time when I wanted that
You flaunted that
Exalted, I took that
You knew exactly how to manage me
You'd damage me
But then you'd encourage me
I'm just a simple person in my affections
I like a man who knows his own intentions
And so unknowingly I made my escape
From the spider's web you'd woven in the landscape
So many times you have played this game
You know its name
You like to inflict pain
And now I know exactly what you are
I laugh when you thirst
Cause I am a reservoir
I'm just a simple person in my affections
I like a man who knows his own intentions
And so unknowingly I made my escape
From the spider's web you'd woven in the landscape
You were the silver bullet that I dodged
I still got shot
I'm still glad it's you I dislodged
Cos now I know your method
I know what you expected
I'm glad you didn't get it

Fleeting
02:04

I've almost given up on us meeting
I break my neck to turn my head
To catch a glimpse and it's fleeting
Mysterious spritis fly, in the corner of my eye
My my, by-the-by, you're the reason that I try
I've got to find out why, cause it haunts me
Tried to deflect, tried to deny,
I must admit that it daunts me
Mysterious spirits fly, in the corner of my eye
My my, by the by, you're the reason that I try

Don't Let Me Fall
02:18
|
|||
|
I have dragged myself out
of these holes many times before
But this hole goes deeper
No more lies to myself
It's too big to ignore
Cause it makes me feel so much cheaper
Don't let me fall
Haul my sins to the ocean
Don't let me fall
I can't stand, I crawl
Poisioned emotion
I have felt so much shame
for the things that I had to hide
I'm the queen of secrets
There was no-one in my young life
in whom I could confide
All my nights still sleepless
Don't let me fall
Haul my sins to the ocean
Don't let me fall
I can't stand, I crawl
Poisoned emotion
I need to fall, to haul my sins to the ocean
Why do I need to fall, to haul my sins to the ocean
Don't let me fall
Haul my sins to the ocean
Don't let me fall
I can't stand, I crawl
Poisoned emotion

Ruminate
02:03
|

|
Don't know why I thought you were incredible
Put you so high on a pedestal
But you were so bloody irresponsible
Such a fall from grace illogical
I don't want to do this but I ruminate
Can't sleep and I can't concentrate
Stress pile big as my body weight
Can't stop myself, I ruminate
Don't know why I brushed aside your arrogance
And falsely thought it confidence
Where others would see duplicity
I chose to see efficiency
I don't want to do this but I ruminate
Can't sleep and I can't concentrate
Stress pile big as my body weight
Can't stop myself, I ruminate
So you can say the right words
You don't even weigh how much it hurts
But I didn't see your cowardice
I only saw the artist

Do you wonder why friends do not stay
And your heart's lonely and grey?
To find love, first give love away
Perhaps you'll see someday
When she needed reassurance
You turned your face away
But she gave you perseverance
Perhaps you’d see someday
When your friend cried out in fear and pain,
You turned your face away
She gave loyalty; you gave disdain
No empathy displayed
Til the Sun swallows the Earth in flame
She turns her face away
For the wage you earn from this is shame
You can’t escape payday
And you wonder why friends do not stay
And you heart’s lonely and grey?
To find love, first give love away
Perhaps you’ll see some day

My Story Untold
02:49
|
|||
|
I left you cold, cold, cold
So you left me broken,
And my story untold
Cold, cold, cold,
You're the King of your ice palace,
Crowned with fool's gold
On shall you strut, strut, strut,
Unaware of the black hole
At the core of your soul
Turn, turn, turn,
But the pages are empty
Your humanity's burned

Wildest
02:41

I never feel safe in my home town
Damn humans never fail to let me down
But my wounds will scab over and I will heal
With an exoskeleton of Sheffield steel
I will not be silenced
Celebrated or damned, never again will anyone force my hand
This is me at my wildest
Minus my former mildness
Hit me, hate me, but you can't hurt me
People seem to think because I smile
And I make time to discuss their problems for a while
That I will lie down and be walked on
But in the face of injustice I get locked on
I will not be silenced
Celebrated or damned, never again will anyone force my hand
This is me at my wildest
Minus my former mildness
Hit me, hate me, but you can't hurt me
I'll take it to the top and drag you to the bottom
I'll never stop, won't let it be forgotten
So I suggest just don't screw with me
Cause I'll take you to task so swiftly
I will not be silenced
Celebrated or damned, never again will anyone force my hand
This is me at my wildest
Minus my former mildness
Hit me, hate me, but you can't hurt me
