1. FALLING

I need to sleep, I need to sleep
'Cos it's making me sick now
And I need to lie down
Gotta sleep some day

'Cos it's making me hazy
And I must be so tired
'Cos I'm talking no sense
Make life seem crazy

Show me calm and watch me grow
Then it falls apart - the madness
The world seems light
My eyes are closed
I feel exposed as I float
I'm falling - I'm falling down

I need some sleep, I need to sleep
'Cos it's making me sick now
And I need to lie down
Gotta sleep some day

'Cos it's making me hazy
And I must be so tired
'Cos I'm talking no sense
Make life seem crazy

Rock me gently, catch my fall
Eyes shut tight, pure tranquility
When the curtains close, the show begins
The haze draws near
It all starts when...
I'm falling - I'm falling down


2. PRETTY

Glare's so bright, make it go now
Make it ease into a blur
Let me sink through this chair
Fall through the walls
When the sky falls to my feet...
Starts to feel good

The glare has gone
The edge is becoming a vacant line
The load's so much lighter now
I can breathe without sighing
I can sing without being paranoid
It compliments my lack of faith
It lets me decide who I'll be as I
Feel all reason slip away, fall down with a smile
And the world becomes so...pretty

I see two of her and three of him
The room begins to breathe
Everyone's so god damn pretty
As the world's busy spinning...
It's such a beautiful haze

The glare has gone
The edge is becoming a vacant line
The load's so much lighter now
I can breathe without sighing
I can sing without being paranoid
It compliments my lack of faith
It lets me decide who I'll be as I
Feel all reason slip away
Fall down with a smile
And the world becomes so...pretty


3. PLEASE BE STILL

I turn around and there you are
It used to be so nice
But then it turned into a freak show
You volunteered to be the vulnerable one
And you look so surprised
As we reel you in

You take a piece of him and a piece of her
And a piece of me to complete you
Then you wrap it up in a finishing bow
And it bores me, it bores me, it bores me
So please be still

It must be so tiring
Playing the victim
And it must be so hard
To memorise those lies
It must be confusing to look in a mirror
And every time you see a different face
One big disguise

You take a piece of him and a piece of her
And a piece of me to complete you
Then you wrap it up in a finishing bow
And it bores me, it bores me, it bores me
So please be still


4. ROUND AND ROUND

Standing here, staring out of the window
Clouds drift by like the time
Is it monday or tuesday?
June or july?

One day I feel numb
The next will be the greatest day
Not sure what's happening in my mind
But a tear escapes with a smile
It falls such a long way as I fly

Round and round, here I go
Whatever happened to the sparkle in my eyes?
The butterfly's been born
He calls my name, then he dies

And I'm laughing
I'm laughing at myself
Don't you dare laugh at me
I simply haven't given you
Permission

And I'm screaming
I'm screaming at myself
Don't come too close - you'll break in two
Trying to understand my confusion


5. IDEAL ME

Feel you watch over me
Searching through your eyes
For an ideal me
Touch me now
So the girl who fears you can give in
Then I...see you worship me
And it scares me away

And you're trying so hard
Ten out of ten for your patience
I'm sure you'll go far one day
With a girl unlike me
Girl who can meet your worth
So, someone please, help me to
Find the ideal me

Wait for you to make your move
As you know you're nearly there
So close, then reality asks
'What do you want from me
From her, from us?
And can't you settle for half a dream?'
Then I...see you worship me
And it scares me away

And you're trying so hard
Ten out of ten for your patience
I'm sure you'll go far one day
With a girl unlike me
Girl who can meet your worth
So, someone please, help me to
Find the ideal me


6. CRUELTY ON A PEDESTAL

You were my nightmare
Now you're my hatred
You were my anger
Now you just make me wanna kill

Thank God the times have changed
You're no longer my scar
Instead I am the knife in your side
The infection that suffocates your heart

So this is my therapy
God it feels so fine
As I watch you sweat violently
It makes me feel so alive
You claim I couldn't make you feel any worse
If you hang on - I'll give it a go
It's good to see you looking so cold
As I re-open your wounds and let the pain grow

I've learnt from the best
You should feel so proud
As I place you on a pedestal
Before smashing it to the floor
I thank you for teaching me how to
Place cruelty on a pedestal

Let's just see how cruel we can be
You slice my back
And I'll carve yours with sincerity
You can break me
I'll break you some more
You can try to scare me
I'll be the one scratching at your door

I've learnt from the best
You should feel so proud
As I place you on a pedestal
Before smashing it to the floor
I thank you for teaching me how to
Place cruelty on a pedestal
