Afternoon Tea With Bridget As I stare down at this blank page  I'm finding myself lost for words to say  There's so many things I need to get off my chest  And the consequences only lead to more hurt  So open your eyes wide  Let in the sunlight  Your shadow consumes me  And I’m losing too much sleep  If you truly care then won’t you believe  That when I say I’m lost  Its 'cause you’re losing me  I’m slipping through your fingers and I’m trying to hold on  But you’re letting me fall cause your own hope is gone  She’s drowning in her head but as I dive in to save her  She pulls me under and I’m screaming for a saviour  Maybe just hold on, I’d carry you ashore  But your heart of stone, it keeps us under  Take a deep breath  Resuscitate, wake up and don’t be scared  I've got your heart locked in my hands I had your heart  Locked in my hands  You’ve got your smile  That I have missed for so long  I’ve got your heart  locked in my hands  You’ve got your smile So I’ll open my eyes wide  Let in the sunlight  Your shadow consumes me  And I’m losing too much sleep

Senseless 03:43
Senseless She said there's one thing in life I've learned We're all stronger than we thought we were But I could never really grasp it Always had trouble trying to adjust to things Was it different ways of thinking? Or freeing myself from conforming? We never got used to the distance Everything passes in an instant And it’s never made sense to me So I should wise up really But I interpret things differently I fuck up what I hold dearly The way I see the world unclear Sometimes I wonder how I’m still here And my head is always aching From hitting walls in my frustration Oh humble, dear friend Put my head to rest I'm a living definition Of all things morose I couldn’t hold on to a vision Although I’ve got so much to prove And my only motivation is proving this to you ‘Cause when I fall, I fall hard I still look up at your star I try to recall what you said to me It was something about never letting go of memories The past makes us who we are You pushed me way to far My lungs are getting sore Show me the fucking door

Wendy, Darling. Whatever. If its what it takes to make you stay  Then you can be right about everything  My heart’s on my sleeve but you cursed all my dreams  Now I’m floating backwards, I’m drifting downstream  I know there's no blunt way to say it  but I can’t believe what you’ve done  I wish our story wasn’t so pathetic  I smoked my lungs out to forget it  I lied when I said that I never wanted  To see you again, it was exactly what I needed  And I feel so lost, not knowing who you are  And crawling into bed brings him back into my head so I’ll just keep writing these awful songs about  Writing better songs about you  I know my tedious melodies  Won’t bring you down to your knees  I’m fucking sick of false apologies  And bullshit that you feed to me  That light in your eyes used to glow like the sunrise  I’ve been holding onto you  But I can’t hold on much longer  It’s starting to get colder  And I wish that I was stronger

Mother 03:11
Mother Worthless at her given name Is an understatement She isn’t worthy of the blessing she was given I take it she was on her own She’ll claim it proudly I never asked but I’m guessing he was waste of her time I remember meeting you, I struggle to explain For my age, you should not have been a stranger Consistent battle in my head to call you out on this But back then I was still a kid, I just accepted it Seeing your face shroud with pain and disappointment After the phone call that she made was for your brother Hold it back, grit your teeth breathe in easy What was it that you said? “You don't miss what you never had” I see through that fucking mother illusion After everything, she's still looking for approval I’m not sorry to say She was better off without you He was better of without you We were better off without you

The Thing Is... Open your ears Your moral code's not as godly as you think You're righteous and possessive and your attitude stinks kid Bit my tongue for too long Manipulate, mutate and snake around the heads of morons I'm done and if you really see through me You'll realise I lied when I said I was truly sorry Bide my time while my teeth grind Your competence in friendship's looking fucked from here As the green smoke clears If I sing it in a style you like then Will it maybe get through to your head? I've got more on the line than the sliver of your pride I'm not sorry or playing Mr. Nice Guy It's on your head and you've been a prick again Are you listening? No Never have and I know you never will though Surprised you hear shit at all over your ego What ever happened to respect and trust and was dependancy a word you used to build yourself up? I know, you know and if you ask where next then I will tell you where to go I couldn't stand by your side if I tried I've got no intentions to hide but my snide I couldn't stand by your side if I tried You've got no alibi while my back eats your knife You know you pushed me Don't come back crying when the loneliness comes your way If you still feel so fucking proud How'd you like the sound of us now? If I sing it in a style you like then Will it maybe get through to your head? I've got more on the line than the sliver of your pride I'm not sorry or playing Mr. Nice Guy It's on your head and you've been a prick again

Piccadilly 02:49
Piccadilly I have nothing left to tell you I guess your part just doesn't fit this role Step back and take a look at yourself Your insecurities are getting old This seems somewhat familiar They say my views on this are way too cold I guess my friends are right when they say “From time to time, you’re a fucking asshole” And after all the shit I used to say Why the fuck didn’t you just walk away? I never listened to anyone but myself I know now that that has to change I won't ever look back and laugh at this A memory I wish I could misplace My shit excuses for this are endless That's something I could never overstate I'm pathetic and I'm helpless Stupid reasons you could always see through One day you'll see the light in this And realize I was never good for you I'd spare you a thought But it's clear to see It's not my fault you weren't enough for me Sorry, you weren't enough for me
