Mother I've got me a problem
I'm broken, I feel so ashamed
My lust is a cancer consuming
I'm back to the old sordid games
Sister I feel my skin blister
Scorched by the fiery flames
Don't know why I do what I'm doing
But I make these mistakes just the same
My dream had dried up, now I'm left here alone
I'm searching my soul but the feeling has flown
I'm craving the comfort that I had once known
Mama bring me back, bring me back to my home
Father I fear I'm a failure
I brought you nothing but pain
And only defiled all you gave me
Tainting the family name
Sister I feel my skin blister
Scorched by the fiery flames
Don't know why I do what I'm doing
But I do it again and again and again and again
My dream had dried up, now I'm left here alone
I'm searching my soul but the feeling has flown
I can't find the words when we talk on the phone
Mama bring me back, bring me back now
My dream had dried up, now I'm left here alone
I'm searching my soul but the feeling has flown
I'm craving the comfort that I had once known
Mama bring me back, bring me back to my home

No Relief
04:15
|

|
Feels like I’m unravelling
Could be I’m losing the thread
Each breath is closer to death
Or am I already dead
Just feels like nothing is right
This world’s a mess of mistakes
I want to stand up and fight
Instead I break down and ache
There’s no reward for being real
When all is plastic and fake
We’re all constrained by these chains
Oh how I long to escape
It’s this constant, craving hunger
It drives me onward as it drags me under
Oh no, no
No I can get no inner peace
There’s no relief and there’s no release
Nothing ahead but pain and grief
There’s no relief and there’s no release
I hold my ground and I grit my teeth
But there’s no relief and there’s no release
I stand and stare in disbelief
There’s no relief and there’s no
Release me, release me, release me, release me, release me, release me now
And so we see there’s no future
No life, no light and no love
We went and sent out the raven
Now where’s the hope for the dove
Is there a chance of dry land
An earthly have of peace
No one’s expecting the famine
When we’re engorged on the feast
It’s like we’re hooked on a reel
Drawn like a moth to the flame
If I get burned I might feel
Oh how I long for that pain
It’s this constant, craving hunger
It drives me onward as it drags me under
Oh no, no
No I can get no inner peace
There’s no relief and there’s no release
Nothing ahead but pain and grief
There’s no relief and there’s no release
I hold my ground and I grit my teeth
But there’s no relief and there’s no release
I stand and stare in disbelief
There’s no relief and there’s no
Release me, release me, release me, release me, release me, release me now

All I'm offering you is love
What is it you're so afraid of
When you hurt and you hide all away
I implore you to take me on
I reach for you and then you're gone
Now I call out and ask you to stay
But the flesh is weak and my will's not strong
I tried so hard but I can't hold on
I lived my life by my lust so long
And I hate myself for what I've become
I hurt myself so I don’t feel numb
It feels so right when it’s all so wrong
The flesh is weak and my will's not strong
The flesh is weak, my will's not strong
We're both alone in our separate rooms
Rubbing salt into open wounds
Bashing heads against the walls
In our worlds we fail and fall
‘Cause the flesh is weak and my will's not strong
I tried so hard but I can't hold on
I lived my life by my lust so long
And I hate myself for what I've become
I hurt myself so I don’t feel numb
It feels so right when it’s all so wrong
The flesh is weak and my will's not strong
The flesh is weak, my will's not strong
All the failings of my feelings
Dashed against the walls and ceilings
I was standing, now I'm kneeling
Vulnerability revealing
If you were here today
Than our tomorrows could be better
I'd be your raft to cling to
Get you through this stormy weather
All I'm offering you is love
What is it you're so afraid of
When you hurt and you hide all away
When you're lost and you have no hope
Stand by me we'll find ways to cope
Where there's will we can still find a way
You are all that I want to keep
But the flesh and my will is weak
You are all that I want to keep
But the flesh and my will is weak

So when they’ve trampled your dreams
And when they’ve crushed all desire
That’s when you may as well quit
That’s when it’s time to retire
There’s nothing left to achieve
Nothing to which you aspire
But still my heart somehow bleeds
Still I’m consumed by this fire
I struggle to rise against
All those who’d want me to change
Repress my heart and repent
Don’t try to tell me what’s strange
So I’ve got strangeways
Does that make me wrong
Well you’d have strangeways
If you just didn’t belong
But still I fought my way through
God knows I’ve tried to be strong
It’s like my mind’s in a maze
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
It’s all these panic attacks
They keep on holding me back
I try to rise to the light
But just sink in to the black
I came to far down this road
I came too fast of this track
And now I’m feeling the strain
Beginning to see the cracks
And still you say that I’m weird
My mind’s disturbed and deranged
I’m everything that you feared
Don’t try to tell me what’s strange
So I’ve got strangeways
Is that what you think
Well you’d have strangeways
If you were pushed to the brink
Thought hope could keep me afloat
Seems like I can’t help but sink
Is this the price I must pay
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
So I’ve got strangeways
Does that make me wrong
Well you’d have strangeways
If you just didn’t belong
But still I fought my way through
God knows I’ve tried to be strong
My head and heart’s in a daze
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
…Is that what you think
Well you’d have strangeways
If you were pushed to the brink
I’ve never been like the rest
And no it’s not just a phase
Maybe it’s you that’s repressed
So, so, so what if I’ve got strangeways
So what if you’ve got strangeways
So what if we’ve got strangeways

Time takes its toll
Takes us all
Makes us small again
We all have to fall
In the end
To descend from when
We used to play games
To make light
And what we’d fight about
Is all in the past
It don’t last
It’s not right to bring
These things up again
We made peace
We made friends at least
But now here we are
All alone
To atone for all the
Hopes and the dreams
That we had
When we were young and mad
And glad to shine bright
To feel right
So let’s not fight about it
Time won’t wait
It slips away
It’s not too late
To seize the day
Time takes its toll
Takes us all
Makes us small again
We all have to fall
In the end
To descend from when
We used to play games
To make light
And what we’d fight about
Is all in the past
It don’t last
It’s not right to bring
These things up again
We made peace
We made friends at least
But now here we are
All alone
To atone for all the
Hopes and the dreams
That we had
When we were young and mad
And glad to shine bright
To feel right
So let’s not fight about it
Time won’t wait
It slips away
Don’t hesitate
Seize the day

Come Crawling
03:52
|

We fucked up, now I’ve fallen
When you call my name I’ll come crawling
I don’t hear you calling
But when you call my name I’ll come
My self-worth is stalling
When you call my name I’ll come crawling
I don’t hear you calling
But if you called my name I’d come crawling back
Once we both stood in the same room
Now you have closed the door to me
And left me lurking in the gloom
Your shadow still hangs over me
And why now would you want me back
With all my insecurity
When I can only do you harm
I’m poison to your purity
We fucked up, now I’ve fallen
When you call my name I’ll come crawling
I don’t hear you calling
But when you call my name I’ll come
My self-worth is stalling
When you call my name I’ll come crawling
I don’t hear you calling
But if you called my name I’d come crawling back
To how it was all once before
With noting less and nothing more
Of anything
I never once demanded of you
I guess you never knew me when
Our two lives first did interweave
Your heart was open to me then
And I wanted you, wanted you to want me
Now it’s time to set you free
To sink into obscurity
And never have you close to me
I’m poison to your purity
We fucked up, now I’ve fallen
When you call my name I’ll come crawling
I don’t hear you calling
But when you call my name I’ll come
My self-worth is stalling
When you call my name I’ll come crawling
I don’t hear you calling
But if you called my name I’d come crawling back
Still you said you loved me
And you kept me begging please
You let me love you
And you left me on my knees
