Lyrics


1.personal holloway
tune my weaker eye :: spit white :: hold the world up all day
:: she's blue in the face again :: sleep the darkness all away
:: and drinking kitchen paint to dye the winter i hope we'll
never see again :: deaf and dumb with the lights on :: deaf
and dumb with the lights on :: married by signs :: married by
signs
personal holloway :: six month linen :: but's safe to say we
are alone :: suburban suicide :: watching night come amber ::
it's all so temporary :: move a little way :: move a little
way now :: move a little way :: move a little way now :: bleed
life :: breathe life :: could be a better plan :: paracetamol
:: could be a better plan :: could be a better plan



2.greedy fly

do you feel the way you hate :: do you hate the way you feel
:: always closest to the flame :: ever closer to the blade

i am poison crazy lush :: built these hands to lift me up ::
we are servants to our formulaic ways :: i'm screaming daisies
:: from 14 miles away :: i've got my own time :: got it all
today :: make up your mind :: i need some help :: to find this
mind

limbo this and limbo that :: you were this and you were that
:: ever know that what you fear is what you find :: this indian
summer :: i signed my life away :: there's a greedy fly in here
:: and i fly away




3.swallowed

warm sun feed me up :: i'm leery loaded up :: loathing for a
change :: and i slip some boil away :: swallowed followed ::
heavy about everything but my love :: swallowed sorrowed ::
i'm with everyone and yet not :: i'm with everyone and yet not
:: i'm with everyone and yet not

just wanna be myself :: hey you said that you would love to
try some :: hey you said that you would love to die some ::
in the middle of a world on a fishhook :: you're the wave ::
you're the wave :: you're the wave

swallowed borrowed :: heavy about everything but my love ::
swallowed hollowed :: sharp about everyone but yourself :: swallowed
oh no :: i'm with everyone and yet not :: i'm with everyone
and you're not :: i'm with everyone and yet not

piss on self-esteem :: forward :: busted knee :: sick head ::
blackened lungs :: and i'm a simple :: selfish son :: swallowed
followed :: swallowed oh no :: i'm with everyone and yet not
:: got to get away from here :: i miss the one that i love a
lot :: i miss the one that i love a lot




4.insect kin

iron lung i know you well :: deal with you like a bad spell
:: see the trail moon burns :: red stripe and vicadin :: you
were the only one :: you're the censor :: you'll never people
me :: i'm not defenseless :: in the afternoon as the light dims
:: build a life out of all this semtex :: you're the brightest
one :: you were the center :: the perfect opposite of what you
asked for :: it's not just one way :: a negative factor :: with
all these wasps out :: i'd better take cover :: copper tongue
beam me up :: lonely without my impediments :: start to save
what we used to steal :: walking on gelatin :: i never noticed
you were the brightest one :: you were wide of me just like
the English sun :: you caught the light again :: in a perfect
way :: the biggest threat of all :: is in the alley way :: you're
the demon seed you're the factor :: feel better with a little
bit of plaster :: it's not just one way a negative factor ::
with all these wasps out :: better take cover :: there's all
the pain :: in the way she talks :: all the pain in the way
she walks :: all the pain in her wave goodbye :: all the pain
in the way she smiles :: all the pain in her fatal charm ::
all the pain in her arms




5.cold contagious

wherever you are :: you will carry always :: truth of the scars
:: and the darkness of your faith :: slowly move on :: how did
we get to here :: it all went wrong :: gravity claiming all
your tears :: everything looks :: so much better now :: you
will get yours :: you have no right :: to ask me now :: you
were never that around :: i have missed :: reality day trips
and your :: suit me suit me ways :: turn out the light switch
:: we've been awake for days :: and no-one's coming round ::
here no more :: you will get yours :: you have no right :: to
calm me down :: you were never that around :: i have missed
:: cold contagious :: all the mighty mighty men :: what you
save is what :: you lose out in the end :: cold contagious ::
paint your perfect day :: i don't mind this :: i'm better off
by the way :: deeply grounded :: you will get yours :: cold
contagious :: all the mighty mighty men :: what you save is
what you lose :: out in the end :: cold contagious




6.a tendency to start fires

strange zoo, strange blaze :: douse my head in flames :: coming
through got to get some :: happiness is a bad son :: forceps
:: kitchen tools :: deconstruct your every move :: feels better
when you're here :: guillotine just got here :: back bend, back
break :: please yourself to make it rate :: live it all at your
own cost :: so many just got lost :: leaning for fire :: leaning
to fire :: leaning to fire :: here's tomorrow man :: best of
my ability :: chasing what i can :: here's tomorrow man :: instinct,
bare boned :: light it up, take it home :: you will be all things
:: you'll get what you bring :: leaning to fire :: leaning to
fire :: leaning to fire :: here's tomorrow man :: best of my
ability :: chasing watercans :: here's tomorrow man :: best
of my civility :: with our own tongue :: here's tomorrow man

you gave me this :: made me give :: your silver grin :: still
sticking it in :: you have soul machine :: soul machine :: the
longest kiss :: peeling furniture days :: drift madly to you

your mouth :: your loaded smiles :: pretty just desserts ::
wish it all for you :: so much it never hurts :: you have soul
machine :: stone at me :: all your mental armor drags me down
:: we can't breathe when you come around :: all your mental
armor drags me down :: nothing hurts like your mouth mouth mouth

been missing long before :: never found our way home :: we've
been missing long before :: where we'll find our way :: you
gave me this :: made me give :: you have soul machine :: broken

all your mental armor :: and your mouth mouth




8.straight no chaser

always be there :: face i live with :: always be there :: face
i live with :: abscess memory with broken fingers :: all the
fallen down angels :: raw pain distress :: it's all in the way
we know that we could have it all :: some satellites of pain
can't always be ignored :: war on all sides :: war on all sides
:: drink life as it comes :: straight no chaser :: drink life
as it comes :: straight no chaser :: climb inside you :: away
from strangers :: building a system of alleys and motorways
:: it's all in the way that we know we could have it all ::
some satellites of pain can't always be ignored :: it's all
in the face of what we thought we knew before :: war on all

losing you :: there's nothing like losing you :: there's nothing

dark :: rest of our lives :: might have already passed



13.distant voices

i never thought i'd get away :: cos all there is fading fast
today :: maybe you sleep well in your head :: bring on the night
let the cold moon burn instead :: cos i'm gonna find my way
:: to the sun :: if i destroy myself :: swallowing habits die
real hard :: and the coat she wore could not conceal the scars
:: beneath the magic of her lace :: are a thousand lonely faces
she can't place :: cos i'm gonna find my way to the sun :: if
i destroy myself :: i can shine on :: i'm gonna find my way
to the sun :: when i destroy myself :: i can shine on :: shine
:: sooner or later masturbate or lose :: stationary west way
running from the view :: in true the self destructive veins
:: we have found a way to keep the gifts that maims :: cause
i'm gonna find my way to the sun :: if i destroy myself i can
move on :: i'm gonna find my way to the sun :: if i destroy
myself i can shine on :: shine :: i'm gonna find my way to the
sun :: if i destroy myself i can shine on :: shine
