Look at me the beautiful unused All the people I don't want Look at this body and this face Thinking of me when they masturbate But the one I want He doesn't see This beauty before him So no wonder I fantasise about One who tells me That I'm beautiful from his heart And I feel wasted I'm all alone here I'm all alone here It's good to know who I am I'm nobody's whore but I'd like to be I'm nobody's muse but I'd like to be I need somebody equal to me In effort in love in care I don't like dishonesty And I don't like always doing everything No affection no care no nothing Just you doing doing your own stuff No affection no care no nothing Just you doing

Rescue 01:18
I sit here upon an imaginary peak Taking stock and thinking over what has happened here Did I hear you call my name as I walked up to the snow? Did I see you running after me, were you ever there? Can you feel my words around you my warm words upon your neck? Do you feel a chill and shudder whilst I think what to say next? When you close your eyes to sleep do you see me there beside you? When you sleep do you dream of me lying there beside you? Can you feel a repetition in the air? Do I hate you if I act like I don't care? How can you take me over without noticing a part of you is gone? When you notice do you search for my secret hiding place? You must first undo the chains that hold me to this hand Can you feel the current in them. Oh you try you can't break free so come rescue what you're missing and alongside rescue me

America 03:28
Slaggin off America, isn't gonna get us too far And me nit picking your sensitive bits won't make me rich Who wants to escape? Oh I'm crazy in love Give me a break, I'm crazy bout us Yes that means you, you're part of my song You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong Do you say no war and then fight with your partner? Right here is where peace starts, right here is where it starts How many times have you needed a hand to hold? It's hard being vulnerable, it's hard on the edge Everybody wants to be part of something You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong I fight to write this song, cos I've got voices says it's wrong I'm so unbearably angry that I can't make you happy But if I limit my own life, Ive got nothing to share Apart from my sadness, and my despair How do you help people who don't wanna be helped You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong You may know this already, but i'll tell you again You're strong, I'm strong, they're strong. We're strong

Every Car 04:34
Every car I hear I hope it’s yours Every footstep outside the window I hope it’s yours You’re probably drunk and content But tonight I am not merry I come home hoping you called but you never do I’d call you but the sound of my voice seems to send you in to hatred The sound of your voice makes me… you don’t wanna know. You don’t wanna know I’ll sit trying to turn my mind around, around, around But it keeps going through, through what we’ve been through Pushing past everything bad Focusing on all that was successful Already it’s was not know it’s not forever I didn’t want forever, you just don’t want now I know you’ll regret it, god I’ll regret it too I wish I could stop it but I’ve no power I can try manipulation but with no power I come home hoping you called but you never do I’d call you but the sound of my voice seems to send you in to hatred The sound of your voice makes me… you don’t wanna know. You don’t wanna know Every car I hear I hope it’s yours Every footstep outside the window I hope it’s yours You’re probably drunk and content But tonight, but tonight I am not meri But tonight, but tonight, but tonight I'm not myself

You listen, I see your tears Behind my smile, I feel my tears, well in my head Aching to fall out Knowing it was totally inappropriate Anyone close, Want them gone, Leave me alone Anyone close, Want them gone, Leave me alone Get off me, Just got off on me All I could feel was your strong arms around me All I wanted and all I felt came next I just kept on talking always kept on talking Like you weren’t important at all Anyone close, Want them gone, Leave me alone Anyone close, Want them gone, Leave me alone Get off me, Just got off on me Guess I need to want all of it Then someone will know who I am And it will be ok To be sad sometimes Cos sometimes life is sad I just wanted, just wanted, just wanted to put those pieces back Ahhh ah ah ah ah Anyone close, Want them gone, Leave me alone Anyone close, Want them gone, Leave me alone Get off me, Just got off on me I’m just one of those people Who cries a lot But I want to be my own doctor, then I never need hurt If anyone goes away ever again If anyone goes away ever again

Summer Rain 03:48
There’s a kinda agony In this pure consistency There’s a kinda pain As I laugh in the sweet summer rain Sometimes I’d like to share it Sometimes it’s only for me Sometimes I’d like to fuck everyone to see if it makes me happy But I know what I’ve done before I know where I’ve gone wrong before And now my determination is so resolute on paper But when I’m sitting feeling Just a little bit lonely I just want a person to share with, a person to care with A person to sit beside me so I feel comfortable so free But I know I just gotta get me a little piece of me And my dreams will no longer hold me chained they’ll be reality As soon as I forget them As soon as I forget them As soon as I forget them And start living instead I’m on the right path making all the right causes Doing good this time I’m not crying too much All I need to do is let go, just let go of my shit Let go of all around me and just be just be free

Feel Free 04:05
So why would I step back into uncertainty Each time i go to call you I'm hurting already I'm starving myself just thinking of seeing you Unhealthy unhealthy addiction I can't help myself But I feel safer where I am I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent There's unfinished business and it's time to finish it Eyes all blurred can't see to write To set myself free perhaps i need to It's complicated and feels like sacrifice I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent So i will be i will do i resolve this now Never again never again will i let you tear my world out From under me like you did before You can't help it I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent I feel free I feel good Feel excited Independent I had to come in here Back into this room 'Cos i was crying next door Thinking about what i could've done

Then I see her. Loving her songs Makes me jealous makes me feel like I should just give up. When she had it all Wanted her to go away But had to look after too So I wasn’t too sure what to do So loved with competition, loved with fighting Just like mummy did, like daddy did I learnt it, look how I learnt to do it No wonder I was violent sometimes No wonder I smoke trying not to kill people So better to kill my self So much better if I wasn’t here. Everyone would be happy Wanted her to go away But had to look after too So I wasn’t too sure what to do So loved with competition, loved with fighting Just like mummy did, like daddy did I learnt it, look how I learnt to do it Wanted her to go away But had to look after too So I wasn’t too sure what to do So loved with competition, loved with fighting Just like mummy did, like daddy did I learnt it, look how I learnt to do it Arms hurting, Can’t do anything Driving like a maniac. Can’t communicate. Trying to drag everyone else down Never wanted to be better, till I got less attention You said I would feel like this, Cos it’s just another. Of your creations Wanted her to go away But had to look after too So I wasn’t too sure what to do So loved with competition, loved with fighting Just like mummy did, like daddy did I learnt it, look how I learnt to do it Wanted her to go away But had to look after too So I wasn’t too sure what to do So loved with competition, loved with fighting Just like mummy did, like daddy did I learnt it, look how I learnt to do it

I don’t need your spare guitar and I don’t need your help, I don’t need a thing from anyone Cos I can do it myself I just need love love love I just need love love love I just need love love love I don’t need anything else Everyone is self obsessed Apart from a wise old few And we all need wide screen washing machines More than we need you I don’t see much commitment To friends or family Is it that I push people away Cos being close it scares me I just need love love love I just need love love love I just need love love love I don’t need anything else I moved into this city and sometimes I wonder why And I wish that it was darker here So I could sleep at night I’d love to write the most beautiful song And move you all to tears I just need love love love I just need love love love I just need love love love I don’t need anything else
