I wish I was free of this I see her in my dreams Wish that she wasn't there (but she still haunts me, and I) Still feel her breath on me Still want to taste her skin (but I know that would kill me) No Damn her, still, I choke on her lies Still reeling from her last caress, her goodbye Oh, how this sickens me This wretched fools' affair (I can't erase this from me) And now it permeates And every thought I feel The anger writhes in my soul No Damn her, still, I feel my stomach turn Choke back, hold my head high, I'm strong No Damn her, still, I choke on her lies Not reeling, I'm strong Damn her, still I feel my stomach turn Choke back, hold my head high, I'm strong No Damn her, still, I choke on her lies Not reeling, I'm strong I wish I was free of this

Have not the strongest And closest ties been bound so long I've called upon them They remind me where I'm from With deep conviction I am connected cross the miles Without them nothing worth relying on It's been so long since I could say I've needed anything stronger We can't give up if we have ties that bind us If I rely and I know the strength In those who taught me of the Power in the ties that bind When I turn inward And look for strength within my self And demonstrations Of courage Are the result If inspiration Is wholly shared Then more is the gain Then I will follow The selfless actions displayed It's been so long since I could say I've needed anything stronger We can't give up if we have Ties that bind us If I rely and I know the strength In those who taught me of the Power in the ties that bind We are made powerful (We are made powerful) It's been so long since I could say I've needed anything stronger We can't give up when we have Ties that bind us If I rely and I know the strength In those who taught me of the Power in the ties that bind We are made powerful (We are made powerful) We are made powerful (We are made powerful)

I'm wise enough to know These promises pernicious The fruit of what was sown And still I'm reeling Mistrust forevermore The wake you left is vicious Your hate can't help but show And still I'm reeling Just throwing coins in a wishing well Break walls that you had built yourself I'm done with all the lies you speak No more will turn the other cheek How could I have ever thought it'd be worth it? You're falling farther and farther and farther and farther apart How is it you don't know? I'm wise enough to know These promises pernicious The fruit of what was sown And still I'm reeling Mistrust forevermore The wake you left is vicious Your hate can't help but show And still I'm reeling I growing tired, you manipulate Your words, they further aggravate I drew the line, now will you make a move Weakness, that's what's inside of you I am still warm from transgression, aggression I still feel the sting, can't help but question And suffer the wrath of conditions created by you How can I have ever thought it'd be worth it? We're falling farther apart How is it you don't know? I'm wise enough to know These promises pernicious The fruit of what was sown And still I'm reeling Mistrust forevermore The wake you left is vicious Your hate can't help but show And still I'm reeling

Binary lie never scratch it on my skin But you'd loved to see the mark just to fill the blackness in I know what you are You're the last thing I see as my lungs fill I'll be god damned if you didn't love the sin While you offer up advice just to keep your secrets in I know what you are You're the last breath I breathe as my lungs fill Fuck love It only goes away There's no god damn good in this goodbye you made me say Don't love ever again Fuck love Your promise was in vain There's no god damn good in this goodbye you made me say Don't love ever again Counting all the days that deception was the game I lived every single day just to keep my promises I can't hide the scar Now my last breath is yours and my lungs fill Didn't see the snake that was signaling the change I'll be damned for my sleep but still I hold you to blame Still hold you to Fuck love It only goes away There's no god damn good in this goodbye you made me say Don't love ever again Fuck love Your promise was in vain There's no god damn good in this goodbye you made me say Don't love ever again I can't hide these scars I can't hide these scars Fuck love Fuck love

Lately, I've had this bad sinking feeling A premonition There ain't gonna be a happy ending No happy ending And I've been trying to reach out And hold you The more I try, I push you away From me Away from me Maybe I'll go down to Clonakilty Got friends over there, I could work for Maybe the good times and the memories Might change your mind If I ask you this time To go with me go with me No matter in this world, where you wander What matters is how you live in this world Maybe the good times and the memories If I ask you this time You might change your mind And come with me And come with me Lately, I've had this bad sinking feeling A premonition, there ain't going to be a happy ending No happy ending

Smoking weed goes fast and faster See his eyes lit up with joy Mixing pleasure with disaster Got a job as a pizza boy Got a job as a pizza boy Up on the pavement With the wheel bent One more job and he's done Going the wrong way down the one-way Hit the road and he's gone Fifty orders to deliver From the poor to the hoi polloi Throw them all into the river Loves his job as a Pizza boy Loves his job as a Pizza boy Sneak on the inside Through the red light One more job and he's done Going the wrong way on the one-way Hit the road and he's gone Oooooooh Oh sweet Jesus The brakes I'm falling The road is so hard And the angels are calling Me Are calling Me Back on the pavement Through the red light One more job and he's done Back on the one-way going the wrong way Hit the road and he's gone

I've got bad thoughts on my mind Nobody knows the trouble I'm in So dark they make me feel blind Nobody knows, but me I'm way in over my head Nobody knows that trouble I'm in Spend more and more days in bed Nobody knows, but me My sorrow, sorrow sorrow Got my back up against the wall Nobody knows the trouble I'm in Stand-up, struggle and fall Nobody knows, but me Every stake is doubled and paid Nobody knows the trouble, I'm in Boxed in, can't wait to escape Nobody knows, but me My sorrow, sorrow sorrow Hungry babies don't understand What makes their daddy, a worrying man Losing money losing sleep Making promises that you can't keep hey Somethings gonna give My Sorrow Sorrow Sorrow

Cold alone, and lonely past the stroke of time A mother had a baby looked just fine There was something wrong, he couldn't breathe too easily The Doctors. Put that boy in the machine Holding onto life He clung onto the world Found himself a place to call a home But There was something wrong He couldn't think too easily The doctors kept that boy in the machine He used to laugh, he like to dream The boy was stuck in the machine Till he found someone to help him find a way Tried to make sense of himself And not rely on someone else The machine had found its way inside the boy So he found himself a life And a wife to call his own He found himself a way to get along There was much less wrong He could breathe more easily The story of that boy in the machine
