Taming the Rocket - Septimius

I stepped outside to breathe the air And stare up at the stars Big dipper hanging there Over the rented car Over the rented car I'm a runaway from the record biz From the hoods in the hood and the whiny white kids Boring! The old man is snoring And I'm taming the tiger (You can't tame the tiger) Tiger, tiger burning bright Nice, kitty kitty Tiger, tiger burning bright Sophia says "It's hard to catch And harder still to ride The time to watch the beast the best Is when it's purring at your side" Purring at your side Accolades and honors One false move and you're a goner Boring! The old man is snoring And I'm taming the tiger (You can't tame the tiger) Tiger, tiger burning bright Nice, kitty kitty Tiger, tiger burning bright In the forest of the night The moon shed light On my hopeless plight As the radio blared so bland Every disc, a poker chip Every song just a one night stand Formula music, girly guile Genuine junkfood for juveniles Up and down the dial Mercenary style I watched the stars chuck down their spears And a plane went blinking by And I thought of Anna Wild and dear Like fireworks in the sky Fireworks in the sky I'm so sick of this game It's hip, it's hot Life's too short, the whole thing's gotten Boring! The old man is snoring And I'm taming the tiger (You can't tame the tiger) Tiger, tiger burning bright Nice, kitty kitty (Boring!) Tiger, tiger burning bright (You can't tame the tiger) Oh, be nice, kitty kitty (Boring!) Tiger, tiger burning bright Nice, kitty kitty (Boring, boring!) Tiger, tiger burning bright (Fight to the light, fight to the light) In the forest of the night

When I was a kid I dreamed of flying rocket ships Of building castles in the sky Why would anyone leave that behind And I can't help but picture How life would have turned out If I had kept my sense of wonder If I hadn't squandered so much time I faded away but I'm regaining focus I'm breaking out of this daydream I haven't been talking 'Cause nothing needed to be said I've neglected thinking For there were no thoughts to be had PC It's not a wasted day if only somethings sticks this time I faded away but I'm regaining focus I've been building up steam I can't believe that the world kept turning I can't believe there's still no fade to black - You wouldn't know 'cause you failed to notice "You didn't care", the words didn't sink in - I had the feeling these walls kept closing I sought and sought but I couldn't find a crack - It's just for show, so I have been telling myself I wasted time, but now I'm back on track - Months before turning sixteen I woke up from the worst night I ever had My brother's shouts still ring so loud now The tone of his voice told me it was bad I started checking out there and then And I'm not sure if I ever got back I still get flashes left and right now Just chalk it up to panic attacks I can't believe that the world keeps turning I can't believe there's still no fade to black You wouldn't know 'cause you failed to notice "You didn't care", the words didn't sink in I have the feeling these walls keep closing I sought and sought but I couldn't find a crack It's just for show, so I've been telling myself I wasted time, but now I'm back on track

Hey Charlotte I'm hungover and sad and a drunk evening is probably nothing more than that But the five minutes we talked where a beacon in the dark And it's hitting me hard right now Tend to get lost like this a million times a week these days and I'm always afraid Hey Charlotte I've got a million things to do and my heart is heavy of worrying too much But today I'm home sick on my couch and I just can't get you out of my head Just let there be a spark this time and I'll get through all of this just fine and I've crossed a line I think you're the light at the end of the tunnel Would you run away with me? Would you set the world on fire? Would you wake up with a smile and laugh and cry with me? Please stay a while, until morning comes and takes away Doubts and reasons not to say the things I'm saying now Hey Charlotte I wish I could say I've got a master plan and I've got this all figured out But really I don't have a clue and I'm guessing neither do you Would you run away with me? Would you set the world on fire? Would you wake up with a smile and laugh and cry with me? Please stay a while, until morning comes and takes away Doubts and reasons not to say the things I'm saying now Hey Charlotte I'm hungover and sad and a drunk evening is probably nothing more than that

Before we finally decide to break up I'll need to get this of my chest Before we finally decide to go our separate ways Somewhere along this railroad Of broken dreams and insecurities I think we might have derailed ourselves At times you wanted answers But I could not give you what you want I couldn't help keeping my dumb head in the clouds I can imagine you feeling lost and all alone again When you need someone to come home to and say your sorry's And if you'll roam the streets tonight know that I'll be there too We have let this come way too far to turn back now At times you wanted answers But I could not give you what you want I couldn't help keeping my dumb head in the clouds Though I didn't have the answers I gave my all and tried to keep us sane I gave my all but it wasn't enough to save us both from the pain Stay strong Don't look back On us And what we used to be Move on - get your act together Stay strong - this couldn't last forever Don't look back - through the cracks On us And what we used to be Move on - what have we become? Stay strong - the dust will settle Don't look back - we lost track On us And what we used to be

Broken, we're both broken I wish I had something left up my sleeve Flailing unintentionally Failure to communicate got the best of me At least I'll I know I'm not alone Never meant to throw the first stone Knocking on an open door Throwing stuff right out the window Waiting for you to notice me That might never happen & I'm in too deep I've been wailing about love and fear Time will never tell if you just wait and see And if you're one day hearing this Will you recognise my voice or is That even too much to ask from you? Will you realise this song's about Me loving you and your big mouth And that you're scaring me away with all your words? At least I'll I know I'm not alone Never meant to throw the first stone Knocking on an open door Throwing stuff right out the window I should have told you - I know I would face the world but I can't bring myself to type hello We're drifting apart in open sea Oceans of forgotten memories grew so slow between you and me At least I'll I know I'm not alone Never meant to throw the first stone Knocking on an open door Throwing stuff right out the window I should have told you - I know I would face the world but I can't bring myself to type hello We're drifting apart in open sea Oceans of forgotten memories grew so slow between you and me

Every time I feel alone I see your face again, it smiles at me Every time I feel alone I think of good times and why they can't last Every time I feel alone I remember waking up next to you Every time I feel alone I see your bright eyes they make everything better I want to stop the world from turning When I'm with you Hold me tight and I will never let you go I will always follow wherever you go Distant shores wade into stormy seas I will be the one for you oh Katie When I'm lost and all alone I hear your voice and it's calling me When I'm lost and all alone I put the needle on and sing with you Then my world would stop spinning Hold me tight and I will never let you go I will always follow wherever you go Distant shores wade into stormy seas I will be the one for you oh Katie When I'm with you The world stops spinning Hold me tight Katie
