Devil In Me
Well, I can't get the devil
Outside of me, outside of me
No, I can't get the devil
Outside of me, outside of me
Well, I hate the world and everything I see
Everything I see, everything I see
And I'll never get the devil
Outside of me, outside of me
Well, I hate the world and everything I see
And everything I see, everything I see
I don't believe the word and what it gave to me
What it gave to me, what it gave to me
Well, I don't live, I just breathe
I don't give and I don't recieve
And I'll never get the devil
Outside of me, outside of me
Well, I don't get all the good things
You said I'd see, you said I'd see
And I don't see the light
Surrounding me, surrounding me
But I've see lovers walking free
And I see red each time you say
That all the good things that are gonna come my way
And I don't know you and you don't know me
I know what I want, what I can be
And I'll never get the devil
Outside of me, outside of me
Outside of me, outside of me
Outside of me, outside of me
Outside of me, outside of me
Outside of me, outside of me
Such A Fool
Don't you know you're such a fool
To keep on acting like you do?
Don't you know you're such a fool
To keep on acting like you do?
You're a fool to play things cool
When you've got everything to lose
You hurt the ones you love the most
Every time you lose your head
Hurt the ones you love the most
Every time you lose your head
Well you shoot them down when they're too close
And you've lost another friend
Told the girl you love the best
She could never get inside of you
Told the girl you love the best
She could never get inside of you
And you started to regret
And you began to think things through
Lord, what a stupid thing to do
What a stupid thing to do
Lord, what a stupid thing to do
What a thing for me to do
What a thing for me to do
Lord, what a stupid thing to do
What a thing for me to do
Baby Brings Bad News
I'm getting sick of everyone I'm with
I'm getting sick of keeping positive
And I'm getting bored of putting on a smile
And I've been so good, but it doesn't do me no good
Yeah I've been so good, but it doesn't pay like it should
Lord, it's so hard to keep your head
When you've got everything to lose
And baby just brings bad news
As she goes running through
I'm getting sick of cleaning up the mess
And I'm getting sick of his helplessness
And I'm getting bored of feeling insecure
And I'm getting bored of looking at his bedroom door
I'm getting bored of the songs he sings
That I've heard a million times before
Lord, it's so hard to keep your head
When you've got everything to lose
And baby just brings bad news
As she goes running through
Lord, it's so hard to keep your friends
When you own everything they choose
So baby just sings the blues
To anyone who seems to care
Lord, it's so hard to keep your head
When you've got everything to lose
And baby just brings bad news
As she goes running through
Lord, it's so easy when you're on the floor
When you've got nothing left to lose
So baby just cries for food
Off anyone who won't refuse
Off anyone who won't refuse
Off anyone who won't refuse
22 Days
For all of the times I tried to make you see
Well, I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry
But I still don't understand who you expected me to be
But I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry
Well, I'm sorry for you and I'm sorry for me
Goodbye babe
Well I'm up off my knees
You're so easy to love
But you're so hard to please
I'm not looking for acceptance
I'm not looking for a place
I'm not trying to impress you
I'm not looking for praise
But I was looking for something behind your face
Goodbye babe
Well, your beauty's so rare
You're so easy to love
But there's nothing really there
Twenty two countries in twenty two days
With you in my head, with you in my head
Twenty two nights, just trying to erase
Every word that you said, every word that you said
Well, it still makes me sick I was so easily lead
Goodbye babe
Well, it's hard to turn round
You're so easy to love
And you're so hard to tie down
Friends
Trying to find where trouble ends
I've found out it's in your friends
People looking for success
Think it comes in cash and cheques
I know love don't grow on trees
Trusting something comes with ease
Women move like hurricanes
Trying to find someone to blame
Even you, you do it too
You just don't see the harm you do
Trying to find where trouble ends
I've found out it's in your friends
Ambitions spreading like disease
Affects the way that people see
Even you, you change your ways
You just don't seem to care these days
Trying to find where trouble ends
I've found out it's in your friends
I've done things I shouldn't do
Taken things to get me through
I've been sinking in the sand
Always had a helping hand
Trying to find where trouble ends
I've found out it's in your friends

Spin me some sad story
Sell me some excuse
To help me understand the things you do
'Cause the way you treat your lovers
Well, I just can't relate
Well, where'd you learn to shoot your gun so straight?
Oh, baby won't you cry?
Show me there's some tears behind your eyes
Oh, baby won't you cry?
Show me there's a hurt behind your eyes
Once you had a reason
And once you had a place
You had it all and laid it all to waste

But why'd you need to hate?
And where'd you learn to shoot without restraint?
Oh, baby won't you cry?
You cut yourself, so let me see you bleed
Oh, baby won't you cry?
Cry for all the things you'll never be
Don't you see your father?
Don't you feel the love?
Don't you see your brother?
Don't you feel the love?
Well, could you be a mother?
Could you ever find the love
That you would not place yourself above?
Oh, baby won't you cry?
Show me there's some tears behind your eyes
Oh, baby won't you cry?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
The Things That Lovers Do
If I didn't have a mind
We could love like actors do
I'd tell you lines you want to hear
Act the way you want me to
We could live behind the screen
We could live it scene by scene
If I didn't have a mind
I know I wouldn't miss a cue
I know you wish we could do
The things that lovers do
I wish I could dance with you
But girl my feet don't move
If I didn't have a heart
I know I wouldn't miss a beat
Sweep you girl right off your feet
Sweep you out into the street
Leave you crying on the floor
Leave you crying out for more
If I didn't have a heart
I'd be the one you're looking for
Be the one you're looking for
Be the one you're looking for

You could do better to remember who you're talking to

Strangers in my back yard
Selling you beliefs
Danger in my empire
Trouble on the streets

Baby You're Not In Love
Something in the way we touch
You hold my hand but hold back so much
Some things change and some things don't
Something I can't put my finger on
Baby you're not in love
I've tried to be the boy you knew
So I cut my hair and I cleaned my shoes
But I'd been cheating on myself
Saying we could make it through
Baby you're not in love
Love is cruel, love is hard
Love, it makes you blue
Grips your heart without regard
For the ones who don't love you
I've tried to be the boy you knew
So I cut my hair and I cleaned my shoes
But I'd been cheating on myself
Thinking we could make it through
Baby you're not in love
Got Messed Up

I didn't mean to treat you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
I didn't mean to take it out on you
I didn't mean to make you blue
Yeah, but I got messed up, lost my mind
Got messed up, lost my mind
Got messed up and lost my mind

And I cleaned up my shoes too
I did it for you

And I changed my style to suit you
And I changed everything I knew
I did it for you

Trying to remind myself how you used to be
Stand on your two feet

Stand on your two feet

And I lost myself trying to get you through
I wanna love you but you make it so hard to do
Please let down your guard
Please let down your guard
Just for a while, let me see you smile
Please let down your guard
The Light
I walked down lonely streets for miles
I came so far just for a smile
I killed the ones I'd left behind
Love finds a way to bend your mind
I had the light in my eyes
And I was blind and I lost my way somehow
I thought that I needed you
But I was weak and I'm stronger than that now
I walked down lonely streets for you
I did the things you asked me to
I killed the ones I'd left behind
Love finds a way to bend your mind
I had the light in my eyes
And I was blind and I lost my way somehow
I thought that I needed you
But I was weak and I'm stronger than that now
I had the light in my eyes
And I was blind and I lost my way somehow
I thought that I needed you
But I was weak and I'm stronger than that now

And I was blind and I lost my way somehow
I thought that I needed you
But I was weak and I'm stronger than that now

Well, I can't rest easy
Until I see your head on the ground
Well, it might be in ten years
And it might be in a week
If I get there too late
I'm gonna get you in your sleep
But I swear, well, I swear I'm gonna cut you down
Well, eye for eye and tooth for tooth
You gave me lies, now here's the truth
I swear, I swear I'm gonna cut you down
Yeah, I swear, swear I'm gonna cut you down

Heart On A String
Taking the thick and the thin
Afraid to complain, no use complaining
You know your heart's on a string
Hiding the feelings away
Scared to offend, dreading the ending
You know your heart's on a string
Try to pretend, try to pretend
That you’re in control
Try to deny, try to deny
You’re under control
Waiting patiently through
The lack of affection returning the silence
Don’t show your heart's on a string
Staying alone in the evening
Waiting for fate and hating the weakness
Don’t show your heart's on a string
Try to pretend, try to pretend
That you’re in control
Try to deny, try to deny
You’re under control
Heart's on a string taking care not to break it
Heart's on a string taking care not to shake it
Heart's on a string just a twist it could tear you apart
Heart's on a string taking care not to break it
Heart's on a string so aware not to shake it
Heart's on a string just a twist it could tear it apart
You won’t complain
No, you won’t complain
No, you won’t complain
You’ll take, you’ll take the thick and the thin
You’ll take, you’ll take the thick and the thin
And it's only a twist, only a twist and it's gone
Only a twist, only a twist, only a twist, only a twist and you’re gone
Heart's on a string so aware not to break it
Heart's on a string so aware not to shake it
Heart's on a string just a twist it could tear you apart
Heart's on a string taking care not to break it
Heart's on a string so aware not to shake it
Heart's on a string just a twist it could tear you apart
Just a twist it could tear it apart
Just a twist it could tear it apart
Just a twist it could tear it apart
Just a twist it could tear it apart
Bitter Pills
Bitter pills and alcohol
Sorry if I made a scene
Bitter pills and alcohol
Couldn’t bear to kiss his feet
Everybody’s going somewhere
My life’s going nowhere moving so, so slow
Slate grey days in my white walls
Nothing to talk about
Slate grey days in my white walls
Couldn’t bear to hear about
Everybody going somewhere
My life’s going nowhere moving so, so slow
I should have stayed safely away
I’ve shown you up once again
But please understand, please understand
I’m still getting used to the passenger side
And restlessness twists in the brain coming on like a train
Through the signals and straight through the gate
So please understand, it comes out all wrong
It isn’t me, it’s the mix I was on
Bitter pills and alcohol
Sorry if I made a scene
Bitter pills and alcohol
Couldn’t bear to kiss his feet
And everybody’s going somewhere
My life’s going nowhere moving so, so slow
Talk To Me
Talk to me, talk to me
Keep my mind from wandering
Fears alive, the air is dead
Keep me from the silence
No defense against the ghost
At the end I need you most
Talk to me, talk to me
When the morning breaks
When the morning breaks
Come to me, come to me
Sweep away the last remains
Highs are gone
Only one way left to go
My defense against the ghost
At the end I need you most
Come to me, come to me
When the morning breaks
When the morning breaks
When the morning breaks
When the morning breaks
It's such a cold, cold light
Three thousand miles away
Is this a trap I’m in
It used to be escape
Are you my friend or my worst enemy?
Talk to me keep my mind from wandering
Talk to me, talk to me
When the morning breaks
When the morning breaks
When the morning breaks
It's such a cold, cold light
Cold as the comfort
When the morning breaks
(When the morning, when the morning breaks)
When the morning breaks
(When the morning, when the morning breaks)
When the morning breaks
(When the morning breaks)
It's such a cold, cold light
(When the morning breaks)
It's such a cold, cold light
(When the morning breaks)
It's such a cold, cold reminder
Ocean
Clearly there’s no faith in me
This one’s for recovery
Sleeping while you took control
Time to reclaim what you stole
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Winter time, now I’m in bloom
This black blossom meant for you
From this seed of misery
Falling for recovery
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Waves of words and waves of sounds
Flooding through your holy ground
From the sea of misery
Seeking out your company
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Sound like an ocean rolling to you
Sound like an ocean rolling to you

4th Floor
What lies behind the door tonight?
Don’t fool yourself you might be surprised
Time has taught you slow, keep expectations low
All your mistakes are kept for revenge
Will you be forced to live them again?
Time has taught you slow, but you should know by now
You should know by now
Walk away
The pleasure isn’t worth the pain
Walk Away
You said forever then, but things have changed
Walk Away
There’s no treasure hidden here to gain
What brings you to the 4th floor tonight?
Don’t fool yourself you might be surprised
Time has taught you slow, where conversations go
Bend till you break and take all the shame
Make all the moves and take all the blame
Time has taught you slow, but you should know by now
You should know by now
You should know by now
Walk away
The pleasure isn’t worth the pain
Walk away
You said forever then, but things have changed
Walk Away
There’s no treasure hidden here to gain
Here for the sake of the start
You never imagined a fall so far
Now everything's falling apart
Walk away
The pleasure isn’t worth the pain
Walk away
You said forever then, but things have changed
Walk away
There’s no treasure hidden here to gain
What lies behind the door tonight?
Don’t fool yourself you might be surprised
Time has taught you slow, keep expectations low
All your mistakes are kept for revenge
Will you be forced to live them again?
Time has taught you slow, but you should know by now
You should know by now
You should know by now
96 To 4
Sheltered from the pain
Protected in the everyday
Its bound to catch you soon
You’re in the last few moments of a kinder reality
96 to 4 they told us
Won’t make a fraction of a difference now
96 to 4 you’ll be the last to know
Its gone down to a stone cold zero
On the other side
And till you cross that line
These thoughts weigh heavy on my mind
I picture you smile & I’m sick to the stomach when I think of you
finding out
96 to 4 they told us
Won’t make a fraction of a difference now
96 to 4 you’ll be the last to know
Its gone down to a stone cold zero
Till you find out
Till you find out
I’ll carry this weight
Till you find out
I’ll carry your pain
96 to 4 they told us
Won’t make a fraction of a difference now
96 to 4 you’ll be the last to know
Its gone down to a stone cold zero
Let It Go
There’s nothing to say
I’ll give you no reaction
Nothing to try
And give you the satisfaction
Nothing to say
I’ll deafen you with silence
Why should I try
Could kill you with existence
So let it go
You’ll only hurt yourself
So let it go
You’ll only hurt yourself
Every false claim
Each twisted word will twist you
So say it again
Cause the truth remains within you
Every bad thought
Each bullet word reflected
Will come back to you
And poison you with hatred
So let it go
You’ll only hurt yourself
So let it go
You’ll only hurt yourself
Out of sight I occupy your mind
The less I say the more you show, the more I know
I occupy your time
Out of sight I occupy your mind
There’s nothing to say
I’ll deafen you with silence
Nothing to try
Could kill you with existence
Every bad thought
Each bullet word reflected
Will come back to you
Morning Train
Nothing exists
Just you and me and hollowness
Walking to the deadline
Nothing is fixed
We swallow words like razorblades
Closer to the deadline
And there’s so much I could say
But it's too late now we’re running out of time
Between the doorway and the morning train
To dark from the light
Only I could find a way
Only I could guide us
To darkness from the light
Only I could find a way
Only I could guide us
And there’s so much I should say
But it's no use now we’re running out of time
Between the doorway and the morning train
And there’s so much I’d like to say
But apologies don’t fit the time or place
Between the doorway and the morning train
Now I’m going, now I’m going down the line
Now I’m going, now I’m going down the line
Leaving pain again
And there’s so much I’d like to say
But it's too late now there isn’t time or space
Between the doorway and the morning train
And there’s so much I’d like to say
But we’re running out of time
And we’re running out of space
And this kiss leaves such a sour aftertaste
Between the platform and the morning train
