it’s a good thing, me being here
wading, finding on my own
‘cause you can make yourself anew anywhere
then you find you’re the one you can’t let go
and I don’t wanna be that girl
go where you think I should
see the things you’ve seen,
live within your dream
baby I’d have left if it weren’t so good
like liberty’s beacon in the distance
it could be a false omen after all
promises of future kings
a space to try again
finding yourself in her call
‘cause I don’t wanna change like them
try to be tough like them
try to pretend I’ve seen it all
and I’ll see it all again
‘cause it’s hot as hell and smells like shit in here
I just turn off and wait to arrive (let the rush pass me by)
and it will take the magic from it
till you see another soul dancing through hollowed eyes
come over here, plenty of action
you’ll shine like gold when you’re new
the game that you love, your tried and true
starting to move too fast for you
and every time I’ve held another
I see you
like liberty’s beacon in the distance
it could be a false omen after all
I think that I’ll let it be
until I can’t refute it
and that’s just the way it’s gonna be for now
a city takes me by storm, I want everyone and all their warmth

Green Grey (Live)

GREEN GREY
it's silly to say, maybe you make everyone feel this way
i'm telling my heart, this ain't no place for love to start
ever since I met you colour’s been creeping in
flirting in shadow, painting light on an old sin
every line you draw I bend
every glance you give I linger in
grey shades, waiting on your beckoning
ooh ever since I met you
I've been holding out to brush against you
but you got someone at home
it's silly to say, maybe you make everyone feel this way
i'm telling my heart, this ain't no place for love to start
it's silly to say, maybe you make everyone feel this way
if loving you is wrong, then how come you keep hanging on?
ever since I met you at sunrise
all the colours clashing wildly with your green grey eyes
you told me timing is never right
as the golden sun kissed the horizon
blushing rose between shows and curtain
ooh ever since I met you
I've been holding out to brush against you
but you got someone at home
it's silly to say, maybe you make everyone feel this way
i'm telling my heart, this ain't no place for love to start
it's silly to say, maybe you make everyone feel this way
if loving you is wrong, then how come you keep hanging on?
cause when i'm alone
I think of your eyes, and how they shine into mine
I've got to tear my gaze away, lest you see me falling for those green greys
I’ve got to tear my gaze away
Lest you see me falling for those green greys
Oh you’re the one I know
Yeah you're the one I'm falling for those green greys

TRIGGER
you gonna fight all your life
without a foe in sight
yeah you’re a trigger
just waiting for any hand to pull tight
no weapons in sight
but you bring ‘em out and it’s only
you who’s bleeding through the night
honey you ain’t got no right
I hope someday real soon
You’ll see there’s nothing you need to prove
think you been given lemons all your life
and so you squeeze the sour and burn it into their eyes
but you don’t know that
good fruit like yours is hard to come by
I hope you wake up real soon
‘cause you got a way to turn a whole lot of love into a bruise
I hope you wake up real soon
‘cause I can’t bear to hear you being so cruel
I hope you wake up real soon
‘cause you got a way to turn a whole lot of love into a bruise
I hope you wake up real soon
‘cause then one day you’ll see who’s really fightin’ you

JUST ONE VOICE
just one voice is all I need
and I know, we’re gonna be alright
just lock your eyes with mine
and I know everything’s gonna be just fine
so smile and reach your hand to me
I know that you mean well
don’t tell me it’ll be OK
I know that you mean well
just one voice is all I need
something full, some open sound
i’m reaching out to every hope I’ve seen
every shade of silver lining
so tell me am I crazy now
is this the way it’s gonna be?
have you got a shelf made now
for people like me?
touch – hold – thrill – high
without a root
and a bloom to seed
yeah you give ‘em cheap
your sweet words too sweet
so tell me am I crazy now?
is this the way it’s gonna be?
have you got a shelf made now
for people like me?
touch – hold – thrill – high

HOW COME
how come you don’t call me anymore?
how come, how come, how come?
how come you don’t call me anymore?
how come, how come, how come?
have I changed somehow?
what’s the use in me asking?
no one ever sees this coming
have you already found
someone new to whet your appetite?
I hope they’re strong and nice for ya
how come you don’t call me anymore?
how come, how come?
have I become a bore to you?
do I not say the things
you wish I’d do (do I say what you want?)
now that we are turning up in circles?
oh your circles leave me numb
but it’s up to you
pick and choose,
see me fading from view
(you can choose what you want)
from your picture perfect frame of you
and the who’s who
you and me,
we both feed off of change
recreating something known
I don’t wanna fade into the wall
like pictures you used to love
have I changed somehow?
what’s the use in me asking?
no one ever sees this coming
have you already found
someone new to whet your appetite?
I hope they’re strong and nice for ya
how come you don’t call me anymore?
how come, how come?
don’t need to fake no more
i'm not going to try anymore
i'm not gonna sit and pick it all apart
i'm not gonna blame you now
you gotta find your own way out
so baby go run, go find
whatever it is you've been needing
‘cause this is it
(baby go and run now)
this is it
(go and have your fun now)
this is it
(baby go and run)
Go on and make your own sun now don't burn out
