Dream On Cady

|
LYRICS
Cady's got a story or two of her own to tell
I sit and I listen and she reveals how she slives her personal hell
confused by those who may tie her down
she wanted a life lived out on flesh, not out on film
dream on Cady, or they'll tie you down
Fingers that smell like lubricant and take away food - Cady
You top up the bottle so she won't drive
you watch her face turn blue, you smile she's yours you've won
the paradox here is that you wont want her any more
she wanted your seed in her brain, not in her womb
Dream on Cady, and they'll tie you down
Scratch out her insides, suck out and steal her words
Changes them to suit your paranoia
Only you forgot to ask her name
Dream on Cady

LYRICS
You wonder round the town, like life gives out material for free, for bliss
She's given your her heart, so you can feel the bitter pain of loss
She steals away our youth
And she has hands that feel you up while your waiting
She waits to give out wisdom
so when you're dying, you'd be thinking how things could have been.
She's taking you away from me, its not our fault, but that doesnt change things at all
the smells still on my things, but she'll come and take that as well.
she steals away our youth
And she has hands that feel you us while we're waiting
She waits to give out wisdom
so when we're dying, we're be thinking how things could have been.

Families

LYRICS
It’s been a day watching families in the park
The women hide thier open wounds, with brochure smiles, and
The wind it makes a tear, in the young men’s eyes
They start to wonder, when it got to this.
Was it their last fight? Fight
You’ve put the knife in now, no need to take it out
We can pass our quiet nights, playing, turning it about
And the wound won’t ever heal,
Just like old habits always do
We’ll be left to deal with the damage
Of our last fight, Fight
[will we recover, will we recover maybe sometime]
[fight]

My Little Bunny

LYRICS
I really love you, my little bunny
We burrow down together
Are you some strange kind of new kind of angel thats here to show me
Maybe some things can last forever.
I wish that things could have gone differently
But it seems that you're stronger than I am
Everybody loves you, my little bunny
you've got friends around the world some day we'll go and take them back, you and I
But its your mamma, she's in a strange phase of social history
she still hates the Sundays in your room, when you've gone
I wish that I could have given you different things.
But it seems that you' re stronger than I am
And we're just just sheep in wolves clothing, you and I.
Just sheep in a wolves world, you and I. You.

LYRICS
I matched your glaze with mine, it takes the breath out of me
It's been a long time coming but you see me naked now.
I want to feel your burnt out skin on my cold white walls
As you hold on my neck and your hips trap me again,
the big round drops of sweat, the twisted spine and dusty old floor
as my head crashes the glass and I kick close the door to your heart and my dreams and my hopes
So is this some strange kind of world where we can be the same
You got so far inside of me, will the outside stay sane or will we be bored.
Last night you held me so tight i thought you understood
what a strange mind and body combination we have.
Dint waste time to call, call out "I want you now" and once you're under my hand you'll slip through the sheets of oblivion.
the big round drops of sweat, the twisted spine and dusty old floor
as my head crashes the glass and I kick close the door to my heart and your dreams, dreams...

LYRICS
You're a spineless piece of shit if you think you've got no control over your life.
You can't blame yourself for the ways the others suffer around you, it's their choice, like its yours.
It doesn't make it any easier, to know how she is. Do you know who you are?
You don't touch the things you hold and you needed fury just to stay awake.
once someone has dirtied their hands because they've crawled inside your mind doesn't mean you can take them away from the place they call themself.
It doesn't make it any easier, to know how she is. Do you know who you are?
Do you believe it when she says she knows who she is?
Do you believe it when she says she knows who you are?
It never made it it any easier, it doesn't make it any easier, to know how she is. Who are you? Do you know who you are?

How Did I

LYRICS
well i can't see you and i won't be in love, not anymore
and i won't give to you, i won't share myself, with anyone anymore
and i tried to do something, without knowing what it was
i got hurt without knowing why
and i failed without knowing how did i do this to myself? How did i?
Don't try to change it, the old girl ain't coming back, its too late
the way i live my life is costing me heaps but its right this way
and i tried to do something without knowing what it was.
i got hurt without knowing why
and i failed without knowing how did i do this to myself? How did i?
I know you think its a passing phase, but i'm glad that its not.
The past it stamps you, and it doesnt rub off.

My Last Gasp
03:09

LYRICS
Yeah i its true i'm the great technican of moral exceptions, pride and honesty. Bigger than you, smaller than myself, strange magic, but i fooled you anyway.
This is my last gasp in a mind where like a city its so distorted we don't remember how we start
Don't stop masturbating memories, they swell and get damp
you'll tire of me just like everything else, why must preserve and create be so far apart?
This is my last gasp and its all that remains. It could be good if you want stability and trust but for me thats never been enough.
It would be easier if I made a deal.
It's just the imagination that slips away.
Like stolen moments and losing ourselves,
I'll be talking long after you've gone
Despite this so called wisdom i deceive myself in a chain.
why can't catching up with a good thing satisfy me?
Why does it always have to come down to the last gasp. The last gasp was all i have left.

LYRICS
Shake my hand you've broken that pattern that was destroying you
now the wold has become new, available, conquerable and yours
learn from this now, and recognise the predators who tell you creative is crazy; tears are confusion, whimsical is haze. Do your grieving and get out fast away from the cage of stars.
Go underground to come up stronger, face it with your new power
Look at what you've survived instead of what you've left behind
think for you now, and your child, even though you're not the centre of the world.
Leave behind your guilt, regrets and whys cause now its dreams, hows and ways
away from the cage of stars.
Don't be so naive any more, don't let anyone control you, use you, eat you or just plain 'down' you. Use this Hell this learn and run away from the cage of stars.
