The Mess I'm In

Your love cut to the bone
Been kissed by the devils lips
Like a film by Oliver Stone
Those words spit from the dark
I'm hanging on as I feel there's a spark
My god say what you mean
Oooooh It's tragic
And all these ghosts are the mess I'm in
All your hate is mesmerising
And I just can't stand the mess I'm in
I resonate when you strike up a tone
Love falls on a deaf heart
There's nothing, nothing at all
Low down, under cover
You can't fix yourself by breaking another
My god say what you feel
Oooooh It's tragic
And all these ghosts are the mess I'm in
All your hate is mesmerising
And I just can't stand the mess I'm in

Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh
I know you want it. I know you've seen I there
Need to believe it. I just don't care
So now we've got it. Why not abuse it
You're all going down. I'm all safe and sound
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh won't be around
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh at the end
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh won't be around
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh at the end
I got friends in higher places
I've got the means to take us all down
If I sound proud. If I sound elated
I'm full of promises I will not deliver
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh won't be around
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh at the end
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh won't be around
Ooooh ooh ooh oooooh oh at the end

We keep stopping and starting
Catching a break and then failing
Who are you with today?
How do I know when you live so far away
Are we doomed?
Would not have thought it from the outset
But we've consumed more than 2 sides of this story
I don't want to be alone but I am with you
You keep chopping and changing
Moving around and re-framing
Who will you be today?
I feel like I'm fading away
Are we doomed?
Would not have thought it from the outset
But we've consumed more than 2 sides of this story
I don't want to be alone but I am with you
So then friend
Is this the end?
Through the doors
So then friend
Is this the end?
Through the doors
Are we doomed?
Would not have thought it from the outset
But we've consumed more than 2 sides of this story
I don't want to be alone but I am with you

Do you spend your days wishing that you were someone else but yourself?
It can't be easy when your own mirror disagrees with you
I know Judy, she moved onto your street two doors down
She said that your voice tells a different story
And we are all here waiting
One time you're He
The next time you're She
You're going back and forth again
I don't think it's fair to say we don't care
You need to make up your mind
You're busy changing, you're re-arranging parts that were not there before
Do you spend your days hoping
That you could one day become someone else
There's something radiant about you today
The words spill from you
This operation could make the changes
But It's all forever
One time you're He
The next time you're She
You're going back and forth again
I don't think it's fair to say we don't care
You need to make up your mind
You're busy changing, you're re-arranging parts that were not there before

All my dreams have a cameo from you
It was long ago but you're not done with me it seems
I've never been particularly good at letting go
You don't make it easy feeling forever thirteen
This old house
Made from all the usual stuff
All these rooms built with all the regular things
Why won't you leave me
How do you see me
I want you to know I can't come back to you anymore
Could this be the field where I died
It's been here through all the structures built through time
Every other battle, in the turrets we stood our ground
I'm not a hostage to nostalgia but I tell ya I can't be free
This old house
Made from all the usual stuff
All these rooms built with all the regular things
Why won't you leave me
How do you see me
I want you to know I can't come back to you anymore

Like the magic of a Polaroid it's true
Kodachrome, Red, Green and Blue
Reveals itself immediately
A chemical reaction in a fraction of the time it took to say good bye.
Tick Tock father time
Moves us along the line
All things they change
Apart from my dancing heart it pushed real hard right from the start
I can't see you everyday
When you live so far away
You'll teach me and I'll teach you
You got me seeing through eyes all brand new
Tick Tock father time
Moves us along the line
All things they change
Apart from my dancing heart it pushed real hard right from the start

I'm a seed
I'm in need contact
I know a language or two
I'm a drone
I'm an empire rising
I'm a martyr for the mass
I am dust
I am tree sap forming
I am eclipsed most of the time
Time, time
We all end
Just as we started off
You're just a part of me
And all smiles they belong to me
I'm alone
I'm the big hand static
I'm an hour glass on it's side
I am proud
I am striped of decision
I am oblivious to you
I am blind
I wear calm like armour
I am all out of luck
Time, time
We all end
Just as we started off
You're just a part of me
And all smiles they belong to me

Of all the nights I remember
That appertain to me and you
You came to me like you meant it
You said "Until the end."
You got me dripping with these feelings
They are leaking in the gutter
This tangible, palpable crisis
It just keeps getting bigger
No erasing all that came before
That's why in my head you're...
Already gone
Already gone
I've been left at the alter
I've been messed around
More times than I care to mention
So my doubts growing loud
You can tell me the words
The phrases I want to hear
They run off me like water
Even though I know you're sincere
No erasing all that came before
That's why in my head you're...
Already gone
Already gone

Who's making all these lists
Please can you tell them to give me a miss
One by one you've got marching orders
I'm feeling low, betrayed and nauseous
You will never get away with this
I'm loosing my identity
It's gone, gone, gone...
I wear the crown of a man beaten down
All my hats will mask the fact that I need you around
It's cruel, there's no stopping my D.N.A
I seem to be loosing more each day
One by one there are no second chances
Are you leaving today? can you hold your horses
Rest assured I will owe you one
I'm loosing my identity
It's gone, gone, gone...
I wear the crown of a man beaten down
All my hats will mask the fact that I need you around
