Lyrics

i hear what’s happening     when i’m home alone     i don’t talk too much     the city moves around     running around in circles     spinning away from me. it’s time for new visions     new plans populate my mind     i live by the windows     no one by my side     all alone all evening     alone when it starts. my life in buildings     everything is clear     revealing itself now     new shades and new lights     same hues of night     it’s my life in buildings     all mine. the cold chill of winter     laid out in shades of green     my old reinforced thoughts     have just become concrete     nothing is worth believing     when nothing is worth my trust. my life in buildings     everything is clear     revealing itself now     new shades and new lights     same hues of night     it’s my life in buildings     all mine.

Lyrics

Payday is getting close     mr. collect stop chasing me     payday is getting closer     oh, mister, please, stop chasing me     you can take all of my money     if you leave me something to eat. when i was a kid     and thought of the man i’d be     my heart grew bigger and so did my grin     now my life is spent in shame and misery     look now, won’t you let me be?     you can take my house and money     if you promise that i’ll be free. i’m slaving all my life away     and you’re never pleased     you take my dignity away and i’m at your feet     look now mr. debt collector     you are going to kill me     won’t you have a little mercy on me?     you can have everything you want     if you stop playing with me. i called my friends     from all over town     they say i won’t have peace     until you are around     won’t you? won’t you release me?     payday is getting closer and you’ll have the blood you need. payday’s getting closer     mr. collector stop chasing me     payday is getting closer      mister, please, just let me be!     if my life ain’t worth enough     then my soul might satisfy thee.

Lyrics

she looks at me     and i feel unexpectedly relieved     of my unbearable memories     she talks with me     and she seems unaware     of how well she makes me feel. if she could guess     how much time i think of her     every day     would she be upset     or flattered instead? she doesn’t know     i’m taken aback by the very essence     of the elements that constitute her being     she believes     that my words are just the unconscious     reflection of what is nice in me. if she could guess     how much time i think of her     every day     would she be upset     or flattered instead? and i hardly know what to say     when you look at me in the eyes     and you know i meet every day     i would simply like to walk away     try and forget     the obnoxious complexities of the love we share.

Lyrics

if i still had a heart i would tear it apart     with no hesitation, i would never look back     all of this i would do and much much more     for the gracious beauty of my drug of choice. it’s not just lust, it is so much more     i feel it in the marrow of my bones     some would call it madness, i call it love     giving me a thrill unknown before. my chains are unbreakable and she leaves them alone     there is no salvation as soon as she’s gone     i’ve learnt to survive with a hole in my soul     for the childish delight of my drug of choice. she’s not my type so she runs away     i used to be furious but now i’ve grown cold     i do see straight, i try to live once more     with all my charms being skinned down to the bones. i wake up in the morning and i start to mourn     i try to keep my head straight when i leave home     but my chest still aches and my brain’s still sore     for the tender thrill of my sweet     drug of choice.
