I’ve heard of someone who makes their own rules
Regarding friends as disposable tools
Putting on a smile that you sell cheap
Your hoodwinks and gambits go every which way
Keep betting on bluffs until dividends pay
Moving through a cycle of deceit
This ruse will keep on tricking all these people that you call sheep
And every time I look in your eyes,
I see a different disguise
I know that your smile has something to hide.
Your tricks and games, They don’t fool me you might fool them
Hide behind those lips and eyes.
Are you afraid of everyone finding out
All the shit that comes out of your mouth
Revealing the two sides that form your face
It’s time to grab a cup of all your lies and have a taste
And every time I look in your eyes, I see a different disguise
I know that your smile has something to hide.
Your tricks and games, They don’t fool me you might fool them
Hide behind those lips and eyes.
I’ve got it now, you chew up men and spit em out
Hide behind those lips and eyes
Your lips and, your lips and, your lips and eyes, you hide behind
Your tricks and games, They don’t fool me you might fool them
Hide behind those lips and eyes.
I’ve got it now, you chew up men and spit em out
Hide behind those lips and eyes
Ending
Your lips and, your lips and, your lips and eyes, you hide behind

I used to drink wine from the cask
so cheap and depressing
and now I buy it by the bottle
and I drink it from a glass
You’re like the wine that’s on my lips
Crisp and refreshing
And now I’m starting to feel light headed
I just hope this feeling lasts
You said you’d call me when you’re sober
but please don’t tell me when it’s over
I’ve been saving up this bottle
I waited a long time
Pour a glass for me and you
we’ll finish off this wine
I’m not a connoisseur
but you’re the best that I’ve had yet
and I’ve been to a few tastings
but I’ve never felt like this
You’re like the wine that’s on my lips
so crisp and refreshing
And now I’m starting to feel light headed
I just hope this feeling lasts
You said you’d call me when you’re sober
but please don’t tell me when it’s over
I’ve been saving up this bottle
I waited a long time
Pour a glass for me and you
we’ll finish off this wine
The cask gets passed around,
I’m living in the past
Now I’ll stick to vintage wine from the top shelf of the bar
just like you are.

No One In Particular

He kissed my lips and said a prayer
He held my hand and said "We're almost there."
He took a weight off my chest
He cleared a path when all I was was a mess
And even now I see his face
And even now I think of what we had to waste
Darling, oh, I'll find you
I'll hold you one more time
I'll drive across this country, I'll fly into the skies
Silver chains or heavy rains couldn't stop me in my path
Just lie with me and look up at the stars
He kissed my lips and said goodbye
He said "I'm fucked, kid and I gotta fly"
He left me waiting on my porch
To waste my time with shameless selfish pretty whores
And even now I see his face
And even now I think of what we had to waste
Darling, oh, I'll find you
I'll hold you one more time
I'll drive across this country, I'll fly into the skies
Silver chains or heavy rains couldn't stop me in my path
Just lie with me and look up at the stars
Fuckin' mum and shitty car
Your little stories never got you very far
I kept your picture on my wall
Some crackheads broke in weeks ago it was the only thing they stole.
Darling, oh, I'll find you
I'll hold you one more time
I'll drive across this country, I'll fly into the skies
Silver chains or heavy rains couldn't stop me in my path
Just lie with me and look up at the stars
Silver chains or heavy rains couldn't stop me in my path
Just lie with me and look up at the stars

Blank canvas steals my gaze
Life to me is running through mystery, a maze
Throughout the years I paint some parts I truly love
Other times I paint, some things I choose to smudge
I know what is mine
I paint a picture with a brush that shows my life
The night is here but I’m lying in my bed too scared to sleep
Instead we’ll spend this night apart
The sun will rise above the hills and set upon my weary feet
I’ll paint my life a work of art
My life a work of art.
The colours that I see, red will mark some tragedy
Blue is feeling like I have to run.
This canvas fills with paint
some is love and some is hate
I’ve seen your too it’s hanging from your tongue
I know what is mine
I paint a picture with a brush that shows my life
The night is here but I’m lying in my bed too scared to sleep
Instead we’ll spend this night apart
The sun will rise above the hills and set upon my weary feet
I’ll paint my life a work of art
My life a work of art.
I remember when this canvas was clean
Now it’s so complicated but it’s me
At first it seems but look close I’ve worked to hard
this painting is my life my story, my heart.
My life a work of art!
The night is here but I’m lying in my bed too scared to sleep
Instead we’ll spend this night apart
The sun will rise above the hills and set upon my weary feet
I’ll paint my life a work of art
My life a work of art.

Your silence rings inside my ears
Funny how an instant can erase what took us years
No violence, but it hit me hard
you ignored the beating of my tell-tale broken heart
If you’ve got nothing nice to say, just say anything at all.
Sticks, stones, broke bones and names don’t hurt like your silent gall
I made the bed where I now lie, won’t you come and lie with me
I’ll just wait and hold my breath, please come back so I can breathe
You made me feel untouchable, but now the word has new meaning
since you told me you were through, since you told me you were leaving
Only not so many words, not so eloquently
Did you ever have your way with them like you had your way with me
If you’ve got nothing nice to say, just say anything at all.
Sticks, stones, broke bones and names don’t hurt like your silent gall
I made the bed where I now lie, won’t you come and lie with me
I’ll just wait and hold my breath, please come back so I can breathe
Red message rung our phones just to make my fondness grow
Passive aggression stuck on you (yeah)
Stick stones and broken bones don’t hurt like your name now I’m alone
But there’s nothing I can do except wait on you
If you’ve got nothing nice to say, just say anything at all.
Sticks, stones, broke bones and names don’t hurt like your silent gall
I made the bed where I now lie, won’t you come and lie with me
I’ll just wait and hold my breath, please come back so I can breathe
never hear your laugh never hear your name,
well maybe not never just never the same.
Well maybe not never!
If you’ve got nothing nice to say, just say anything at all.
If you’ve got nothing nice to say just say anything!

I'm a wildcard, loaded gun.
Can't be tamed by anyone.
Don't blame me if you're too close.
Your shattered glass was coloured rose.
It's all cool. Fairs fair.
I need to get some, make some noise but you're not there.
You think that you know me better.
But I'm not what I appear.
Tripped right past reality.
Fell for an idea.
You think that you know me better.
You think that you know me better.
You think that you know me but you don't and you can't control me.
I'm a felon on the run.
Looking out for number one.
You better run when I take aim.
So you don't play my little game.
It's all cool. Fairs fair.

(But you're not there.)
I'm not someone you can tame, don't sweat the things that you can't change.
Best watch out when I take aim, don't sweat the things that you can't change.
You're the one who's acting strange, don't sweat the things that you can't change.
Only got yourself to blame 'cause I'm not someone you can change.
