Love isn't Love
02:41
|

You gently squeeze her hand
and don’t understand
why love isn’t love
Your love isn’t love
She wipes away your tears
and hugs away your fears
but love isn’t love,
your love isn’t love
Your parents don’t approve
and everything you lose
but love isn’t love
your love isn’t love
You bought a wedding ring
but being gay’s a sin
your love isn’t love
your love still isn’t love
(musical interlude)
Your love still isn’t love

My, My

oooh
I can not breathe, when you’re watching over me
it’s hard to see where I made my own mistakes and which were yours
Walk into the light you might find peace
Please
and I must be a winner in your eyes
my, my
you need to sort out your priorities and breathe slow
slow enough to die
My, my
We walked so far along this long and empty road
still hard to know if what we did was wrong
but I am sure that I regret it more than you
are you still proud?
are you still proud?
The flowers grow, but the petals fall off then they die
I know you know that’s it’s easier to die than stay alive
No, no please don’t cry about the words that came out wrong
My, my
We walked so far along this long and empty road
still hard to know if what we did was wrong
but I am sure that I regret it more than you
are you still proud?
are you still proud?
I can not breathe, when you’re watching over me
it’s hard to see where I made my own mistakes and which were yours
Walk into the light you might find peace
Please

Child
04:19

He sits all alone in his bedroom at night
wondering what he’s going to make of his life
and it’s like a great big ball of fire in his head
in the back of his mind, he knows he is dead
to the world
To the world
To the world
To the world
He runs and he runs but there’s nothing but blackness
and never once does it cross his mind to go back
to the home that is hell and the hell that is home
to the home that is hell and the hell that is home
Little child, where you going?
this horrible world’s going to be too much for you
Why do you hang your head in shame?
Through the pain, there was nothing more you could do
Nothing more that you could do
You could do
You could do
They laugh, and they laugh, and they laugh at you
as you think of all the things that you could do
Although violence isn’t in your bones,
your anger
it grows and it grows
Little child, where you going?
this horrible world’s going to be too much for you
You need to wash the bloodstains off your hands
I understand there was nothing else you could do
nothing else that you could do etc etc

Dust

You broke my barriers down
I still can’t cry despite your ugly frown
I feel I may have drowned
From all the times you’ve fucked me about
‘Cause if you loved me,
why’d you break me open and rip out my heart?
You can’t have loved me, if you stamped on my new start
A white blank page
Is what I use to get out all my rage
No blood, no stains
No ever lasting pain
If you loved me why’d you break me open and leave me filled with dust
If you loved me whyd you let me fall down and steal away my trust
You left me to die
and never bothered asking me why
why I’m in constant pain
because you know that you’re the one to blame

Skin and Bones
02:45
|

Your pale white hair flows gently round your face
there is no item you haven’t misplaced
Your wrinkled skin is peaceful now,
the spark in your eyes has gone out
and now you’re only skin and bones
Your glasses have been left beside your bed
I still can’t accept the fact that you’re dead
My memories of you are here
I wipe away a single tear
‘cause now you’re only skin and bones
It smells of you, it’s like you’re still around
not like you’re rotting deep under the ground
I must accept my fate or else I’ll never learn to love myself
We’re all becoming skin and bones
My memory is fading now, my time’s rapidly running out
and soon I will become skin and bones
