Masochist

Slap myself on the wrist I’ll do better
Won’t burn out though it burns like hell
Sleep myself out of this coma
Loathe to leave the fight I know so well
I know you know I’m nothing
Don’t wanna know I’m zero without this
Drown myself out of this ocean
On fire for your lie but the truth is
I want you, I want you, I want you dead I want you x2
(I don’t want to want you anymore)
Dancing through a burning city
Kissing as the tongues of flame destroy everything
The thing about being a masochist
I love it when it hurts like this
Love is our last religion
Almost loved the life into us again
Break out of being broken
It’s too easy for you to break me in
I want you, I want you, I want you dead I want you x2
(I don’t want to want you anymore)
Dancing through a burning city
Kissing as the tongues of flame destroy everything
The thing about being a masochist
I love it when it hurts like this
Know I want you don’t you want to
Know I want you don’t you want to
Know I want you don’t you want to
Know I want you don’t you want to
Dancing through a burning city
Kissing as the tongues of flame destroy everything
The thing about being a masochist
I love it when it hurts like this
Living lifes meaning we’re trying to outlive
Found faith in a feeling that has nothing to give
The thing about being a masochist

Drive

I could be the one driver,
But I couldn’t give you your drive
I could be the one to drag this along
But not if it already died
I’ve never wanted anything more
No I don’t mind losing my mind
Cause that’s what it was put there for
But darling I would rather die
Than say what’s the point anymore
Did I waste my last chance on someone half out the door
Pedal to the metal, foot to the floor
Just to prove that it was you who always held me back before
Brakes out the window, doomed in my drive
Oh I might have been a friend to you but you’re no friend of mine
No I’m not the kind of soul, to say I told you so
You blew it so blow over cause I won’t let go
I’m not holding on, just to prove you wrong
I’m smiling as I’m driving to the great wide open
(And it’s a beautiful drive)
You wasted me, I wasted time
I was the bend before the break
Oh you may well be stronger than me
But it’s me that learned to take the weight
Has the point of my life become my biggest mistake
Pedal to the metal, foot to the floor
Just to prove that it was you who always held me back before
Brakes out the window, doomed in my drive
Oh I might have been a friend to you but you’re no friend of mine
No I’m not the kind of soul, to say I told you so
You blew it so blow over cause I won’t let go
I’m not holding on, just to prove you wrong
I’m smiling as I’m driving to the great wide open
(And it’s a beautiful drive)
I threw all of me into this cannon
To be left with nothing to aim at but the rubble
And I threw all of me into this fire
To be left with nothing but ashes for my troubles
I know you watched me break down and cry, as you drove away
Pedal to the metal, foot to the floor
Just to prove that it was you who always held me back before
Brakes out the window, doomed in my drive
Oh I might have been a friend to you but you’re no friend of mine
No I’m not the kind of soul, to say I told you so
You blew it so blow over cause I won’t let go
I’m not holding on, just to prove you wrong
I’m smiling as I’m driving to the great wide open
(And it’s a beautiful drive)

I throw my pain,
Into this it won't go any other way
I'll see you again,
But after this it won't ever be the same
I wanna stay, and save you, I love you
But this is not my home
I'm nowhere, but now I'm here
I don't want to go
This time I don't have anyone else to blame
One more time can't hurt, to fall in love on my own again
Oh my love
You'll grow without me
But will I be alright without you
I know you'll be happy
I saved us the bravery of seeing this through
I wanna stay, and know you, I need you
But this is not my home
I'm nowhere, but now I'm here
I don't want to go
And I've had so much practice at saying goodbye
To the things that I've needed, to the loves in my life
How can it hurt so much after all this time
I should be better at saying goodbye
Dont cry, dont cry
I promised myself I wouldn't
But this time
It seems that we've run out of time
This time I don't have anyone else to blame
One more time can't hurt, to fall in love on my own again
This time I don't have anywhere left to go,
Time after time, I...
I miss you, more than you know.
Oh my love,
I don't want to go.

Skin

Aren't you lucky that I have such thick skin?
So when you crawl under and let yourself right in
If you curl up there, make it your space
Pull me around you like a duvet
Oh, I promise, I promise, I will keep you safe
Can't break me I've got no promise
Can't make me I'm not your lie
This armour pressed
So hard into my chest
It's been in my skin all this time
I fall slow but I fall deep
Right past love into hate
This mask cuts so deep
Into my cheeks
It could well be my face
So aren't you lucky, that I have such thick skin?
Well there you go
This just goes to show
Under out own skin is where we're made to exist
And I can be fine without this
When you go, I know
That I can be something without you
Oh we reach with our hands, we speak with our fists
But the words won't come out
This smile cemented thick
Over my lips
Almost looks like my real mouth
I built myself up to deserve love
Now I'm not sure where I begin
And the act ends
I'm buried so deep
I've become a pile of things
So aren't you lucky, that I have such thick skin?
Well there you go
This just goes to show
Under out own skin is where we're made to exist
And I can be fine without this
When you go, I know
That I can be something
There's so much under my skin
But not what you need
I can tell your hearts broken
From the way you break me
When we mistreat love like this
We deserve to fall
Our lives are nothing without this
So just take it all
My god I'm crazy,
and you're lucky I stay on this side of my skin
Well there you go
This just goes to show
Under out own skin is where we're made to exist
And I can be fine without this
When you go,
When you go,
Darling I can be something without you
