upper persuasion for a lower invasion
Face The fact
Verse: What a lovely mess I've made of this
now I can't go back to fix the cracks I've made in it
time will remember but you'll do your best to forget it
Pre-Chorus: forget my time
forget my lines
forget my place
forget any trace
just don't you forget my face
Chorus: Never thought that it would end this way
but I gotta face the fact that you won't change
meet me any day or meet me any time
hell, try to face the fact that you were mine
Verse: Still can't believe I'm livin' this way
with these empty seats and black out dreams
makin' sense each day
change your hair or fix your stare
but you're just the same
Pre-Chorus: make it feel
like it ain't real
try your best but i must confess
to killing just what is left
Chorus
Bridge: hold on to an image
of something not quite right
but you gotta understand
just why I try
Pre-Chorus: make it feel
like it ain't real
try your best but i must confess
to killing just what is left

fakin' love
The distant hum of loud machines
Transcends new birth of clouded dreams
In your haze, imperfect gaze, you left me standing empty
I am the shadow on the floor
I should just beckon
But I know, there lies nothing
‘Cept the agony of burden, Oh
Never want to hurt you
With my eyes there’s no need to
Twisted thought somehow we’re faking love
Out of the gracious specks of time
gears of youth begin to wind
Takes it‘s toll, on us both, too bad it’s an illusion
Greater to feed on strength
Breaking the will it makes
Cannot bend, nor make amends, a chosen path can wander
I am the shadow on the floor
I should just beckon
But I know, there lies nothing
‘Cept the agony of burden, Oh
Never want to hurt you
With my eyes there’s no need to
Twisted thought somehow we’re faking love
Transcends new birth of clouded dreams
In your haze, imperfect gaze, you left me standing empty
I am the shadow on the floor
I should just beckon
But I know, there lies nothing
‘Cept the agony of burden, Oh
Never want to hurt you
With my eyes there’s no need to
Twisted thought somehow we’re faking love
Out of the gracious specks of time
gears of youth begin to wind
Takes it‘s toll, on us both, too bad it’s an illusion
Greater to feed on strength
Breaking the will it makes
Cannot bend, nor make amends, a chosen path can wander
I am the shadow on the floor
I should just beckon
But I know, there lies nothing
‘Cept the agony of burden, Oh
Never want to hurt you
With my eyes there’s no need to
Twisted thought somehow we’re faking love
help me understand
Are we here again?
Seems so long ago
Walls of white noise
Seem to make the hour glow
Can’t you see it?
Written on my face
A sense of strangeness in this same old place
With no direction
To neither here nor there
With no direction
Almost without a care
PC: Take a second breath
Take a step behind
Go inside my head and try to find what’s mine
Chorus: Help me understand just where I’m goin’ wrong
Let me in, let me know
Why this face is long
Help me understand just what I’m supposed to do
Help me understand why I do these things for you
Help me understand, Help me understand
How you feelin’ there?
Still feelin’ low?
Any time to think?
I think I’ll let you know
What’s the question
That you wanna hear?
What’s the question that really makes you fear?
Don’t wanna reason
with my self doubt
All I want
is the short way out
PC:
CHO:
Bridge: A Punch to the stomach
And a kick to the stones
I’d rather have these than nothing at all
It’s as crazy as a crime I’m servin’ full sentence
Better bein’ locked up than having no reverence
Cho:
I am overwhelmed
Dam’s about to break
Bring it on to see
How much more I can take
I know the answer
It’s easier to see
Just drop the old act
And fake the best of me
Condemn my actions
Before I drown
In self guilt
Let me win this bout
There’s no denying
That I wanna shout
Chorus

poor little rich girl
V:Hey, whatcha got goin' on?
Soles look tired and your eyes seem lost
I can't tell what is wrong
What was the night like for you?
some of the same
just a fool without pain
well honey, got news for you
CHO:Poor little rich girl never growin' up
I never cared to know why
Poor little rich girl pick yourself up
at least once before you die
V:You're so bent outta shape over nothin'
car you're drivin', the guy you're fuckin'
in the end it don't mean nothin'
Hey, grab a sense of the world
change your tune and forget your blues
before I get to be a bore
Chorus
Bridge: All you ever wanted
was someone to take good care of you
but don't hold your breath honey
as long as this life continues
Chorus X 2

say anything
V1:
Shattered cracks run along my eyes
Doing no good for my disguise
weight of my soul
Weighin' down the world
But you don't care
You don't care to know
Mascara tears line the night
Life in darkness is your only light
'Cos In a heart beat I'd be right there
Waiting for you
Waiting for you to say…
CH: anything, anything
You want me to do
Say anything, anything
You need from me too
Oh anything, Say anything,
But I love you
V2: knew you were trouble
Walkin through my door
Stirred a thousand desires maybe more
but I couldn’t fight your lure
Keeping on shootin’ for that moon
Cast out a line
Hope that someday soon
reel in your heart and I'll be your saint
open your mouth,
I wanna hear you say...
CH
Bridge: And I'll be your shoulder
For when times are tough
Just let me know
When you've fucking had enough
Solo
CH
Last Chorus:
Anything, ANything, you want me to
Anything, anything, you want me to
Anything, Anything, you want me to.
Shattered cracks run along my eyes
Doing no good for my disguise
weight of my soul
Weighin' down the world
But you don't care
You don't care to know
Mascara tears line the night
Life in darkness is your only light
'Cos In a heart beat I'd be right there
Waiting for you
Waiting for you to say…
CH: anything, anything
You want me to do
Say anything, anything
You need from me too
Oh anything, Say anything,
But I love you
V2: knew you were trouble
Walkin through my door
Stirred a thousand desires maybe more
but I couldn’t fight your lure
Keeping on shootin’ for that moon
Cast out a line
Hope that someday soon
reel in your heart and I'll be your saint
open your mouth,
I wanna hear you say...

Last Chorus:

Anything, anything, you want me to
Anything, Anything, you want me to.
