I've been clutching at straws for days,
Are you okay, well I'm okay.
I've been chasing your heart for weeks,
Are you okay, well I'm okay.
I'm a black hole and I'll pull you close
I've been pulling you down for months,
Are you okay, well I'm okay
I've been breaking you down for years,
Are you okay, well I'm okay.
I'm a black hole and I'll pull you close
Hold me down,
It's all over now.
Pull me out,
It's all over now.
Hold me down,
It's al over now.
Pull me out,
It's all over.

You were a name bestowed by God's good grace
And your face was the resurrection and the life.
I would hold you if I knew you wouldn't fade away.
Who are you now?
Another person to worry about?
If there's a god above, I'll pray for you,
Even though I don't believe in him
Because you're more deserving of mercy than
Anybody else, I include myself in that.
I'm condemned,
By 12 good men and my patron saint
And I don't believe
In angels or demons or anything in between
But I would hold you if I knew you wouldn't fade away
Who are you now?
Another person to worry about?
If there's a god above, I'll pray for you,
Even though I don't believe in him
Because you're more deserving of mercy than
Anybody else, I include myself in that.
Believe me if I could I would have faith.
Build towers to the sky and claim my sainthood.
Fall upon my sword and wash away my sins.
But as I am I'm horribly ingenuine.

Derailment

I've been on the mend,
For such a short time,
I'd hardly call it,
Derailment
Help me find a place inside your mind.
I've been drinking too much
And falling in love.
I've been fooling a lot of people.
Break it off where it began
Fall in love and start again
On the bed
There are echoes in this room of sharp words I spoke to you
And there's stains on the carpet from your tear drops.
Help me find a place inside your mind.

Automatic

Automatic, so dramatic,
Run my tongue until you hurt.
Burning holes in your cheek as you bite it with your teeth
And repress every hateful thought you ever had.
So we fight, go for the throat again.
Throw your worst at me, I've got a thick skin
You're under it.
Clawing at me, finding every nerve you could hope to hit
Taking pleasure in every twitch,
You're automatic.
Problematic, I'm so emphatic.
I'll throw whatever I have at you.
Bite my tongue and it bleeds,
And I cough it all over you.
So we fight, go for the throat again.
Throw your worst at me, I've got a thick skin
You're under it.
Clawing at me, finding every nerve you could hope to hit
Taking pleasure in every twitch,
You're automatic.

Fireflies

Light me up when the storm comes in, I'll be a shoreline beacon to guide you in.
I'll be the fireflies by the cave exit, the golden thread out of the darkness.
I'll light up brighter than you've ever known to purge you of your dark and sin,
But I will not stop you questioning all of your ulterior motives.
I've been lying away, musing over your every mistake
And how to guide you out of the bed you made.
The sweetened lies taste bitter with defeat,
You fell for saccharine, what did you expect?
If there's a place in time then you can trace it all back.
If not then, how'd you get to that?
I've been lying away, musing over your every mistake
And how to guide you out of the bed you made.

There's a bed in my room
And it's just for you.
You can use it when you're not too good for me.
The fact that you've been here
For a week is quite the ego boost.
You looked so beautiful in your satin underwear.
You looked so beautiful just lying there.
There's love in this room
And it's just for you.
You can have it even though you're too good for me.
We'll stay up all night
Watching TV on the sofa under a duvet.
You looked so beautiful in your satin underwear.
You looked so beautiful just lying there.
There's a bed in my room
And it's just for you.
You can use it when you're not too good for me.
There's love in this room
And it's just for you.
You can have it even though you're too good for me.
