My Vitriol lyrics
Album: Fine Lines [2001]
| Always: Your Way | |
|
Another day is gone
Some other time maybe I'd come out
And step into the sun
A little time ago
I didn't wanna see us falling out
but everything has gone
I wish I could, Sometimes I wish I would
Always your way
You want it all, I did everything I could
Always your way
I'm talking to the walls
I guess it seems that all the wait is gone
But everything is numb
And in my broken jar
All the remains are watered down
And I'm starting to drown
I wish I could, Sometimes I wish I would
Always your way
You want it all, I did everything I could
Always your way
I wish I could, Sometimes I wish I would
Always your way
You want it all, I did everything I could
Always your way
Always your way
Always your way
Always your way
Always

Don't look at me that way
I know what you're gonna say
It's on your face
The scars went up in flames
While we waited for the rain
That never came
They tried to follow you
Yeah I always wanted to
Through black and blue
But how can I explain
When you're taking all the blame
Until the end
They've left you out on your own
And they've broken all of your bones
And I'm turning
And I'm walking away
Don't look at me that way
I heard what you had to say
It's not your place
The feelings are replaced
And the words have all decayed
And it's another day
and it's another day
And it's another day
They've left you out on your own
And they've broken all of your bones
And they're turning
And they're walking away
And they're turning
And they're walking away

Big mouth strikes again at last
When I thought that all was ended
Gratitude for your attitude
But I'm falling at your feet
And I'm crawling at your feet
Conscience is my greatest good
The fridge is full of just desserts
Fortitude for your adamance
And I'm falling at your feet
And I'm crawling at your feet
Big mouth strikes again at last
When I thought that all was at my back
And I'm falling at your feet
And I'm crawling at your feet
And I'm falling on my knees
And I'm crawling on my knees
At my gratitude for your attitude
And I'm falling at your feet
And I'm crawling at your feet
And I'm falling on my knees
And i'm crawling on my knees
(Scream)

Listen to the man
He wants to be your friend
Listen to them all
The voices in your head
And I don't think I know
What everyone else knows
But I don't seem to care
The situation's grounded
Some of us and everyone is grounded
It's too late to go
Listen to the man
His words were never read
Listen to them all
The voices in your head
And I don't think I know
What everyone else knows
But I don't seem to care
The situation's grounded
Some of us and everyone is grounded
It's too late to go
Grounded (grounded, grounded)
Some of us and everyone is grounded (grounded, grounded)
It's too late to go

Half the girl I used to be
Still dresses up inside of me
Not everything is so pink and blue
But that's the way it seems to you
Lying in a darkened room
Trying to re-write the rules
I'm falling in, I'm falling out
I guess that's what it's all about
If only all the world could see
That they're not like you or me
But I don't mind
I don't mind
I know today that you will see
Your equations splitting at the seams
The pavement cracks to fuck you up
False sympathy to shut you up
Perverted for your right to preach
I'm slipping slowly from your reach
And if all the worlds a stage
Count me out of this play
But I don't mind
Idon't mind
We've been locked inside a day
Your going out of your way
But so am I
So am I

| Ode to the Red Queen | |
|
Here we are again
Finding ourselves at the end
Of the wrong stick
I guess it's far too late
I'm building up the barricades
In my head
And I guess you'll learn soon
She said, someday
Swallowing you whole
You're waiting for them all to choke
On the bones
Another sorry case
The surgeons trying to save his face
From the clones
And I guess you learn soon
She said
And I guess you learn soon
And I'm trying hard to
Understand your ways
And I guess you learn soon
She said, someday

| Windows and Walls | |

I'm starting to crave a kalashnikov
I'm spending my pennies at your thoughts
I'm hearing them all
Through windows and walls
They're pulling the feathers under my wings
They're feeding my anti-anxiety pills
They're making me ill
All of the pills
Are making me ill
Twist me like your smile
So I can hide in here
Safe for a while
And oh, what can you say
The colour photographs are fading away
Oh, what can you do
They've got the lenses on
And staring through you

| Losing Touch | |
|
It's your finest day
Gonna do everything to hurt you,
Hurt you my love
Running out of power
It's only you now and your holy water
Water
I'm losing touch!
I'm losing touch!
I'm losing touch!
So she lost your flower
Funny how you couldn't find another
Another
Glad that it's all over
Cos I'm really sick of falling over
I'm losing touch!
I'm losing touch!
I'm losing touch!
Last chance for the modern man
Stay silent if you can
But everything's ok
And I knew it'd come to this
When everything had ended
But everything's ok
And everything's ok
And everything's ok

| Pieces | |
|
Give me a sign
Am I wasting your time?
I wanted you to run out
I wanted you to run
This time
Give me a heart
Cos I'm falling apart
I'm turning back the hands now
I'm turning back the hands
I'm coming back with all the pieces
But I'm coming back with all the pieces
All the pieces
Lend me your eyes
Cos I'm losing my sight
From all the crooked faces
From all the twisted fate
I'm coming back with all the pieces
But I抦 coming back with all the pieces
All the pieces

| Falling Off the Floor | |
|
Just as empty as it seems
Is there something to believe, my friend
I know they'll hurt you once again
But I'll give you something for the pain
I'm spinning round
Falling through the ground
What time will mend
They'll put back again
Always one to ask for more
This time you are ending up like before
Nothing's left but you alone
And you know they'll never be on their own
I'm spinning round
Falling through the ground
What time will mend
They'll put back again
I'm spinning round
Falling through the ground
What time will mend
They'll hunt you down, you down, down
They'll drag you down
|
| Under the Wheels | |
|
Summer days drifting away my love
Fading out to the sound of the over ground
I'm head over heels
I'm under the wheels
I'm head over heels
For now
I'm head over heels
I'm under the wheels
I'm head over heels
For now

| Wait a Minute | |

Let’s get just a little too proud
That’s the way it seems in the crowd
But it's not quite the same
So you think you’ll never get burned
But you do waiting for your turn
Wait a minute
Let's get a little too loud
That’s the way I see you hidden in the crowds
But it's so far away
But you said I would never get hurt
And I'm here crawling in the dirt
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
So is it that we’re really on trial?
Nothing's ever gonna change our style
So you thought you’ll never get burned
And I'm here waiting for your turn
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
So gimme just a little smile
Cos nothing's ever gonna change for a while
Nothing's ever gonna change for a while

They're taking over,
They're taking root inside your head, yeah...
Them up above you,
They'll take advantage till the end, yeah...
And It's all the same,
In Every Way...
Just for a moment,
You thought that everything would end, yeah...
And you're falling over,
You're tripping every step of the way, yeah...
And It's all the same,
In Every Way...

| Spotlights | |
|
Yesterday they came
And took you away
You were waiting for a change
They walk the alien lanes
Into outer space
Which I know in time will change
You're turning round
But the spotlights will follow you round
Yesterday's the day
They took you away
It all seems so strange
You look the other way
'Cos they're playing their games
All the same again
You're turning round
But the spotlights will follow you round
You're running out now
But the spotlights will follow you round
The spotlights will follow you round
You're coming down
You're only light years away
You're falling down
You're only light years away
But you were always light years away
You were always light years away

You're breaking down inside.... It's just a matter of time
And you're wasting mine
You're spitting at the sky... cos it's raining on you
Yeah what else can you do?
Spring time pulls you away
Cos there's nothing left here to say
They're trying to tell you.... what you always knew
Yeah you knew right from the start
You abdicate your throne.... and now you're all alone
Yeah you're all alone
Your conscience nags you again
But the time has gone for amends
Your conscience kills you again
And there's no one left to blame....
There's no one to blame
They're trying to get you down
Spring time pulls you away
Cos there's nothing left here to say
Spring time drags you away
Cos there ain't much more than I can take

| Another Lie | |
|
Why are the stories always the same?
Seems like they always end this way
I feel so lonely without you here
And all those things I miss of you
I thought we had more
I thought we had more
Was there something I didn't know?
You lied to me
You lied to me
You don't care if you're hurting me
I guess I'm not just sad in a way
What we never saw in a day
It feels like hell to be alone
I guess I'm back on my own
I thought we had more
I thought we had more
Was there something I didn't know?
You lied to me
You lied to me
You don't care if you're hurting me
Is there anyone out there?
Is there anyone out there?
Is there anyone out there?
Help

Cold September morn, I was reborn
The sundays crashed through my front door
From my soul, I'm growing old
I couldn't ask for anymore
I ask you If I could wish upon your kisses
Cold November night, no end in sight
The letters file behind the door
Find my soul, I'm growing old
I couldn't ask for anymore
Sometimes you could be the words
She'd be the tune
And Sometimes I can't help falling down
Sometimes I can't help falling down
Sometimes I can't help falling down
Sometimes I can't help falling down
Cold September morn, I was reborn
The sundays crashed through my front door
Found my soul, I'm growing old
I couldn't ask for anymore
I ask you If I could fly upon your silence
Sometimes I can't help falling down
And sometimes I can't help falling down
And sometimes I can't help falling down
And sometimes I can't help falling down
If I could fly upon your silence
Sometimes I can't help falling down
And sometimes I can't help falling down
And sometimes I can't help falling down
And sometimes I can't help falling down

It's gone on far too long
Why are you never wrong?
And I'm a foreigner at home
Before you know it I'll be gone
Me, yeah, it's all of me,
Yeah, it's all of me, yeah,
Can't you see?
You've taken all the life that's left in me
And what for?
Please don't ask me
I don't really know
I don't know
And everything I've done
Feels like I'm the only one
And I'm a foreigner at home
Before you know it I'll be gone
Me, yeah, it's all of me, yeah
It's all of me, yeah
Can't you see?
You've taken all the life that's left in me
And what for?
Please don't ask me
I don't really know
I don't know
Can't you see?
You've taken all the life that's left in me
And what for?
Please don't ask me
I don't really know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
