Don't let me feed you those lines Cause you have heard enough And if you don't shut me up Then you will find it tough Don't let me become the issue I know you're better than that Separate entirely before it You know you're better than that Because I came from them I'll blame it all on them Don't let me close I swear It will be the last thing you do

Forever a slave Forever a slave My hands are tied There's nothing I can do I try to lie but the truth seeps through I tried to make you a fool But I'm a fool for you I'll break the mould from which I'm drawn, yeah Turn back the dial Turn back the dial The lack of input has made this exchange vile Forever a slave Forever a slave All deals are dealt with dirty hands I throw my stone to see where it will land Turn back the dial Turn back the dial The lack of input has made this exchange vile Forever I'll play, I'll play with broken hands

There are so many people Who seem to have nothing to do Does anybody have a clue? Sunday night, is there nowhere better to be? You knew the answer when you fired off the question at me Let’s spend a night at the Waverley So you take pills for your head Because you’re stuck there in your bed I say it’s all I like and it has been for all my life and I say it all the time, yeah And I say it all the time There are so few places Where you can even go But “it’s a great little town”, don’t you know? Bored to death, surely this isn’t it Does this not bother you one little bit? End up in chancers, wake up feeling shit So I take pills for my head Because I’m stuck here in my bed I say it’s all I like and it has been for all my life and I say it all the time Waverley Fucking B

You may have found me ignorant and crass, But being that selfish was never gonna last I’m back to caring if you’re down with sharing, ‘Cause I don’t know better The empty feeling it brings me down to earth, Yeah, other people bring me validation and my sense of self-worth It’s gone too far, no So I let them know The year begins as I know it will end, Full of high hopes but ending up alone instead, in my head, It’s taking over now It’s taking over Well, the pressure’s building and I don’t know how to stop, That waterfall I pictured has trickled to just a drop The empty feeling is back and it’s taking over Taking over Taking over Taking over I said it’s taking over

Conscious, It’s that feeling again no less, Put it out of mind I’ve fallen foul of your clever ruse, I can’t continue if I can’t choose And if you stay, you’ll get a glimpse of what I could be, But you’ll quickly tire of sitting with me I’m sitting alone Your dress, Each patch from a different decade, Why don’t you go back there too? I’ve seen the other side, So let me save you the fuel It’s all I can do I’ve been a victim of my poor choice I’ve lost my words, I’ve lost my voice And if you stay, you’ll get a glimpse of what I could be, But you’ll quickly tire of sitting with me Cause I’m bitter and spiteful Maybe it’s best if you don’t stay a while This baggage weighs a ton Just know that I am done Just know that I am done And when you see The other side of me And that there isn’t more You’ll see me collapse, You’ll see me collapse, You’ll watch the moon stand on its head

Deep down inside, there is somebody Beneath the disguise, trapped within his Shell he lies, content to base his life around lies It’s the same thing every year You have respect from all your peers, but you and I collide I see it time and time again before my eyes Wish I could cave in and pretend I don’t know I wish that I could let it go but I’m tired of you leaving, each time worse than the last Can't you stay in the past? Stay away Not today Not today I saw your smile I guess it had been a while But I wasn’t over her or over it And I told you that I wasn’t cool with it I think you're full of shit and doesn't that make you hurt a little bit? I’d love to see you go but you’re too scared to leave It’s funny- I wonder if you know or if you just don’t believe Wish I could cave in and pretend I don’t know Wish that I could let it go I’m tired of you leaving, each time worse than the last Can’t you stay in the past? Your part time charade is no good to me Here for a season but what about the other three? I’ll make it change, I’ll cut the ties to your web of lies My conscience tells me "fuck the past" because the good times went so fast But this is here and now, consider this my vow, consider this my vow, why don’t you stay away Stay away Stay away Stay away, why don’t you Stay away Stay away Leave me out
