When my heart can't get the words to my mouth...Music does it for me

Headlock
--------
I've been walking, you've been hiding,
And you look half dead half the time.
Monitoring you, like machines do,
You've still got it, I'm just keeping an eye
______________________________________________
Hide and Seek
--------------
Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.

.................
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?
________________________________
Loose Ends
-----------
It's complicated... this time, I think it could be.
Triangulated, it could be just what we need...
So what you say... we give it up and walk away?
Nothing to salvage, anyway.
............
Not now, not ever, no... it's never a good time.
How will the good times ever roll along?
Comparing photos then and now.
Just wondering...wondering...where it all went wrong.

.............
Want to, oh, need to, oh, Try to, oh none of the above...

Shine
-----
Rain drain my play away
Sun gun me down and burn me
Nature hates me today
My head distorts reality

Madness just moved into my shadow

Shine - I will not cry and I will not die no
Shine - I will be there for me
Shine - I will not cry and I will be mine
I'll shine - shine

Who waltzed me into this
Am I now stuck here forever?
Luck just gave me a kiss
Then lashed me down with a leather strap


Trying to learn to swim without any water

Trying just to begin just when youre in for the slaughter

Speeding Cars
-------------
Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violence, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck
___________________________________
The Walk
--------
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now, cos you and I were never meant to be
I think you better leave; it's not safe in here,
I feel a weakness coming on.

Alright then (Alright then) I could keep your number for a rainy day,
That's where this ends, no mistakes no misbehaving,
Oh, I was doing so well, can we just be friends,
I feel a weakness coming on.


No it's not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I don't want to feel like this
................
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now; you're as close as it gets without touching me,
Oh no, don't make it harder than it already is,
Mmm, I feel a weakness coming on.
...............
Big trouble losing control,
Primary resistance at a critical low,
On the double gotta get a hold,
Point of no return one second to go,

No response on any level, red alert this vessels under siege,
Total overload, systems down, they've got control,
There's no way out, we are surrounded,
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it

_________________________________________
Just For Now
-------------
Just for now
...........
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessness's aside
If just for (just for now) a little while
tears stop right here
I know we've all had a bumpy ride.
I'm secretly on your side
..............
Well I, quit kicking me under the table
I'm trying
; will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?
.................
Lie down
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
.................
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me
..............
Will ya get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here



Thank you again Imogen Heap
