The secrets out
05:10
|

|
waking up to second guesses
its like a four year one night stand
have you learned your lesson
hopelessness or your best intentions
well regardless of the plan
the world got the message
the world got the message
your secrets out
and you can’t take it back
choice and consequence
no secrets safe
when the world is a stage
and your voice is anonymous
waking up to bad decisions
you’ve got a four year one night stand
with strange bedfellows
now is the time to count your blessings
seems the strength of a nation
sent the world a message
and the world got the message
your secrets out
and you can’t take it back
choice and consequence
no secrets safe
when its fear you wage
thru a vote of confidence

I am hymn

chasing the holy ghost
keep your wits about you now
you’ve been running blind
thru the darkness and the light
cant tell wrong from right
divine delights
signing off for the night
look no further I am hymn
took this pulpit on a whim
look no further I am hymn
I’ve arrived
look no further I am hymn
let my sermon wash your sin
look no further I am hymn
holy lies
where’s your lord and saviour now
its time for sacrifice
and consecrated wine
lets greet the host on the mount
faith is not crucified
when false prophets take a bow
down low on high
look no further I am hymn
took this pulpit on a whim
look no further I am hymn
I’ve arrived
look no further I am hymn
let my sermon wash your sin
look no further I am hymn
holy lies

Amore
04:25

im sorry to say its sad but true
your more in love with me than i am with you
its hard to fake and follow through but
i have no more love for me than i have for you
and im always wanting more
always wanting more
whats a girl to do without youth
whats a girl to do with this truth
pack it in or keep in pursuit
of more and more amore
forsaken after all this time
silence is a lonely mime [crime]
not everything will be all right
if you give in tonight
should i feel a little gratitude that
your more in love with me than i am with you
ive always been so hard to please
in my bed or down on your knees
im always wanting more
always wanting more
whats a poor girl got for proof
whats a girl to do with this truth
pack it in or shake things loose
no more no more amore
forsaken after all this time
is it time to put it all on the line
its not all gonna be all right
because you give in tonight

Stinker

when its free for the taking
you make the most of your alibies
karma and the kitchen sink
are you on the brink of coming clean?
when its facts that your faking
you blur the line between truth and lies
karma and the kitchen sink
did you ever think of coming clean?
make no mistake about it
you are stinker
there is no way around it
you are stinker
make no mistake about it
you are stinker
there is no doubt about it
you are a stinker
when its free for the taking
make the most of your storied life
karma and the kitchen sink
are you on the brink of coming clean?
when you're all done with hand-shaking
line up your enemies and cad allies
karma and the kitchen sink
did you ever think of coming clean?
make no mistake about it
you are stinker
there is no way around it
you are stinker
make no mistake about it
you are stinker
there is no doubt about it
you are a stinker

Turnstyle
02:44
|
|||
|
you dont change at all
not when its asked of you
how long can we go on
believing its nothing
all of a sudden life is a turn-style
and nothing changed at all
you dont change at all
so dont expect me to
we dont both see both sides
but both think we’re right
despite all the movement
life is a turn-style
nothing changed at all

Cycles
03:17
|

|
hold my hands
all the time that peace demands
cut it down to size
and wait for things to normalize
where do we take it from here?
do we bow our heads or face our fears
chiefs of state, prophets or psychos
learning to be a slave to the cycles
misery its going viral
lunacy is a slave to the bible
leader of man, or just a disciple
conspiracists live in denial
fooling ourselves we pray to false idols
the call to arms is no key to survival
close your eyes to calm your fears
hold your breathe the end is near
is it radical to try it on for size?
is it a lonely life in paradise
chiefs of state, prophets or psychos
learning to be a slave to the cycles
misery its going viral
lunacy is a slave to the bible
leader of man, or just a disciple
conspiracists live in denial
fooling ourselves we pray to false idols
the call to arms is no key to survival
