SHIHAD LYRICS

1. You Again

I hope I never see you again
I hope I never touch you again
Sometimes I wonder, what's fucked in my heart
Won't let your fingers tear us apart

It's all so simple, it's all over again
A lack of talent is caving you in
Sometimes I wonder what's fucked in your heart
We're losing grip now, now we're falling apart

The speaker speaks but the words sound haunted
So much it's falling out of your hands
Could you ever tell?

And it's there for me, there to see
And it's in full view
Why did I waste my time on you?

2. Gimme Gimme

All you people, in denial
I'd learn to run but it's not that simple
Friendly service - with a smile
But there's still no one to hand me a line
Said flowers for you people
It's like ashes to the blind

All you faces in a race
You've got your number - you've got your place
Keep pushing through thick and thin
Collect what you can before winter sets in
You can keep your ashes
What's keeping you blind?
Nothing at all

All you sees not what you wanted
All you sees not what you wanted at all
And we're heading for a time
Where what we've got are the things we find
And we're heading for a time
Believe that we're getting robbed

I'd learn to run
I'd learn to run but it's not that simple
I learned to run
State of things is so sad, sad, sad, sad, sad

We've got the latest in in fashion
We sway the peoples voice
Have you got the right kitchenware?
Have you made the right choice?
We make sure we sell it like you need it
If you don't get it we just repeat it
One more useless product
Until the next one comes
You bought one of those
Won't you try one of these
Cant you see we're just here to please you
We're here to keep you down
'cause if the people ain't wanting
The system just ain't sound

3. The Call

So nice of you to say
Plans laid out for the highway;
Delivering us to the truth
But that road ain't heading my way
And every suggestion
That finds it's way through the lines
Is it mine? Is it anybody else's
I leave it behind

Looks like we're falling over again
Looks like we're falling over
I feel it pull me under
Looks like we're falling over
The Call goes out and everybody moves
Here we go...

I of sound mind
Fetch me a fix of anaesthetic
Up front, Behind
It keeps me hanging on
Wait - here's the action
To take time, to break time
Hate - it's the function
And it keeps me pushing through

4. Envy

Falling - was it right?
Could you tell me - is it right
To envy
Your final escape

Well I spent all year packing on the make-up
Spent all year waiting for your call
And when it didn't come
I was nailed, I was nailed
And when it didn't come
It left me standing
Feet nailed to the floor

How were we
So out of sight
How could you think you were below envy
Was it right?

5. Deb's Night Out

Don't tell me where you've been
'cause I know just where you've been
The truths you tell are few and far between
Nodding off in front of me does not provoke my sympathy
You better get yourself a new line
'cause that shit just ain't worth selling

And it goes...

Pain, pain, wash away
It hurts so much to watch you play
Dream, dream, stay with me
Tell me another story

Don't think I'm taken in
I don't think it's turning out the way you planned it
I'm not yours to plan with
And I pray for the rain, maybe
And I pray for the rain -
To wash you far away

6. Bitter

Wrapped up. Spat out in your self doubt
Should I rip my heart out
Pack it up and send it to you
Things said in anger
Said for gain
Said to cut down
I'll never hear again
Well a part of me sees it all too clear
But another part still burns
For the safety, for the comfort
But our hate outgrew our love and ate it

I can see it started years ago
And I recognise your pain
But I can't forget the innocence
That you've taken from me
Now I see you
But I can't hear you

No - I can't hate you
No - And I don't want to break you down
There's just some things that I want to tell you
Now that you're not hear to drown me out
I've just got to break through

I collect the poison as it spills from your mouth
Savour the taste so that I may work you out
When affection becomes affliction
Let it go

Been watching for far too long
Far too long to get this wrong
I've got the scars to prove it
Snap straight back and I'm here to use it
Delay the memory of the facts and what's outside
Left with your mind, the only place to hide
'cause your so bitter inside

7. For What You Burn

What are you still doing here?
Your stability offers no comfort to me. It don't fill me up
Process what's going through my head
What I've done and what I've said. It won't help me out
Ever thought that by expanding your own mind
Instead of putting me through your own design
You might start learning
Why so many of us feel we don't belong,
So unreal in what you built here,
'cause what you built here
'cause what you built here...

Don't fill me up
Don't help me out
I can't feel my feet on the ground

Feel the edge of a new sensation
Life with you it's so complicated
Won't you let me find my own way
'cause what we've got happening here
Ain't nothing bad, ain't nothing you should fear
It's a celebration
'cause I learn from what you learn
But I burn for what you burn
And I think it's time we let the past lie 'cause the future is what I earned
Pass this world on before the sun goes down
There's untapped beauty to be found
This time is my time

And that fills me up
And now I found
I can feel my feet on the ground

So lift your head up to the golden future
Strong weaken as time deserts the past
And in truth we give so that our souls can live
Come on, get off the beaten path

8. Silvercup

Who owns the face inside the window?
Who holds the key to your soul
I don't care for the state I'm in
From deep down inside I feel it begin
Who holds the key to your soul?

I met a lamp and a man with a silvercup
Lamb has a grievance, wants to take it up with him
Lamb lies face down, Trampled in the pavement
There's still no reason to criticize
It's all here in black and white
Lay down the law so he can victimize the pack
You won't drag me down

All aboard the future, as he held in his hands
Pennies for the chosen but what about the lamb?
If you got something human that's still stirring inside
I hope it squeezes your heart so fuckin' tight
That it gives you time to uncloud your eyes
If it don't you still wont drag me down

9. Get Up

See that sky through the window, that sky for me
But I got to learn to breathe water before I get that high
And all that is pure, through all that is meaningless
Strike the balance
Strip back to the core
And it's too late now, I'm much too far gone
To get a hold of my security and the cloud that I flew from
And I'm ready to start now, this is what I waited for
And the vision it brings such a beautiful thing
That I'm brought to my knees as I finally learn to breathe

See that face in the mirror
Past bone and skin and into the heart of me
I celebrate this bleeding
If that's what scares you
If that's what's pulling you down
Then its time you stop deceiving
'cause it's too late now
I just can't go on
Holding out on myself what and what I could become
And I'm ready to start now
I will 'cause I can
I gotta get up
I gotta get up
Get off my knees...Get up...I will stand

10. Prayer
