Always Trouble
03:10

You knew me well
You’d been round my block
You had my treasure trove of secrets
You could pick the lock
But still you could not look
Directly at me
Afraid of what you’d show
Not of what you’d see
Now you’re there when I sleep
Well not exactly you
Just the scenes that your name draws
And me working through
You were always trouble
And you lashed me with the blame
You were always trouble
I sat there as fair game
You were always trouble
Strange need for control
You were always trouble
When you walk on my stage now, the lights go dark
When you walk on my stage now, the music growls
Don’t know why my dreams tend to tread that troubled track
Ignores my fears and sends me back
‘Cause you were always trouble
You lashed me with the blame
You were always trouble
I sat there as fair game
You were always trouble
Strange need for control
You were always trouble
You knew me well
It gets dark round you
You could pick the lock
It gets dark round you
Afraid of what you’d show
It gets dark round you
Well now I know
It gets dark round you
‘Cause you were always trouble
You lashed me with the blame
You were always trouble
I sat there as fair game
You were always trouble
Strange need for control
You were always trouble
You were always trouble
You lashed me with the blame
You were always trouble
I sat there as fair game
You were always trouble
Strange need for control
You were always trouble
You were always trouble

Puppet Show
02:30
|
|||
I know I let you in, I just swung the door out wide
Then I gave you your very own tour of the places that I’d hide
I told the truth to you
The grit and the dirt
But you dragged that mud around and you know how that hurt
And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance, against you
You had your puppet show and I’d admire each display
I thought the way we’d pull and push was just the way that we’d play
I let your words be my drug
I let them heat my veins
Now it’s hard to understand
Why I’d tend to those flames
And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance
And your voice was quicksand
And I was in waist deep
We had all these moments that I wanted to frame up and keep
Your way seemed timeless
Gentle and unique
It just disarmed me though
Left me feeling weak
And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance
And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance
And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance
And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance, against you.

Wind Chimes
03:51
|
|||
I know we all mess up
I scorched it my war struck town
Then I looked round for just one drop
A lick from your flooded ground
I just got stuck
The impossible ‘s what I’d need
The helplessness wore me out then dressed itself as greed
And the wind chimes hit the glass
Lashed too hard, shook too fast
You wreck the calm round here you said to me
I could use a blue sky now
A room with lights switched on
A quiet harbour without whispers of all that has gone wrong
I could use a grown up space
A conversation face to face
Need that gentle pace right now
I changed my way a lot
I covered every hue
But still that one side always grew
It folded round me
I worked full time to forget
Don’t think you’ve been down that far yet
While I rummaged ‘round
Your patience grew thin
And one blustery day we lost all that could have been
And the wind chimes hit the glass
Lashed too hard, shook too fast
You wreck the calm round here you said to me
I could use a blue sky now
A room with lights switched on
A quiet harbour without whispers of all that has gone wrong
I could use a grown up space
A conversation face to face
Need that gentle pace right now
I go down by that shore sometimes, it’s like I don’t know my way
Through the whip of the wind down there, the curving of the bay
I go down by that shore sometimes, it’s like I don’t know my way
Through the whip of the wind down there, the curving of the bay
Now I need the blue sky
The room with lights on
The quiet harbour without whispers of all that has gone wrong
Now I need the grown up space
The conversation face to face
Need that gentle pace right now
Cause down by that shore sometimes
It’s like I don’t know my way
Through that whip of the wind down there,
The curving of the bay
Cause down by that shore sometimes
It’s like I don’t know my way
Through that whip of the wind down there,
The curving of the bay
