Long after the boy found himself at my door
take him in with love, he leaves me half destroyed
strong and steady steps, upon the world you dance
keep myself as one though my heart it does collapse

And I feel like I can’t do this anymore
And I feel frustrated
And I feel like I can’t do this anymore
And I feel my time has been wasted

Long after the boy took me into his heart
He takes me all inside then he pulls it all apart
Surely I am smart, I am smart enough to see
Life without this boy is surely better off for me.

There it goes now, it’s taken from me
and I’m silent, I can’t speak or sing.
What ever happened to cures or colds.
It’s gone before you know it, but this ones taking hold.

This one’s taking hold.

She assures me it will go away
and I’m trusting, I’m hoping, I pray.
That I won’t have to worry about it anymore
but it just isn’t budging and this I can’t ignore.

This one’s taking hold.

Just when seas are calmer than before
something changes in the air not there before
brace yourself for something more absurd
hoping for a spry revival in return

If you can stand the worst of it then you can have the best of it.

Backing for the foal that cannot win
knowing every time that it’s just false hoping
seeing as it flairs and falls in turn
I’ll maintain an air of sturdy unconcern.

If you can stand the worst of it then you can have the best of it.

And when this beast rears it’s head
I will comb it’s mane and bathe it in euphoria
and we will dance with the knowledge of it’s death in time.

If you can stand the worst of it then you can have the best of it.

If you’re tyring to explain yourself well don’t try
I’ve been so sympathetic but now I’m tired of it
And you stuffed it up once, I forgive you
You stuffed it up twice, forgiven
But to let you stuff it again that wouldn’t be right no.

I have all these angry things to day but I’m too tired
And yes you’ve made a few mistake but holy moly I’ve learned from it
And your head is now your prison
And when the pain in you has risen
I hope to god you sit and smoulder with the heat of me upon your shoulders

I’ve tried to make myself see the good in it but
I lied when I said I could be happy
Give to me a part of you that I can keep
And I will hold you forever close to me just to feel you smile is all I need

I have a grater wedged upon my heart but I’m OK
It’s just everytime I think of you the grater wants to move a pinch
And now the pendulum is swinging
I’m happy I’m sad and I’m thinking
I’m obviously much better off oh god please make this heart break stop and

You’ll find that any hope in me subsides
Give to me oh a reason for my waiting
Terribly I can’t leave behind what you say in me
And like the masochist I am I’ll dwell until I’ll understand it

So nows my chance to forget you so take your time
I’ll find the strength to walk away
I’ll find it soon for that I pray
And though the time we had was fleeting
My head it took a beating
And I’m wanting you now more than ever and I’m screaming for these things I’ve severed.

This little rat will
Swim it’s way through again
Find him somewhere
Not here

I hear you on the radio waves
I’m hearing what you don’t want to say
I’m excavating right down to your core

This little rat will
Swim it’s way through again
Find him somewhere
Not here

I will be sure I’ll set it up
I’ll capture all their souls and I’ll grind them up
They will tell me of their deceit
and then I will force feed it straight back down their throats
straight back down their dirty throats

This little rat will
Swim it’s way through again
Find him somewhere
Not here
