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

I can’t pull myself up from this blackened waiting place I’m in
I should go get some rest
I should try and give you some piece of mind
cut me down to the bone and I’ll bleed like you have never ever seen
oh try the impossible I’ll break my mould, search endlessly.

Oh and yes
I promise that this year I’ll be a good girl
I will be happy happy
Yes I will just keep on trying.

If I could choose to sleep the whole day through
then thats where I’d stay
blanket myself from all these things
I would hide until everything’s OK

So she tries but she keeps falling the same way
She once took herself to the limit starved herself until her ribs showed through
And she tries oh she tries to be a good hearted soul
Can’t see the goodness in good can’t see realistically

You can tell from the muscles in her face shes not a happy girl
And it plagues her as it circumnavigates her head
She has a feeling in her belly that drains the colour from her face
As she sits and thinks about all the bad things shes done

Forget the regret that brings you undone every time you let it
Be sure before you take on all these matters that don’t matter

And she wishing so her mummy could be here
So she could mend her sleepless nights, hold her tight just to know that she is safe
And she dwells on lost love, dwells lost opportunity
And the better life she felt she could have had

Forget the regret that brings you undone every time you let it
Be sure before you take on all these matters that don’t matter
