Forbidden Fruit

For as long as time has been
In these pastures of green
I have been your man and you my queen
So what was I to do
When you offered me that fruit
Do I leave you to fall or jump in too?
‘Cause we’ll be sinners by the book
But we’ll have each others arms
To fall upon each other as we look up at the stars
Cast outside of heaven but I think I’ll take my risk
to live a life of pain than to live without your kiss
Forbidden Fruit
For you
I’ll take my bite
I’ll take my bite

It took a bad dream for me to see
The way that you held me
More a flashback to that room
Made of plastic chairs and cigarette fumes
We remember in different ways
Me the simple things and you the glory days
How foolish have I been
To let a fleeting thing become such a part of me?
‘Cause I still feel it
I still feel it
I still feel it under my skin
‘Cause I still feel it
I still feel it
I still feel it under my skin
So where do we go from here?
The love you said you shared is not what it appeared
Energy I didn’t have was still what I gave
But you waited
You waited ‘til I turned my back to say its all in vain
We remember in different ways
Me the simple things and you the glory days
How foolish have I been
To let a fleeting thing become such a part of me?
‘Cause I still feel it
I still feel it
I still feel it under my skin
‘Cause I still feel it
I still feel it
I still feel it under my skin

White Noise
03:21

I don’t sleep at night
God knows how I’ve tried
Maybe the silence is screaming why
But I can’t hear it no matter how hard I try
Pills and white noise
Help me fill the void
The man I swore that I would always be
Is sitting in the black
Staring back at me
I scare myself sometimes
In these corners of my mind
As they stretch out and over wide
Oh Lord
What I’d give just for a place to hide
Pills and white noise
Help me fill the void
The man I swore that I would always be
Is sitting in the black
Staring back at me
Pills and white noise
Pills and white noise
Pills and white noise
Help me fill the void

How The Hell

Cut your hair and join the church band
Parade those streets as the bass drum gives command
Shine those shoes until you can see your face
And keep your back straight
Remember theres eyes here in this place
So how the hell
Did I end up here again
And how the hell
Did it take so long?
Mmm I think I know
I think it was you
Come here child you’ve something here on your face
And change that shirt the colour’s a disgrace
Do you not know for what it is you march?
You’re one of us now
Keep that mantra in your heart
So how the hell
Did I end up here again
And how the hell
Did it take so long?
Mmm I think I know
I think it was you
How the hell (how the hell)
How the hell (how the hell)
How the hell (how the hell)
Did I end up here again?

Leave It All Behind

I’m falling from the heavens and God knows where I’ll land
Here I know I’m ready as the air slips through my hands
I’ll embrace the descent at fast as it may be
‘Cause I will come out flying before I’m on my knees
Oh and I know, I know that you thing I’m crazy
Oh to leave, to leave it all behind
But I know I’ll complete my story
When I chase whats on my mind
On my mind
On my mind
And as I fall from up there I feel no fear
I could stay up here forever
I could stay up here forever
Oh and I know, I know that you thing I’m crazy
Oh to leave, to leave it all behind
But I know I’ll complete my story
When I chase whats on my mind
On my mind
On my mind

Like Ink

Like ink on water
Those bright lights blot the night sky
Like ink on water
You have blurred the thoughts in my mind
But I know its only time
Between our sweet embrace
Like ink on paper
You can take these words with you
Like ink on paper
They are yours whatever you do
But I know its only time
Between our sweet embrace
Like ink on my skin
I am yours ‘til I am dust
Like ink on my skin
Is eternal
Is us
