Lost in the Haze

Lost in the haze, a fantastic day to forget, the greatest memories blur, but it’s just the knowing,
no worries on the phone, this was a good one, woken in vomit and pissed the bed, try to blame her but she wasn’t there,
time to get up and do it again, it’s Sunday after all, get there for opening time at 11, not eaten since Friday,
have a wee wretch after a couple of sips, a packet of crisps and get on the nips,
work’s a whole day away, having a laugh with the lads, lost in the haze again, can barely stand to play pool,
Super Sunday football & a few quid on the horses, kaleidoscope eyes try hard to focus,
the sensible ones head to the chipper, home to the wife & kids, I'll resent them for a while,
I've got drinks in the tap though, welcome the next wave, the later drinker, they take the piss about the state I was in,
laugh it off, it’s only banter, which day was that? Spanish football’s on now, jukebox is playing loud singalongs,
got to stay out til closing time, or Monday comes, and work and all the travails,
get a taxi to the casino, why fucking not? he’s just onshore, been away 3 weeks, it's good to catch up,
delay sleep for a while yet, barely allowed in, throw some chips on the roulette and then head to the baker,
everything’s so fresh at half 4, wash the grease down with lucozade, hold in the spew in the taxi,
let it all out at the back door, crawl inside & curl up on the cold bathroom floor,
woken by a ringtone, please stop vibrating, the fear's hit but try not to care yet,
back to sleep, lost in the haze a fantastic day to forget

(Please don't hurt me no more)
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
I deserve it
All the bruises I hide
The scars to my legs
The belt buckle to the back of the head
Burns with the iron, a searing hot pan
I deserve it
(Please don't hurt me no more)
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
I deserve it
All the bruises I hide
The scars are marks of pride
Mould me into the person you need me to be
Mould me into the person you need me to be
I deserve it, I deserve every second of it
Mould me into the person you need me to be
Mould me into the person you need me to be
I deserve it, I deserve every second of it
I deserve it

The Disappearing

Will you leave a letter?
Thought about who you leave behind?
How long have you felt this way?
You should talk to a doctor
Maybe they could help
Some pills, counselling
I wish I knew what to say
Can't think of a time without you around
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for the disappearing?
Those fragile, broken minds don't heal
Those fragile, broken minds don't heal
Ah, just want to leave ye know?
Forget about everything
It's not really running away
It's seizing the day
Hear the inner voices
They talk with clarity
A resolution
The disappearing
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for the disappearing?
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for the disappearing?
Those fragile, broken minds don't heal
It's a resolution
Finally some clarity
The disappearing
It's a resolution
Those fragile, broken minds don't heal
(Disappearing)
Those fragile, broken minds don't heal
(Disappearing)
Those fragile, broken minds don't heal
(It's a resolution)

Birds in the Head

I sing along with the birds now, sitting outside in the garden square
The people round here are friendly enough, they fill me with pills so I don't notice they're all crazy
They found me up in an old hut on the mountain, and it was on fire
They talk these wild stories about me,
there's one guy, he's very serious, he wears glasses,
he sits in a room with a load of old books behind him
Keeps writing things down when I tell him what the birds say,
I think he's delusional so they ask me to help him
He wonders what, they talk about, he can't even hear them
Just, how crazy, is he?
The lady that gives me the pills, says she can't hear them either
But I caught her whistling along one day,
I gave her a wink and now she knows that I know she's not crazy
I only take half of the pills, been saving them up for John down the hall
He said he needs, quite a lot, big plans for the end of the month
I like to help people out when I can and they don't, work for me anyway
To sing with the birds I just need to get a little closer
So I'm going to fly, from here to there across, the, square
I sing along with the birds now, lying outside on the garden square
