See-Saw

One hand gives, while the other one takes,
One man sleeps, while another one wakes.
Strike at the heart of what doesn't matter,
Good or evil, I lean towards the latter.
Quivering equilibrium,
Toppling the scales,
I can't find a way.
Can't we find a happy medium?
By comparison they all pale to you.
Can't we find a happy medium?
One man hears, while another one speaks,
One man cheers, while another one shrieks.
Follow the sounds that break the silence,
Cover the ground that breaks under violence.
Quivering equilibrium,
Toppling the scales,
I can't find a way.
Can't we find a happy medium?
By comparison they all pale to you.
Together we click,
Apart we'd crack,
I'll never miss a trick,
And you'll never look back.
Don't count on me,
To sheer your fleece,
I'll split my life,
and give you a piece.
Quivering equilibrium,
Toppling the scales,
I can't find a way.
Can't we find a happy medium?
By comparison they all pale to you.
Can't we find a happy medium?
One man sees, while another one saw,
One man yields, while another one draws.
Dreaming of things, tainted by feelings,
Laying in silence, staring at the ceiling.

Tea

Hi, I am me,
Try, wait to fail,
Fuck, here we go,
Duck, what a throw.
Stop, let me by,
Drop, let this die,
Stringing me along,
Bring the regrets on.
Poor, little me,
(I'm fine but I need fixing).
What could have been,
(I'm there but I'm not with you).
Poor, little me,
(I'm fine but I need fixing).
What could have been,
(I'm there but I'm not with you).
Trading lies and drinking tea,
The pain subsides, the third degree.
Trading lies and drinking tea,
There's something very wrong with me.
Cry, get a grip,
High, please don't slip,
Fuck, here we go,
Look, what a show.
Hi, I am me,
Bye, I've been me,
This feeling doesn't belong,
Sing your final song.
Poor, little me,
(I'm fine but I need fixing).
What could have been,
(I'm there but I'm not with you).
Poor, little me,
(I'm fine but I need fixing).
What could have been,
(I'm there but I'm not with you).
Trading lies and drinking tea,
The pain subsides, the third degree.
Trading lies and drinking tea,
There's something very wrong with me.
Poor, little me,
(I'm fine but I need fixing).
Poor, little me,
(I'm there but I'm not with you).
Poor, little me,
(I'm fine but I need fixing).
Poor, little me,
(I'm there but I'm not with you).

On Our Own

So, here we are,
on our own,
Nothing left to say today so I'll go.
Wait, nevermind,
I'm all alone,
Nothing left to take away so I'll go,
So, here I stand,
On my own,
Nowhere left to play today so I'll go.
Can you fix me,
Can you see me?
I really need a hand,
Please understand.
Can you fix me,
Can you see me?
I really need a hand,
Please understand.
I'm alone and you don't see it,
I have shown that I don't need it,
You'll never know.
Hey, Stay a while,
It's such a shame,
Breaking down I can't survive without you,
Wait, Nevermind,
I'll take the blame,
I'll never stop until the day I find you.
Hey, There you are,
It's not the same,
I'm losing touch with what I loved about you.
Can you fix me,
Can you see me?
I really need a hand,
Please understand.
Can you fix me,
Can you see me?
I really need a hand,
Please understand.
I'm alone and you don't see it,
I have shown that I don't need it,
You'll never know.
Say the word and I will go!
Say the word and I will go!
How am I supposed to know?
How am I supposed to?
Can you fix me,
Can you see me?
(Say the word and I will go)
(Say the word and I will go)
I really need a hand,
Please understand.
Can you fix me,
Can you see me?
(Say the word and I will go)
(Say the word and I will go)
I really need a hand,
Please understand.
(How am I supposed to know?)
(How am I supposed to know?)

Teeth

We're all finite,
Except for that guy over there,
Just for tonight,
Let me be a little unfair.
Teeth in lips,
Tongue in teeth,
Tongue tied up,
Read my lips.
We're all alone,
Except for people out of the loop,
Just our bones,
Covered in goopy goop.
Teeth in lips,
Tongue in teeth,
Tongue tied up,
Read my lips.
We're all awake,
From the dream that haunts our nights,
Just a quick break,
From the snake that never bites.
Teeth in lips,
Tongue in teeth,
Tongue tied up,
Read my lips.
Hold on tight,
Ignore the light,
I cannot do this alone,
I need you here.
(We don't belong!)
