Sinking Deep
Hands Under Skin
Flesh To  Me
Born So Black

Its been with me forever
but we've seemed colour blind
I've hung onto shame
Now I suggest you pray

You said we be together
On your back forever
But time and time again
you've let me down

I was born on a devil's back
Never seeing what was in front of me
Born on the Devil's back
Will you just let me down

And so once again
I find myself upon
Another English Rose
In between and up above
The passion that provides the throws

As I choke your throat
You gouge my eyes
My body desires more
You scratch my skin
I cut you deep
Leave you breathing on the floor

Carve an imprint
On my brain
Easier said than done
This blood thirst I have in me
Is a hunger that won't succumb

Can you live with this
Live with the consequence
Can you live with this
When the knife is in your hand

You're a wishing well full of hate
When the knife is in your hand

When does faith become fairytale?
And would be heroes
Take to the stage to say their piece
Who will listen, who will take note?
Put them on a pedestal
And see what we can learn.

When does faith become fairytale?
When the dragons being slain
Are the people who don't believe
In the same ideals
But think for themselves
When does faith become fairytale?

When does faith become fairytale?
Is it when the happily ever after
Comes at the cost
Of innocent lives lost
Is YOUR faith a fairytale?

When there is no happily ever after
And all the dragons have been slain
When the heroes turn their poison tongues
And whisper to your ear
Who will be left
To think for themselves
And turn this world around
Will they see through the false facade
But teach to no avail?
When does faith become fairytale?

This will always hurt
if it ever starts.
As we fake this time together
I'll wait for you to break my heart.

Sorry for the pain
all I've ever caused.
Shouldn't have been so selfish
forgive these many flaws.

I'll disapoint you if you let me
and let me you have done.
Piece together these shattered parts
to make the man i have become.

Now its me who feels like a ghost
its my life I miss the most.
Gave it up now it seems
for you to live your dreams.

Something so impossible
achieved through
guile and chance
truth be told, baby
I chose this life
cos I cant dance.

Before you hear that
voice inside your head
look before you leap

When no-bodies around
to offer solace
pray your soul to keep

Amongst the chaos
and all this sin
try keep your pure heart, buried
deep within

If you're comfortable
with the skin you're in
you have nothing left to fear
Remember
its only human empathy
that makes you shed that tear.
