Something Like Human Lyrics

Last Time
i'm not the first you sucked down
i drank your pleasure slow
then stumbled out from your veil
still i've come for you tonight
choke my faith and stab my pride
and tell myself that

chorus:
this is the last time
this is the last time
this is the last time now
i'll bleed for you

preservation or predation
as i'm reeling i don't know
crumbled i spill out of your hand
i want to fall
and you see it all
and you'll just laugh when i say

chorus

and everything i feel i know you know
and everything that heals i know you know
and everything that steals i know you know
and everythingthat kills you know

and tell myself that

this is the last time
this is the last time
this is the last time now




Hemorrhage (in my hands)
memories are just where you laid them
drag the waters 'till the depths give up their dead
what did you expect to find?
was there something you left behind?
don't you remember anything i said when i said

don't fall away, and leave me to myself
don't fall away and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding

oh hold me now i feel contagious
am i the only place that you've left to go
she cries her life is like
some movie black and white
dead actors faking lines
over and over and over again she cries

don't fall away, and leave me to myself
dont fall away, and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding

and i wanted
you turned away
you don't remember, but i do
you never even tried

don't fall away and leave me to myself
don't fall away and leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands again
leave love bleeding
in my hands, in my hands
love lies bleeding





Empty Spaces
mister could you maybe lend a hand
to help a drowning, starving, soulless man
whose eyes are blind and feelings all but numb
whose ears are all so deaf and mouth is dumb

chorus:
this is the way, is the way
i fill your spaces now
it's the way, its the way
cause all thats been left for me
is to fight to fill these empty spaces now

night is day and day is night again
and all thats eating bites with toothy grins
the pages of my memory torn in twain
where reconstructing lies could not contain

chorus





Scar
chase the sun in my head
blistered skin turning red
i can't complain
it's something to do
cloud my my mind and erase you

chorus:
since you're gone
all is wrong
nothing seems the same down here
and if your gone
and i'm alone
whose heart will i scar now dear?

fall in fall out
break free break down

feel my legs pushing through
this world i built around you
i know the blame
is not upon you
i know the heartless things i choose

chorus

fall in fall out
break free break down
one look and i die
one kiss goodbye

drag this frown from my face
force a smile to take its place
i can pretend that i'm not confused
and i don't need the likes of you

fall in fall out
break free break down
one look and i die
one kiss goodbye






Bad Day
had a bad day again
she said i would not understand
she left a note and said i'm sorry i
had a bad day again

she spilled her coffe, broke her shoelace
smeared the lipstick on her face
slammed the door and said i'm sorry i
had a bad day again

and she swears there's nothing wrong
i hear her playing the same old song
she puts me off and puts me on

and had a bad day again
she said i would not understand
left a note and said i'm sorry i
had a bad day again




Prove
lay me down in sheets of linen where she lies
i know if she's grinning in there
crossed your heart and hoped to die
and still you broke that spirit that i bear

chorus:
lay me down for a while
maybe you can tell me why
all my dreams are so defiled
and prove to me
you're something like human

lay me down in sheets of linen where she hides
i know i'm going nowhere
everything i hoped to be and feel

is in those lies you're telling somewhere

Chorus






Easy
i've seen your "johnny come lately"
seen your exiled love parade
for you another hit is so easy
one more mask for the charade

chorus:
yeah, you don't hear the sounds i hear
yeah, you don't feel the fear you fear
the distance that is there
well it's wearing pretty thin now
and breaking you down is gonna be so easy

i've felt your high and mighty
parasols and darkest shades
your sideways glance says maybe
longing eyes give you away

chorus

We'll walk this way now baby
Bring the pleasure, bring the pain
your secret's safe with me for saving
no one has to know you came

chorus






Down
i gave you everything
i gave you trust and salvation
i gave you everything that i could provide
i gave you strength to stand and you shoved me down

chorus:
i know you want me to love you
but all you ever do is bring me down
won't you go away forever

i felt the world of pain
brought to the water then left me dry
took the drug from the user
took all my strength to run then shoved me down

chorus

it's kinda freaky just to see you crawl
and all you can do is stare
i know you're tripping
while i kick you to the curb
like you kicked me

chorus



Solace
draw the shades to close my eyes
i never want to see again
i found the cost of courage high
sometimes hard to pay
i hear the songs the sirens sing
calling on the shores for me
so sell your soul and try to fly
the tether still remains
and all the finer things they laid upon my table
smiled as their hooks were slowly sinking in

another pill for me to consume
to make me feel again
is followed by another one
to make me loose the same
god if i could recognize
the things to make me whole again
and draw this air into my lungs
remember how to breathe

for as the curtain rose i danced as i was able
felt my deception slowly sinking in

and so i turned to you my love
for the solace that is there
and offer any cherished thing
for a slight repreive
i hoped that you might find me here
and i could learn to smile again
and as a balm for these wounds
take away the sting

and as the band did play your body i did cradle
i should have known that song would have to end





Knives
give me one good reason
to why you're so blind
i covered your back again
now you'd better cover mine

chorus:
if i turned and walked away
would you stick your knives in me
how much longer till you break
until i walk away, walk away from you

give me one good reason
to why your so unkind
you know i believe its true, believe its true
you know i believed in you

chorus



Innocent
satan, you know where i lie
gently i go into that good night
all our lives get complicated
search for pleasures overrated
never armed our souls
for what the future would hold
when we were innocent

angels lend me your might
forfeit all my lives to get just one right
all those colors long since faded
all our smiles all confiscated
never were we told
we'd be bought and sold
when we were innocent

this prayer is for me tonight
this far down that line and still ain't got it right
and while confessions not yet stated
our next sin is contemplated
never did we know
what the future would hold
or that we'd be bought and sold
we were innocent




Slow
all this time
i thought this coming down was fine
now everythig i fought to grow
is whithered hanging on that vine

Chorus:
and all i wanted
was all i needed you know
and everything good in my life
if you have to take it all away
oh no, take it all away, oh no, no, no
take it slow

everything i try to find
is every love i'll never hold
and in your garden now
the weeds are choking seeds we've sown

chorus

now you find
your own savior for a time
and if you try my love
i hope you'll find your cure in time

chorus
