Gutterflower lyrics

Ecstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine now,
Oh youre so vain,
Now your world is way too fast,
Nothings real and nothing lasts,
And Im aware
Im in love but you dont care.

Turn your anger into lust,
Im still here but you dont trust at all,
And Ill be waiting,
Love and sex and loneliness,
Take whats yours and leave the rest,
So I'll survive,
God its good to be alive.

(Chorus)

You and I got something
But it's all and then it's nothing to me, yeah
And I got my defenses
When it comes to your intentions for me, yeah
And we wake up in the breakdown
Of the things we never thought we could be, yeah
I'm not the one who broke you
I'm not the one you should fear
What do you got to move you darling
I thought I lost you somewhere

And I didn't think about
All the ways I hurt you and myself
And I wouldn't say a thing to you
I keep it to myself in
My mind
And I can't stand without you
And I won't find the answers
When you're gone
But it's over to you
I can't find the answer when you're gone
And it's over to you
But you can't find the answer where you are
And you know I need you now
And this ain't easy to admit

Hey. . .what are ya thinkin'
I tried to read your face
Say. . .say what you're thinkin'
Don't carry round that pain

Everytime I see you . . pickin' at yourself
I love . . .I love when things work out

Smash. . .I heard ya cryin'
Seven times this year
Crash. . .cause now you're smilin'
Holdin' back those tears

Everytime i see you pickin' at yourself
I love . . .I love when things work out

Stranger than your sympathy,
And this is my apology
I Kill myself from the inside out,
And all my fears have pushed you out.
And I wished for things that I don't need.
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free.
It's all I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees.
Oh yeah, everything's all wrong , yeah.
Everything's all wrong, yeah.

You take a lot of chances with your feelings
No one really knows what you feel
And fiction is the only way you're dealing
You turn your pretty head if it gets real

You take it so slowly
And your eyes look so lonely
And it's only when you think about me
Oh yeah
When you think about me
Think about me

I got ahead don't let me sleep
You got a secret I can't keep

Truth is a whisper and only a choice
Nobody hears above this noise
Always a risk when you try to believe
I know there's so much more than me

Yeah I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's just a promise no one ever keeps
And now it's changing while you sleep
And no one can see

Chorus:
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
Shoulda packed away

I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along

Chorus:
Mama just called and said she's tucked away
Mama just called and said she's tucked away another day
Her mama just called and said she's tucked away
Her momma just called and said she's extra sad today

Are you listenin' now?
Are you feelin' that way?
Aren't you terrified?
Of wakin' up too tired to try again?

Are you happy now
That you've shut yourself down
Are you paralyzed
By all the nonsense that's gone down

I know you're gonna see these things some day

Sorry I wasted so much of your time
Now I'm tryin' to put your riddle to a rhyme
Now it's up up up I'm headin for this evenin'

When youre feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again
How does it feel
When you drop down everythings all the same
Oh yeah
Saccharine, caffeine, nicotine gum
Yeah it tastes sweet but it's not for long
And I just think you thought it would be

And when youre looking for truth on the cover of a magazine
How does it feel
When you find out what youre not gonna be
Oh yeah

What do you need from me tonight
I feel you look right through me now
I can't pretend it's alright
Maybe we'll find a way somehow

Why do you need to turn it on
Why does it always feel so wrong

What do you need from me tonight
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
You're wrong
You're wrong
You're wrong
You're wrong

Fear makes you fragile darling

You never know
some folks think the world just moves too slow
But was it you?
Who told me I'm your everything

Chorus:
You hit me like I never felt before
Hit me like a sucker punch, you're rotten to the core
You know you hit me like I've never felt before
Silly for the last time

You never take
A promise from a man who sheds his skin
You had to wait
For my achin' heart to break
