London 02:58
london eats my money and she hands me back the bones ive been swallowed in her madness and dozing on my throne ive been riding round on buses just to feel im not alone in the twilight of the city hide the friends i once had known god can take my body and refurbish it for show when he wraps me up in soil and the flowers start to grow all my hopes and aspirations, all the love ive ever known fade away into the everything, the limitless unknown lord knows how i love you, how i want to tell you so but ive nothing here to offer, i have only half my soul for i used it as collateral for a bartender's loan traded love over for emptiness, memoryless smoke london kills me slowly and she hollows out my hope she's the poison that i'm weeping, the blood upon the snow she's the stranger in the darkness pressing kisses to my throat she's the child that i've been grieving for, and carry where i go

god, you think you're wise, you think you've really seen it all? you're just a child, you're just a child, you're just a liar who got caught my friend she says how dark it is before the dawn i hope she's right, i hope she's right cos i can't take much more the things that you've been taking, the hearts that you've been breaking will never qualify you as some kind of spirit guide i've been making dinner for the demons that keep knocking on my door been made a sinner by the feelings rotting underneath the floor oh so paranoid am i fucking up my life so i can write another song?

The Maker 04:22
my dying wish is to have never have been born oh to die like a whisper in a storm my living prayer is just to tend to my affairs like a person my age should know how to it's going over in my head, false beginnings and losing friends for that's the price when you've been living in the bottle so i'll turn to something else instead i'll lock my door and call a friend i've come to learn that i can't do it myself i am the maker of my very own demise i'm the writer, i'm the actor and i sell tickets every night so come and see me on a corner nearby and take me home, put me back for someone else to find i turn it over in my hands, grabbing smoke of empty plans i've come to learn that i may never understand the hidden meaning in my lies im sleeping days and working nights all of the madness and the darkened eyes i go to bed and let my worries run free oh to feel how they dance in wild urgency but in my dreams there could be painted scenes try to want them, try to want it try to want something more for me

there's nothing and no-one that scares me like myself there's nothing and no-one that can be that someone else cos i ran us into the ground, now there's nothing left that i can't live without i carried your weight on my aching back you jumped up and down and i started to crack i was weakened and worn and i'm not proud now there's nothing left but silence's aching sound i find it hard to describe the emptiness deep in my spine never dies there's nothing and no-one that will drag you from the dark there's nothing and no-one that will mend your shattered heart i cried my tears on your knees, now i'm begging please get me free

i know i can be heartless i know i can be blind ive been living in darkness ive been serving my time i know i can be reckless and so unkind ive been living in darkness ive been serving my time if you see me when im out there in the cold im the queen of my demise im a vagrant in disguise walking round just looking down looking for the friends i found looking for the scraps of me that i can glue back into one piece if you see me when im out there on the street i am snatching defeat from the jaws of victory walking round just looking down looking for the life i found looking for a peace of mind that i can keep that i can finally call mine
6.
missed a call from my sponsor well i'm sure she'll be wondering where i've been oh someone should tell her, I don't think I can do this I keep going through it again again again i've been going down hard and coming up fast chasing the feeling and drowning the past oh someone should tell me, "i don't think you should do this" i keep going through it again again again cos this is taking parts of me i thought i'd keep forever and everyone around me just wants me to get better but i keep on getting worse, i just don't have the heart it's too hard, it's too hard, it's too hard i've been sleeping at work and grieving at home sleeping with strangers and drinking alone oh the fun it all lessens, when you're just left with questions about who i've become i've been going down hard and coming up fast chasing the feeling and drowning the past someone should tell me, "i don't think you should do this" i keep going through it again again again
