lyrics

I see your words gun through me, feel them burn
You think I'm lazy, that I should have learned
Take a look at mine and you may find
I know a place were light can't shine
I've been here for years and not come out
She thinks I'm lazy that I'm worst set-out
That I don't listen I am just a pawn
That these scars wash off if you scrub hard

[Verse 2]

I feel no worry, I'm a social toy
A daydream-lover, but it's all a ploy
A walking compact who can't seem to think
as I wash the pain down with a drink
Time after time I sing these lines
Hoping in the end I'll turn out fine
We're all just lovers in a masquerade
a lonely player upon a stage

[Chorus]

Kiss me
Tell me just what you need
Give me
You know that you will receive
I've mastered
a face as cold as ice
Read me
and you will have to read twice

(Alright, Alright, Alright)

[Verse 3]

It's going down and crashing to the floor
It wasn't me who wanted moral war
But people pick and choose opposing sides
and leave the innocent standing double-blind
but as the truth comes out the fog does clear
Saboteurs amongst the hidden seers
It's just a game that we all like to play
destroying confidence day by day

[Verse 4]

A boat came down and carried me ashore
There was no pain in my heart anymore
I know that grace forgives and washes clean
all the pain that had once smitten me
The people sing and laugh hoorah, hoorah
The only thing that stops is a locked jaw
So carry me to my own promised land
and burden me no more I take your hand!

[Chorus]

Kiss me
Tell me just what you need
Give me
You know that you will receive
I've mastered
a face as cold as ice
Read me
and you will have to read twice(x2)

Kiss me!
