The System

He's so naive that she don't want to leave him now
Cuts round his eyes from the biggest surprise allowed

He says boy look what you've done to that girl
He says son look what you've changed her into
He says what contribution have you made to the world?
Look what you've changed into

The pictures come back from a reconstruction
Of a palace tragedy, he's so sad but he's
Got a strategy, a lost identity
He's not giving up on the illusion yet

And when the system fails everyone's gonna say
I saw the signs but no one would listen
Nobody's listening, nobody's listening
I'm so ashamed
So you swing and miss, delete all the memories
Powdered bliss, and poisonous remedies
Only this between me and the darkest place

And when the service fails you'll all still be upstairs
Racking your brains, hands through your hair
But nobody's listening, nobody's listening
Nobody's answering me
So you swing and miss, delete all the memories
Powdered bliss, and poisonous remedies
Only this between me and the darkest place
Make a change, a change from the negative
Take the pain, but pain's always relative
Feel the same as I did in the first place

I saw the signs but I read the lines and left
The bits between I didn't want to believe them.

(Alice) I Hate You

I worry that you'll never trust again
Let yourself go to another life
I never saw you let your guard down
Even so I know that you still tried

She probably hates me now
There's a voice inside her
She probably hates me now
It tells her to hide, it says:

"You will pay for letting your guard down!
And you will pay for letting yourself feel loved!
And you will be pay for being a stupid girl
And thinking this is really going somewhere good!"

I worry that you'll never trust again
Let a stranger come inside your mind
Alice has got a real poet's streak
I bet she feels like tearing the paper off the walls sometimes

She probably hates me now
There's a voice inside her
She probably hates me now
It tells her she deserves it, says:

"You will pay for letting your guard down!
And you will pay for letting yourself feel loved!
And you will be pay for being a stupid girl
And thinking this is really going somewhere good!"

Alice I hate you, Alice I hate you
Alice I hate you sometimes
Alice I hate you, Alice I hate you
Alice I hate you, Alice I hate you
You make me...
