Behind My Eyelids

I saw behind my eyelids, your face in front of mine
In my subconsciousness I created a situation of us in our prime
You smelt as good as summer and looked just how we met
With a grey jacket hiding your body and a scarf around your neck
Oh how I loved those days, how I loved your skin
I keep you in my memory and I’ve jumped right in
Chorus:
And I can see so clear here, how nice it is to reminisce.
The days I spent with you dear, I keep them safe behind my eyelids
I saw behind my eyelids your eyes look into mine
In my subconsciousness I heard whispers that made me feel fine
You can make my body shiver and set my soul on fire
And even just to envision you turns every vein of mine into a live wire
Cause I loved those days, when it was skin on skin
I keep you in my imagination and I have jumped right in
Chorus:
And I can see so clear here, how nice it is to reminisce.
The days I spent with you dear, I keep them safe behind my eyelids

If I Wait

With a cigarette in my mouth I sit and try to figure this out.
Your fingers blanket my hand.
This is real, I’m not sure you understand.
There’s times when we’re on fire, flames weave around our bones,
and that doesn’t have to end, there’s don’t need to be alone.
I wish you would hold me without thinking about a thing
Chorus:
Why are you afraid to let me in?
What is it you say when you touch my skin?
If I wait will something begin?
Cause I could love you boy
My posture is my alibi; I stand tall so you won’t think I mind
But my eyes, my eyes will tell you otherwise
I wish you would hold me without thinking about a thing
Chorus:
Why are you afraid to let me in?
What is it you say when you touch my skin?
If I wait will something begin?
Cause I could love you boy
You stand so close to me.
So close I feel you breathe.
So close and then you leave.
Chorus:
Why are you afraid to let me in?
What is it you say when you touch my skin?
If I wait will something begin?
Cause I could love you boy

Men In Suits

It's a cold state of affairs, getting older and more aware,
to the oblivion and ignorance that repels the people who care.
Twisted silence dances around us, we try to fight for his life,
but you burn his chances away
I've got men in suits and they are coming for you
Chorus:
And they'll take whatever they can find
Put your hands on your head if you've got nothing to hide
You say you're here but you are never there
Burning his soul with your cold winter stare
I've got men in suits and they are coming for you
So what you gonna do?
It's been a decade so slow, feels like we are doing this alone
Cause a life that he deserves to live is swallowed by your pride
I've got men in suits and they are coming for you
Chorus...
It's time for you to prove that you will do all you can do
Step up your game cause right now it's you who's insane
Chorus...
I've got men in suits and they are coming for you
I've got men in suits and they have so much to prove
I've got men in suits so what are you going to do?
With these men in suits 'cause they are coming for you.

It was your journey, I was your mistake
I was the lust that you had to make.
I’m still asking questions, trying to find the truth.
You used me and now I use you as an excuse
I gave myself to a liar
He had me naked on the ground
Now I’m scared to play with fire
So I’ve burnt every flame I’ve found
I’ve spent all this time by myself.
Seeing life through your eyes
and hearing your words through every mouth.
I was just a girl in the wrong time and place
yeah and years go by but memories don’t fade
I’m a sad case of bitter, I still blame you.
I'm a sad case of bitter, I still blame you.
I gave myself to a liar
He had me naked on the ground
Now I’m so damn scared to play with fire
So I’ve burnt every flame I’ve found
Stand up and call yourself a liar
Stand up so I can play with fire
x2
You’re a liar.
I gave myself to a liar
He had me naked on the ground
Now I’m so damn scared to play with fire
So I’ve burnt every flame I’ve found
x2
I’m a sad case of bitter
