Fast As You Can
When the Pawn..
I let the beast in too soon, I don’t know how to live
Without my hand on his throat; I fight him always & still
O darling, it's so sweet, you think you know how crazy
-How crazy I am
You say you don’t spook easy, you won’t go, but I know
And I pray that you will
-Fast as you can, baby run-free yourself of me
Fast as you can
I may be soft in your palm but I’ll soon grow
Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your
Heart from under your skin
-Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Sometimes my mind don’t shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where I’m begging for a lift
Or I’ll drown in the wonders and the was
And I’ll be your girl, if you say it’s a gift
And you give me some more of your drug
Yeah, I’ll be your pet, if you just tell me it’s a gift
Cuz I’m tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because
I let the beast in and then;
I even tried forgiving him, but it’s too soon
So I’ll fight again, again, again, again, again.
And for a little while more, I'll soar the
Uneven wind, complain and blame
The sterile land
But if you’re getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
I’m blooming within
Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I’ll be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing
Run its route
Fast as you can (repeat 4 times)

Damian came over to my house and heard the soft part playing as he came up the stairs. "Typical Cheryl" was the look on his face. He would never listen to my music. He would groan and complain until he made me feel so bad about subjecting him to it that I would turn it off.
I will never let anyone do that to me again.
Then the fast bit resumed and he realised it was Fiona.
Yes I have changed Damian.
Your "village bicycle" threw off the shackles of your ridiculous idea of masculinity, the masculinity of an eight year old.
Girls have germs, I can't be seen with a girl in case I see someone I know, they'll think I'm soft.
Yet another silly_boy.
Maybe I should have watched where I threw those shackles, that nurse your with now won't even let you be in the presence of another female without her supervision, let alone me, the ex you wanted to try and be friends with again.
Why am I still so angry about this?

I Know
When the Pawn..
So be it, I’m your crowbar
If that’s what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I don’t know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I’ll know, I’ll know
And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
I’ll know, I’ll know
Baby-I can’t help you out, while she’s still around
So for the time being, I’m being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you’ll just consider this-even if it don’t make sense
All the time-give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you’ve early closed your curtains,
I’ll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It’s ok, don’t need to say it.

my feel for you, boy
is decaying right in front of me
like the carrion of a murdered prey
and all i want is to save you, honey
or the strength to walk away
how many times do i have to say
to get away
get gone
flip your shit past another lass'
humble dwelling
you got your game made your shot
and you got away with a lot
but i'm not
turned on
so put away that meat your selling

Get Gone
When the Pawn..
How many times do I have to say
To get away-get gone
Flip your shit past another lasses
Humble dwelling
You got your game, made your shot, and you got away
With a lot, but I’m not turned-on
So put away that meat you’re selling
Cuz I do know what’s good for me-
And I’ve done what I could for you
But you’re not benefiting, and yet I’m sitting
Singing again, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this
M'I gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth was out that he don’t give a
Shit about me
How many times can it escalate
Till it elevates to a place I can’t breathe?
And I must decide, if you must deride
That I’m much obliged to up and go
I’ll idealize, then realize that it’s no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
There’s nothing left to grieve
Fuckin go-
Cuz I've done what I could for you, and I do know what’s
Good for me and I’m not benefiting, instead
I’m sitting singing again, singing again, singing again,
Sing, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he won’t get with this
I'm gonna heal from this; he won’t admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
It’s time the truth was out that he don’t give a
Shit about me

Never_is_a_Promise
Tidal
You'll never see the courage I know
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow - the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
You'll say you understand, but You don't understand
You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch - these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you
You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
You'll never live the life that I live
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You'll never hear the message I give
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
You'll say you understand, you'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie

Criminal
Tidal
I been a bad bad girl
I been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
when a girl will break a boy
just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for
my sins
I've come to you cuz I need
guidance to be true
and I just don't know where I can begin
What I need is a good defense
cuz I'm feelin' like a criminal
and I need to be redeemed to the one
I've sinned against
because he's all I ever knew of love
heaven help me for the way I am
save me from these evil deeds
before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
at hand
But I keep living this day like the next will never come
oh help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've gotta cleanse myself of all these lies
till I'm good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose
and I'm betting high
so I'm beggin' you
before it ends just tell me where to begin
let me know the way
before there's hell to pay
give me room to lay the law and let me go
I gotta make a play
to make my lover stay
so what would an angel say
the devil wants to know
repeat chorus

sleep_to_dream
I tell you how I feel,
but you don’t care.
I say tell me the truth,
but you don’t dare.
You say love is a hell you cannot bear.
And I say gimme mine back
and then go there - for all I care.
I got my feet on the ground
and I don’t go to sleep to dream.
You got your head in the clouds
and you’re not at all what you seem.
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways.
So don’t forget what I told you,
don’t come around,
I got my own hell to raise.
I have never been so insulted
in all my life.
I could swallow the seas
to wash down all this pride.
First you run like a fool
just to be at my side.
And now you run like a fool,
but you just run to hide,
and I can’t abide.
I got my feet on the ground
and I don’t go to sleep to dream.
You got your head in the clouds and you’re not at all what you seem.
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled
by your deviant ways.
So don’t forget what I told you,
don’t come around,
I got my own hell to raise.
Don’t make it a big deal,
don’t be
so sensitive.
We’re not playing a game anymore,
you don’t have to be so defensive.
Don’t you plead me your case,
don’t bother to explain.
Don’t even show me your face,
’cuz it’s a crying shame.
Just go back to the rock
from under which you came.
Take the sorrow you gave
and all the stakes you claim -
And don’t forget the blame.
I got my feet on the ground
and I don’t go to sleep to dream.
You got your head in the clouds
and you’re not at all what you seem.
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled
by your deviant ways.
So don’t forget what I told you,
don’t come around,
I got my own hell to raise.

the nickel dropped when I was on my way beyond the rubicon
what did I do?
and the games that I could handle
and then the ones with a candle
what can I do?
I'm a frightened, fickle person
fighting, cryin', kickin', cursin'
what should I do?
after all the folderol and hauling over coals stops
what will I do?
can't take a good day without a bad one
don't feel just to smile until I had one
where did I learn?
I make a fuss about a little thing
rhyme is losing to the riddling
where's the turn?
I don't want a home, I grow in that home is where my habits have a habitat
why give it turn?
after all the folderol and hauling over coals stops
what did I learn?
I am likely to miss the main event if I stop to cry and complain again
so I will keep a deliberate pace
let the damn breeze dry my face
mister, wait until you see what I plan to be
I've got a plan to demand and it just began
and if you're right, you'll agree
here's coming a better version of me
here's coming a better version of me
here comes a better version of me...
