Don't Mess With Me - poets of the fall


Sometimes I know there is nothing to say
So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away?
Do I follow my conscience?
Am I mock sincere?
I don't know what i'm doing here
I have a knack for perceving things
I can see how it sounds
I can feel how it sings
When you paint me an image of who you are
I know it's the best by far
So
Don't, don't, don't mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don't, don't, don't say you care
Cos I could never shake it
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
No point of view is enough to quell
The rigors of passion in this world I dwell
If i'm going to scale the highest wall
I'm gonna give it my all
Riding along with this train of thought
I see everything
I find all I sought
And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach
But there's something I do beseech
So please...
Don't, don't, don't mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don't, don't, don't say you care
Cos I could never shake it
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
I'll say it's not surprising
You're sweet talking, mesmerizing
Juicy and appetizing, true
But will I need to get over you?
Feels like my sun is rising
Tick tick tick, synchronizing
Readjusting, organizing me
Is this fiction reality?
Bless the uncompromising
With no shame for advertising
When my needs go through downsizing
I need someone to pick up my beat
My dreams need realizing, candles on sugar icing
Judgment and harmonizing
Or it'll end up like before
Don't, don't, don't mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don't, don't, don't say you care
Cos I could never shake it
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
Don't, don't, don't mess with me

Signs of Life
More than you know it, i'm aware Of this connection that we share Yeah I know it seems like sometimes I don't care But you are the colours that I wear It's been a few hours, nearly dawn You've been real quiet all along Now I cannot help but think there's something wrong Hey baby what's going on? 3 AM we seemed alright Couldn't be better, couldn't be better On our way into the light Now 3 AM is...

Silly thoughts of small deeds Everything that once answered to your needs The thoughtless but kind The caring but blind Everything fades away Everything fades away, come turning of the tide For your love I'm sorry For your pain, don't worry Everything fades away Everything fades away Silhouettes, false leads That which drew you, like a crow to glass beads Secrets spied Wishes sighed Everything...
Look in my eyes I'll make you see We're drifting aimlessly Blind in a world of make believe Hear them sing their songs off key N' nod like they agree Buying the need to be discreet I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all What's going on fails to concern me, Cos I'm locked behind my wall But you know what drives me out Out of my mind It's whatever makes you see, makes you beli...
In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies Lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by And we keep driving into the night It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye And we keep driving into the night It's a late goodbye Your breath hot upon my cheeck, and we crossed, that line You made me strong when ...
Times when I just can't Bring myself to say it loud 'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry That is when it seems We move in circles day to day Twist the drama of the play to get us by And it feels like fear Like I'll disappear Gets so hard to steer Yet I go on Do we need debate When it seems too late Like I bleed but wait Like nothing's wrong You lift my spirit, take me higher, make ...
I see you crying and it rains Washing away the bad days Washing away the pain loss brings yeah And then you smile though it aches Cos you don't believe in mistakes Just that we made a mess of things When the deal that you made with love is now a one way street A one way street And you'll feel you'll go overboard Cos you're incomplete, incomplete You're not afraid to rely On any way you can try...
Never said you'd promise anything Never told to trust you blindly Never thought you'd hurt me either Never had a chance Now ain't that so Never should've wept When you let go Never thought You'd push me away Sad as it may be I'm glad it's over finally Speaks volumes of me When letting go is never easy So I'll seek you out Just to find myself And I'll worry 'bout consequences later I hear you o...
More in my face than is my taste I grow so weary I'll surrender to what they say Let them lead the way Till' I can no longer remember my darling dreams Prewritten scenes, whatever felt my own So to save face I'll take my place Where I may safely feel alone Glad the waters are so shallow When the river runs so cold Glad the waters are so shallow When the river runs cold Glad the waters are so s...
Hear your heartbeat Beat a frantic pace And it's not even seven AM You're feeling the rush of anguish settling You cannot help showing them in Hurry up then Or you'll fall behind and They will take control of you And you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes Fickle words crowding your mind So Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within Sleep, sweetie, l...
I wake up to the sound of rain upon my sill Pick up the pieces of my yesterday old thrill Can I deliver this used up shiver To how I pronounce my life And I leave it up to faith to go by its own will Back row to the left, a little to the side Slightly out of the place Look beyond the light, where you'd least expect There's someone special A foggy morning greets me quietly today I smell a fragr...
Morning comes slow today Memories push through from yesterday Where will I be tomorrow What do I have to show From my life Stay I need you here for a new day to break Stay I want you near like a shadow in my wake Flow with life down the drain Memories and force of will sustain Where will I be tomorrow What will be left to show From my life Stay I need you here for a new day to break Stay I wan...
