I'm not a player
I'm just a stupid bloke on booze
And tomorrow i'll feel a lot more confused
About these actions and these words spoken with you
'Cause i'm a lost cause and not sure what to do
So call a taxi, girl
Before i get touchy feely, not in a sleazy way!
It's just your affection I crave
I feel ashamed at my dependance on you
And ashamed at my alternate view
You see it's easy to try pull your friend instead of you
Because rejection is easy when it's not from you

Flake

A winter in the park 

I left quietly, didn't want anyone to know i was meeting her after dark

It all started as just a laugh

But then pretty soon became an integral part of my heart

She said 'I warmed you before, I can warm your heart again'

No courage to face my eyes she used an electronic pen

But it's too late i'm out now

Being clown for the crowd loud

I'd die happy sharing my feelings but way too proud

So have we not been this place before?

Truth is i'm not too sure 'cause we're both way too quick to head for the door 

I dont know what happened before - i get my cronology confused & every attempt to make sense your ego gets bruised 

Only ever tried to make amends 

But these days you only ever speak to me when youre in between boyfriends

Which results in all those messages i dont send

So i keep my mind busy on the weekends

Go for a surf or just chat shit w/ my friends 

Until another avoided day comes to an end

The hurt tries to resurface but nowadays it justs blends in

To the day to day i hope that one day i could somehow feel again 

And be connected to... to a not so distant mind set

See i bet you can stop your heart fluttering

I bet you tell your fella you're not suffering

I bet you couldnt share with an empty room where you mothers been

And i bet i could tell you to fuck off nowadays without stuttering

So tell me where's all this love been hiding?

And what's all this emotion keeping us crying?

I should've said goodbye

should've done so years ago 

but still to this day you're my only hero!

So from a superman to a zero, i know thats my doing

But constantly pursuing... A death to my kingdom 

So death to my kingdom

May the palace be empty and a deep burn for anyone who loves me

...

So wake up!

All i'm good for is entertainment

And deluding myself thinking that the day would come

5am skyping anyone who will have me 

As so far sleep's done absolutely nothing for me

So you're bored of me? still adore me!

And anything about me, 

Words, pictures, captured motion, act like you cant live without me

It seems how i justify my life is the extent of your interest

Until oneday this warrior will gracefully end the conquest

And possibly lay this heart to rest and ease his burning flesh

Stop denying this life may be a mess

A challenge i confess, with documented steps, anything more is just simply no of your business
