Our last song

"The Last Song I'm Wasting On You"

Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.

And I know,
I know I'll have to watch them pass away
Just get through this day

Give up your way, you could be anything,
Give up my way, and lose myself,
not today
That's too much guilt to pay

Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die

Honey you know,
you know
I'd never hurt you that way

You're just so pretty in your pain

Give up my way,
and I could be anything
I'll make my own way

Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.

So run, run, runAnd hate me,
if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore
You lied to me

But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby
Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out

And you'll never hurt me again.

Cat n Mouse

Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight,
I said I'd never leave,
you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted,
it comes with a price.

Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted,
it comes with a price.

You said,
you said that you would die for me...
We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse,
Are we the same people as before this came to light?

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted,
it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.

You said,
you said that you would die for me...
You must live for me too'...
For me too...

You said that you would die for me...
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted,
it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted,
it comes with a price

You said, you said that you would die for me...
You said that you would die for me
You said that you would die for me
You said that you would die for me

Clumsy on the Wall

Alexandra Slate- Clumsy on the Wall

Play your records on my tv set
wrote me letters on the phone
well I drank a thousand miles of highway
just have you fly me home

and I don't mind being this way
so I stay clumsy on the wall
I thought a million words I could say
but I knew you'd heard them all

and I know that you're using my time
sittin back in your good life
I'd rather not
but I'm
loosing my mind
and I
cant get out

I wont forgive myself for this one
I could've grabbed a little less
I waited patient for an hour
just to let my heart
rest

and I don't mind being this way
so I stay clumsy on the wall

and I know that you're using my time
sittin back in your good life
I'd rather not
but I'm
loosing my mind
and I
cant get out

and I know that you're using my time
sittin back in your good life
I'd rather not
but I'm
loosing my mind
and I know that you're using my time
sittin back in your good life
I'd rather not
but I'm
loosing my mind
and I
can't get out

Alexandra Slate

A little known artist named Alexandra slate... If you look her up most places only have the lyrics to one or maybe two of her songs. She's most known for a song she had on the Tomb Raider soundtrack called Bad Girl. That's where I fell in love with her voice, after much searching I found a copy of the only CD she's ever produced called Edge of a Girl, but there are so many of her songs that hit you right in the soft spot like this one called "Blinding the Universe" , I found her on Amazon.com, def worth looking up.

Blinding the Universe

What about her
What about his life
How bout every last one of the hurt
What would I say

You have let me down
I can't help but blame you for this ...curse
drowning in your world

you are
blinding the universe
and I still can't see
when you're
blinding the universe

Let me think through...this
let me have some time to myself
well it could be so damn easy without you
yet I can't seem to find someone else

You have let me down
I can't help but blame you for this ...curse
drowning in your world

you are
blinding the universe
and I still can't see
when you're
blinding the universe

You have let me down
I can't help but blame you for this ...curse
drowning in your world

you are
blinding the universe
and I still can't see
when you're
blinding the universe

Die Awake

When all of your walls
Fall to the ground
And the prettiest one
Makes its way around

Well don’t make a fool of yourself
Don’t be afraid to try something else
Cuz I saw it coming
You should’ve known

And I hope
That the madness stays
And I hope
That I die awake

Facing the need that I’m bound to
Stand on the feet that I want to
Facing the need that I’m bound to

Well taste a memory
Breath on my face
Sinking in honey
Holding your place

Well don’t make a fool of yourself
Don’t be afraid to try something else
Cuz I saw it coming
You should’ve known

And I hope that I die awake
Facing the need that I’m bound to
Stand on the feet that I want to
Facing the need that I’m bound to

And I hope
That I die awake

Well don’t make a fool of yourself
Don’t be afraid to try something else

And I hope that I die awake
And I hope that I die awake
Facing the need that I’m bound to
Stand on the feet that I want to
Facing the need that I’m bound to
Holding the greed that surrounds you

Bad Girl by Alexandra Slate

So I picked one up the other day
does that mean I'm a bad girl?
And if i take of all my clothes?
Well that makes me a bad girl

What if life itself goes to shit?
now that i've been pushed around
Well tell me something I don't know
'cause I've held off way too long now

And its not the way you hold me,
hold me responsible
I'm not who you think I am
Have I fooled the whole world?
Nobody knows
I'm a very,
very bad girl
(yeah i'm a bad girl)

So I wrote this song for sanity
and it tells me I'm naive
but if she heard this melody
she'd see me off with ease

And it's not the way you hold me
hold me responsible
I'm not who you think I am
Have I fooled the whole world?
Nobody knows (no oh) nobody knows
I'm a very, very bad girl(Oh I'm a bad girl)

And its not the way you hold me,
hold me responsible
I'm not who you think I am
Have I fooled the whole world?
Nobody knows, (no oh) nobody knows
Well theres no point in you believing,
I'm a saint when I'm deceiving
everybody thinks I'm someone else

I'm a very, very bad girl
Oh I'm a bad girl
I'm a bad girl
I'm a very, very bad girl.....

The Best of You

I really like this song, It tells a lot of how we can understand a persons view and also be bitter at the same time for the choices they make. While the emotions may conflict they coexist in what ends up being a chaos of abstract harmonies......

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you
Were you born to resist, or be abused?

Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Or are you gone and onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use

I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I'll break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose

I swear I'll never give in
I refuse
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You'd die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must confess

Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist, or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in, I refuse
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must confess
Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?
