Character Bleed
I am more than one person today Not sure who, but anyway We can be someone else for today I'll care about you anyway But saying that, not all of us in this body Really understand what care is Saying that, my characters bleed All over where my script is Are you more than one person today? Never sure who anyway We'll just be others for today And in saying that, I can admit I have a fractional personality Saying that, my characters bleed All over what's meant to be me I was someone else yesterday I'll pretense as an actor anyway I can't be who you want me to play Even if you didn't care anyway But saying this, my heart skips a beat Because one of us has died Saying that, my characters bleed But I didn't know they cried.

Disclosure
[I think it's pretty obvious what this song is about] In a bedroom not so far away from here In a hotel cheaper than him Laying in the bed I'd made my choice in Well it wasn't really a choice to let you in The first breath you never took Far away, you're far away I never got to look Upon your sweet face You took me by storm, then you Made my body different, and you Made your presence known You swelled the sails of passing ships, like Leaves falling in the rain Full of what you can't know The first breath you never took Far away, you're far away I never got to look Upon your sweet face I didn't plan to know him But I wanted to know you I didn't plan to need him But I knew I needed you I didn't plan to love him But I always loved you In a ward room not so far away from here In a hospital cheaper than me Laying in the bed I lost you in Your life apparently wasn't meant to be The first breath you never took Far away, far away I never got to look Upon your sweet face.

Sirens in a Minefield
[this song is based on the BBC television series In the Flesh, yes it's totally nerdy but I'm proud of it] Four years before I met you We rose up, rose too far And would you rise again? You've got to I won't let you fall And I can't hate you But I can hate your opinions You'd kill me The lying sheep led by a lying shepherd You're incredible I'm sorry, I'm sorry I balanced all, listened to a prophet I know the truth But then there's you Extremist Terrorist What are you, and why do I have to love you? We're not superior I didn't wanna go beyond We're not superior But you are You're incredible I'm sorry, I'm sorry I balanced all, listened to a prophet I know the truth But then there's you Unbelievable I'm sorry, I'm sorry Maybe you trusted me, I disappeared I knew what to do But then there's you The lying shepherd Breeds and leads his lying sheep, oh His Dying I wanna warm up But I don't wanna wake up Oh, you're incredible I'm sorry, I'm sorry I balanced all, you took over I could warm up Only for you This is incredible I balanced all, and then there's you.
