WHY BLISS DESTROY EP

01 Hangover

It seems we don't wanna wake up
So we'll just have to take up the fight
The radio is silent, the television's violent
The radio is silent
And Kennedy, who killed him, is freedom now with him?
His spirit is living in all of us…we trust you, we love you!
There's a ticker tape parade for us
They'll line the streets and pray to us
The heroes homecoming
It's hell before us all, I pray you'll break my fall
I never wanted this, I never wanted this
The black between the void, all fucked and paranoid
I never wanted this, I never wanted this
We're standing in the line of fire

02 Virginia

Come out Virginia walk the lost highway
The road of the sinner to the rocks where we lay
When I was almost damned you helped me understand
Come out Virginia you're the last of a kind
A smile so forgiving, a touch so refined
When I was almost close you withered like a rose
No time for doubt, you're comin' out, I'm comin' in
Under your skin and you'll know now what you knew then
It never ends

03 Love In The Guise Of Friendship (R. Burns)

Talk not of love it gives me pain
For love has been my foe
He bound me in an iron chain
And plunged me deep in woe
But friendship's pure and lasting joys
My heart was formed to prove
There welcome, win and wear the prize
But never talk of love
Your friendship much can make me blest
Oh why that bliss destroy
Why urge the only one request you know I will deny
Your thought if love must harbour there
Conceal it in that thought
Nor cause it in that thought
Nor cause me from my bosom tear
The very friend I sought

04 Capable of More

I swear to God I lay awake last night
Six straight hours thinking of you
Turning, tumbling, spirallin' up, spirallin' up
I'll mend what was broken then break just the same
Bliss can be fleeting but timeless is pain
Hope just to see you, hope just to see you…again
I'm in love with the thought, (I'm ready to fall)
I'm not here for you, I'm not sure I'm even here at all
Every word you breathe sends me skyward and sore
Every time you fall I end up between the ground and you
Bruised but sometimes I end up with
Something worth regretting, something worth regretting
I'll never sleep again for you so I'll ask you to leave
Can't sleep, too many thoughts, you're right, I'm wrong
Too exhausted to fight you on this
Do what you feel is right, I hate it
Getting' close and burned is what I do best
Anyway, one more is ok
I've nothing to do but cope with the loss
(In love again)
