  The Hurting
  Mad World
  Pale Shelter
  Ideas As Opiates
  Memories Fade
  Suffer The Children
  Watch Me Bleed
  Change
  The Prisoner
  Start Of The Breakdown
  
  
Is it an horrific dream
  Am I sinking fast
  Could a person be so mean
  As to laugh and laugh
  On my own
  Could you ease my load
  Could you see my Pain
  Could you please explain
  The Hurting
    
    Could you understand a child
  When he cries in Pain
  Could you give him all he needs
  Or do you feel the same
  All along
  You've been told you're wrong
  When you felt it right
  And you're left to fight
  The Hurting
    
    Get in line with the things you know
  Feel the pain
  Feel the sorrow
  Touch the hurt and don't let go
  Get in line with the things you know
  Learn to cry
  Like a baby
  Then the hurting won't come back
All around me are familiar faces
  Worn out places, worn out faces
  Bright and early for their daily races
  Going nowehere, going nowhere
  And their rears are filling up their glasses
  No expression, no expression
  Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
  No tomorrow, no tomorrow
    
    And I find it kind of funny
  I find it kind of sad
  The dream in which I'm dying
  Are the best I've ever had
  I find it hard to tell you
  'Cos I find it hard to take
  When people run in circles
  It's a very very
  Mad World
    
    Children waiting for the day they feel good
  Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
  Made to feel the way that every child should
  Sit and listen, sit and listen
  Went to school and I was very nervous
  No one knew me, no one knew me
  Hello tacher tell me what's my lesson
  Look right through me, look right through me
How can I be sure?
  When your intrusion is my illusion
  How can I be sure
  When all the time you changed my mind
  I asked for more and more
  How can I be sure
    
    When you don't give me love
  You gave me Pale Shelter
  You don't give me love
  You give me cold hands
  And I can't operate on this failure
  When all I want to be is
  Completely in command
    
    How can I be sure
  For all you say you keep me waiting
  How can I be sure
  When all you do is see me through
  I asked for more and more
  How can I be sure
    
    I've been here before
  There is not why, no need to try
  I thought you had it all
  I'm calling you, I'm calling you
  I ask for more and more
  How can I be sure
Say what you want
  Say what you will
  'Cos I find you think what makes it easier
    
    And lies spread on lies.
  We don't care
  Belief is out relief
  We don't care
There's only need
  I love your need
  So much I'm losing me
  I cannot see the reason for the Pain
  With hungry joy
  I'll be your toy
  Just hoping you will play
  Without hope my body starts to fail
    
    Memories fade but the scars still linger
  Goodbye my friend
  Will I ever love again
  Memories fade but the scars still linger
  
    I cannot grow
  I cannot move
  I connot feel my age
  The vice like grip of tension holds me fast
  Engulfed by uoi
  What can I do
  When History's my cage
  Look forward to a future in the past
    
    The more I talk
  The more I say
  The less you seem to hear
  I'm speechless in a most peculiar way
  You mind it weak
  You need is great
  And nothing is too dear
  For you to use to take the Pain away
  Memories fade
  No don't pretend you can justify the end
  Memories fade but the scars still linger
It's a sad affair
  When there's no one there
  He calls out in the night
  And it's so unfair
  At least it seems that way
  When you gave him his life
  
    And all this time he's been getting you down
  You ought to pick him up when there's no one
  around
  And convince him
  Just talk to him
  'Cos he knows in his heart you won't be home
  soon
  He's an only child in an only room
  And he's dependant on you
    
    And it seems so strange
  That at the end of the day
  Making love can be so good
  But the Pain of birth
  What is it worth
  When it don't turn out the way it should
Heaven comes to he who waits
  But I know I'm getting nowhere
  And all the deeds of yesterday
  Have really helped to pave my way
  Though there's no one near me now
  How come everyone can touch me
  You see the tortule on my brow
  Relates to neither here nor now
    
    Watch me bleed
  Bleed forever
  Although my face is straight, it lies
  My body feels the Pain and cries
    
    Here the table is not bare
  I am full but feeling empty
  For all the warmth it feels so cold
  For one so young I feel so old
    
    Watch me bleed
  Bleed forever
  It's not allowed to be unkind
  But still the hate lives in my mind
    
    I'll make no noise
  I'll hide my Pain
  I'll close my eyes
  I won't complain
  I'll lie right back and take the blame
  And try to tell myself I'm living
  And when it's all been said or done
  Where do I go?
  Where do I run?
  What's left for me or anyone when we're denied
  The hurting?
You walked in to the room
  I just had to laugh
  The face you wore was cool
  You were a photograph
  When it's all too late
  It's all too late
    
    I did not have the time
  I did not have the nerve
  To ask you how you feel
  Is this what you deserve
  When it's all too late
  It's all too late
  
    Change
  You can change
  And something on your mind
  Became a point of view
  You lost your honesty
  I lost the life in you
  When it's all too late
  It's all too late
  We walk and talk in time
  I walk and talk in two
  Where does the end of me
  become the start of you
  When it's all too late
  It's all too late
    
    What has happened to
  The friend that I once knew
  Has he gone away
Here behind the wall
  I feel so small
  Breathing but not perceiving
  Here anger is me
  Love sets me free
  Feeling and not believing
    
    Here in my mind
  Biding my time
  Waiting but not relating
  Here anger is me
  Love sets me free
  The Prisonar is now escaping
Scratch the ice
  Let the telephone ring
  Sense of time is a powerful thing
  And we love to laugh
  Love to cry
  Half alive
  We love to
  Go slow when we're dancing for rain
  Dry skin flakes where there's ice in the vein
  And we love to cry
  Half alive
    
    Is this the start of the breakdown?
    
    Scratch the earth
  Dig the burial ground
  Sense of time won't be easily found
  And ten out of ten
  For the ones who defend
  Pretend too
  Breakdown is a final demand
  (We stand firm with our head in our hands)
  As we love to cry
  Half alive
    
    Is this the start of the breakdown?
  I can't understand you
  Is this the start of the breakdown?
