The Canvas Kids - Phases Lyrics

Speaking in tongues, heat of the moment
Your breath is my breath, lost and you know it, in these
Doorways and mazes, in these
Mirrors and spaces, and I'm
Loving the feel, but forgot what the taste is
Back to back, gazing up at the stars
And I'm not much of a lover, but I'm playing the part
Feel the heat waves as the game changes
These shivers start but we don't need blankets

Different phases
But I'm not your cause
Different faces
Try to hide your flaws

Leaving messages on broke machines, and I'm
Wanting the stage but it's not my scene, all these
Words of emotion, all this
Fake love devotion, now I'm
Stuck in the storm, but now I drown in the ocean, in this
Ruinous wreckage, silhouetted and pretty
I emerge from the rubble, streetlight from the city, all these
Words of abusing, all this mental confusion, and you
Throw me away when you're not busy using

Different phases
But I'm not your cause
Different faces
You try to hide your flaws

Yeah we go back and forth like ping pong paddles, and you
Knock me off my high horse, get back in the saddle, and I battle
Cuz I can't believe these words from your mouth
Yeah, you don't mean that, don't say that this is heading south
This wasn't real? Then what was?
I'm doing more reflection in my bedroom than a mirror does
Call me when it's over
You're such a little soldier with your cold shoulder
Yeah you're bolder than the headlines
This is my heart, there's a person getting hurt inside
Grabbing your suitcase? (wow what utter faith)
Trust me zero, were my hero, say it to my face
You're handing out hard knocks
And now you tune me out
Don't make me get up in your business, make me start to shout
Can't you hear me?
I swear that I still need you!
Face to face and nose to nose, I swear that I would bleed for you
So protest all you want, girl, say that this was nothing
But you can't hide those nights that you know you felt something

What does it matter?
The fact is I'm alone
And since you left
This house don't feel like home
