Contempt

I'm trying to wash the taste away

I'm trying to wash the taste away

Trying not to cry the night away

Trying not to cry the night away

I'm finding a bitter word to say

And i'm finding it easier every day



Contempt

Every day it fills me

Contempt

Every day it kills me

Contempt

Every tear that blinds me

Contempt

Building up inside me



One kiss and the poison melts away

One smile and the poison melts away

I'm trying not to cry the nights away

I'm trying not to cry the nights away

I'm finding a bitter word to say

And i'm finding it easier every day



Contempt

Every day it fills me

Contempt

Every day it kills me

Contempt

Every tear that blinds me

Contempt

Building up inside me



You came crawling out the woodwork

Like some ghost from my past

With stories 'bout me

That i'd long since forgot

Telling me tales of how big you are now

But i know you as nothing

As nothing you got

You'd split me wide open

And spill all my beans

Because you think

That i still think

Something of you

You'd run away with everything

That i have

Take all my soul, sense and dignity too



Loving is the saddest game to play

Loving is the saddest game to play

I'm trying not to cry the nights away

I'm trying not to cry the nights away

I'm finding a bitter word to say

And i'm finding it easier every day



Contempt

Every day it fills me

Contempt

Every day it kills me

Contempt

Every tear that blinds me

Contempt

Building up inside me
