The Birthday Massacre Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Holiday

Lyricist:Michael Rainbow, Sara Taylor

It's getting late, it all just wanes and pales
And fades away if we just want
It too much and what a shame if all
There is, is all that's gone away

There's nothing left here for us
Dead light holiday killing time to make
Us stay hollow as the promises of yesterday
On and on the music

Plays memories in paraphrase
Falling past my window
Like the morning rain
It's all the same

So many words remaining always
Too late, it never seems worth taking
And all the days and all the nights lost sleeping
And in the end the secrets not worth keeping


2.Movie

Lyricist:Michael Hanmer, Matthew James O'halloran, Michael Rainbow

Face them, the time will erase them
Stop trying to chase them
I've taken my place and it's not worth the tears

I waited so long for this love
As another was slipping away
I waited so long for this moment
As the others were wasted

Cast a shade to save your eyes
Take this time to turn and say goodbye

Frozen, the words go unspoken
New victims are chosen
My heart will be broken but so will my fear

I waited so long for this love
As another was slipping away
I waited so long for this moment
As the others were wasted

Cast a shade to save your eyes
Take this time to turn and say goodbye


3.Science

Lyricist:Michael Hanmer, Michael Rainbow

Make you up, take you out
Play it up to bring you down
Take the time to make this last

Spin the wheel, watch it crash
Turn the dress to broken glass
Strike a pose and hold the flash

I'm not the only one who's bleeding
Before the past is done repeating
Gets underneath my skin, it won't die
This time if I can't win

Then I won't try to carry on
I'll play it satirical
Tonight won't be so long
I'll pray for a miracle

Wake you up, pull you out
Talk you up to calm you down
Turn it up and scream and shout

Make you tired, wear you out
Shut you up and turn you off
Clean you up and take you home

I'm not the only one who's bleeding
Before the past is done repeating
Gets underneath my skin, it won't die
This time if I can't win

Then I won't try to carry on
I'll play it satirical
Tonight won't be so long
I'll pray for a miracle


4.Nevermind

Lyricist:James Furlong, Michael John Hanmer, Michael Rainbow, Sara
Taylor

Five glasses changed my mind
Seems like the ticking hands are taking their time
I guess I've been at home for longer than it takes to unwind
So slap me if I step out of line

Now in smaller spaces, careless lust intoxicated
Away from prying eyes and rabid smiles
And everything's shattering
My invitation was involuntary dilation
And now I can't recall your name

I think we've met before
It was last Christmas on our parents' accord
You were the young man in the costume that was hard to ignore
And I was feeling hopelessly bored

Now you're conversation's, scholarships and occupations
You look so different than before
When, never mind
Anyway, this reckless violation tarnishing my reputation
Has left me nothing kind to say


5.Play Dead

Lyricist:Michael Hanmer, Michael Rainbow, Sara Taylor

And boys are so cold
They speak without meaning
The only time they talk is in their sleep

And girls are a bore
Their touch without feeling
Their secret's always far too grim to keep

And up until now
You've lived in their shadows
Trying hard to please them

But they'll never change
As long as they're breathing

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide the scars of time

And boys are so cruel
So don't let them find you tonight
And girls are so vain
So put them behind you tonight

I'll cast you a spell
A magic where everyone plays dead forever
And after tonight they'll never remind you

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide the scars of time

Thinking hurts and thoughts don't rhyme
To those of us who've never tried
To find a face behind our lipstick smiles

And as our pretty faces die
Our broken hearts will wonder why
The make-up just won't hide the scars of time


6.I Think We're Alone Now

Lyricist:Ritchie Cordell

Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand and so we're

Running just as fast as we can
Holding onto one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then I put my arms around you
And you tumble to the ground
And then I say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of your heart is the only sound

Look at the way
I gotta hide what I'm doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we're

Running just as fast as we can
Holding onto one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then I put my arms around you
And you tumble to the ground
And then I say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of your heart is the only sound

I think we're alone now
(Alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
(Alone now)
The beating of your heart is the only sound

Running just as fast as we can
Holding onto one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then I put my arms around you
And you tumble to the ground
And then I say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of your heart is the only sound

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of your heart is the only sound

I think we're alone now
(Alone now)
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
(Alone now)
The beating of your heart is the only sound
