Restrictive's blog: "Music That Touches Me"

You have to learn to pace yourself Pressure You're just like everybody else Pressure You've only had to run so far So good But you will come to a place Where the only thing you feel Are loaded guns in your face And you'll have to deal with Pressure You used to call me paranoid Pressure But even you can not avoid Pressure You turned the tap dance into your crusade Now here you are with your faith And your Peter Pan advice You have no scars on your face And you cannot handle pressure All grown up and no place to go Psych 1, Psych 2 What do you know? All your life is Channel 13 Sesame Street What does it mean? Pressure Pressure Don't ask for help You're all alone Pressure You'll have to answer To your own Pressure I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale But here you are in the ninth Two men out and three men on Nowhere to look but inside Where we all respond to Pressure Pressure All your life is Time Magazine I read it too What does it mean? Pressure I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale But here you are with your faith And your Peter Pan advice You have no scars on your face And you cannot handle pressure Pressure, pressure One, two, three, four Pressure

Everybody needs a little time away I heard her say >From each other Even lovers need a holiday Far away >From each other Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to stay After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just the part of me I can't let go Couldn't stand to be kept away Just for the day >From your body Wouldn't wanna be swept away Far away >From the one that I love Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to know Hold me now I really want to tell you I'm sorry I could never let you go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just the part of me I can't let go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to You're gonna be the lucky one

Well, you called me up this morning Told me 'bout the new love you found Said, "I'm happy for you. I'm really happy for you." Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round I guess it's over, baby It's really over, baby, woooh And from what you're saying I know you've gotten over me It'll never be the way it used to be So if it's gotta be this way Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay But if you see me walking by, And the tears are in my eyes, Look away, baby, look away. If we meet on the street some day, And I don't know what to say, Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me I don't want you to see me this way. When we both agreed as lovers We were better off as friends That's how it had to be Yeah, that's how it had to be I tell you I'm fine, But sometimes I just pretend Wish you were holding me, Wish you were still holding me, oooh I just never thought That I would be replaced so soon I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you I know I wanted to be free Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be But if you see me walking by, And the tears are in my eyes, Look away, baby, look away. And if we meet on the street some day, And I don't know what to say, Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me I don't want you to see me this way. If you see me walking by, And the tears are in my eyes, Look away, baby, look away. And if we meet on the street some day, And I don't know what to say, Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me I don't want you to see me this way. If you see me walking by, And the tears are in my eyes, Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me I don't want you to see me... Well, you called me up this morning Told me 'bout the new love you found I said, "I'm happy for you. I'm really happy for you."

I think you can do much better than me After all the lies that I made you believe Guilt kicks in and I start to see The edge of the bed Where your nightgown used to be I told myself I won't miss you But I remember What it feels like beside you I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me While looking through your old box of notes I found those pictures I took That you were looking for If there's one memory I don't want to lose That time at the mall You and me in the dressing room I told myself I won't miss you But I remember What it feels like beside you I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me The bed I'm lying in is getting colder Wish I never would've said it's over And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older Cause we never really had our closure This can't be the end I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me I really miss your hair in my face And the way your innocence tastes And I think you should know this You deserve much better than me (And I think you should know this) (You deserve much better than me)

There's a shadow just behind me shrouding every step I take making every promise empty pointing every finger at me. Waiting like a stalking butler who upon the finger rests. Murder now the path called "must we" just because the son has come. Jesus won't you fucking whistle something but the past and done? Jesus won't you fucking whistle something but the past and done? Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we drink forever. I just want to start things over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down. Mother Mary won't you whisper something but what's past and done. Mother Mary won't you whisper something but what's past and done. Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we drink forever. I just want to start things over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. Trudt me. Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over. Why can't we drink forever. I just want to start things over. I want what I want.

Another dream that will never come true Just to compliment your sorrow Another life that I've taken from you A gift to add on to your pain and suffering Another truth you can never believe Has crippled you completely All the cries you're beginning to hear Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening Let me enlighten you This is the way I pray [Chorus] Living just isn't hard enough Burn me alive, inside Living my life's not hard enough Take everything away Another nightmare about to come true Will manifest tomorrow Another love that I've taken from you Lost in time, on the edge of suffering Another taste of the evil I breed Will level you completely Bring to life everything that you fear Live in the dark, and the world is threatening Let me enlighten you This is the way i pray [chorus] Return to me Leave me no one Turn to me Return to me Cast aside You've made me turn away [chorus]

I won't let you down I will not give you up Gotta have some faith in the sound It's the one good thing that I've got I won't let you down So please don't give me up Because I would really, really love to stick around Heaven knows I was just a young boy Didn't know what I wanted to be I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy And I guess it was enough for me To win the race? A prettier face! Brand new clothes and a big fat place On your rock and roll TV But today the way I play the game is not the same No way Think I'm gonna get me some happy I think there's something you should know I think it's time I told you so There's something deep inside of me There's someone else I've got to be Take back your picture in a frame Take back your singing in the rain I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man All we have to do now Is take these lies and make them true somehow All we have to see Is that I don't belong to you And you don't belong to me Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy What a kick just a buddy and me We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy We were living in a fantasy We won the race Got out of the place I went back home got a brand new face For the boys on MTV But today the way I play the game has got to change Oh yeah Now I'm gonna get myself happy I think there's something you should know I think it's time I stopped the show There's something deep inside of me There's someone I forgot to be Take back your picture in a frame Don't think that I'll be back again I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man All we have to do now Is take these lies and make them true somehow All we have to see Is that I don't belong to you And you don't belong to me Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Well it looks like the road to heaven But it feels like the road to hell When I knew which side my bread was buttered I took the knife as well Posing for another picture Everybody's got to sell But when you shake your ass They notice fast And some mistakes were built to last That's what you get I say that's what you get That's what you get for changing your mind And after all this time I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes Do not make the man I'll hold on to my freedom May not be what you want from me Just the way it's got to be Lose the face now I've got to live

Oh baby I’m aware Of where you go Each time you leave my door Watching you walking down the street Knowing there’s another guy you meet This time before you run to him Leaving me alone again Think it over Haven’t I been good to you babe Think it over Stop in the name of love Before you break my heart Stop in the name of love Before you tear it apart I’m trying hard Hard to be patient Wish you’d stop This infatuation But each time I think of you together I see myself losing you forever This time before you leave my heart And rush back into his arms Verse 2 Haven’t I been sweet to you baby Chorus x3

There's a time and place for everything For everyone We can push with all our might But nothin's gonna come Oh no, nothin's gonna change And if I asked you not to try Oh could you let be I wanna hold you and say We can throw this all away Tell me you won't go, you won't go do you have to hear me say I can't stop lovin' you And no matter what you say or do You know my heart is true oh I can't stop lovin' you You can change your friends Your place in life You can change your mind We can change the things we say And do anytime oh no, but I think you'll find that when you look inside your heart oh baby, I'll be there Hold on I'm holding on Baby, just come on, come on, come on I just wanna hear you say I can't stop lovin' you And no matter what you say or do You know my heart is true oh I can't stop lovin' you Oh, I'm so twisted and tied And all I remember Was how hard we tried Only to surrender (Solo) And when it's over I know how it's gonna be True love will never die No, not fade away I can't stop lovin' you And no matter what you say or do You know my heart is true oh I can't stop lovin' you And I know what I got to do Hey ray, what you said is true I can't stop lovin' you, oh Oh, I can't stop lovin' you
