Verse They're designed for your despair Double down till you don't care better make yourself aware There's a prison around you Better give it up, what you want to compare? There's a battle to be won and a story to out-run you're not the only one in a pit and a foundry better dig it up, what you gotta repair Chorus 1 Well good luck singing about it There was never a covenant to be fair Ya can't stop singing about it t-taking the struggle to get up Verse There is a trap in everyone It's a lot like having fun Where you don't know what you've done Till it withers around you Better suck it up, but you've gotta be there Acquiring so much love You don't think you're worthy of You can never get enough It's a flexible boundary You should cover up, till you're ready to care Chorus 1 Breakdown Yeah get fired up this time to do it Don't you try putting me here Get fired up this time should do it you're so blind thinking it’s fair Get lined up it's time ya knew it Get lined up you can disappear Chorus 2 Ya can't stop singing about it You say you wanna break it down It's Messed up singing about it Don't tell me you wanted to share Well good luck singing about it There was never a covenant to be fair Ya can't stop singing about it t-taking struggle to get up

Haircut 04:16

I just had to call you up and say I like your haircut (He says)“Hey man, those yoga pants are holding you back so what's the plan?” But you're on my mind and I don't have time to consider that So I just smile and play it cool (he does have a point though) (He says)“Hey man it’s plain to see you're out of your depth” I say “I am” But I'm more concerned if it's not too early to call you yet see I don't wanna break your rules but you can't make an omelette by being cool Chorus I could try a megaphone or use my fingers as phone to make a rendezvous Why should I apply convention cause it’s our game to play and I just had to call to say that I like you yes I like you you and your haircut (I said) Hey ma'am that crystal ball'll do you no good I'm such a fan, I've got lots to tell and it’s hard to tell if it's understood I'm not so subtle with my clues being keen's not a thing you can overdo Chorus I could try a megaphone or use my fingers as phone to make a rendezvous Why should I apply convention cause it’s our game to play and I just had to call to say that I like you yes I like you you and your... Breakdown Like your quiet air and your LBD And the way you're never blocking my call ID And I scare me now cause I'm OTT I'm sorry for my joke about vitamin “D” and the words all come and I'm all at sea I think I'll try and float an insanity plea You can stop me dead with that quiet stare and I've no hope now since you cut your hair Chorus I know it would be best if I could learn to keep my mouth shut But I just had to call you up and say I like your haircut

Wounds 03:46
lyrics

Don't try to know me its easy to assume It's been so long but you're still poking at my wounds I still go back to the time we spent apart I moved a mountain to tear you from my heart 'n that's a hell of a place to start My lacerations they seem to be improved I've grown so strong but you'll find something to reprove Not how you left me a flinching counter part We're in glass houses Chorus But don't you think its time to find that solitary part and put ourselves aside to catch a moment from the past Remember that we were just open we were open stop provoking now I'm finding out the things that I forgot about you I'd love to show you the lessons I have learned If we let go appreciation can return I try rock paper scissors and you just pour on glue I'm sure its over Chorus

Make It Stronger 04:01
lyrics

Well if you became an island fit for no man to explore I'd be scuppered on your reef and wash up happy on your shore And I know you find your state of mind is tricky to ignore But this lonely isolation isn't working any more You could televise your ransom, or cut that cord To sympathise don't get things rolling any faster Towards your happiness, been here before... All the fighting talk and broken locks distract you from the score You can leave behind your peace of mind, forgetting what it's for There's a slick design to story time that's slipping through your door It’s a nursery rhyme to waste your time and make you beg for more Desensitise your charity or feel it all Affinity will get you there but there's no help at all “Discover me a heart, recover me the confidence to tell myself apart in time before we've gone too far” We need to be apart, I need to feel the consequence Don't hold it up just burn it down and let me start alone I've not been here before instrumental interlude Desensitise your charity or feel it all Affinity will get you there but there's no help at all “Discover me a heart, recover me the confidence to tell myself apart in time before we've gone too far” I need to fall apart I need to reach the heart of who I've always been Not a weakened boy, devoted son, bowing down to anyone Don't hold me up, I won't be long Just burn it down and make it stronger

Preparing for you stepping back again I wouldn't care to meet you there in Certainville You're thickening my skin The more I hear you talk it's sinking in You never doubted a thought you thought could win You're laying down your law with a terminal air It’s incredible how you can fabricate taking flak again another shot of ignorance is for the win of bitter suffering WAH PAPAPAPAPA PAO OOOOOOOH I can hear you talk it's sinking in You never doubted a thought you thought could win You're laying down your law with a terminal air It’s incredible how you can fabricate saying that again There's a boat coming in Does it ever scare you to win?

I'm tripping up and you can just give me a reminder life sitting on your chest? Just give me a call yeah eah You don't respect me less if I show you my vagina You pick me up when I've hit another wall You can grab a tune And I'll sing it back at you Stick your point of view where you find a laugh inside disaster oh I put you to the test with a cheeky little number As good as what you get for messing around I think I like it best when we're laughing at each other Comply with my request that you don't back down You can grab a tune And I'll sing it back at you Stick your point of view where you find a laugh inside disaster oh No need to watch out where I tread with you I doubt there's a word I'm not to say I try your patience but my inclination to overplay can never chase you away solo You can grab a tune And I'll sing it back at you Stick your point of view where you find a laugh inside disaster You grab a tune And I’m gonna sing it back at you Stick your point of view where you find a laugh inside disaster and take a picture before and after and that won’t work so let’s get plastered

Your Life 04:49
lyrics

Looking back where you’ve gone A sudden puzzle you’re wary of A Sudden troubling parable tell me Coming back where you’re from What you get is impractical and This is getting impassable yes I Put you in the world and let you crawl and tho It always broke my heart to watch you fall A life that’s always safe is just no life at all Your life is yours its only mine to start You are all that I’ve done Like a circular hit-and run You pick it up and you pass it on stepping Back and letting you run And now you’re looking at what you’ve done Tripping isn’t a lot of fun, and you’ve Taken all the knocks you think you can But it takes a lot of scrapes to build a man I hope you see I tried to do the best I can but Your strife is yours I only played a part There were times I’d do my best to try and shield you From mistakes I know I’ve made. But by the time you know enough for me to tell you Well your bed’s already made And you can use that rest to kick and scream and shout But in your life you’ll have enough to cry about And every time’s the time you’re sure you’ve got it figured out You grow to find that living is an art And though I’ve got no knowledge to impart you know you’ve got my help to take yourself apart Your life was such a privilege to start Win some and some will forswear you Each one was sent to prepare you

I've been shut down not in transfer mode Hard wired I was programmed to re-run those lines of code Your sync requests debug my alibi Life had shown me I'm better alone but a ping is worth a try She's interfering with my program I'll try to restart my modem with a Restart of the OS in my heart I've got updates to apply but there's a.... crash and control-alt feelings just don't work I have to shut it down cause the e- moticons have hit so hard it hurts You know you've got a lovely Interface and I can't face seeing it hurt Don't you know it's just Its so hard to explain you see so I'm I'm using this analogy To tell you what you mean to me encrypted code its not safe to see, Write access to critical files now you're hacking into me I'm trying to trouble shoot my problem You're interfering with my program with a Restart of the OS in my heart shaping my reality but there's a.... crash and control-alt feelings just don't work I have to shut it down cause the e- moticons have hit so hard it hurts You know you've got a lovely Interface and I can't face seeing it hurt Don't you know it's just Its so hard to explain you see so I'm I'm using this analogy To tell you what you mean to me Another hard reset Trying to forget but we're so scared to install something we'll regret configure my presets I swallow hard and take a step but it’s hard to say “I love you” when you're just not ready yet We're just not ready yet

The Hard Sell 04:05
lyrics

Set another record but you shoulda known Regret another session with a heavy groan No pretending that you're not at home To thumping deja vu A liberated mammal is a fallacy You’re not the fine example that you wanna be care to mention that you don't agree? You can sell yourself a share in a forgery You can tell yourself it'll all prove its worth somehow or you can give it away and see they were bluffing put a question there to get somewhere you can find some truth now tell me if I'm talking to you can I break through? I know you're selling but it's you I'm talking to You feel about as travelled as a garden gnome get in amongst the rabble with a mobile phone It's weird to be surrounded when you're all alone so how d'ya like the view? You're sick of being a credit to your company Ya just another apple on the money tree Detrimental to your sanity You can sell yourself a share in a forgery You can tell yourself it'll all prove its worth somehow or you can give it away and see they were bluffing put a question there to get somewhere you can find some truth now am I talking to you? Is that another minute? sell another minute invest to make it bearable Bet it on a line set to see you through Yet another minute sell another minute Invest to make it bearable tread along a line Fix on what you drew You can sell yourself a share in a forgery You can tell yourself it'll all prove its worth somehow or you can give it away and see they were bluffing put a question there to get somewhere you can find some truth Is it bad to ask for present tense were you meant to go to such expense prepare to learn another end is what you got worth what you spent? Dare to ask for present tense were you meant to go to such expense? could you bear to learn another end? All you got is what they sold to you

We're All Going to Die 04:03

No one ever told you you could have a rest You can drop down dead or you can be the best Well is it any wonder we're depressed? Perhaps we're blessed I guess that we should be reassess It ain't easy not to cause offence And we're all looking for someone who can talk some sense Is it reasonable to ask for some pretence No more pre-tense We should try to listen again Because we're all gonna die in the end There is a limit to the time we have to spend And where we are is where is doesn't have to end There is a way to make it out of here alive Well life is hard living on the fence We're all looking for something to rebel against Cause we're up against the wall and we're all in tents You want intense?! I guess I'll have to sing it again Because we're all gonna die in the end There is a limit to the time we have to spend And where we are is where is doesn't have to end There is a way to make it out of here alive Some have chosen to waste their time You push your opinion till it makes you blind No time to worry, I'm sure you're right But you can end up missing something if you're always looking for a fight Because we're all gonna die in the end There is a limit to the time we have to spend And where we are is where it doesn't have to end There is a way to make it out of here alive Why behave so cold? You know there's only one thing you control We’re gonna die we’re gonna die there is a way to make it out of here alive Because we're all gonna die in the end There is a limit to the time we have to spend And where we are is where it doesn't have to end There is a way to make it out of here alive

The End 04:58

A well worn pedestal Well I need to find it To keep me covered She don't mind it I'll wear you like a shell Somewhere I'll never find me With your word, I can fend off the sun Speak uncertain Bear it on shared stone It’s a sacrifice bound up I'll be your satellite sharing a cherished role repairing all the rifts I'll say a prayer to set you where you're going snare me, spare me share in what we've got to get mixed up in time to honour this Nail it down, board it up the fury of a thousand cuts, you can carve me into different shapes I'll do what I can to raise the stakes, you can take my name and sign me up and tar me with your chosen brush, I'll be born again inside your love in a version of forever (shouting) The shots are called the die is cast, what I want is all I ever asked oh understand the will to be my light I'll be your acolyte Solo A well worn pedestal Well I need to find it To keep me covered She don't mind it I'll wear you like a shell Somewhere I'll never find me With your word I can fend off the sun
