HELLO
i love you
and if you change state, that fact shall remain
ahhh, I've found the cure for loneliness its in my brain
(Ahh, Ahh)
Bear with me
if it dosnt make you feel honey thats okay
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
i dont know if ill survive in the circumstances
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
i dont know if ill survive in the circumstances
I am feeling what i feel when i lay in bed
and i, i know just what you're feeling when you seem misread
(Ahh, Ahh)
i cant see
whatever it is that you will convey
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
i dont know if ill survive in the circumstances
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances

Time Is Flying

Ooh, It's all i know
Do, you have to go?
youve not broke me just yet
i can live in retrospect
i can clear the misconceptions,
of your twisted dialect
and i feel lucky to know
that those 2 eyes can take me home
a thousand people all alone
my clock is wound to milestones
Ooh, It's all i know
Do, you have to go?
(Robert)
heavy heart
a very very heavy heart
hard to start
a bitter watermark
all over my dreams
in my nostalgia
into the seams
taxis here
taxis gone
taxis come and go
back where they are from
wish i hadnt come
wish i wasnt numb
hate everyone in this house
exept for one
my blood weighs a ton
Ooh, It's all i know
Do, you have to go?

Puppet
04:32
|

i will beat myself up
i cant be myself around you
its impossible
i cant put myself into your skin i cant feel what you feel
i cant see what you see in him
i returned from somewhere
ive been under your spell
ive been under your stare
i returned from somewhere
ive been under your spell
ive been under your stare
i will stain the memory of you
with the pallet that i use
to recorrect the truth
You have found another day
another way
to make me pay
i returned from somewhere
ive been under your spell
ive been under your stare
i returned from somewhere
ive been under your spell
ive been under your stare
ive been under for so long
isnt easy
youve been stringing me along
isnt easy
pick me up and pull me round
puppet me above the ground
enemy in chemistry
i will not make a sound
even though its tightly wound
the carousel wont turn around
pick me up and push me round
i will not make a sound

Monopolise Me
05:04
|
|||
i had a dream where i appeased
you at a house, out fell my teeth
but thats okay, i never cried
and all your scorn it keeps me warm
me in my party uniform
i can say at least i tried
talk to me still on your phone
you left your sugar coat at home
each reply sounds more to the ground
you drag me in to pull me down
monopolise me
for i am more waiting room than i am my self esteem
All the things, the the thoughts that cling which lead me to dispair
i cant find the peace of mind to be beyond repair
i aim to please
i aim to be
i aim to lead
my self esteem
towards your actuality
now youre mine, to take
im yours to break
do it gently please
talk to me still on your phone
you left your sugar coat at home
each reply sounds more to the ground
you drag me in to pull me down
monopolise me
for i am more waiting room than i am my self esteem
kick me in my tounge until the right words come across
and when you see the state of me youll be displeased it was your loss
though your skin is flawed
the holes and pours
blocked up with superstition
ide sell a kidney
sell a lung
to pay your school tuition
and you wont live to see the beaches when youre seventy
ill ban the watches,
ban the beaches,
life is heavenly
talk to me still on your phone
you left your sugar coat at home
each reply sounds more to the ground
you drag me in to pull me down
monopolise me
for i feel more waiting room than i do my self esteem
please give to me
your absent stare
and ill take 2
they’re going spare

Space
04:21
|
|||
ive been feeling tired and lonely
you can feel it in the darkest regions of my poetry
youve marooned me deep within the arctic
i will swim back through the ice and write something cathartic
i was born in a place, unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
i was born in a place unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
hold me close, dont let me fly away to where i spend most of my days the frigid parts of outer space
it moves me, oh the way it soothes me
watch the way i spin and lose my grasp of what romanced me
i was born in a place, unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
i was born in a place unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
i tried to occupy the space
it turned into an empty waste
the thoughts that run around this place
are those that i collect
erase me your carnality
and return me to reality
my love
i was born in a place, unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
i was born in a place unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
i was born in a place, unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree
i was born in a place unlucky me
where you don't need to know you just need to agree

Poweless Hourglass
04:21
|

this will colclude another day, recollect all the words you say
and i have crumbled like a crisp packet inside a microwave
oh dont belive, what i said
there's unkept scripture, in my unkept head
its really really funny but
its better left unsaid
theres no reason im not seasoned
these pursuits are oddly even
god how you melted away
a ciggarette on a hot day
like A pigeon on a chimney
have you got some noise to give me?
thoughts run deep in wishing wells
so spend a penny, cast a spell
the powerless hourglass
burgles time from sitting on the grass
oh take me to another world
lovely flowers but now theyve curled
youre so ruthless, youre so ruthless,
youre so ruthless, hypocrite
oh, you're so ruthless, wrong and toothless,
thats your toothbrush, isnt it?
this will colclude another day, recollect all the words you say
and i have crumbled like a crisp packet inside a microwave
oh dont belive, what i said
there's unkept scripture, in my unkept head
its really really funny but
its better left unsaid
this will colclude another day, give me words of that i crave
and i will crumble like a crisp packet inside a microwave
oh dont belive, what i said
there's unkept scripture, in my head
its really really really funny but
its better left unsaid
and i know you wont feel the same
i know you dont feel my pain
i know you wont take the blame
and take a trip inside my brain
i know you wont feel the same
i know you dont feel my pain
take a trip inside my brain
oh take a trip inside my brain

I've Lost
06:26
|

all these mirrors in your head
reflect what hasnt happened yet
all these mirrors in your head
reflect what hasnt happened yet
all these mirrors in your head
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
reflect what hasnt happened yet
there is no life on earth
but only in my mind
i wish that i could surf
to be with my own kind
and if i find someone with which to spend my time
we'd swim away and find somewhere that we could hide
ive lost the will to keep trying all the time with you
and i, i lost the pen that could speak more words that i ever knew
i lost the poem, that i wrote you and put straight through the blades
i lost track of time, but you've been sat outside the maze
i lost control, this raft is sinking in the sea
i lost the vision of us sitting round and drinking tea
i lost the puzzle that was sitting there but now it’s gone
i lost somebody there was 2 but now there's one
is there no life on earth
or none that i could find
was that a song i heard
i might as well be blind
and if i find someone upon this cosmic ground
ide signal with my lips to reproduce the sound

Wendy House

All these porcelain people make you fear
of what youll become in another year
so suck your ciggarettes for dear life
and ignore the sharpness of the overt knife
your knees protrude from your jeans
and you think by artificial means
my bloodshot eyes dart around
trying to discover something more profound
the coffee is the nicotine
that loosens my minds guillotine
“and you, only have yourself to blame
for the miscalculations that dont lead to fame”
my my am i suprised
that im someone they can plasticise
summers in, feel it in the air
i want to be like you, and act like i don’t care
your mood dictates, the clothes that you wear
you can hide it in your bag, and it won’t get you anywhere
a face to make you fall in love
a face that im reminisent of
the strong smell of your cheap perfume
the transparency of your social tomb
and you think its all in your head my love
but your pets creep ever closer to your bed my love
summers in, feel it in the air
i wanna be like you, and act like i don’t care
your mood dictates, the clothes that you wear
you can hide it in your bag, and it won’t get you anywhere
you can hide in silence, you could hide in noise
deal it then feel it
you deal it then feel it
cos you deal it then feel it
you deal it then feel it
cos you deal it then feel it
you deal it then feel it
The pop of my heart is as soft as a bubble
the chaos, the muzzle is part of the puzzle
cos you deal it, then feel it
you deal it, then feel it
cos you deal it, then feel it
you deal it, then feel it
darling i cant see it, i don't feel it, anymore
darling i cant see it, i don't feel it, anymore
darling i cant see it, i don't mean it, anymore
darling i can't see it, i don't feel it you've closed the door
darling, i cant reach it, there's no groove to this album anymore
there's no groove to this album anymore
GOODBYE
