whenever i'm left without news
am i just missing out?
am i getting tired of this view
can't bring myself to shout
if i could have what i choose
would i still feel doubt
is all of life just a ruse
are my desires just lies to spout
arrange all your brain cells
is your heart aching
gather your patience
do you not feel what i feel?
whilst we gather dust
and forget why we'd trust
when we want a smile
am i at all liked

Sticking Around Here
03:15
|
|||
|
one small step is all it takes to break
to be tempted by the snake
these things make up mistakes
time can't tell you what you need to hear
another life is near
if only it was clear
it's hard just sticking around here
it's hard just sticking around here
how can i make sure that i'm untied eyes wide
to all the things that i could never be
forever i'm breaking my insides beside
people that can see much more than me
it's hard just sticking around here
it's hard just sticking around here

Like Statues

i'll die only when i'm sleeping calmly
when i've won the race
when i've made some space
when i've rid my head of what
i wouldn't be seen with dead
it seems that my dreams harm me
but it's my place of acceptance
where i move on from
my life of wrongs
so i can be that thing that i have never been
to the weirdness i can relate
that all in your head could be fake
get by
can i even by?
would i be paying my dues
will my performance get rave reviews
doesn't seem likely
is it even likely
what is wanting
is it the shape of my subconscious
if it can drive just who i'll be
then my desire reveals that it's
a leaf in a stream
there's a delay to the scene change
all the same actors still in frame
their like statues
and we see their dwindling queues
even though they'll still be paid
their money they'll take to the grave
do i play my part well
am i supposed to act out

Real Life

she said i had to go to the doctor if i wanted to survive
i waited for the NHS and got squeamish at the first break
it turned out it was a nerve and i walked standing better with posture
my fingertips could almost touch the billboard
and i don't want you to say that i need you in my life
i don't want you to say that i want you in my life
when i was told to reach for the stars
and they're literally invisible
when i awake from fainting after the football kicked my face in
but they give me extra lives each time
and i don't expect them to make it every life
i don't want you to say that i want you in my life
i don't want you to say that i need you in my life
this is real life and real death every time you play it
this is real life and real death every time you play it
i don't want you to say that i want you in my life
i don't want you to say that i need you in my life
in my life
my life

Creases

and finally, freedom finds it's only crease
a little bored, the options we tell ourselves in emptiness
delirious, we predict a ten week peak
the answer, lives between bills and healthiness
oh force me to be
underneath, the slip up slides from the open mind
cross off the board
make sure you hoard, the wires all trip and the sky goes out

Mid Album Break
01:26
|

this is the mid album break
take a moment to relax
go and get a drink if you want
your favourite drink to calm you down
imagine you're in a park
it's a lovely warm day
the sun is out, you look around
people are playing
the grass is green, freshly mown
you turn to your left and there's a pigeon looking right at you
this is the first time you've ever truly understood a pigeon
hmm
that's really quite something isn't it
understanding a pigeon i didn't think i'd get that from today
well you've just been given that wonderful wish
and it's not even something you've truly experienced
you've only experienced it in your mind
ok, mid album break over

Make Another

make another
make another
i thought i had it all worked out
a plan a job the house the lot
but then the cold weather
and the reason we can't be together
it ruined the last 4 years
and now im back at where i started
make another
make another

one day you'll be 29
i'll be fine
and we won't remember those times
those times we cried
how can life be so precarious
disagreements are the scariest
what is love when i don't feel good
if we only knew where we stood
help me fill in my gaps
those things i don't have
and we can make our own paths
not our only paths
how can life be so precarious
disagreements are the scariest
i want you to feel my love

nothing ever feels right
i can't ever feel alive
if i ask will it take away
the small chance of certainty
can i say i own my heart of my head
or am i forever falling instead

Part 2

I will often hold the doubt that I'm the bad one
accused of playing a victim of your love
I can call this home but it isn't where my heart is
Do I paint you as a demon out of shit and blood?
You know I am trying hard, you act like this is effortless.
You know it's hard when you call your limbs the things we mutually bought
I find emotive scales exciting and frightening
all my emotive scales contract viruses of thought
I have chosen this lonely freedom
let's hope it works out for the both of us
I'm a sorry sap forever stunted ox, confirmed
your flabbergasted film speech, find the words that hurt
you tell me I was born broken, that I don't know how to love
you know I think I do agree, and that's why I've had enough
