Honestly
02:18
|
|||
I count to ten
A year has passed
A generation’s hopes are dashed
And still I waste time
A burning fuse
The falling sands
Lines breaking through
My face and hands
The price of this crime
And time is running out
It’s always tick tock tick tock
My life is now in doubt
With all this tick tock tick tock
I’ve burnt myself right out
Just tryin-a beat that big clock
Wow
I just realised that
Honestly
I think this thing's killing me
I think this thing is
Taking over all my feelings
Makes me forget what I believe in
Funny how
I feel I act different now
I feel I’m acting like someone I don’t believe in
Just wake me up
‘Cos I’m done dreaming now
I plan my time
And time my plan
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man
While you count the cost
‘Cos verse and chapter
Blind belief
Can make a man a
Common thief
The years I stole, lost
The promises we make
Just turn to vapour
Paper is not worth writing on
We’ll just annul it later
When guarantees and hearts are broken
Who’s the traitor now?
Wow.
I just realised that
Honestly
I think this thing's killing me
I think this thing is
Taking over all my feelings
Makes me forget what I believe in
Funny how
I feel I act different now
I feel I’m acting like someone I don’t believe in
Just wake me up
‘Cos I’m done dreaming now
I count to ten
A year has passed
A generation’s hopes are dashed
And still I waste time

Chasing Rainbows
03:51
|
|||
This scene was too small for me
I had ideas galore for me
I said “I see who I oughta be"
Yeah yeah yeah
I packed my ego and shoes, went south
Too good for dreams in a two-bit town
I guess I seem like the loser now
Yeah yeah yeah
These pages turn
These songs move on
What have you done
Since I’ve been gone?
Chasing rainbows
Lost me you babe
Now will you
Now will you remember me?
Chasing rainbows
Cost me you babe
Will you ever
Will you ever forgive me?
Made a new life and met a crowd
I turned my tune up and kept it loud
I broke a few hearts and slept around
Yeah yeah yeah
But distractions take many forms
The crash the limits and trash the norms
Now I'm a king with a crown of thorns
Yeah yeah yeah
These pages turn
These songs move on
What have you done
Since I’ve been gone?
Chasing rainbows
Lost me you babe
Now will you
Now will you remember me?
Chasing rainbows
Cost me you babe
Will you ever
Will you ever forgive me?
Too late it’s too late
It’s too late I know it
Too late it’s too late
You’re gone
Chasing rainbows
Lost me you babe
Now will you
Now will you remember me?

Let's Get Away
03:51
|
|||
Pack a tiny bag
Just a few things
Let's get out of here
Let's just disappear
And see what it brings
Turn the music off
Close the bedroom door
Leave the laundry there
Dropped without a care
On the bathroom floor
Let’s get away
Let’s get away
Let’s flee
Let’s fly
Just don’t ask why
Let’s get away
Let’s get away
Let's leave this house
Leave this town
Just turn our backs
And hide our tracks
They’ll hunt us down
They’ll hunt us down
Ah-ahhh
Oh-ohhh
Don’t explain a thing
Don’t forewarn a soul
‘Cos before we go
No-one needs to know
Anything at all
Bring a fav’rite thing
One that soothes your heart
So that when we doubt
We can think about
Our journey’s start
Let’s get away
Let’s get away
Let’s flee
Let’s fly
Just don’t ask why
Let’s get away
Let’s get away
Let's leave this house
Leave this town
Just turn our backs
And hide our tracks
They’ll hunt us down
They’ll hunt us down
I know it's late
I know it's cold
We have to go
I'm sorry though
I can't expand
I can't explain
But things won't ever
Be the same
Let’s get away
Let’s get away
Let’s flee
Let’s fly
Just don’t ask why
Let’s get away
Let’s get away
Let's leave this house
Leave this town
Just turn our backs
And hide our tracks
They’ll hunt us down
They’ll hunt us down
Ah-ahhh
Oh-ohhh

Day and night you’re on my mind
Need to fix that pretty soon
Wherever I look I’m going blind
Is there a doctor in the room?
But I kind of like this illness
I’m not sure I need a cure
No
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I keep it all inside
I keep it all inside
I keep it all inside
Need a break from this addiction
Just a junkie for your love
And I’m not into superstition
But I’mma get those rituals learnt
But I kind of like this illness
I’m not sure I need a cure
No
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
Now and then I get a little deep
All alone, so cold and losing sleep
Mmm hmmm….
Day and night you’re on my mind
Need to fix that pretty soon
Wherever I look I’m going blind
Is there a doctor in the room?
HAH
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy
I don’t want you; I need you
Like crazy, like crazy

This Stupid Stupid Life
03:10
|
|||
Look where we’ve been
Look what we ate
Look what we’re drinking
Love us! We’re great!
Watch us go shopping
Watch us undress
Look what we’re earning
We’re made of success!
This stupid stupid life
This stupid stupid life
Fools no-one
This stupid stupid life
This stupid stupid life
Fools no-one
Is it fooling me?
Watch us be awesome
Envy our lives
Wish you were us now
Pluck out your eyes
Look we’re adoring
Look, we perform
Gushing like drainpipes
During a storm
This stupid stupid life
This stupid stupid life
Fools no-one
This stupid stupid life
This stupid stupid life
Fools no-one
Is it fooling me?
This stupid stupid life
This stupid stupid life
Fools no-one
This stupid stupid life
This stupid stupid life
Fools no-one
Is it fooling me?

Here’s what I think
I… I need a drink
To set things straight
To contemplate
Pull back from the brink
Here’s what I’ll say
I’ll say “please stay”
Let’s set things right
Let’s reunite
Let’s not throw away
In all my dreams
I dreamt we’d be
Better than this
Like in our genes
A hidden seed
Would take care of it
Such certainty
Without a care
But suddenly
The truth is there
I dreamt we’d be
We’re meant to be
Better than this
Here’s what you’ll do
You’ll say we’re through
Such confidence at all expense
Always stay like you
Our movie ends
Two not-quite friends
Co-starring roles
But yours unfolds
Through a different lens
In all my dreams
I dreamt we’d be
Better than this
Like in our genes
A hidden seed
Would take care of it
Such certainty
Without a care
But suddenly
The truth is there
I dreamt we’d be
We’re meant to be
Better than this
You taught me all you know
All for show
Now I know
For sure
Here’s what I think
I… I need a drink

Time for Time Out
03:02
|

Time out
Time out
We’ve been
So close so perfect
Daily
We work then work it
Baby
Now I don’t wanna
Break the spell
But
Lately I’m thinking I’m sinking
I’m fearing I’m disappearing
We rushed a little too much
Right into this
So it’s
Time for time out
I don’t mean to cause doubt
But we’re too close now TBH
Don’t want this nest to be a cage
Just be you, be me
I don’t mean “let’s be free”
Let’s stay in love
Let’s stay in line
It’s just time for some time out
Now
Time out
Time out
Time out
Time out
Time out
You’re queen
Of my emotion
My sea
My tide, my ocean
Believe
You’re always in my heart
Full time
But
Lately I’m thinking I’m sinking
I’m fearing I’m disappearing
We rushed a little too much
Right into this
So it’s
Time for time out
I don’t mean to cause doubt
But we’re too close now TBH
Don’t want this nest to be a cage
Just be you, be me
I don’t mean “let’s be free”
Let’s stay in love
Let’s stay in line
It’s just time for some time out
Time Out
Time Out
Time Out
Time Out
Time Out
Time Out
(Lately
I fear
We rushed into this)
So it’s
Time for time out
I don’t mean to cause doubt
But we’re too close now TBH
Don’t want this nest to be a cage
Just be you, be me
I don’t mean “let’s be free”
Let’s stay in love
Let’s stay in line
It’s just time for some time out
Now
Time Out
Time Out
Time Out
Now

Running From Nothing?
02:26
|
|||
Well I’ve travelled and searched
Grown old but not grown up
I’ve punished and bruised my heart
I’ve changed cities
Changed houses
Changed jobs
And changed friends
But ended up at the start
So
What if
What if
What if
I’ve just been
Running from nothing?
Running from nothing
Running from nothing
Running from nothing
Well I’ve loved and I’ve lost
I’ve built and broken homes
I’ve given and taken pain
I’ve changed lovers
Changed lifestyle
Changed habits
Changed names
But it still comes back again
So
What if
What if
What if
I’ve just been
Running from nothing?
Running from nothing

Travelling Time
03:19
|

Hooked to my screen
But watching the clock
Group calls and meetings
Too tired to talk
Each day’s a copy
The same as the last
Yesterday’s today
Tomorrow’s the past
Family forgotten
Friends’ calls ignored
So much to do now
But somehow I’m bored
Family forgotten
Friends’ calls ignored
God I’m bored
We’re travelling time
On a one-way trip
We just forget to notice
How wonderful it is
We’re travelling time
But we’re flying alone
And on this one-way trip
You can never go home
Hooked to my screen
But desperate for sleep
Feeding fatigue
And scrolling too deep
I’m all caught up
But still I refresh
Gulping down data
Piling on stress
Block all the boring
Filter the dull
So much consumption
But I’m never full
Block all the boring
Filter the dull
I’m never full
We’re travelling time
On a one-way trip
We just forget to notice
How wonderful it is
We’re travelling time
But we’re flying alone
And on this one-way trip
You can never go home
Yeah on this one-way trip
You can never
Go home
