Open your eyes,
Shall we start today how you left last night?
As the moon pulls our tide,
We are drawn by desire.
Don’t say that you know it.
You wouldn’t be here if you did.
There’s good days and bad days but this hangs over me always.
Unchanging.
I just wanna go, I just wanna go where it is.
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know when home is calling.
You’ve got time, you’ve got time,
You’ve got time, got time to cry,
For home tonight.
Is there really a right way?
Sea of emotion fills and ocean full of pain.
We try to be more than yesterday,
Home is a presence not a place.
Don’t say that you know it.
You wouldn’t be here if you did.
There’s good days and bad days but this hangs over me always.
Unchanging.
I just wanna go, I just wanna go where it is.
I don’t wanna know, I don’t wanna know when home is calling.
You’ve got time, you’ve got time,
You’ve got time, got time to cry,
For home tonight.
We're in a chemical daze.
We get numb in our own ways.
Then try and push the blame.
It’s a victim mentality.

Fight the Fear

Somebody call me a taxi
'Cause I’m feeling over romantic.
You like to say I’m sleazy
Going nowhere fast and it’s so easy.
Each day replay the same drone
Tells me I’m dying alone.
In a world tied to our phones
In a glass house throwing stones.
Is the pain ripping away at ya?
Pain getting the best of ya?
Pain taken everything you’ve ever had?
Go throw it up in a bag.
Maybe this is the end, this is the end
And we belong here.
'Cause b aby we can pretend, we can pretend
Or fight the fear.
'Cause lately I can’t remember almost anything around here.
Waiting just for the end
From here on in we fight the fear.
Heart on your sleeve, head up your ass
Painted face, with fake class.
You like to take, you give nothing
It’s all fights and no fucking.
Is the pain ripping away at ya?
The pain getting the best of ya?
Pain taken everything you’ve ever had?
Go throw it up in a bag.
Maybe this is the end, this is the end
And we belong here.
'Cause baby we can pretend, we can pretend
Or fight the fear.
'Cause lately I can’t remember almost anything around here.
Waiting just for the end
From here on in we fight the fear.
So sick of information and I just wanna get wasted.
Long done with your conversation and I just wanna get wasted.
'Cause lately I can’t remember almost anything around here.
Waiting just for the end
From here on in we fight the fear.
Is the pain ripping away at ya?
The pain getting the best of ya?
The pain taken everything you’ve ever had?
Go throw it up in a bag.
Maybe this is the end, (his is the end
And we belong here.
Baby we can pretend, we can pretend
Or fight the fear.
'Cause lately I can’t remember almost anything around here.
Waiting just for the end
From here on in we fight the fear.
So sick of information and I just wanna get wasted.
Long done with your conversation and I'm just gonna get wasted.
'Cause lately I can’t remember almost anything around here.
Waiting just for the end from here on in we fight the fear.

Head down, don’t look up just keep your
Head down you’ve got a good morning
Cigarette now, all even burning
Down, until it reaches the sea.
And now, you’re all asleep. You can
Run, you can hide but just you stand up and see.
It’s all in your hands running to your feet, Running from the pressure, from people that you meet,
It takes a little time And I just can’t get you out of my mind.
As it keeps score, for me. Keeps score, for me.
Calling and I’m running out of time.
Head down, wake up get out of
Bed now, you’ve got a good morning
Cigarette now! All even burning
Down Til it reaches the sea.
And now, You’re all asleep,
You can run, you can hide but you will not replace me.
It’s all in your hands running to your feet, Running from the pressure, from people that you meet,
It takes a little time And I just can’t get you out of my mind.
As it keeps score, for me. Keeps score, for me.
Calling and I’m running out of time.
It’s all in your hands running to your feet, Running from the pressure, from people that you meet,

Black Dog
04:42

You slept on the ground, raise your head and look around you’ll
Never see your way
Through the eyes of yesterday
You felt lonely in the crowd, why did you bother going out?
It’s a temporary state
And you’re living in it’s wake
Walking a tightrope through the fray.
If I could find a way to crush and grind
Joy into a paste
I’d make you happy everyday
Fighting in you mind chemical warfare, your own kind
Prescriptions laying waste
That familiar bitter taste
Walking a tightrope through the fray.
Broken from the start. You need to be
Whole before you give half. Fighting
Just to stray through everyday
You’re powers dressed in pain, just keep that
Black dog far away, just keep that
Black dog far away
So I come aroundbecause you don’t feel safe right now
I’m scared I’ll be too late
And you’ll follow through one day
There is no sound the mirrors broken, curtains down
Timid, red eyed daze
Throwing up night, today
Walking a tightrope through the fray.
Now I’m kneeling down at your altar
I’m begging please for a beat to come from your heart
Counting compressions I’m losing time
Follow directions stay on the line
It’s never easy, whatever way out
You’ll never be loved if you can’t love yourself
Swallow rejection, battle each day
There is no question you’ve got to keep that
Black dog far away keep that
Black dog far away keep that
Black dog far away keep that
* FADE OUT

Ifs and Maybes
03:45
|

|
Go on and crucify me
A poisoned apple falls next to a dead tree
A viper’s tongue and a python’s bind
A father’s love and a mothers lie’s
You move my away
Whenever it seems to suit you take me
Home then chain me
In a prison of your ifs and maybes. I’m in a
Prison of your ifs and maybes
We are shells you and me
Shadows of what we could be
Consciously unconscious, knowingly unwise
A snake in your ear put social ladders in your mind
You move my away
Whenever it seems to suit you take me
Home then chain me
In a prison of your ifs and maybes. I’m in a
Prison of your ifs and maybes. How do you…
Dance on a burning stage, as their calling
You’ve got to get away. There’s
Warriors at the gates, the sky is falling
Your Trojan Horse it awaits
A player without a game, a blood thirst
A cruel mind behind a kind face
Looking for an escape, what came first
The apple or the snake
You move my away
Whenever it seems to suit you take me
Home then chain me
In a prison of your ifs and maybes. I’m in a
Prison of your ifs and maybes

We Forget To Love

Night kisses day, falling asleep on the freeway
Running from a pain, they can’t see for the first time this is the last
Time……… I swear.
Sea he crashes on, knock on the door and I hide my song.
Opened up but you were gone. For the first time I raise my hands and cry!
See the world from the stars All the cruel hands up there playing cards, and they’re
Printing money, while we’re keeping up it gets too tough, so much we forget to
Love. We forget to love. We forget to
Love. We forget to love.
I can’t get enough Dare not mention giving up
Can’t admit that I’m stuck For the first time this is the last
Time……… I swear.
Night kisses day, falling asleep on the freeway
Running from a pain, they can’t see For the first time this is the last
Time.

Laid out you got left behind, all forgotten as the wayside
Starts to come alive but my fingers just can’t hold you in the dead of the night!
Woo. No no no.
You can’t run from this heat-seeking
Ghost. No no no.
It’s time to admit you’ve learned nothing and
There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it.
There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. .
Weighed out you got ostracized , locked up in your head in denial as it
Starts to come alive. But my fingers just can’t hold you in the dead of the night
Woo. No no no.
You can’t run from this heat-seeking
Ghost. No no no.
It’s time to admit you’ve learned nothing and
There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it.
There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. .
Woo. No no no.
You can’t run from this heat-seeking
Ghost. No no no.

There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it.
There’s no stopping it. There’s no stopping it. .

Get What You Take

I took refuge in wasting time. Made love to a state of mind.
It’s true what they say. Reap what you sow get what you take.
Reap what you sow get what you take.
But all around.
We’re still figuring out all these humans
We’re still learning how to be lonely
You can pray and you can wait but you
Only get what you take.
I’m the food you left on the bench. I’m your message never sent.
I’m the pain that you now own. What can I say you should’ve known
What can I say you should’ve known.
But all around.
We’re still figuring out all these humans
We’re still learning how to be lonely
You can pray and you can wait but you
Only get what you take. And now.
My good times hurt the worst. Be careful who you put first.
Our bodies are a prize. Here’s yours, break my
Fall before you carry on.
Pray you can wait but you only get what you
Take. Get what you
We’re still figuring out all these humans
We’re still learning how to be lonely
You can pray and you can wait but you
Only get what you take. And now.
My good times hurt the worst. Be careful who you put first.
Our bodies are a prize. Here’s yours, break my
Fall before you carry on.
Pray you can wait but you only get what you
Take. Get what you
Take. Get what you
Take You get what you take.

Outta My Head
02:40

Green eyes so fine you are sipping my sunshine and you are
Ripping on my lime this time there is no compromise
I walk street talk and I cry into the moonlight tonight we
Sit by the sea, somebody.
Yeah I’m outta my head now Yeah I am out on my own
Yeah I’m outta my head now With you with you yeah.
Falling too far, well too far so who do you think you are
Talking so tall to me how do you sleep
I walk street talk and I cry into the moonlight tonight
Alone by the sea, it’s anarchy.
Yeah I’m outta my head now Yeah I am out on my own
Yeah I’m outta my head now With you with you yeah.
Yeah I’m outta my head now Yeah I am out on my own
Yeah I’m outta my head now With you with you yeah.
