Japanese Sky
03:40
|

I wanna look into a Japanese sky
I wanna see the neons glowing
climbing sky high
I wanna fall, flowing, over the edge of a dream
I want to slowly run out of steam
dressed in protocol
birthmark
benchmark
how can you finish
if you don't stop
if you don't start
there's always someone scurrying around
telling you your pain should be worrying
with theatrical refrain
giving you incentive
and feeding your disdain
though they never meant it
here it goes again
but you need to break out of your bubble
got to struggle
to get as far away as hubble
and for all my troubles
I'm still sinking mismeasured doubles
and for all my troubles
I'm still sinking mismeasured doubles
I huddle in my corner
which now seems so much colder
there must be somewhere warmer
cos I'm feeling so much older
gotta jump over that fence
and slam that broken gate
I count my copper pence
cos I know they're worth their weight in gold
I wanna look into a Japanese sky
I wanna see the neons glowing
climbing sky high
I wanna fall, flowing, over the edge of a dream
I want to slowly run out of steam
I wanna look
I wanna look
into a Japanese sky

She's over
03:27

Friends you can't pretend
she's over again
it's worse than I thought
still turning my head
I fight and fight alone
cos I want to
she's over
again
Friends you can't defend
it's broken again
cursing
hands taut
and burning my lamp
recompense
atone
decry what's true
she's over
again
She's over
She's over again
Friends you can't pretend
she's over again
Friends you can't pretend
she's over again
She's over
She's over again

You fell asleep while watching you
the sweetest thing that you could do
now I think how fortunate I am
tripping over dreams to get to you
Will our lives fade through
will our lies fade through
You fell asleep while watching you
the sweetest thing that you could do
now I think how fortunate I am
tripping over dreams to get to you
Will our lives fade through
for I could do you no wrong
will our lives fade through
will our lies fade through

Chaos
02:58
|
|||
I was dreaming you were leaving
and now I keep believing
cos it's chaos
it's chaos
I'm outwardly so saddened
but inwardly so gladdened
cos it's chaos
it's chaos
I'm set for mind implosion
after years of slow corrosion
through this chaos
this chaos
The Raven's come to chide, he laughs,
but maybe he will guide me through
this chaos
this chaos
Take my head
push me into the earth
cos lightning follows thunder
Take my heart
and flick that switch
and send me to that world of wonder
Bursting into life
I see the summit high
My chameleon
don't be sad
you were born to change the world
I'll be the one to break it
I simply cannot take it
cos it's chaos
it's chaos
I've lost all my ambition
screamed into submission
during chaos
chaos
I'm set for mind implosion
after years of slow corrosion
through this chaos
this chaos
The Raven's come to chide me, I think,
maybe he will guide me through
this chaos
maybe he will guide me through this chaos
maybe he will guide me through this chaos
maybe he will guide me through this chaos
maybe he will guide me through this chaos
maybe he will guide me through this chaos
this chaos
this chaos

The 25 year
02:13
|
|||
If everybody wants you
then there's something wrong
If everybody wants you
then there's something wrong
cos if everyone is different
and everybody wants you
then there's something wrong
there's something wrong
but when the holier than thou
are giving you the third degree
you just back off
you just back off
you don't want to hear
The 25 year
no, this is borrowed time
and that distinctive chime
reminds me
never lender nor a borrower be
I see it
but can you see
that I am smitten
but it is written in de facto law
by protracted claw
I'm on a hiding to nothing
but nothing is something
and I'm clipping my prose
I'm dipping my toes
in the water fine
and what I want will always be mine
and what I want will always be mine
and what I want will always be mine
If everybody wants you
then there's something wrong
If everybody wants you
then there's something wrong
cos if everyone is different
and everybody wants you
then there's something wrong
there's something wrong
there's something wrong
there's something wrong

We are Equinox
02:36
|

Loaded question
now they try to catch you out
you got the cover look
get out while you can
Don't blame the seasons
for your lifetimes misery
I'm overhead
gonna see you and save you
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
Bloated conversations in the mornings
I can hear it over the equator
You've checked the latitude
rechecked the longitude
but just be ready
I've already found you
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
Hours stride across the slide that falls into my brain
this ride it gives me respite from the self proclaimed insane
Hours stride across the slide that falls into my brain
this ride it gives me respite from the self proclaimed insane
When everything is equal and North and South align
I'll hush your sorries
crush your worries
you are the new design
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
We are Equinox
I am Equinox
You are Equinox
They are Equinox
We are Equinox

The same time
01:59

everybody's screaming (at the same time)
misdemeaning (at the same time)
left field leaning (at the same time)
pretending to believe in (at the same time)
we're not losing
we're not moving
at the same time
the same time
we're not walking
we're not talking
at the same time
the same time
everybody's trying (at the same time)
mile high flying (at the same time)
slowly untying (at the same time)
downright lying (at the same time)
we're not biting
we're just fighting
at the same time
the same time
we're not losing
we're not moving
at the same time
the same time
everybody's hating
levitating
annihilating
tired of waiting
everybody's falling (at the same time)
stopping, not stalling (at the same time)
lovers cold calling (at the same time)
degrading the enthralling (at the same time)
we're not losing
we're not moving
at the same time
the same time
we're not walking
we're not talking
at the same time
the same time
we're not biting
we're just fighting
at the same time

we're not moving
at the same time
the same time

One Percent
02:07
|
|||
I never thought a place could be stopping my mind
from climbing up and getting over now
they talk so much just for passing the time
that silence suffocates
they watch the dates
and how can it be when everyone tries
it's just a few that try to cut you down
they try to beat you back from that room at the top
I think it's time
to crush that golden crown
Take your fear of losing all and power up your tongues
be prepared to use up all the air inside your lungs
win or lose you've got to prove
that there's no point looking back
we just want to share the spoils
and watch those fake smiles crack
when we take away their
One percent
(when we take away their)
One percent
(gimme gimme gimme your)
One percent
(when we take away their)
One percent
(we're gonna take away your)
One percent
(when we take away their)
One percent
(gimme gimme gimme your)
One percent
(when we take away their)
One percent
We'll take it
break it
give it
share it out

Ruin
03:22
|
|||
I can see what you're doing
I have finished in second place
You're determined to ruin
all the plans that we put in place
Calling the lies
leading the stand
turning the tide
breaking the hand from hand
Falling from grace
freedom regained
lines are all closed
words are all cold and strained
Everything's so far away
save it for another day
soul is heavy
weighs a ton
catapulted to the sun
everything is close for now
made it but I don't know how
waiting for the night to come
leaving in the morning sun
I can feel the pressure
pressing down on me
as I fall into leisure
I give my power back to me
I can see what you're doing
I have finished in second place
You're determined to ruin
all the plans that we put in place

Sun Girl
you have been waiting for winter
summer has broken you down
together we'll view constellations
when nobody else is around
I'm tired of watching the TV
I'd rather be watching the sky
this nowhere is somewhere to dream of
so don't let this world pass me by
cos I'm tired of watching the TV
I'd rather be watching the sky
this nowhere is somewhere to dream of
so don't let this world pass me by
Shock my blood
wake all sleepy heads
(it's time to get up)
with that thud
hear that sound
hit the ground running
hit the ground running
Cold feet on heatwave tarmac
keeps us on the move
my stories still approved by
Sun Girl
forget about miserable summers
forget about lies on the sofa
together we'll view constellations
when nobody else is around
when nobody else is around
when nobody else is around
when nobody else is around
when nobody else is around

You will see

I don't know
and I don't care what you do
you mean nothing to me
and I mean nothing to you
So why do you waste your time
trying to undermine mine
just keep your pointless words and thoughts
safe for your unkind kind
One day you will see
a place where you can shine
but make that place I beg of you
so far away from mine

Window Souls
04:21

window souls
secretly thumbing through the dead sea scrolls
discreetly humming songs to swing the polls
cutting the corners now and slipping the tolls
paying the price so you can reach your goals
window souls
They need no measure to gauge your size
unattainable treasure is in your eyes
window souls
dreaming of tumbling through the darkest holes
fingering and fumbling to accrue the coals
lingering and stumbling at the hands of trolls
scratching in the dark for paracetamols
window souls
They plead forgiveness then act so wise
it's a pleasure doing business, no suits, no ties
window souls
expertly flirting as the prince cajoles
instantly hurting as the crowd extols
painting the skirting as the high heel strolls
expertly asserting that she rocks and rolls
window souls
I need no measure to gauge your size

expertly asserting that she rocks and rolls
window souls
window souls
oh so clever oh so human
