Japanese Sky 03:40
lyrics
buy track
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

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
lyrics

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

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

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
lyrics

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

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 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 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 unattainable treasure is in your eyes 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 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 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 window souls oh so clever oh so human
