Drown In 01:19
In hope that I'd make It into her life I said hello, and she said "I like the way you sing, I like the words you bring into my mind, with all the Stories and the pictures That you talk about and Serenade with sound, Oh I'm afraid I'll drown In your love"
2.
Don’t you remember when we had the world reading off our page? Ink impressions on the mind now adapted to the stage Breaking hearts, saving lives, so unashamed We never learnt to curb desire; fall in love again But wait now, nothing can pull us apart Or slow us down; We knew this was wrong from the start So break down the bullet points and shoot them all around My love, this time it’s over Grease on my fingers like your lips on my neck We were paid to be together with every single cheque You sink beneath my touch when a thought becomes a word Every alphabet we write could be a gift or a curse So burn down the sheets where we wrote down our dreams And move on What the fuck will I do with a screen? What will I do if we break down the bullet points and shoot them all around If playing by the rules doesn’t get you anywhere
3.
There are two sides to my story, two faces to my name There's no sentimental glory in the past, oh it's just a picture frame You know I'm a fast learner, I say I'm learning fast We're in the institute of madness; let's see how long it lasts Do you know, is madness a disease? Am I losing my mind, leaving behind Everything I know and all my sanity, waiting to find Some kind of meaning in the chaos Am I waking up? Kept the flowers and the letters, I drowned my sorrows in a drink When the world steals away your song, will I still hear you sing? Oh you know you're a fast learner, I see you're learning fast We're in the institute of madness, let's see how long it lasts
4.
Crime 03:48
So you’re waiting for everything to fall apart You don’t know where to start Self-destruction is an art form Form your little illusions in your head, And remember what you said When you’re running from the storm Storming in and storming out again Kissing the silhouette of the hand that feeds you You better learn that it’s easy to steal from a child, If you’re looking to put up a fight I won’t let you get away with crime Cry me a river of despair, when you’re pulling out your hair Thinking about where I could be ‘Cause you’ve been told that life is hard, From the very start So wait till you get a load of me Storming in storming out again Kissing the silhouette of the hand that feeds you You better learn that it’s easy to steal from a child If you’re looking to put up a fight I won’t let you get away with
5.
Scrabble eyes, I sympathise with your plight You can’t see what needs to be seen, what’s plain in sight You compromise I don’t care your bird’s eye view What you say What you do anymore is nothing but synchronised Falling apart; you think you’re smart when you lay your letters down In paragraphs, you write it down, you tell me your history And all your fantasies and I must I hate the subtleties of your storyline, cause you’re just wasting time, You keep revealing it piece by piece Say what you mean, put me out of my misery, Why won’t you just learn to use your words? Let’s get drunk and write down the truth You know, I’m quite the liar when I’m sober Everyone else is on the move, Nothing will ever change, we’ll always be the same The pursuit is never ending Oh, I won’t be going with the seasons Tell me when you’re done pretending, Will you wake me up? Tell me when you’ve learnt to use your words
6.
Headrush 04:33
Roll around the carpet, trying to get a head rush, I know that you like it, So come out and play Your mom and dad aren’t watching, so catch me if you can Oh I know that you need it, so come out and be yourself The garden isn’t empty, but you know there’ll be plenty of multi-coloured Fish in the sea So you don’t care for your roses; all you need to know is, When the crop has dried up, you can take out your boat into the breeze This isn’t what you came here for A myriad of closing doors But everyday you want it more Everyday you want me so bad I could be your saving grace Or throw your way some friendly fire Walk you right into the flame Show you what’s become of your desire Leave out all the endings, Lets burn them and move on; The party doesn’t stop till I turn out the lights The music drowns the voices, The voices in my head But I don’t want to hear them, no I don’t want to hear them I want to touch paradise, with no consequences Roll around the carpet, trying to get a head rush I know that you like it, so come out and play.

Highs & Lows 06:29
Lately I've been hiding from my pillowcase, Sleep just lets me misbehave in my dreams Cutting short the bullshit and the hunger for attention isn't easy no Please don't leave me hanging on If you're never gonna Take me way up higher If you're never gonna Knock me from where I'm standing If you're never gonna Set my mind on fire Play that note, until you start to decompose And reconstruct the highs and lows of your tune Because when answers aren't related to the questions asked, You've got to look behind a different mask for your clues Am I being honest, or is this just out of fear When you don’t even know for yourself, you might as well disappear I'm changing my colours; don’t want to say my last goodbye To whatever's tying me behind, to whatever's keeping me from losing my mind
8.
I’ve been living in a hornet’s nest; I’ve been living like a proud king I’ve been living in a broken mind; I’ve been living like a spoilt child Buying ribbons just to make a bow, for someone special that I don’t even know Hold your horses closer Feigning innocence and peace of mind, I lose track of what I leave behind I've formed a love affair with new beginnings, the underdog in me is used to winning I write fairytales that don’t make sense, because I’m too afraid to make amends Hold your horses closer The underdog in me is used to winning

Lead Feet 01:54
I don’t see you anymore I don’t hear you anymore The dust is clearing I don’t see you anymore My love, this time its over
10.
Paper Shoes 06:19
Maybe red is the colour of repair And when we bleed, we’re just learning how to fix ourselves Don’t they say you don’t fix it, if it ain’t broke? I’ll punch a wall to find out where it hurts the most A feeling of restraint I can’t define, it’s like a cease-and-desist The way you cage me up inside A part of me I’ve never seen before, is pulling at the doors That I’ve been meaning to explore Oh take me home and spread me out Don’t you know that I have the perfect alibi? When it rains I’ll be breaking off my chains I don’t feel guilty, and that has to be a sign A feeling of restraint I can’t define, it’s like a cease-and-desist The way you cage me up inside A part of me I’ve never seen before, is pulling at the doors That I’ve been meaning to explore A part of me I’ve never seen before is making its way up to the back of my mind
11.
Manic 05:57
The only way to lose your path Is if you want it too bad So take it easy don’t hold your fire Someday you’ll have what you never had It’s a one-way street there’s no return You can’t regrow the leaves you burn Don’t hold your fire, hold your tongue Your words can hurt more than your gun Because we live in convenient times We’ve learnt to live inconvenient lives Because we live inconvenient lives We’ve learnt to have inconvenient minds
12.
A glass of wine down in a living room, we’re playing games that we were meant to lose, And now you’re asking me questions We’re sitting close enough to start a fire, my heart is beating like a drum, Can you turn the kick down? I’m trying to listen We’re going out to see the eight o’clock, let’s make a quick stop at the liquor shop And then we drink till we fall The pillow’s not where it’s supposed to be, the sun will tell us when we’re done; I force my self to sleep when you go home in the morning We’re breaking the shoes in, at first it will hurt but in time the cracks and scars will heal, just wait one more step The song doesn’t want to be sung just yet, So tell me the story of how he broke your heart, I’ll hold you up and put you in a taxi, so feel free to kiss me before you get in Now we’re going back and forth, for what it’s worth, I really Don’t want to be just a spark in your flame So play your next move, I know you Don’t want to be just a pawn in my game You know we’ll be burning those bridges and all, ‘till we’ve fallen down, fallen out; We’ll keep slipping and sliding, until we fall in
