Sounds Like Spitting Keep falling out with the city It’s getting easier now To kick hard and then just pass straight out See you later celebrator Where’s that bridge to myself? It got so boring I just had to ask Is this really what we’re doing now? Just smile and laugh A perfect fucking tragedy A song that bleeds I guess we’re just born to believe A shoe string of a dream We spit at then leave I guess we’re just born to deceive What’s the secret? We’ve been waiting for nothing? It’s fucking high time We get it right What’s the reason? Good god there must be a reason Well that’s just fine then But not alright. Change a mind again, I’m steady if you need a friend I used to hear it all the time Tell myself I’m fine until it’ll just go in.

Life In Reverse Throw me a line, Throw me a line. Fear chasing time, Throw me a line. Oh sit and settle, or sit and watch me first Look for a change, inches from hurt I like it better, than life in reverse Blocked out a moment, That should have changed me most, Tied to a time, aching to burst I feel it more now, Than when it happened first. Throw me a line, Throw me a line. Held back, choking on the ashes of what used to be your life, I’m so sorry that you had to hide, I hope one day you’ll be alright There’s no, point in doing something that you never really liked, You can plan and leave your life behind, As if you’ll ever get it right.
3.
Watching Accidents Oh what a day, To go running out of sympathy Watch them smile and walk away Keep screaming this Road becomes a precipice It’s too bad it went that way Ah brush it off, whatever Like you should know no better If you’re bored and tired of this Show it as you push your left foot forward I’m sick of hearing that’s just how it is Sick of hearing that’s just how it is Oh, to be real, To be actual in a world you can feel It keeps piling in Like watching accidents you know you can’t stop It’s too bad it went that way

Puncher 02:37
Puncher I hate that, it’s starting again It’s like exploding inside my head, Holding out to blow. It crawls right out through my skin When I’d never expect I feel those days when I feel those days I punched myself in the head I used to do it a lot I haven’t done it in years And oh while time repairs the most of it It’s still there and I’m still here To understand or pretend Another room full of just don’t get it Oh my god what a mutual misunderstanding Keeps me where I’ve been It crawls right out through my skin When I’d never expect I used to let it take me over, Thought I’d done with that itch Now I’m back where you were Before I’d ever escaped And feel those days when I feel those days I’ll tick along as if it never happened, Shake it off like I never cared anyway I guess it’s never too late I guess it’s never too late, to blow Hate that, It’s starting again It’s like exploding inside my head Holding out to blow

Livid / Rise 03:34
Livid / Rise Once again, a livid rise I can’t disguise so well Hits me hard as hell Yea we’ll change, All I count on now is that we lie Yet again, we’re striving to be ordinary Oh to exercise my brain How I’d love to feel excited again. Restless restless restless Dive right in, Bash your brain around until it’s fine Yet again we’re striving to be ordinary Oh to exercise my brain, How I’d love to feel excited again, You don’t care This draining climb, Fuck I’d rather pull my eyes out than wait out all night. Boring steady decline Not this time. We come unstuck and don’t know why, Waking up from time to time, “Oh it’ll be alright” You let go, you let go It’s too far to dream you know, It’ll catch up as comfort grows The same old songs we know You let go, you let go.
6.
Manicomio 02:38
Manicomio Could you please do that almost anywhere else? I’ll second guess the way you’re feeling Guessed you’d start to like the mess To feel you’ve got a grip believe or pretend It doesn’t matter if you get there It’ll change before you rest Still you think it’s funny that we Smile through this tiny distress I used to feel a lot like you I used to feel a lot like you My brain’s still ticking but my Mind’s more a burden than help The closer you get to yourself The more you shake from the stress There’s no one I dislike any less Just tell me that you hate that Please, just tell me that you hate them all I’m sure it makes such good sense Just say it’s good for us all Dull heads and blurred eyes here to glaze and protect As if there’s anybody in there Say you’re not like all the rest They bring the noise again The stupid city boys I couldn’t blame them there Seemed like no other choice A shitty mess to share Parades without a voice I couldn’t do much better I couldn’t do much
7.
Machono 02:34
Machono I keep forgetting how open All my friends you are not to rush out Not to play hard When we go out Give or take I’ll dance like a girl I see it better now They’re fucking out of their minds Is still still happening? It’s really happening To run into the old familiar That didn’t get that far couldn’t help it Don’t mean no harm We don’t discuss Living so close But so far apart I see it better now They’re fucking out of their minds Is this still happening? It’s really happening And you can carry it round Like it’ll never fall out What you do to me That’s what you do to me See it as your best disguise I see through it all along I can see you any time
8.
Neutral Haste We never, want to see however This ends but there’s no choice Here’s nothing, we’ll disguise as something Tell yourself you’ll be fine Big sets, they keep rolling in, And they’re heavy. That’s fine, I’ll say and resign, But I’ll feel it. Holding on, like you’re doing it wrong, Like it’s something you shouldn’t say. Oh when you feel that way, You just feel that way. When your colours running out, When you’re cold, distorted and nothing Fuck the ache that doesn’t doubt, Doesn’t care or reason for no one I am no one Holding on, like you’re doing it wrong, Like it’s something you shouldn’t say. Oh when you feel that way, You just feel that way.
9.
No Such Thing Sit aside and pretend to care, I’m sure that you would if you had time to spare, Like they’re already dead Are you already dead? Oh fucking hell there’s quite a lot to lose, You like breathing air? That’s funny, yea me too Keep pretending to care Are you really not scared? I guess you’re already, ready. A psycho vision of Arms around ideas of things you need, Don’t exist to the touch Oh yea who needs a reason now Hate’s a thing to trust Drag it round like informed concern For a people you love And as we’re suffocating One last, Ah fuckin hell.
10.
Here and Now 03:08
Here and Now Show me a better way Show me a living breathing exit with no pain Can’t you see we take ourselves too seriously Oh please not that again Looking for a reaction That’s enough Sounds like a million screaming children pleading Why do we do that again? Parents acting Mum and Dad It’s always been this way So that is that Looking for a distraction Sure enough, everyone needs a relief Tear your eyes away It’s just a screen Or an honest reaction is that so tough? Anything I can believe What do you believe?
11.
Breathing Games Keep my brain, I want another It gets worse as I get old I couldn’t bear to look again Scratch until it all comes off Little bugs that hold on Push them all away Whip crack, paranoia I feel it chasing again Short sharp radiations Shake and rattle on all day We got it all just figured out It gets worse when you know how Let it in, When you’re practicing your sin When there’s nothing wrong with anything Or let it show, I see it punching at your skull Or just hide and pray for anything Thank fuck I’m so bad at remembering Greedy thoughts they come around, Chasing what we’ll never have You could hope Change your skin and let it in Don’t chase a virtue to a sin You could hope
