Face down in the dirt, love
'Cos I've seen the lies they sell
They used to say that everything has got its reason
And they think it's for the best
Don't you think it's painful?
The way the world turns round
And how it takes and takes the things that mean the most
(Or maybe I've just got it wrong)
And kills them one by one

When I sit on top the world
I watch the sky fall down
And turn to black and fade
If I ever knew
Would I ever lose?
If I only know
Oh, what could I do?
To help myself get through it
There are many things I could have been
Sailor on a ship that never leaves
I could be alive and well
Inside my head is a hole
(For all my life)
And it's a shame it's such bad form
(For all my life)
To let yourself get into it
I'm leaving all of my self
To the dust and the worms
Lay down my head for good
And all that I have been
Is lost on all the insects that find good use for all my bones

Seven Pairs Of Lungs

I'm falling
Like circles on my hand
Captivate me
And tell me where I stand
Every tree on this plane shrivelled to its core
And now the woods don't feel the same
So I don't go there anymore
Tell me
Why I feel the same
Time and time again
Keep it on the low
And leave it on my own
Why I feel the same
Time and time again
Keep it on the low
And leave it on my own
Keep me in the know
All I ask if everything from everyone I know
Every life that I lead circles round again
Waiting on some kind of punchline so that it all starts making sense
To me
Why I feel the same
Time and time again
Keep it on the low
And leave it on my own
Why I feel the same
Time and time again
Keep it on the low
And leave it on my own
Little fingers in my eyes
These are things I shouldn't hide
Maybe I'll go find the time
These are things I shouldn't hide
Why I feel the same
Time and time again
Keep it on the low
And leave it on my own
Why I feel the same
Time and time again
Keep it on the low
And leave it on my own

Pirouette

Black birds perch a flock atop my
Sandbag keep that keeps me safe at night
Twisting both my arms around me
Yellow beaks conspire against my every move
I'm falling off the world
This time
I'm falling off the world
This time
These two eyes they work against me
Shapes and colours pirouetting round my head
Pray to God the black bird flies and
Leaves two arms and both my eyes intact
I'm falling off the world
This time
I'm falling off the world
This time
I'm falling off the word
This time
I'm falling off the world
This time
Still ten fingers on my hands
I make a dash towards the railway line
Far from home but I don't mind now
Safe from harm the black bird cries out loud
If you see me underwater
Do me a favour and let me be
If you see me on the wall
Do me a favour and let me be
Alone
I'm falling off the world
This time
I'm falling off the world
This time
I'm falling off the word
This time
I'm falling off the world
This time

It's just the same idea that you had over and over
And it's a sentimental thing you can't let go
We'll ride a wave, get out of the loop and live underwater
Where all the lights stop making sense and colours fade
It's just the same mistake that you made over and over
And it'd be an idealistic attribute to quit
But I keep walking the same line that leads me homeward
Because it's times like these when I just seek comfort

Mutiny!

There's not enough time
For this to get old
Snow falls slower in the films
Hurl down the a-road with
Hands on my eyes
This is how I know I'm real
If there's a problem with the steering
I hope it can wait
'Til I'm sure
If theres' a bone inside my body
That isn't afraid
I'll let you know
If there's an ocean where we're going
Lay me on a lilo
And break my legs
Come to admit that this body of mine
Breaks while terrified and ill
Lay in the open and yell at the sky
Is this how we say goodbye?
If there's a problem with my hearing
I hope that you'd say
And let me know
If there's a bone inside my body
That you couldn't break
I'll let you go
If there's an ocean where your heart is
Lay me on a lilo
And bind my wrists
I let the waves take me away
(I let the waves take me away)
Whatever I become
Is what I'm meant to be
And I'll deserve everything
That happens to me
Is there no-one else?
Is there no-one else, no-one else?
(I let the waves take me away)
Whatever I become
Is what I'm meant to be
And I'll deserve everything
That happens to me
Is there no-one else?
Is there no-one else, no-one else?

Look Me In The Eyes
03:25

For the love of God
Write it on the walls
I've been around for a while
And I've seen it before
He took my hand and said
"The past is in the past, don't keep yourself up at night"
I don't sleep anymore
Look me in the eyes
For the love of God
Write it on the walls
I've been around for a while
And I've seen it before
He took my hand and said
"The past is in the past, don't keep yourself up at night"
I don't sleep anymore
Look me in the eyes
When you apologise

Lot To Talk About
03:33
|
|||
|
Got a lot to talk about
But not a lot to say
That's anything of use
Or anything to you
So I'll keep going on
About the same old shit again
Still I wait for something more
I'm waiting for the day
When it starts getting easier
Oh do us all a favour
And don't let me out the house again
Hang on to your head
Hang on to your head
This is really happening
Got a lot to talk about
But not a lot to say
Oh someone take my phone away
And drop me in the nearest lake
I'm going on
Just like we said I would again
Hang on to your head
Hang on to your head
This is really happening

Too Little, Too Late
04:42
|

|
Oh, hand of my God
Strike me down
If it's all the same
Oh, dragonfly
Don't fail me now
I feel I've changed
Too little and too late
Take the old way home
With me
This one last time
Disconnected all I see
I feel I've changed
Too little and too late

I slept like a doll last night
The morning came to me just like that promised light
The further I go the less I try
They don't want you when your down
And they don't want you when you're high
The light of my life don't fade
You mean so much more to me than I could ever say
If I ever go then it was my mistake
Am I doomed to live out all my days with this goddamn look on my face?
And it's gotten so, so cold
I wanna make my daughter proud
I wanna see her grow old
But I just don't know
I've fallen behind and I can't keep up anymore
My hands are tied
I don't want this anymore

Too Late
04:13
|

|
Talk quick
Talk away
Just don't talk to me that way
Don't try me on
To have your way
This thing will eat you whole one day
It's too late
Cut down
Hide my face
I think it's working
Maybe I've changed
I ain't the better man at all
And that's not okay
But at least I know when it's too late
It's too late
