All in the Mind
03:36
|
|||
Nothing to see here, nothing to fix
Nothing that you or even I predict
Nowhere to turn to, no pill I can take
Cos nothing I taste acts as an opiate
You may think that it’s all in the mind ‘cos
Fighting it is the way I’m now defined but
The struggle’s real and it’s going down the bone
Take me home
You may think that’s all in the mind yeah
But I’m too weak to even throw you a line here
The fear is real and it won’t leave me alone
Should have known
It’s all self-inflicted, how can it be real?
How can it control the way it makes you feel?
I’d offer my friendship, I’d offer support
But don’t we just know that I’m the last resort
You may think that it’s all in the mind ‘cos
Fighting it is the way I’m now defined but
The struggle’s real and it’s going down to the bone
Take me home
You may think that’s all in the mind yeah
But I’m too weak to even throw you a line here
The fear is real and it won’t leave me alone
Coming home
Should have known, known

Scars
04:18
|

I see the scars of too many nights alone
I’m gazing at stars from the gutter I call my home
I pick through shards and pick the one that’s going to the bone
All the different ways that I can hurt
Cradle to the grave, come do your worst
Scars
Beaten black and blue, but with chances to refrain
More than I can chew, it’s coming back up again
I flick through the meds and land the one that’s going to screw my head
All the different ways that we can hurt
Cradle to the grave, come do your worst
Scars
These Scars, These Scars, These Scars
Bear arms, Old charms, These Scars
Through the looking glass, a glimpse of what’s to come
I’ve been saving in advance to disappoint almost everyone
I move through the bars, confront a guy that might just break my arm
All the different ways that they can hurt
Cradle to the grave, come do your worst
Scars
All the different ways that I can hurt
Cradle to the grave, come do your worst
Scars
These Scars, These Scars, These Scars
Bear arms, Old charms, These Scars
These Scars, These Scars, These Scars
Bear arms, Old charms, These Scars

Not Afraid
03:55
|
|||
Not afraid of crying, I leave that all to God
Not afraid of all the things that hide these fatal flaws
Not afraid of losing, I’ll never reach the heights
Not afraid of darkness unless it’s night
Not afraid of water, I’m shallow as it is
Not afraid of sharks ‘cos they don’t bite quite like you did
My fears are so concise, some say somewhat contrived
Sometimes I feel that they’re keeping me alive
My fears a just a ruse, something I pick and choose
Sometimes they take me in and out of the blues
Not afraid of science, it’s coded in my genes
Not afraid of knowing that the gold ain’t what it seems
Not afraid of water, I’m shallow as it is
Not afraid of drowning like you did
My fears are so concise, some say somewhat contrived
Sometimes I feel that they’re keeping me alive
My fears a just a ruse, something I pick and choose
Sometimes they take me in and out of the blues

Reigning Cats and Dogs
03:37
|

When the storm hits
I’ll deny what we know is true
I’m denying it’s me or you
who sponsored this
I’ll build my shelter
but not ‘cos I’m afraid
I’ll see in another day
if it’s better
It it’s better
What’s the weather?
What’s the weather?
What I’ve seen it still won’t shake me from deepest sleep
I’ll retreat back right into my dream
Where dark clouds can’t ever reign over me
I’ll build my shelter
Not because I’m afraid
I’ll see in another day
if it’s better
They might try to control me
But the truths are there to find
Just gotta trade in facts for lies
Take a look outside
Take a look outside
Watch the rivers rise
Watch the boats capsize
What I’ve seen it still won’t shake me from deepest sleep
I’ll retreat right back into my dreams
Where dark clouds can’t ever reign over me
Take a look outside
Take a look outside
Watch the rivers rise
Watch the boats capsize

Facing up to futures that are only in disguise
Slipping from the balcony whilst I gaze into your eyes
Climbing to the top but rarely looking up to the skies
Going into battle but armed only with the thought
that you’ll be waiting somewhere just to save me once I’m shot
I’m crawling underneath but so rarely am I keeping up, keeping up
I’ll spend 9 lives with you
9 times we’ll sink in the blue
And 8 times you’ll pull me through
I’ll spend 9 lives here
9 times we’ll ignite this affair
And 8 times you’ll still be there
Thinking that I’ll make it but then miss the final jump
Squaring up to strangers when I ought to turn and run
If fortune’s for the brave then come find me when my luck’s begun, begun
I’ll spend 9 lives with you
9 times we’ll sink in the blue
And 8 times you’ll pull me through
I’ll spend 9 lives here
9 times we’ll ignite this affair
And 8 times you’ll still be there

Gather in every single emotion
They’re about to fall to the floor
Just when you think you’ve got nothing to give then there’s more
The beating hearts, those crumbs of comfort
The ones not easy to trace
To laugh or cry? One second you’ll never erase
P.S. and P.P.S the prospect of PTSD
P.S. and P.P.S. it’s reaching for you and for me
Days and nights, turning over the
things that they can’t unsee
You soon lose the fight to set all your memories free
P.S. and P.P.S the prospect of PTSD
P.S. and P.P.S. it’s reaching for you and for me
P.S and P.P.S. soon paired with PANIC
P.S. and P.P.S. stop sending reminders to me
To laugh or cry? One second you’ll never erase
To laugh or cry? One second you’ll never erase
P.S. and P.P.S the prospect of PTSD
P.S. and P.P.S. it’s reaching for you and for me

Carriages at Midnight
03:25
|
|||
There’s a chef out in the kitchen
There’s a banker by the door
There’s a writer and her husband
And a guy who’s…I don’t know
There’s a place marked at the table
There’s an aura creeping in
As I stare down at the silver
she whispers, ‘outside, working in’ and
These are times you won’t forget
These are nights you thought you dreamt
These are people that you can’t believe exist
These are moments that you won’t want to resist
With carriages at midnight
There are children in the attic
There’s a mother who’s aggrieved
She wants to score her daughter’s stash
She wants to break up the unease
There’s a merchant standing up
He’s going to lead us through the wines
Film director’s already drunk
He just found out his father died and
These are times you won’t forget
These are nights you thought you dreamt
These are people that you meet then don’t exist
These are moments that you won’t want to resist
With carriages at midnight
With carriages at midnight and here they come
Your carriages at midnight
And here they come
Your carriages at midnight
Another one

Snake Oils
04:06
|
|||
Truth, at what cost?
‘Cos truth’s an inside job
‘Cos it’s not what you thought
You just got to search hard
But not listen at all
Truth, you can trust in me
But truth it don’t come for free
Try this elixir and see
Just pop some into your tea
And taste conspiracy
Take the snake oils and run
And wait for recovery to come
Take the snake oils and leave
Can’t suffer what you don’t believe
Truth, this is mine
Can’t you read the sign?
Won’t you buy my disguise?
The overlord of the flies
He’ll be landing anytime
Truth, it’s all about control
far down that rabbit hole
For all the people I troll
For all the lies that I sold
I’m not accountable, though
Take the snake oils and leave
Can’t catch what you never believed
Take the snake oils and run
Sill waiting for recovery to come

You Are What You Eat
03:52
|
|||
You’re using, consuming
all of the seeds that you believe
venerate you, might make you
somehow immune from all disease
Your indulgence, the stuff of nonsense
‘Cos it’s not the pills that make you strong
You are what you eat, but baby not for long
You’re searching, rehearsing
a taste that will make it all work out
You’re stirring, mostly blurring
the facts that science have long renounced
Your obsession, a life’s lesson
‘Cos it’s not the pills that make you strong
You are what you eat, but baby not for long
You are what you eat, but baby not for long
Come feed, come feed the hungry beast
Concede, just surrender to the feast

If You Were Here
04:04
|

The heroes that we never knew
cannot disappoint us with the truth
You pulled yourself away from us
Still we reach back to touch
It's always gonna be this way
We listen more when they’ve got less to say
And would we even recognise
a tired old look in your eyes?
Where would you be if you were here?
We sure as hell would not be waiting on the outside
A poster on a bedroom wall
perverts the blessed memory for all
Messiahs always die so young
But their trademarks live on
Where would you be if you were here?
We sure as hell would not be waiting on the outside
Where would you be if you were here?
We sure as hell would not be praying by your bedside

Away
Up into the sky
Come see them wave goodbye
Come see them leave a trail that runs dry
Pray
Or seek to reassure
That we won’t follow you no more
That we won’t simply shift this chaos off shore
And you might think we’re done
But we’ve only just begun
‘Cos your victory’s anyone’s
And you might think we’re through
But we’re coming right after you
You’re on the run, not on the move
Pause
A second to reflect
As you drag your troops back West
As you convince yourself you came out strongest
Wars
People think they’re won
But they mostly carry on
through proxy actions steered by some top guns
You’re on the run, not on the move
