Jazz Hands 03:31
Oh, I miss those days of youth When the only thing that mattered was drinking in the sun It’s this pining for freedom that unites us To get as far away as possible; the 15 bus Take a guess where I’ll be, come Saturday, I’ll meet you at the usual place This, it has been my consistent routine, since I could get some sleep, since I was just thirteen But I wouldn’t change a thing I might’ve changed just one thing It’s so Frustrating, we’ve ups and we’ve downs, with no weight on our shoulders, feet glued to the ground The door’s always open, we’re not turning round If it’s going to happen, it will happen now Now the ground beneath my feet is far from solid, far from concrete They say, “time’s ours”, just not to keep You think you’re in the deep end? Keep your head above water I wouldn’t change a thing

Progress 00:55

What ever happened to progress? What ever happened to forward thinking? “Daddy, buy me a tractor” The fashion’s changed The only thing I’ll ever care about is pre-modern technology I never knew that being a farmer shortlisted your dreams What a pleasant image, it’s not been done (That’s what you think) If only you could see yourself Gotta get me a waistcoat, New banjo strings, so we can get that twang just right Did something switch in the recent past? Like all good fads, this one’s gonna last Yeah, that’s what you think. That’s what you think
4.
So, it’s a beautiful day outside, you don’t have to dwell indoors (But the sunlight will burn my eyes) Pessimism leaks from every pore Poor soul, he’s been through a lot He had perfection but it seems he forgot that regardless of his self-indulgent beliefs the sun will still rise, life will still go on Things can only go up from here (A pessimist gets the best reaction) Exclusively, a plague on the first world (A pessimist gets the best reaction) A phantom fever that saturates half of the words (A pessimist gets the best reaction) That pours out an un-kissable mouth (A pessimist gets the best reaction) Now that it’s back in fashion (A pessimist gets the best reaction) Of course, heartbreak, we can all relate too We have a little mourn from time to time about our beatless hearts The smallest things have repercussions, I swear that nothing comes from nothing Do yourself a favour and change your outlook on life You feel the need to get these things off your chest Self involve, the way that you think you know best We’ve all got problems, but some things you keep to yourself Un-pleasantries, now plagued on everyone else Remember son, art never comes from happiness

If only I could have the chance to speak As a boy who cared if his life was on track To say I was out of it at the time (It means nothing to me) In hindsight the drama that it breeds could’ve been more clean What will this do for my reputation? It’s no secret that I’m not the victim That’s not what you’d think by the way I’ve been acting It’s no secret that I’m not the victim That’s not what you’d think by the way I’ve been acting Who am I to say I’m stranded? I treated you like you were out of fashion I’ll get what I get Now it seems every single time that I speak my words are thrown straight, right back on the tracks So now I’m lying through my teeth (It means nothing to me) I strolled right into a hive of bees, it was hardly the best of fun for anyone involved or affected If silence is your gift to me, it’s swelling up with irony since I never had the chance to tell you myself. That’s not how it happened. Ignorance pairs well with bliss, Raise your hand if you’re a victim You have every right to hate me Your innocence; the highest of treason Don’t worry, it’ll come round and bite me.

Bloom Into 03:49
I blew a kiss into the abyss and all I got was blackness back It seems so cruel to let us bloom into these things that try to improve the cracks Try open doors to archaic orchards None of that, we’re realists. Who are you to take their hope away? I’m a saint in comparison, regardless of the arguments, no more cryptic messages, solid and opaque. Lets all take an oath To never getting old Actions Words Some things are best left unsaid, unheard Your expectations bother me Nothing more than endless sleep If a saint were to disagree would you tamper with their faith? I blew a kiss into the abyss And all I got was blackness back.
8.
Capsized 04:14
Let’s start with the young ones, nip this problem in the bud Kill the source, kill the problem His only connection with his city, with his home, was a woman I never met He’d keep up with national news almost every day to see how his home had changed A nation on it’s head A nation capsized This is the place where I spent all my holidays A secure island, one hundred scholars died This is the place where I spent all my holidays How can this happen? How can this happen here? The truth is these worms are everywhere, eating our food, breathing good men’s oxygen
9.
Sustaining 03:35
Some things are born of dreams like doing this and sustaining The type of life that makes your parents proud Catapult something with substance against the wall, find a connection try and exploit something that I’ve loved for years until it bores me to fucking tears It’s nothing new, it’s nothing new, to try and voice your opinion on matters that you feel you could represent If you feel that you could follow through, to not accept their motivation you’re either stubborn, or just a liar Catapult something with substance against the wall, find a connection try and exploit something that I’ve loved for years until it bores me to fucking tears The chances are if you’re that stubborn you wont pass the walls of your bedroom, but who needs others? I do this for myself (well, that’s a lie!) Some thing’s are born of dreams like doing this and sustaining Credibility, the grass is always greener on the other side It’s quite hypodermic really, to suck all the feeling.
10.
Can’t pay to eat but the shines never better in the crystal ball that shows pictures of splendour, consume your own weight in poisons of pleasure It’s rare that we abide by the rule of ‘get rich or die trying’ The yellow brick road’s got enough cracks in the pavement for you to trip and break your neck, contort ambition into regret Tell me what could ever happen next? Tell me what could ever happen next? I’d love to paint a picture for you but the duplicate it just won’t be the same Home is where you haven’t got a care in the world
