Lay your head in my hands I hope you understand I am an honest man Glasses hide your eyes A killer in disguise But I can see you smile Spin this 45 We’ll get to the end of it Swim in summer sun Dance to the little ones What have I become? What have I become? (No more) What have we become? (Nothing else can save you now)

Daylight 03:26
Can’t it wait till morning, we’ll never find it now Where is your mind you say But there’s light in your eyes, and dark in your hair And everything goes by so slowly Until There’s nothing in the memories There’s nothing in the thoughts There’s nothing in the lights we saw But I still see them, and I still know You’re a part of me, and you’ll never let go Until daylight kills us where we stand And daylight knows who we really are In the silence we can shine, but it’s suffocating us And now we’re older, you’re still here Nothing more, nothing less Do you not see that we’re out of our minds (Why do all colours fade to black?) Do you not know that they’re into our dreams Can you not tell that we’re just shadows But it’s fine Do you not see? Why do the colours fade? But I still need them
3.
Wrote your number down With one too many threes It does no good to touch on wood It's just a waste of trees But they don't make a sound If no one ever sees They hit the ground, no one's around No soul to tell us when we fell to our knees Hell might as well just freeze Lies pour from your eyes When you cry, you cry yourself dry Why do you choose to voice out loud What you know should not be said (Just to please the crowd) Must be so proud (well we're all wowed) Such ugly clouds to spill from that pretty head Shrouding a wood long dead Lie like any liar should Fry in the fire Would wires get crossed When translation's lost Pigs in infernal frost Just might fly Ice will cover your eyes If you try to hide it inside
4.
Fall Away 03:43
The last beat of a heart Two knees fall to the floor The fears long concealed come to life The tears long restrained find their storm Waiting for the cold to let us live Waiting for the dawn to break We’ll fall away to the time when we knew the world ‘Cause we need to feel again So don’t fall and break if you don’t know which way to turn ‘Cause we’ll find a way through A room without a sound A door without a smile And I never said thank you at all And I never thought you’d go
5.
Have 03:26
Find a way to see through all their tears Each time we tear them down We’ll be scratching on this sky that keeps us here From all that we don’t have And I wish you didn’t scream so much And I wish you didn’t care There’s more to this than this Take more from this than this You’ll see Everyone has their time But what is it you have? Everyone has their chance Everyone has their own Taking part and always have, in your own sad ways We want everything, and we’ll find it here Take what you don’t need Everyone has their time Everyone knows their place Everyone understands You’re too late
6.
Square 04:39
The wires and cables they left on the table Are all tangled up in a mess And fairytale fiction's relentless addiction Is one woman wearing a dress An artist’s confession to endless obsession Is carving a hole in the frame And mirrors distort, they portray what they ought to Present as exactly the same You’re square, filling the silence with moments of violence You’d scream and no-one would care The perfect depiction of pure contradiction So find where it no longer strangles between all the angles Until you’re riding on air The only one there The lines in the traffic and radio static Are blockages in a refrain And abbey bells sounding and coffee cups found in The plastic bags tipped in the drain Are pieces of mind discarded through time From the worlds that they try to embrace And lines in a crack on a wall grow from lack of attention Like lines on your face Obtuse, narrow, rounded, straight
7.
Driving, my head held to the sun You'd never know that I'd have Gone and killed someone With my sawn-off shotgun I never thought the sky could look so red I never felt so high because you bled I filled you with lead Before you came I never felt the fear It’s all I have now you’re not here Still high on speed and low on beer (I’ll get you next time Batman) To all that’s past I raise a glass Hope it don’t bite me on the ass You go too fast, you’ll never last Help me, because I’m gagged and bound You’d never know that I’m screaming Because I make no sound And I won’t be found Touch my balls or die, I thought you said Wrong, so here I lie, soiled and dead I gave you head
8.
Clawing at the hands again When will they let me go this time? I am on your mind and always in your grasp And you are all that I have left And it’s really not my fault That you do these things to me And I know that there’s no reason But I always seem to stay Is there nothing else to do these days But stay in here, colliding with these walls? But I remember smiles, and I remember laughs And they’re just a memory In this violent new embrace And I know that there’s no reason But I still long for your touch And it’s really not my fault That you take everything from me And I know that there’s no justice But I always feel betrayed It’s tearing me apart That you’ve become my enemy And I just want to be faithful But you’ll never us last And it’s really hard to breathe When you’re caged like an animal And I just want to break free Here I come, oh no It’s not my fault
9.
Blue Glass 03:07
This is heaven All I ever want to do I’m in heaven Broken at the gates of truth Need that fix to get me through You are, you are You are everything This is heaven No-one here but me and you We’ll go to heaven I can take you somewhere new Another shot of sapphire blue
10.
Kim's Game 04:04
See what lies before you, make a mental note So many fish in the sea, gonna need a bigger boat But it must start to bore you, trying to stay afloat You’re gonna need water wings ‘Cause the tide’s up to your throat You wanna meet with the king Then you gotta get past the moat But I can swim I don’t need Kim’s Game To remember every face and name I’ll take the fame if it’s all the same to you I’m on the A-list of everyone you’ll never kiss So don’t look now So you’ll never know what you missed Is a passive bottom on your checklist near the top? Does an average-size dick Mean you’ve got the pick of the crop? And do you know you’ve got them When their trousers start to drop? But then you’re late to learn that the pork could use a chop It’s got some weight to burn, better return it to the shop But I am slim Do you wanna play with no strings? Pull a few and then grab your coat (It’s not over yet) Well it’s the fat lady who sings But there's something stuck in her throat Could it be him? I think it’s him Could it be him? It could be him What can I do? To the back of the queue
11.
I can’t remember the moment we first met (Does anyone?) But you and I were as close as any bet We haven’t won but we’re learning To face the sun without burning (Does anyone) know the yearning To start at one Can we start again? Do you remember the time you said you’d be a vet? Well we were kind to the animals and yet We broke the seal Do you feel strange? Do you feel it’s time to turn the page? (But it’s still the sun) We’re returning What have we begun? The books will close, the sun will set Who really knows just how to get To where it rose, we won’t forget To push the big reset
12.
Tailgating 02:38
You look better in the strobe light It means that I can't see that look in your eye That says you know I'm a liar But you'll still dance with me tonight Breathe it in No-one ever wins Don't act like it doesn't show You won't be leaving this place on your own Lock the doors, hide your heart We all look better in the dark It's not enough to take you home ‘Cause I know that the dawn is coming quickly And I hope you'll let yourself forgive me But I am not safe on my own And in the morning we won't look so pretty We are strung out on this broken city So let's keep up this pretence No-one wants to be alone when the music ends Can't you see that it's alright? It's all that proves that we're alive We are dying in this city
13.
Is there a way out of this sorry state? Can we not go back the way we came? I am your armour and you are my light But it doesn’t always feel that way And it’s happening again I turn my back, you walk away I don’t know why we try so hard But don’t leave until I don’t say goodbye Is there a reason to keep this alive? Worlds fall apart but time moves on I am a nightmare, and you are a curse But I know we still have something left
