*Voice Note*
We all do it in our own time,
When I know what's going on, I'll get in touch with you soon anyway
Let you know how I'm going with these meds
It'll be like another, sort of, yeah second wave sort of vibe I would have thought
What is a summer, if you're not fucking with your brain chemistry?
It's just who I am
But yeah just keep me in the loop mate,
Let me know what's going on
*Voice Note End*
Take another way, to Nowhere.

Getting No Place Fast
03:37

I could never see
What it was you saw in me
But we've all had enough now,
Time is liberty
We've all had enough now,
Surely time's delivering
I would never be
What it was you thought i'd be
But we've all had enough now,
Time is liberty
We've all had enough now,
Surely time's delivering
I cannot see
Where I want to be
I'm not quite here
I know we will not align
We're getting no place fast this time.

Zombie

We know were way over our head,
I wish I was someone else instead
But I'd love to be,
Anywhere but me
Eyes working binoculars with no reach
A presence but nothing tangible to see
Save me from the zombie, darling
Keep me from the night time's frightening
Save me from the zombie, darling
Keep me from the night time's frightening
We know we're not over this yet
That was the scariest me I've ever met
But i've learned to be,
Okay with me
Hands working like they govern with no thought
Why hold on to something that i'm not?
Save me from the zombie, darling
Keep me from the night time's frightening
Save me from the zombie, darling
Keep me from the night time's frightening

Show me, there's nothing between us
It's okay,
There's love and there's beauty
It's alright, it's not far
Don't stray,
Too far from our home,
There's nothing,
To keep us together
But all things,
All things we've grown
Trust me, i'll be here waiting
It's my time,
To keep us from fading
There's no sign
Our fate has torn

It's Been A Long Haul
03:44
|
|||
|
Twisting and turning, my insides are out
Thoughts are all in doubt
Senseless and humid, I lie awake
My spine shakes
Sick to the bone, my ailments alone
It's hard to describe the mire
It's been a long haul back
It's been a long haul back
It's been a long haul back,
This time.
I must do this,
You must not fear it
But please never leave my side
Missing the feeling, I stare at the ceiling
I'm not sure I'm able to hide
But it's been a long haul,
It's been a long haul back,
It's been a long haul,
This time.

Let's try again,
Like we did as a boy,
Same street, different time
Longer legs but further to climb
Again and again
As we risk our mind
Don't give in to something that you don't even know yet
Don't cave in to something that you've only just met
My friend,
I'm just hoping for the best
I don't even know how I'm getting up yet
You might just crack to something that you thought you don't know yet
You might just fall to something that's been building up strength
Again and again,
As you lose it all.
My friend,
I'm just hoping for the best
I don't even know how I'm get getting up yet
My friend,
I'm just hoping for the best
I don't even know how I'm getting up yet

It's More Than Enough
04:11
|
|||
|
I can't find the words,
I'm a cliche but real,
I know you don't need me,
To say how I feel
Don't think that i'm hopeless
I'm just hopelessly yours
Waking alone, is not a home
It's just four walls
The whiskey's ran out
The year has been tough
But together we must be,
More than enough
More than enough.
Growing succulents
As fast as this winter,
But you trust me to get them there
No pain, no splinter
I'm late home from work
But you're keeping me fed
As an angel is sleeping
At the bottom of our bed.
It's more than enough
It's more than enough
It's more than enough.

To Where We Retreat
04:03

Have you seen all the news?
Turn on your screen and you'll see
Doomsday's back so it seems
But this time he'll get you for real
Don't try, and censor your view
Watch all the pain in lieu,
You don't matter at all
This number will one day be you
So darling let's run
Way over there
Where we're not seen
I promise you this
There's hopes and there's dreams
To where we retreat
Have you burned down what you know?
They're saying it won't be the same
I fall in line now i'm told
For this time they'll taunt and maim
Don't try and push through
There's safety in numbers you fool
You won't feel it all
I promise it's easier this way
So darling let's run
Way over there
Where we're not seen
I promise you this
There's hopes and there's dreams
To where we retreat

Respair
06:30
|

|
I felt it too,
Saw it conquer you
You think you're never coming back though
You are though, you are
You are, the one you thought you were before
I never thought I was in control
Step aside 'cos i'm off the wall
A moment now, a lifetime later
I will surrender, what i've been under
I never thought I was in control
(You know you are, though)
Step aside 'cos i'm off the wall
(You know you are)
A moment now, a lifetime later
(You are the one you thought you were before)
I will surrender, what i've been under

No one will reach you, if you're gone
No satellite will carry on
In not too soon, you'll see it clear
Those around, those not so near
An atom bomb that noone knew,
Will come along and speak for you,
My hometown's a graveyard, these days
Boys don't come of age
Another day, another soul
No point in giving all you know
We're only here 'cos we're not them
Another win for Bethlehem
No-one will reach you if you're gone
No satellite will carry on
In not too soon, you'll see it clear
Those around,
Those not so near
An atom bomb that no-one knew
Will come along and speak for you
My hometown's a graveyard these days
Boys don't come of age.
