Along The Moors

Just for your record
It's not your fault that
I'm not all there
Yet nor are you
True, is it true?
I'm a wizard
I'm a cowering fool
I'm a failure
I'm the one that
Just can't, get out
This mindset causes doubt
And it's hard to defy
A pain that sticks, it binds
But we could run
To the forest
Skip along the moors
Catch a jet plane
Over mountains
Fly across the seas
Flying solo
To a village
In a new country
It's doing my head in
It's doing my head in
It's doing my head in
It's doing my head in
Bolt for the rest-room
Staring out my fears
To defend my soul
To examine here
You'll find it takes it's toll
Mirages manifold
You think we're on a roll
Just get behind the wheel
You'll see just how we feel
It's not too clear
You got to take it slow
To get on [the horse] again
You got to take it slow
Well it's so
I'm walking on tip-toes
Well it's so...

Metamorphosis
05:25
|

A certain sense of insecurity
A certain kind of vulnerability
A certain sense of instability
They're calling from the farmland to me
Calling me to come home again
Stuck trying to fight this fear inside
But it occupies my time now
Just like a jacked psycho, I regress
I've built my own padded room, this summer
I'm just like an old man who forgets
Whistling the same old tune
The same old song
Curling up like a ball
Running the warmest bath
Slipping on your safest slippers
Let's a sleepwalk back now
This metamorphosis frightens me
So I'm locked in my cocoon, and there's no room
I'm just like an old man who forgets
Whistling the same old tune
It's all about bluffing
Gotta padlock your heart
And a small voice says:
"Gotta make a brand new start"
On your own
Find god
On your own
Gotta make a brand new start

Hold Yr Horses

Hands on the reigns charging across the plains
High in the sky my unicorn can fly
Trapped in a daze trying to find our way
Patience our virtue well so they say
We rot away
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just how it feels to feel so low
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just what it's like when you wanna explode
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
I'm trapped inside the scariest ride
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just what it's like to keep it inside
I sit inside with a carrot just in front of me
Tied on a string that's two feet out of reach
Please just decide if you really want a ticket to ride
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just how it feels to feel so low
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just what it's like when you wanna explode
You know
I sit inside with a carrot just in front of me
Tied on a string that's two feet out of reach
Please just decide if you really want a ticket to ride
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
So hard to wait when you really want something to be
So hard to wait when you really want something to be
So hard to wait when you really want something to be
So hard to wait when you really want something
I sit inside with a carrot just in front of me
Tied on a string that's two feet out of reach
Please just decide if you really want a ticket to ride
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly

Helicopters

What a big surprise
Six helicopters in the sky
They've come for you and I
A separation, ritual splice
The pilot's face I recognise
He's come to steal away a life
A life I thought which could be mine
The ??? descend tonight
Rushed to different isles
Now I've been forced to sacrifice
Escort to my exile
Pursuit it seems a waste of time
The car it speeds close behind
In back of limousines she rides
I'm bound, I'm gagged, I'm locked inside
The trunk I'm now confined
And it makes me mad
Look at what you've done
Abort your plan
The captain's won
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
Reassemble the equation and I can't pretend that
We refuse to function
Yes it's a mess
There is always one thing and then it's the next

I feel the pressure all the time
To be the diplomatic type of guy
That says sure everything is alright
And you can fuck me over anytime
But it's not how it's gonna be
Cos it's gone past disappointment
Now it borders on resentment
It's over
I'm gonna wrestle you to the ground
Cos you turned it into a contest
Seems the victory is almost yours
Bow down to my successor
It's time to go into combat
Put on your jousting gear and let's ride on
I've a trusty steed
The princess says that it's not defeat
But I positively hate you now
And I positively hate you now
And I positively hate you now
And I positively
And I positively hate you now
And I positively hate you now
And I positively hate you now
And I positively...

We'd just to feel
Slightly whole again
It'd be nice to feel
Kinda whole again

Greater Expectations
03:21
|

I just guess you'll have to find the time (Find the time)
To fit it in with the things that you really wanna do
It's like a proverb that your Dad would quote on such a day
Red, rapid flashing lights
The messengers keep calling you
To save the world by yourself
"We'll send a suit and cape"
Standard size, no wonder-guy
Dry your eyes and get flying
You gotta save the world by yourself
And we're not giving you any help
Just get it done right now
Just get it done somehow
I'm not a robot your can't switch me on anytime
You said yourself that you're tired of running the same old wheel
Your suit and tie sounds nice, seems safe but it's far too late
I got a belt and my underpants on the outside
Try to cancel the voices out
Make an attempt to process thought
You see there's no point to running, running, running now
Cos they'll just come to get ya
And you ain't go no super powers
We'd rather stay in bed
That have to stomach it
We'd rather stay in bed

Walk In A Straight Line
03:14
|

The story begins
With me and you
And if I was to tell the truth, I was always afraid
Of something not unlike this
It's just like movie
A short novella
We appear in every scene
Failed the screen test
Just making way for what comes next
I'm lost and you're misunderstood
Back from a trip to hell
(Well) I'm in mourning again
But I'm sure
That you could make it good
But let's not
Suggest that you would
Remember
The restaurants
The places
That we would frequent
You're taking him there
I tell myself I shouldn't care
You're course is set
You think it's divine
Walk in a straight line
Seems like you're holding on to it
But wanting to forget
It's fucking with my head
I think I'm losing balance
Like soaps on afternoons
Making sense of what you do
A change is overdue

Crepe-Paper Fortress
03:23
|
|||
Time to build a fortress
Around your soul
Time to keep those creeps out
From your home
I'm surrounded by vultures
Is what you'd said
Bows aimed at your heart
But their intentions are read
Moving on
Moving right along
Moving on
Moving right along
Sign says that we're through
You could pin it to my brick heart
Found a blanket to catch you
But now we're drifting apart
Restart, quick smart
