No Lust For Life
03:58
|
|||
In need of change
I’ve been wandering through days
Lost the trail of life again
Dead moods repeat
Ingrained inside of me
No moonlit beach to be free
I’ve got a lifetime supply
But no lust for life
And I can’t seem to make it through the day
This is a cathartic analogy
But I can barely sing
I can’t figure out the rhythm or the key
Proclivity to mediocrity
Follows me
To sleep
Now spiralling
Comatose empty
Deficient avidity
I’ve got a lifetime supply
But no lust for life
And I can’t seem to make it through the day
And I’ll wake up from the dream
Where I’m at the bottom of the sea
Fill up my lungs so I can finally breathe

Hit The Ceiling
03:30
|
|||
I’m moving on for the second time
Packed up all of my things and said a few goodbyes
I’m heading for the smoke and a different light
I’ve been dragging my feet, keep getting left behind
But did you want to leave?
Bound for nothing sounds easy
Sat staring up at the lonely moon
Hanging low in the sky it sets my lunar mood
You can’t dream so far in light polluted skies
The noise rising up and sirens passing by
Take my sanity
On a shoestring hit the ceiling
Just lay me down in the ground with you
Or take me up to the clouds did you
Like the way that I sound did you
I took a walk along the dry sun bleached streets
Past the gutter grime, faceless nobodies
You can’t live alone in this big city
But I’ve lost myself almost certainly
And could you be with me?
Cause I said once you were pretty
Just lay me down in the ground with you
Or take me up to the clouds did you
Like the way that I sound did you
We yen for some escape but we end up losing out
We took a lot of shit so were heading underground
The daylight leaks right in what the hell are we doing now?
Cause this life will take some getting used to
This life takes some getting used to
This life takes some getting used to
I just can’t seem to get that used to

Stranger Daze
03:30
|
|||
I’m running without cause
And the effects they are never as strong
But when you see that man lying down in the street
With no food, no money and you still gave him nothing at all
We live in a strange town
And you shot me down
Just like a dog
In the dark
And don’t hang me out
On the fence
Cause I’m dry
Drink your liquid down
The one that makes you drown
Out your own beliefs now
Where nothing is real or here or now
It really drags me down
When you're not around
So I’m heading to the beach now
Were we ever all real or here or now
I’m walking out to the car
A 2am pickup is never too far
And when the feeling’s sweet, some ephemeral ease
Now I’m all washed up and I can’t make sense of it all
I live in a strange land
So just call me out
Say I’m wrong
But I’m down
And I’m not happier now
I guess I’m not
But I’m high
Drink your liquid down
The one that makes you drown
Out your own beliefs now
Where nothing is real or here or now
It really drags me down
When you're not around
So I’m running to the beach now
Were we ever all here or real or now
La da da da
La da da da

Memory Lane
03:53
|
|||
You called me out tonight and it was cold outside
Those stars they shine that everlasting light plays on my mind
Like games that we despise, and you could take me anywhere
That you like and I’d be yours for the night
This life will chew you up then spit you out once you’ve had enough
I found another person in this world that I couldn’t trust
Take a trip down memory lane just to see what you might find
Skeletons are kept in closets leave them far behind
I can’t fill my days they just pass me by
Feels like I’ve been waiting around to die
And it’s all unknown
Oh no
Alone
Oh no
Those dreams that you’ve had now fading fast, false hope in your eyes cast
Blue thoughts in my mind, reflections of a time
That we shared, almost liked and you could take me anywhere
That you like and I’d be yours for the night
This life will chew you up then spit you out once you’ve had enough
I found another person in this world that I couldn’t trust
I took a stroll down memory lane just to see what I could find
Those skeletons are kept in closets we’ll leave them far behind
I can’t fill my days they just pass me by
Feels like I’ve been waiting around to die
And it’s all unknown
Oh no
Alone
Oh no
Alone
Oh no
Alone
Oh no

Nothing's New
03:56
|
|||
We would walk for hours
In the dark when nothing mattered
To be young, but now past it
How did this happen so soon?
And the times they are a-changin’
Whilst my mind keeps on racing
Lifes a bore, so fucking useless
A lot of time spent in my room
Then I found this way to feeling better
Yea and it was you
I thought I’d found some love in you
I just didn’t know what to do
I’ve always hated forever
Cause it makes me blue
How could you live right through and through
Go on and on just like we do
And we climbed up the stairs
To the loft, we felt safe there
And we talked, you made me happy
But was I really? Who knew?
Turn a leaf, you’ll feel brand new
Let the sun rise high up over you
Don’t get lost, or you’ll be sidetracked
Keep losing contact with you
Then I found this way to feeling better
Yea and it was you
I thought I’d found some love in you
I just didn’t know what to do
I’ve always hated forever
Cause it makes me blue
How could you live right through and through
Go on and on just like we do
I didn’t mean to sound so (goddam) bitter
When talking to you
I just feel like nothing’s new
Don’t you ever just feel like nothing’s new?
And the sounds just come out, I’m not thinking about
Anyone, so run along, please let me write these shitty songs
I can’t get back, what I’ve lost, cause all the feeling has gone
What’s this life all about? I just can’t figure it out

Not So Hard
04:46
|
|||
Pick yourself up off the floor
Cause it’s not so far
Yea it is not so hard
And as the sun beats down onto the ground
Does it make you feel so small?
Does it make you feel anything at all?
So many people in the street
That you will never meet
That you’ll never know
And the road ahead it’s long not straight
Does that make you feel afraid?
Is there somewhere you can belong?
Cause we all have those bad days
And if you can’t shake that pain away
You’ve gotta pick yourself back up
In the morning
In the morning
Well some people will never change
Does that make you feel so sad?
Does it make you feel so mad?
And see your brother drunk now in the street
Is there something you should do?
He’s just the same as you
So pack your bags get on your feet
Cause there’s so much you could see
It will bring you misery
As the dawn breaks into a new day
Did you feel the winds of change?
Just crawl back up into your bed
It’s still morning
It’s still morning
Pick yourself up off the floor
Cause it’s not so far
Yea it is not so hard
