Six Eight 01:45
My heart beats to a 6/8 rhythm and It sends my brain into a Sort of schism and I went to the doctor and he said I don't know Why you beat so fast but you move so slow It goes Heart beat heart beat Heart beat heart beat Heart beat heart beat Heart beat heart beat

Oblivion 03:25
We're falling down But we'll never hit the ground So why should we fear anything at all? I used to worry that I would die feeling sorry but then I wasn't even here ever at all So I kept my eyes closed fell out the window made a mess in the snow I've never felt so sure about anything that I was doing O, it's the same old same old Everything I am told Everything I don't know wasn't even ever worth knowing So why do we need to know anything at all?

I Got Rain 04:24
Eat the same food every day Read the same news every day Another man has revealed his plans again Tell me something I can believe All these mouldy tricks up my sleeve I got no say, waiting on your way again I don't care what you were before I just want you walking through my door I got rain coming on my way And I really need a change I don't know what it is that you think All of these opposing hints I got rain coming on my way And I really need a change How long can we play this game? All the dice rolls are the same Dismiss the Lord and you will end up bored again Aiming arrows at the sky When they hit, you will surely die In for the kill, firing at will again I don't care what you were before I just want you walking through my door I got rain coming on my way And I really need a change I don't know what it is that you think All of these opposing hints I got rain coming on my way And I really need a change

Tortoise 02:25
I feel like I'm in a tortoise shell trapped in solitary hell Sometimes I feel like a trillionaire but today the world just does not care I don't know what we're coming to What is the matter with you? And what's the matter with me? Why can't we be like we used to be? If you want to stay with me well then honey just stay with me If you want me to go away I wish that you just would say I don't know what we're coming to What is the matter with you? And what's the matter with me? Why can't we be like we used to be? Its hard to know what you should think Things sometimes just fall out of sync Blinded by the fork in the eye the important thing is that you were right I don't know what we're coming to What is the matter with you? And what's the matter with me? Why can't we be like we used to be? I don't know what we're coming to What is the matter with you? And what's the matter with me? Why can't we be like we used to be?

Postcard 02:21
If you're bored you should do something else Whatever it takes to not kill yourself If you cannot find peace in your town Do not be a afraid to have a shop around But whatever you do Save some for me Do you feel cold and without life? Do you feel disappointed with the hype? While the rain seeps into your holy shoe Hands of kids are always betraying you You want it all Save some for me And if you fail I wanna know What you will do If you're in hell I want a postcard From you Whatever you do Save some for me Did you really meet The devil yesterday? I would like to know what he had to say Was he happy with how things are panning out Or is he struggling with self doubt? You want it all Save some for me And if you fail I wanna know What you will do If you're in hell I want a postcard From you Whatever you do Save some for me

Kitchen Sink 03:59
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but it only ever makes my mind wander And they say that nice guys will finish last but it's just some other villainous farce They'll tell you that you should fear the friend zone but a friend is there to make you less alone But don't worry, time will tell but until then you'll reside down in hell And I just never know What's worth keeping and what should go A head like a kitchen sink Water so hot you can't even catch a wink Well I guess it's all well and good if I just ignore what's underneath the hood And I know there's no point in going to war 'cause it's the same old shit I did before Don't trust no false realities trust the only element that you can breathe And don't wait on all outstanding debts most promises are seldom kept And I just never know What makes my blood continue to flow A head like a kitchen sink A cracked pot a wet curry stink

Goddamn 03:04
I'm tired of being tired and tied to this life when life is so full of wasted time Work from nine to five for five sevenths of your life and evening on the couch then start again Live for the weekend when you'll get fucked up with your friends and when sleepy Sunday ends Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn Fuzzy little head all filled with scambled eggs a couple swollen eyes and a sense of dread Get up go to school decades of being a fool like a fish it's hard to breathe once you're outside of that pool Waiting for the end when you can get on with your plans but they will always change Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn And I miss being idealistic it's so boring to be realistic and you never get to stick it to the man Do what you are told until you're withered and old you used to be so bold Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn

I just want you to know that I'm going to go I just want you to know that I'm going to go I don't know when I'll be back Whenever things stop being bad I dunno how long for Don't bother unlocking the door I just want you to say that you want me to stay I just want you to say that you want me to stay Things have been pretty rough I never thought you'd call my bluff But I'm guess I'm out of luck if you never gave a fuck

A friendly face is what I'd like to see right now Please come home If space is a holy place are you part of it now? Please come home And there's nothing left for you to learn there And there's nothing you could possibly earn there And the ground beneath my feet feels at stake Please come home Have you read the news today Did you see it on TV? Please come home I can never tell what's fake and what's reality Please come home And there's nothing that you should ever care about And it won't be long until there's no way out When the world beneath your feet begins to shake­ Please come home

Microwave 01:54
Head to the shop and buy myself a microwave meal There is a two for one deal I miss my baby so much that it's making me ill I can't believe that this is real When I get home I just play games and go to bed Can't find a way to clear my shaky head I'm only happy when she's on the phone but then it's back to being all alone All that I want is to be cooking up a storm Something to make me feel warm Get some eggs and throw in tomatoes and corn There's always a little more Head to the shop and buy myself a microwave meal There is a two for one deal I love my baby so much that it's making me ill I can't believe that this is real
