Again
03:33
|

Day and night, you're keeping right but feeling pretty queer
It's a camp interpretation of a very kitsch idea
You want to see the Doctor, but you're going nowhere near
So much booze, you're gonna lose, but your reputation's clear
Writing down your feelings with a multi-colour pen
Questions coming thick and fast; starter, now, for ten
Buzzing round in circles, so you don't know where or when
It bubbles up inside of you and here we go again
Oh
Oh, no
Here we go again
Elaborate and speculate, 'cause no one knows the truth
Scrabble round the same old town, searching for the proof
A tiny, manic facial tick to demonstrate your youth
"Turn that fucking music up, it's time to raise the roof"
Furtive glance, take your chance with a lonely hen
Partying because you are the Monarch of the Glen
Competition, superstition, wary of the men
You're a star, so to the bar and here we go again

Lost
04:22
|
|||
Time ran out
Somehow, the time ran out
And I was led astray
Somehow, I lost my way
I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am
There is no path to find
I think I've lost my mind
Feeling round
Trying to touch the ground
Stuck in this endless maze
Feels like I've been here for days
So many faceless men
I don't know where or when
Feeling so drawn and pale
Set myself up to fail
Smiles
Come at such a cost
How
I
Wish I had what I've lost
Now
Stability
I need stability
There's too much chaos here
I wish I could disappear
From this disjointed place
I'm not gonna win this race
Going on that which passed
I'm gonna come in last
Wind and rain
Composure hard to sustain
Challenging elements
Antagonist fundaments
Summon the strength to win
Against the evil within
But things are not what they seem
Inside this fever dream
Smiles
Come at such a cost
How
I
Wish I had what I've lost
Now
Will
I ever see my way through
Here?
This
Is making me do what I do:
Fear
All the things I've lost

Mendaciloquent
03:52
|
|||
Here's one thing you never knew
I'm so much better off without you
Second guessing every word you say
I didn't think there'd be a different way
You didn't mean it
I didn't believe it
Some things are just self-evident
I can presume now
We'll not resume now
'cause you're so mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
Mendaciloquent
I'm not one to twist the knife
I'll just let you continue with your life
You go on and do the things you must
And I'll go and find someone I can trust
No "lo siento"
No faux memento
You lied with such eloquence
But that's all gone now
Time to move on now
Down to your mendaciloquence

Ambivalence
04:22
|
|||
You're a thunderstorm causing a rainbow
You're lightning in the snow
You're catharsis in a tragic movie
You're burning in the afterglow
I see it
I feel it
Polarised opinion
It's order
And chaos
This is your dominion
I would walk out, if you'd allow
I would quit you, but I don't know how
You let the demon and the angel play the game
And I've become the same
You're the problem and you're the fix
You're the banality in the tricks
You're the highest peak, the lowest valley
You're the transient in the mix

Optimism
04:21
|
|||
Some have an air of professionalism
But it's backed up by sciolism
I don't care for solipsism
It doesn't fill me with optimism
Give me your card, I'll save it for later
Give me a drink, I'll have it now
Give me your time, you'll see I'm a waster
I know you're on the prowl
You can nag me
Humblebrag me
I can see you're so transparent
Rather lame, now
Drop a name, now
Desperation, so apparent
Just come around, we'll write it together
We'll set it up, take the world by storm
This partnership could last for ever
This isn't quite the norm
Check my iPhone
Waiting alone
I can tell you're never showing
Send an email
Set up to fail
Nowhere is where we are going

Alliteration
04:20
|
|||
Some say sex is a silent slaver
Love leads losers from lost locations
Money may modify my behaviour
I can't avoid alliteration
Pronoun
Verb
Adjective
Conjunction
Adverb
Noun
Interjection
Preposition
Co-verb
Co-ordinator
Contraction
Pre-verb
Subordinator
Some say sex is a silent slaver
Love leads losers from lost locations
Money may modify my behaviour
I can't avoid alliteration
Talk to me to treat the trauma
Words will win without waging war
I insist I'm your informer
Don't dodge the danger
Don't close the door

Susurrus
04:57
|
|||
I hear you
I hear you
I hear you
Susurrus
Turn it up
Fill the space
Feel the touch
On your face
|

Outside
04:19
|
|||
On waking up
I see your face
My mind won't stop
It sets the pace
Crashing around
From thought to thought
The lessons learned
The lessons taught
But life's too short
And then by day
People I meet
They're just the same
They're on repeat
And endless sea
Of shaking hands
Here to fulfill
Their sordid plans
The sycophants
There's a cloud over my head
Filling me with dread
No one knows it's there
I'm smiling on the outside
Talking to myself
I don't need your help
Knowing that you're there
Makes all the difference
When I lay down to sleep
I feel the great divide
And all I ever need is
The warmth you can provide
Too hot, too cold
Too up, too down
Too wrapped up in my mind
Too good, too bad
Too soon to see what there
Can be to find

Survival
04:45
|
|||
Another day another night
If you're gonna do it, do it right
We always said we do it
Do it now (echo)
Can we make our hearts one heart?
Or could this be time to depart?
But if we're gonna do it
Do it now
Remembering a time gone by
I never wanted this to die
But if you need to end it
Do it now
Remember all I offered you
I could make your dreams come true
If you can get that elsewhere
Do it now
But we should stick together now
Work through it all somehow
We have the strength to stage a
Revival
We can make a brand new start
Or you can try to break my heart
But I'm so adept at
Survival
Heart to heart and mind to mind
I know I didn't waste my time
But if it still means nothing
Do it now
I know that I can seem so cold
And I know what you've been told
And if you wanna believe them
Do it now

Oath
04:27
|
|||
We took and oath
We made a vow
It's come to this
I don't know how
Forsaking others
You and me
Promise exclusivity
Now my heart's the darkest place on Earth
I saw the oath for what it's worth
They're only words; I'm only me
Absolute disposability
We said we'd never
Fall apart
And then I let you
Break my heart
I can't forgive
I can't forget
Day after day
With this regret
Now my heart's the darkest place on Earth
(Darkest place on Earth)
I saw the oath for what it's worth
(What it's worth)
They're only words; I'm only me
(I'm only me)
Absolute disposability
(Dispose of me)

You
04:02
|
|||
Breathe in, breathe out; make no noise
I've heard you talking in your sleep
You're hanging out with those boys
The ones that think that I'm a creep
But they don't know me like you do
There are things I never show
But you're my confidante, it's true
And only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
Only you know
I keep my cards close to my chest
It's how I feel secure
I think we both want what's best
But I've got to be sure
It's more than merely trusting you
So much deeper we can go
Understanding all the blood we drew
And only you know
Only you know
It's our conspiracy of two
They just don't understand
When they see me with you
Your hand in my hand
But they don't know me like you do
There are things I never show
Losing all the blood we drew
And only you know
Only you know

Entropy

The universe tends from order to chaos.
I call it fun.
You may call it
Entropy
