Watch as I go Lean into shadows Moving away From inner battles Settling down Siphon it out (I don’t know how) Deeply inside Your brown marble ashtray Holds all you know But is it hearsay? Changing from now I don’t how You’re chasing around While I’m chasing it out

Our old shit is timeless Caught in the respite I wish that I was better Constantly nauseous Taking the same bite Eve thought that she was clever My mind is caught up in a landslide But there’s still space for you I’m sorry sometimes, I act like what I don’t like Take it out on you Samuel told me, he’ll do anything for money Then I found him out in the street Falling for me Get out, godspeed …Volatility My mind is caught up in a landslide But there’s still space for you I’m sorry sometimes, I act like what I don’t like Take it out on you (I set up to fall) I set up to fall But I can’t find anything at all Just lay down your space Contemplate and then resuscitate

As I said the pay check wasn’t nearly enough Alex and his old friends call my bluff They all wolf-whistled as a beautiful girl walked by But she held her gaze and didn’t reply On a Monday afternoon I often get up too late to Return your calls After work From the night before I whistle in my dream You shout to me But I can’t reply …All I do is try They say that things were so much easier in the 70s But you can’t relate and you’re looking grieved Adam plays his risky game with a pinch of salt As he stares out the window not to get involved On a Monday afternoon I often get up too late to Return your calls After work From the night before I whistle in my dream You shout to me But I can’t reply All I do is try… In the state of the world You’ll be praying to be careful what you wish for I shouldn’t have to go to work Good wishes Good wishes is what you wish upon my heart And you say… Good wishes Good wishes, I don’t know where to start (I don’t know where to start)

You want me? You better run away You’ll hate it Every day Those red eyes Watching you from afar The demons Push the back of your car Are you aware Society’s gone to shit? You say you don’t care You won’t miss it a bit But each time that you fall You’ll miss all tidings every time you go All you know Is imagined And every time that you stay You’ll close your eyes and see a setting sun Or a loaded gun It’s hard to remember

I met a girl who is so very beautiful With water and dirt coming out from her cuticles The pressure and sweat creates some glorious miracle That I do bear witness to all of it’s spectacle The vision I get coming out from the windowpane Describes all we have, in all before us lay But you call bullshit in everything that I portray I would say that’s it but you mean everything to me I’m gonna iron it straight out ‘Didn’t mean it like that somehow But the static on the TV speaks to me And manipulates me to do Bad deeds On that cold night, you asked for a picture But you said that I shouldn’t want to be seen with ‘ya So I professed my opinion on social identity And when I concluded you were looking away from me The impression I get when I study you honestly Is that you should reside in some colony of centipedes Disassociating that from all of it’s irony, You’re in favour of living amongst such serenity When she went inside, Tom said “She’s so mercurial” And then I swiftly replied “Some people just want it all” And then I realised that I Am just one of those people As I continued to follow you through the doorway Quickly No hesitation For another one-sided conversation With the love of my life (Rest in peace) I’m gonna iron it straight out I didn’t mean it like that somehow But the static on the TV speaks to me And manipulates me to do Bad deeds… And it manipulates me to do Bad deeds

It’s late out in the street You don’t know what your feet are saying So you go see what your friends are saying See if they wanna meet You don’t know why you’re people pleasing You just know something needs releasing You don’t know what to say So you just keep on saying Julie return my calls Julie return my calls Julie return my calls I can’t do this anymore There’s so many faces and they’re coming to life So many faces around me that are coming to life And there’s so many problems that are coming to light And I lay them all out in the flames Oh I lay them all out tonight I wanna get in a car with you and go for a ride In fact I wanna die in a car with you by my side You don’t make this easy Julie and that’s what I like I said you don’t make this easy and that’s what I like You said “Jake you’re my everything” and that was a lie I wanna do everything and take it in my stride If that isn’t everything then that isn’t right I imagined you next to me that entire night Impossible future, impermanent past Impossible future, impermanent past Listening on repeat with the flashbacks James Dean wouldn’t do that, I bet he was a cool cat I wish I was a bit like him with a hint of Mick Jagger ‘Cos maybe then you’d fall for me and drop the dagger You told me you appreciate honesty But when I told you you’re impertinent, your reaction was contrary I don’t think it’s working out Have you tried turning it off and on again? I’ve tried that about ten times But it keeps cutting out every time the news broadcaster says goodnight Or about that war in Doncaster Against a big Godzilla sized monster

Taking the ripe fruit out from the fingers of another The writing on your page comes with the prayers of a thousand mothers The writing wasn’t directed at you You never know what to do when you’re awake in the morning At four in the morning I’m always awake at four in the morning I prefer to be awake when no one’s calling my phone I’m always awake at four in the morning I’m always awake doing fucking shit Nobody knows what I’m doing Not even I know what I’m doing Eyes transfixed on the moon When I’m awake at four in the morning No one knows what to do “Saviour,” you say Because…

The sky went dark over my head And I could not complain About anything but hate I’d just wanna go to be And rest my tired head But that would never be the case But then you came into my life And erased these thoughts completely It’s all fantasy what you make of me Then the sun went down again And you could not complain About anything but I Trying to make good use of a life Or I’d curl up and die Eternally wondering why: You sleep lying on your side And if you cry thinking of me Conversing untruthfully Saying I’ve left it be

So now It’s written in the pages And written in the clouds I’ve been sitting here for ages Don’t let it freak ya out ‘Can’t count how many times I’ve seen that look on your face Complaining about a raise The same thing as yesterday I said it for miles As we drove down the M1 I said it for miles All the way to Nottingham It’s written in the pages And written in the clouds It’s written in the stars Prophesized for you now You just say you’re tryna’ help out: “Just tryna’ put words in your mouth” While you reconcile with fixtures And people who sell out Studying the scene What do these conversations mean? When it’s not taken boldly And purely partially I said it in your car I said it in your house Or maybe I should Just start spelling it out Talking ‘bout your job Or talking ‘bout your cat Fixated on the mundane Which is not perceived as that I said it in your car I said it in your house Or maybe I should just start Spelling it… I said it for miles As we drove down the M1 I said it for miles All the way to Nottingham

(Hold on to feeling like You ran away from home With your voice still on the phone And your mind still racing on) Hold on to feeling like You ran away from home With your voice still on the phone And your mind still racing on Pour me a drink And we will wrestle up the stairs And I will wear nice underwear For a change You won’t say it’s nice But it’s better to try Tracing the steps From the river to your house Imagine water flooding out Carry me away until the drought Bright speckled light Reflects upon your golden hear As I watch sparingly sitting there Across the room You’d never look back But it’s better to try Feeling weightless Passing statements Contain no substance Baseless and faceless On the surface Brain flutters, useless You shudder in the mist As I walk away aimless (When I’m bored I sing better in the night Imagine everything was better in my life) (Turning away from love Turning away from loathe… Turning away from When you hold it in your chest) Julie always knows best

The face in the middle Is chasing our hearts into the ground The face in the middle Is making a sound Starlit eyes On a moonlit night And your eyes just stared up at the clouds But you fully ripped our hearts out that night Creature comforts And microwave meals And dirty worn out old socks But you changed the way they come and go The face in the middle Is chasing our hearts into the ground The face in the middle Is changing now But I can’t remember It taking this long to figure it out The way that you’re moving Is tweaking me out Do you remember that time we wrote our names on the back of that fast food leaflet? Do you remember that orange bracelet? Do you remember fighting about some stupid shit? Probably like who left their shoes on the living room floor Or that one of us keeps expecting more I’m not sure (I’m not sure) Won’t you be there? It’s all flooding back in, somehow But you don’t live there now Rescue me from The fool that put you into this place And take it day by day The face in the middle is chasing our hearts The face in the middle Runs circles around But you know I won’t romanticise hate And you know I won’t change ‘Cos I don’t want to And I don’t want you To go (To go) Rescue me from The fool that put you into this place And take it day by day
