Indifferent
03:12

I’m a paranoid person, so I’ll give you all the compliments
And I’m a people pleaser cos I don’t want all the drama
And I act like I care when all I hear is nonsense
And maybe I don’t understand how my life brings you harm
Something here has changed but I know it wasn’t me
You say that I won’t stay the same but I don’t want the bother
You tell me you’re indifferent but you’re no different you see
No, maybe I don’t understand how my life brings you harm!
And with the lights out,
you look like someone I know, and if you
If you think you’re different
Maybe, but I can’t say it’s so
If you think you can make me happy
You’ll find there’s no such thing as luck and
If you think they’re chasing you
It’s only because you think too much
Being in the human race, I’m chasing my existence
Though I’m not in any rush to get in or out of life
I didn’t make my bed today, I’ll lay in it anyway
You can rest here too, but don’t think about it twice
Everyone has a song to sing, and no it’s not my fault
If yours is a sappy love song, yes I know I’m not a fault
You need to think more clearly before you get involved
I take no responsibility; won’t think about you twice!

Everybody's Home
03:12

Break down your borders,
feel the shame of your country
Raised to live in fear of an invasion
They're dangerous, and they're overseas
In a Post-Truth world, [I] don't know how to know
Who needs opinions, when they're made for you?
We're told to hate, and we're told to integrate
-in a kingdom so divided
Fear is blindness, got the same bones-
This is everybody's home
We're done with the lies, it's time to realise-
This is everybody's home
And we'll live harmoniously,
without your xenophobes
You must be lonely when you're out there on your own
News provocation spreads inferiority,
Raised to never trust a foreign language-
The way you speak never bothers me
In a Post-Truth world, [I] don't know how to know
Who needs perspective, when it's made for you?
We're told to hate, and we're told to integrate
-just in-case we're open-minded
Fear is blindness, got the same bones-
This is everybody's home
We're done with the lies, it's time to realise-
This is everybody's home
And we'll live harmoniously,
without your xenophobes
You must be lonely when you're out there all alone

Feathers
03:21
|

I can't explain it when it happens to me,
It's like the spark that makes us human
Leaves me burning internally
You'd like to lock me in a cage
And keep my feathers clean
I shouldn't like it, I shouldn't like it
It seems like my world is falling down
And I'm screaming without sound
Too afraid to be around
And everyone else can get by without me
Then I tell you I'm about to fall,
And I've never needed more help,
But something left me unsure
We're back at the start when I'm close to the end!
I feel like nothing,
And nobody can change a thing this time
I feel like nothing
And found my expectations were too high
You leave me empty, but I'll be fine…
My thoughts so fluid that I'm drowning in the sea,
Suffocated by my future fears, lost dreams and hidden memories
Slight change of weather pulled me in,
I'm nowhere to be seen
There's nothing like it, there's nothing like it
It seems like my walls are falling down
And I don't want to be found
I just hoped you'd be around
And nobody else would've mattered to me
Then I tell you I need to close the door,
As I'll never be adored
And you leave my words ignored, so
We're back at the start when I'm close to the end!

Thousand People
02:16
|

As we grow older,
Our heads start to bow
We played without fear,
Talk to nobody now
If I smile you treat me with suspicion,
And frown
But I'd do exactly the same-
It's the only way we know it!
So raise your head and open your eyes
To the people on the street
Wives, your husbands, friends for life
Oh- the people you could meet!
Don't turn away!
'cause you don't hear their voices
A thousand people- never more,
And one remains unknown
We're living in a time where we need over-communication,
We sell ourselves short day-to-day for the next notification
But loneliness will never cease to turn to desperation,
Well that's ok, we don't like change-
It's the only way we know it!
A thousand people never more
(and one remains unknown!)
How can we grow when we ignore?
(and you remain unknown!)
If you look through my eyes,
You might just feel connected
Too long a second, you can't take it
And you remain alone

Fick

Brick by brick, you build yourself a wall
But there’s no stairs, so there is no fall
Stick by stick, you pile them all
One big issue, though your problems are small
You never even tried, but you faked it and cried
And through all the lies, you expect them by your side
Brick by brick and stick by stick
You make me sick, and I think you’re…
Once upon a time becomes twice upon a time
And thrice upon a time becomes fucking forever!
“I’m going for a walk” becomes “I don’t wanna talk”
And if you say you won’t talk, then come to me never!
Quit poking at my spine! I can’t be paralysed!
I won’t give you my time! Cos what would I get?
What gives you the right to try and infect my life?
Don’t you dare waste my time! And you can come to me, never
Hit by hit, you prepare for a fall
They touched you, but they never even hurt you at all
Miss by miss, you keep trying to call
You got the right person, but you threw the wrong ball
You say you’re afraid of being afraid
You claim you’re not made to be untangled and frayed
Hit by hit and miss by miss
You’re aiming quick… Now isn’t that…?

Forget Me Not
03:09
|
|||
I sit alone and I know
when a thought of you is born
to keep myself warm
The needle in my mind
it digs and it grates and it scrapes
‘til this record is tattered and torn
I don’t know who I am
How I ended up in this way
Never was the type to fall apart
Shouldn’t fear cos if I disappear
I know I’ve done my time
And you’ll forget me not…
You won’t know who you were
How I ended up in your life
Now that we’re a thousand miles apart
When you know, you’ll hate this world forever
And when you fall apart
You’ll forget me not
I cannot cope
When I slam the door and shut the blinds
I can’t say ‘goodnight’
He buttered me up and then
He took a turn and stabbed me in the back
With the same knife
I don’t need your excuses!
If you’re feeling down,
Don’t take it out on me
And every time that I felt the rain
I just gave you shelter
Without regard for me

Disappointed
03:04
|

I don’t know how it happened but I
Never wanted to end up this way
A thousand thoughts, thousand lies are in my head
But I can’t find one good reason
I’m drowning in my tears -
My heart is bleeding every day!
I didn’t, now I wish you’d go away…
Throw me on the ground now!
Waste me if you want!
I used to care a lot but
I don’t think so anymore!
I can’t pretend that this is alright
I can’t pretend I’m perfectly fine
I hope you’re better now
I hope you’re happy now
That I’ve done everything you asked
And that’s the only thing, I guess, that makes me feel alright
I know that is not the end but I
Don’t think I will change for the better
A hundred days, hundred times I tried to turn
But now I’m sick of being nothing…
