1.Sore Thumb
Retrace all my steps, which helps when I start to forget.
You said that to me, like the stories the thoughts never see.
I pray my whole day, to see what disasters we live that could
call out her name and then wait,
let's see what comes crawling back, and I recover....
2.Through The Dirt And The Gravel
It's one for the will.
I'm already laughing give me what's mine and I'll go.
I've covered the course to my only funeral its back to the
drawing board. And I'll run.
I have soared higher than eagles.
But nothing compares to the feeling of being unstable.
I've climbed onto pieces of dead green.
I have always clung on to the things I have closest around me.
I have stumbled through the hills, and now I'm in trouble...
It's one for the will.
I'm already thinking give me what's mine and I'll go.
I've covered the course to my only funeral its back to the
drawing board.
It's one for the world.
I'm already laughing now...
Through the dirt and the gravel in the ground...
In the wild and ever...
I stumble in the ashes of winter.
And they'll piece us together again.
They'll stammer and stumble our way.
It'll always be better to go,
then always be making amends.
And they'll piece us together again.
They'll stammer and stumble our way.
I'll always be making amends.
It's one for the will.
I'm already thinking give me what's mine and I'll go.
I've covered the course to my only funeral its back to the
drawing board.
It's one for the world.
I'm already laughing now...
Through the dirt and the gravel in the ground..
3.Boy In The Backseat
I buried my head in the sand
There's no use in us making plans
if there's breath in my lungs
I'm keeping myself to myself
Still gathering dust on that shelf
It was breath my lungs
And there's war to be won
..
And this doesn't matter to me
as long as I know I'll still breath
if there's breath in my lungs
Then there's wars to be won
I'm buried my neck in the sand
There's no use in us making plans
if there's breath in my lungs
Been keeping myself to myself
still gathering dust on that shelf
because I'll still be that boy
the boy in the backseat
..
And this doesn't matter to me
as long as I know I'll still breath
if there's breath in my lungs
Are you happy?
Are you back at your home?
...
.. all I control
4.Circles And Squares
And I've been walking in circles and squares
and circles again
Kept chasing my tail
it would help if I knew where it ends
And life in a coma
could be quite fun
And I could play architect
and nobody's son
Where are we going
its still warm outside
I'll open those curtains
straight in my spine
And I've been walking in circles and squares
and circles again
Kept chasing my tail
it would help if I knew where it ends
I followed that dark horse
to see where he'd go
Straight through the forest
and out on to the road
And where are we going
its still warm outside
I crept through the front door
and into the night
Where are we going
its still warm outside
I'll open those curtains
straight in my spine
Its a dark light
when you're always staying inside
Its a dark light
when you're always staying inside
holding the telescope
5.Hard To Remember
With her elbows on her table
And her eyes lowered in her battle
Should we carry on when you're tired of your old thing?
The one you see every morning
And I'll keep on yearning
You can't work and whine
Your love is a mirror
It's hard to remember a colder November
Sink my teeth in to frustration
If you've got boards why don't you use some?
Get up early pound those pavements
You should carry on when you're tired of your old face
The one you see every morning
And I'll keep on yearning 'cause I'm always right
Your love is a mirror
It's hard to remember a colder November
It's hard to remember a colder November
I led all my lambs, I led all my lambs to the slaughter
They were gasping for air, for life, for death, or some water
I now lead my lambs, I leave my lambs to the reaper
I'll bait them myself of it means I'd be left with my guilt
I've cover my tracks well
I'm safe for just now
I've covered my tracks well
With attention to detail
I'm safe for just now
But there's always some doubt
I've covered my tracks well
6.Human Error
If I was a writer, I'd write my opinions
And save them for later
Just to see how wrong I could be
If I was a painter, I'd paint all my rainbows
in different colors, or probably just black and grey
If I was a writer, I'd write my opinions
And send them a letter
Just to see they listen to me and I say
Trial and error, I'm not sure I've been here before
I'm drowning in humans, I'm not sure I've been here before
If I was a writer, I'd write my opinions
And save them for later
Just to see how wrong I could be
If I was a painter, I'd paint all my pictures
in different colors, or probably just black and grey
If I was a writer, I'd write my opinions
And send them a letter
Just to see they listen to me and I say
Trial and error, I'm not sure I've been here before
I'm drowning in humans, I'm not sure I've been here before
I'm drowning in humans, And I'm sure I've been here before
So why decide that around there?
Holding your tongue like it was your sword.
Why decide that around there?
Holding your tongue like it was your sword
7.Medicine
I have torn through the pages of the years I have wasted
And I've stolen all my stories, that I've copied and pasted
Is this about me now? Still about me now
I fought in an army that only fights boredom
And I've caught all my allies who were only there in peacetime
Is this about me now? Still about me now
I've ignored all the warnings and the constant reminders
And I've read the instructions, well I'll never guess
Is this about me now? Still about me now
Bring me back to life
I've stumbled and staggered too many times
Bring me back to life
Too stupid and stubborn to put up a fight.
I have torn through the pages of the years I have wasted
Then I've stolen all my stories and I've run out of patience
Is about me now? Still about me now
Give me my medicine my spoon and my bottle
And you can't blame a chancer so beat me to an anvil
And let me sleep it off, let me sleep it off
Bring me back to life
I've stumbled and staggered too many times
Bring me back to life
Too stupid and stubborn to put up a fight
Can't resist, I'm a little out of practice
I'm carved in cement, to hold off the darkness
The thoughts to think illuminate my brain
Bring me back to life
I've stumbled and staggered too many times
Bring me back to life
I've stumbled and staggered too many times
Waitin' for the fight, I'll gamble with my spine
I'm ready for the fight, to toughen up my spine.
8.Pear Tree
With balloons tied loose around your neck
I can't help but wait with baited breath
With an eye for your madness
Or a glimpse of your sadness to be unveiled
While I'm here
I'll make it crystal clear
It's all these people
who keep forgetting
As the vultures circled overhead
You could tell I was on my last legs
It's all these people
They're making me wish I wasn't here
See the eye of the storm
Dig deep and pretend there's nothing wrong
It's all these people
Who are making me wish I wasn't there
While I'm here
I'll make it crystal clear
It's all these people
who keep forgetting
Your ..
hope you know your name
If you'd be my pear
then I'll be your tree
So delicately balanced
On top of me
If you'd be the lighthouse
Then I'll be the road
If you'd be the timezone
Then I'll be the globe
If you'd be the ..
then I'll be the ..
Beats on the drum
.. walking on the line
If you'll be the window
I'll be the door
..
..
If you'd be my ..
Then I'd be your ..
So ..
..
If you'd be the lighthouse
then I'll be the road
If you'd be the timezone
then I'll be the globe
If you'd be my pear
Then I'll be your tree
So delicately balanced
On top of me
9.Picture Of Health
I've been thinking to myself
Aren't we just the picture of health?
The one you see through the window
The one where all goes well
At times there's nothing worse
than the beat of a struggling pulse
But in the pit of the stomach
is where I can always tell
Watch as the trees grow tall
We'll give them a face and a name
Build a fence to keep out the neighbors
But we'll dress our scarecrows the same
We've been thinking to ourselves
Weren't we just the picture of health?
But in the pit of the stomach
is where you can always tell
We'll sit and wait and think
Wander back to familiar surroundings
In the place where I should have grown up
And hung myself out to dry
Watch as the trees grow tall
Give them a face and a name
We'll build a fence to keep out the neighbors
But we'll dress our scarecrows the same
Watch as the trees grow tall
Give them a face and a name
We'll build a fence to keep out the neighbors
But we'll dress our scarecrows the same
10.Act On Impulse
He died alone.
He died on impact.
And all this talk of death,
Has really brightened up my week.
And the smell of sweat,
Really helps me sleep.
We act alone.
We act on impulse.
And all this talk of death,
Has really brightened up my week.
And the smell of sweat,
Really helps me sleep.
He died alone.
We act alone.
We act on impulse.
We act alone.
We act on impulse.
We act alone.
