Tell me you've had enough of all this sh*t
I know I've been there darling, still you take another hit
you whilst you're down, take it on the chin and
don't speak loud they'll drown you out
or are these thoughts in your head?
x3
Higher than a mountain, higher than any one of us
it takes more than a letter; drink it in, sick it up, fill a cup and hold it up
I can't see how else to try it, Lord knows
Lord knows I've tried it all and Lord knows I'll try again
Lie after lie we're told, the new sh*t all gets
sold us more tools to make you unglued
with branding we're all marked, our bodies thick with scars
the story's gone too far, the time is now so think fast

Fake fortune teller me how this one's supposed to end
Make morning better please and bring with it a friend
Oh please, 4am
Oh please, 4am
'Cause I am five out of nine, I'm feeling fine,
I grow heavy lidded fitted with an inhibition hidden by a smile, and all the while,
I am flying higher, kinda tired, lying wired, trying to survive through the night
Five out of nine
So what if you poured all of your love into me?
I'm cleansing my soul and that's how it's supposed to be
Darling, tell me, Amen, Amen
So what if you poured all of your love into me?
I'm cleansing my soul and that's how it's supposed to be
Darling, tell me, Amen, Amen
'Cause I am five out of nine, I'm feeling fine,
I grow heavy lidded fitted with an inhibition hidden by a smile, and all the while,
I am flying higher, kinda tired, lying wired, trying to survive through the night
Five out of nine
'Cause I am five out of nine, I'm feeling fine,
I grow heavy lidded fitted with an inhibition hidden by a smile, and all the while,
I am flying higher, kinda tired, lying wired, trying to survive through the night
Five out of nine

Black & White

I stare at the sea and I dare it to lap back up at me
A cowardly fight that I'm secretly hoping to lose
Hoping the blues and greens will comfort me, but understandably
They're not there
And all of the fire I had in me darkens so I sit back quietly
Pastel blues melt away into pools made of grey, it takes two to comfort me
Call me wild but I think when my whites should be pink
It is them who'll come for me
It is them who'll come for me, it is them
Because no matter how hard I try, my life unfolds in Black and White
Candy floss skies turn grey at the sides before me
And the sunshine, the birds, the bees, they laugh at me hysterically
As if to say you're not good enough for our quality
And what if I told I didn't want to see them anyway?
The silver of moons every evening a different shade of grey
The moon it sympathises with me
it opens up my eyes to see those greens of grass
the blues of glass, but I can't help it I just sit back quietly
Pastel blues melt away into pools made of grey, it takes two to comfort me
Call me wild but I think when my whites should be pink it is them who'll come for me
It is them who'll come for me, it is them
Because no matter how hard I try, my life unfolds in Black and White
Candy floss skies turn grey at the sides before me
And the sunshine, the birds, the bees, they laugh at me hysterically
As if to say you're not good enough for our quality
Because no matter how hard I try, my life unfolds in Black and White
Candy floss skies turn grey at the sides before me
And the sunshine, the birds, the bees, they laugh at me hysterically
As if to say you're not good enough for our quality
I'm ready to float forever in this endless abyss

Inside Out

Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning out
Clean yourself up, you're messy
Never a truer word was said to me
But I find it hard not seeing you every day
And all the thoughts they build up
Watch your treading only eggshells fall below me
What happens if I fall away
The Entertainer
Oh to fall, not at all
It seems as though we'd catch you anyway
And I'm trying to give you time
But this time's not yours and it's not mine to give and
What's the point in being here anyway
Feels as though my inside's turning, over what it is
Feels as though my inside's turning, and how you are
Feels as though my inside's turning,
Feels as though I know
There's no control in my home life
There's no control
There's no control over what it is and how you are
There's no control, I
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feels as though my inside's turning, I feel it all
Feels as though my inside's turning
Feel as though I know
There's no control in my home life
There's no control
There's no control over what it is and how you are
There's no control, I
There's no control
In my home life
There's no, there's no
Feels as though my heart is turning inside out and upside down
Feels as though my heart is turning inside out and upside down
And I've tried to ask plainly
How do I live my life lately?
How do I move through the day to day?
Cause when the road ends where do we go then?
One step forward and two steps back again
What's the point in being here anyway

Hold my heart close in your hands
Tell me you don't think it's made of sand
When all of my love seems to slip through the cracks
Feel the warmth close to my skin
Why can't I seem to let it in?
When all of my thoughts seem to stall and relax
Oldest friend, does anybody notice you?
And what if I led you astray?
Left you in love with no other way
To have and to hold, no one bothered today
So would you lie there?
Waiting for someone to call you?
Every moment spent all alone
Is learning how to live on your own
What if I led you astray?
Left you in love with no other way
To have and to hold, no one bothered today
So would you lie there?
Waiting for someone to call you?
Every moment spent all alone
Is learning how to live on your own
Oldest friend, does anybody notice you?
