Scorch 02:06
(Wake!) It’s a brand new day The sun is shining; birds are singing, flowers springing (Scorch!) The heat bursts through the window Temperatures are soaring Through the high 40s And my first thought is Fucking kill me (I’m off to work) Bid cans with the lads adieu (I’m out of luck) Life is déjà vu (I suck) And the worst part is that I I’m probably just like you (I’m off to work) Room with a view (I’m out of luck) Of clear skies that bring the blues (I suck) And the worst part is that I I’m probably just like you

On one hand, get up and join the fray On the other, sleep all though the day What a wonderful day to stay inside And admire the inside of my eyes I’d get up and own my responsibility But I can’t seem to move, I guess I blame gravity And I know It’s hard to change So I’ll grow in the shade And hope my petals bloom I’d get up and go, gather my remaining energy But it’s hard to roam when your roots are stuck firmly Clock hands spin round They’re the only thing that's moving in this room And the time's always quarter to gloom And I’ll reap What I sow Which is zero But climbing (is a drain) And falling (is nothing) So I guess (I’m earthbound) Always going down, down, down And I know Somethings got to change Can’t grow in the shade But I can’t elevate from this state, I’m doomed to stagnate I’d get up and go, gather my remaining energy But it’s hard to roam when your roots are stuck firmly Clock hands spin round They’re the only thing that's moving in this room And the time's always quarter to gloom Blending in with the background noises They don't forget their voices And yet I’m so remorseless (I'm not feeling anything) Is this all completely hopeless? Surely every day can’t be like this? Even with my eyes closed it’s tunnel vision of the abyss But a day will come, and it will be The day that lifts the clouds on my self-hating fantasy I’ll show my might, crush my plight Nothing will stand in my way But all this excitement’s worn me out, maybe another day

(Check out my band!) We’ve got a really sick announcement at 8 (Check out my band!) Our new single has a guest spot from my mate (Check out my band!) We’ve got this new lighting rig, it’s really sweet (Check out my band!) We replaced all the vowels in our name with V’s Come to our next gig I can get you in cheap We’re opening so get down early We're on at half past 3 Why’s there only 6 People came to see The event said 53 (Facebook lied to me) Where’s our guarantee The promoter can’t be seen Guess we’re not eating (No more meals this week) The lifespan of a band is too short But even then it’s long Why do we always play to no-one Just gotta keep it strong People at the back, come forward, lets go! (Networking) Hey cool set dude, thanks you guys were sick too (Networking) Why’s there 6 bands when there’s a 10pm curfew? (Networking) They headlining band said they liked out set Said they’d mention us to their label rep The lifespan of a band is too short But even then it’s long We’re not here for fame, we just wanna play songs What are we doing wrong?

Trampoline 03:26
I’ve got everything together and I’m as happy as can, apparently Nothing ever gets me down except that everyone is sad except me And for years I’ve been telling myself the same old lines That I can’t help you because I haven’t felt your plight But that’s not right (All our fears) I’d like to think I could talk you off a ledge (Fall on deaf ears) But I’d just freeze and justify your dread Just because I don't feel like you Is no excuse to ignore the truth So if you decide to talk I won't just listen I'll carry you through, too When you feel your soul wavering Your mind bouncing like on a trampoline Talk and we’ll speak the language of remedy It’ll take time but we’ll figure out the secret tongues I am one of the lucky ones who has love in spades But I’ve been saving it for when it’s too late (I’ve) been shutting the door like you’re a Jehovah’s Witness (I’ve) been treating sadness like it’s an inconvenience (I’m) peeling myself from my ignorance and finding new bliss (I’m) trying to make us feel alive When you feel your soul wavering Your mind bouncing like on a trampoline Talk and we’ll speak the language of remedy It’ll take time but we’ll figure out the secret tongues

I think we’re on the verge of something biblical (Set course for Andromeda) We’re about to destroy the world Or so you’d think Because when we get bored The drama spreads like an angry horde Angry, living with crossed wires We conspire to catch fire And exaggerate the pain So it justifies the blame Why do you blame all the people you see on screen? You know it’s not their fault you life’s a tragedy You hate your job And your kids hate you guts You can walk but still use a crutch Angry, living with crossed wires We conspire to catch fire For a reason to complain Sad reacts only If you’d stop the focus on spite You’d see the world's quite alright But you live to spread the strife Don’t believe the hype Angry, living with crossed wires We conspire to catch fire And beg to stay alight To give the rage the extra might But I see, the world is not so dire When you step out from the mire But no-ones listening Happiness is not that interesting

Did you say something? Sorry I was in the sunshine of my mind Where I live through rose tinted eyes Too naïve to just let my dreams die I’m having a staring contest with empty space Daydreaming of the life’s where I grew far beyond this place Sorry for my short attention span I’m wearing the number 10 shirt again, or maybe I’m Playing shows arena size With other bands songs that I wrote in another life The only thing vibrant in this world is my headspace And in this place I can float forever Yeah I’ll float forever And in this place My own dreamscape I’m real forever I’m real forever I’m having a staring contest with empty space Daydreaming of the life’s where I exude a warm embrace Reality It’s not you it’s me I’ve handled life quite flippantly Reality No one said you’d be easy And I’m definitely very lazy Reality I probably should engage But I’ll dream instead It’s more convenient to pretend I’m having a staring contest with empty space Daydreaming of the life’s where I grew far beyond this place I’d also consider VR but the headset hurts my face
