Master of Procrastination
Dreamer of the song
Lazy bones has lost momentum
Energy’s all gone
Ideas flowing
Pressure growing
To correct to the wrongs
Master of Procrastination

Walking Contradiction
03:20
|
|||
|
I’m a walking contradiction
Eating meat in a Smiths shirt
Say I wanna quit cigarettes while I’m sat smoking
Sometimes quick to judge others
But not as quick as I’m to judge myself
How do I pull myself up now
I feel I’ve tripped and fell
That’s me in a nutshell
My brain’s unkind, but it means well
How do I navigate this now
I feel I’ve tripped and fell
That’s me in a nutshell
Trying to heal the pain
Make it go away
At least there’s love today.

By My Side

What would I do without your love?
Crumble like sand and turn to dust
Rust to the core and just blank out
All of the joy I’d be without
You give me purpose when I have none
I’ll be the stars, and you the sun
Forever entwined but yet apart
A constant presence in my heart
Goes to show, it’s possible
To find, what you’ve been looking for
Sweeter than pie and soft as snow
You’re so gentle, I love you so
Stay with me till the end of days
Promise me you’ll never go away
Goes to show, it’s possible
To find, what you’ve been looking for
Been a long time since I made a new friend
But that don’t matter, when I’ve got you
By my side.

Perpetual Child
04:10

Take a look in the mirror
Tell me what you see
Haggard adult face staring back at me?
Where did the years go
They just passed me by
Still in the same bed
Feel like a perpetual child.
Growing up can feel so tough
When you're forever up against the clock
Until you realise its just a construct of imagination,
In your head
You stay in bed and ponder all the things that
Ruminate inside your brain
Until you fall asleep again.
Neurotic brain, please be kind
Don't poison up my mind
Neurotic brain, please be kind
Don't poison up my mind.
Sweet perpetual child
24 years old
A loss of innocence
Passion's growing cold
Still so young but at a crossroads
Looking left and right
Make your move or you'll forever feel uptight.
There's a sadness in the eyes
But there's a joy behind the smile
Like shampoo in an open wound
It stings but just for a while.
What you talking about kid
You're still young
Youth is on your side
Have some fun
Remove your worries
Start again with none
Open up your curtains
See the sun.

Inhabit My Own
03:39
|
|||
|
Feeling funny as of late
Out of body, in a state
Minds collapsing from within
Can’t just take it on the chin
I’ve got a list of symptoms, I’d like to share
It ain’t quite textbook but it sure is strange
I’ve got a list of feelings, too afraid to share
They aren’t so weird but they sure are strange
Functioning on medium power
Just to get to the end of the day
Somethings a miss, is this all okay?
I inhabit my own world
But still can’t find my way around
Feel perpetually in a daze
Lost somewhere inside the haze
Gripping tightly to the door
Just can’t cope with this anymore

Chewed Up & Spat
02:56
|
|||
|
Might take a walk outside
Then let the breeze carry me home
To feel some warmth inside
I stride my way towards the sun
Until I feel some life
Blaring down from the sky
Into my weary mind
A blinding light wrapped up in time
Here I am, chewed up and spat
Nursing the wounds, self inflicted
Here I am, head in my hands
Connecting the dots
So predictable
I fight against the tide
Can’t get caught up, can’t swallow my pride
Until I feel some life
Blaring down from the sky
I walk towards the light
Racing back into my mind
Until I realise, the weakest links wrapped up in time.

Daisy Chain
04:28
|
|||
|
Like a daisy chain, intertwined but bound to break
It’s a losing game when you can’t even show your face
Put the world to rights
Purge the clutter from your place
Like an old photograph
I’m lost without a trace
I can fake it
Better than most
Just wear a smile
Then, they can’t get close
Everything I do
Say or think ain’t true
When the black dog comes to stay
Perched on my shoulder
Growing mean and colder
Digs it’s claws into me
I’m just searching for some purpose to distract myself
From feeling that are lurking, deep inside myself.

(Embrace) The Change
04:40
|
|||
|
Blue eyed girl who came to raise the game
Changed my life, I’ll never be the same
A good reminder, of how things could be
Some people say that things can’t ever change
You’re in a black hole and there, you must stay
No surprises, just bad attitude
Embrace the change
Open a door and see what you find
Embrace the change
You make me feel a certain kind of way
You make me feel so good, I wanna stay
Forget my past, live a new kind of way
Embrace the change
Open a door and see what you find
Embrace the change
Life with you, feels so good
I want you, need you
You look your best when I need it leave
Makes things harder, can’t you see
Your love forever enriches me
Your kindness shimmers over me
Your tender touch it flatters me
I’m a love fool, can’t you see
My heart is open, bleeding dry
My love erupting, into thy
My feelings bursting at the seems
Causes a landslide in me
Feelings bursting at the seems
I think I know now what this all means
Close one door, open one more
Climb out one bed, get in another
Embrace the changes
Find some relief
Your word is changing as you speak
Been a long time since I’ve made a new friend
But that don’t matter
Now I’ve got you
By my side.
