Endless Summer
02:29
|
|||
They’re drinking beer in the backseat
I’ve got eyes on the road we’ve got somewhere to be
And the kids in the street walk like dogs in heat
But I’m not out there, I don’t want to compete
Those endless summers never come around
They were wasted when they were here but we’re ready for them now
We used to share these war stories
Now we worry about our health and anxiety
And maybe there’s somewhere else we’re really meant to be
Pack down after the show, throw the shit in the car and leave
Those endless summers never come around
They were wasted when they were here but we’re ready for them now
We’re ready for it now
We’re ready
Those endless summers never come around
They were wasted when they were here but we’re ready for them now
We’re taking off
And burning out
We’re faking it
Until it’s real now
And the endless summer finally comes around

The Night Is Through
03:46
|

You hit me from the left
You hit me from the right
Oh you hit me so damn hard
That you knock me out until the end of the night
I had better things
Better things to do alright
It’s just not working out
And we’re not on the same side
And you hit me with one of your empty gestures
And a total lack of a social filter
We’ve done this dance until we’re out of step and now the night is through
So you can go and give up on me
And I’ll give up on you
Is that how you roll?
So cocksure and full of braggadocio
I see how you’re held together
And that story won’t last forever, no
I’ve no time to spend
On this line that you’re trying to sell
And I swear there’s no ill will
But I just don’t fucking care
And you hit me with one of your bold declarations
And I roll my eyes back in my head up to the heavens
We could do this dance until we’re out of step
But I don’t know what I would prove
So go and give up on me
And I can give up on you
Give, give up
Give, give, give up now

Pen to Paper
02:33
|
|||
I swear to god that I can’t stop
And now I’m dying on my feet
I dredge this shallow brain
And I never get too deep
Just band my head
Into the wall
Try to shake something loose
Give me anything, anything
We strive to be great
But I’ll die struggle for something to say
I put myself into these files
To be corrupted, to go live
To throw away
To throw away
We strive to be great
But I’ll die struggle for something to say
I put my pen to the paper
All I felt was disappointment
Just to blindly try
And push everything aside
Oh come on baby, give it all to me
I want control yeah, can’t let it go yeah
I want to see it realised perfectly
But we don’t go there, disappointment lives here
Where we strive to be great
But I’ll die struggle for something to say
I put my pen to the paper
All I felt was disappointment
Just to blindly try
And push everything aside

Exit Stage Right
03:12
|
|||
We’re living in a bubble baby
See the other side of the wall
And things are getting pretty bleak lately
We’re tearing apart our home
We’re heading into trouble and I feel
I fell so sick inside
Some people want to do the right thing
And some will want to stoke the fire
They’re screaming “fuck the rest”
While we’re praying for the best, yeah
And it tears a hole right through your chest
Come one
We’re living in an echo chamber
And it’s filling up with the sound
Of all the spite dripping out of your mouth
No hope, just screaming everybody down
They scream “deport the rest”
While we’re begging to see some sense, yeah
And it tears a hole right through your chest
See what’s left as you’re walking away
It’s for the best
Yeah that’s what you’d say
(come on, come on, and poison your cup)
(come on, come on and drink it up)

Total Beast
01:51
|
|||
I’m supposed to be, immortal, genetically
But now there is no doubt
I'm a match that's burning out
What you lack in subtlety
You make up by being a total beast
The gap between you and me
Is that I know that I'm a piece of meat
I am a total beast
I can't contest, the beasts
They do their best
And now that things have changed
Piss marks an extended range
What you lack in subtly
You make up by being a total beast
The gap between you and me
Is that I know that I'm a piece of meat
I am a total beast
Your mind is agnostic
But your body is an atheist
It might just stay like this
Or it might all change
Or in all likelihood, it's gonna stay the same
And there isn't much
Between dropping and spilling your guts
I’ll kid myself again
Separating apes from men

Clear Some Space
02:44
|
|||
I see the look on your face
Like there’s something that you don’t want to say
That there’s that feeling deep inside again
That’s eating away right under your skin
It’s in our nature
And it won’t let go
This uncertainty
And yeah I know
That the feeling doesn’t make any sense
But there it is in your dreams
There it is in your head
If I could take the weight of the world from your shoulders and clear some space
I would find a way, right now, and never break
We could dress up and go out tonight
But then I see that look in your eyes
That’s holding you down
It’s holding on so tight
This part of nature
Is a horror
We’re waiting for disaster
To rear its ugly head
And if it can’t be helped
Why can’t we forget
The panic that just keeps coming
The wall fall, the flesh crawling
The panic that just keeps coming and coming and coming
Amounts to nothing

Swing Your Axe
02:32
|
|||
You’re scanning around looking for the promised land
With your neck on the block and your face in the sand
Running out of fight
Running out of time
Ground down into pieces
Waiting for you in the middle of the night
To swing your axe baby
Come on and hurry up because the waiting is driving me crazy
It’s just one fell swoop and it dies
And the little pieces get swept to the side
I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting too long
Keep on rolling to the beat but I’m sick of the same old song
Is there something I can do
To get out of here alive
Not waiting on your decision
For you to come stand by my side
So you can swing your axe baby
Come on and hurry up because the waiting is driving me crazy
It’s just one fell swoop and it dies
And the little pieces get swept to the side
And you forget about them once they leave your side
Like I’ll forget about you in a little while
so swing your axe baby
Come on and hurry up because the waiting is driving me crazy
It’s just one fell swoop and it dies
And the little pieces get swept to the side

Get Down
03:46
|
|||
I get down
I get around
I get it up to the knees
Up to the chest
Until I almost drown
Taking all this time
Baby, where we're walking blind
On a road to nowhere
To see what we can find
But now we’re here
And it’s just you and me
There’s no other place I need to be
And I really hope you feel it too
I get down
I get around
And again I’ll listen to that song I love
About getting out
So I can dream, dream, dream
Of all the same old scenes
Looking over our shoulder
As the engines roar
And the tiers spin and scream
But now we’re here
And it’s just you and me
There’s no other place I need to be
And I really hope you feel it too
Oh, honey, do you feel
That we’re picking up speed
Rolling down the hill
Burning down this road it’s just me and you
Sometimes it feels like there’s a boulder rolling over me
That’s what this time alone can do
It’s like I see a knife shining in the dark between some grinning teeth
Like something’s waiting to be let loose

Flawed Creatures
02:12
|
|||
Walking in the light, you’re walking in the shade
Always head on, you’re never walking away
Don’t want to fuck it all up again
Just do the right thing every day
We’re all flawed creatures
Trying to make our way in this world
But these ugly habits
Will turn us into animals
Your taking steps back until
Your backs right up against a wall
We’re all flawed creatures
Trying to make our way in this world
We’re on all fours
Scratching in the dirt
I am a composition
I am both right and wrong
Walking high, upon the tightrope
Trying not to be slipping off

Backup
02:22
|
|||
Here’s the man
And here’s the band
Just doing it up
The only way they can
You’ve got to give them hell
You’ve got to give them that hard sell
Give it all you’ve got
And just hope you’re doing well
But I could always use back up
I could always do with a little love
You know I’d like to say that I don’t care what they think
But baby I’m shaking when I’m out in the street
So I will take all you’ve got
Give me all you’ve got
All the things you say you can withstand
Let’s see you prove it
Working with those feeble hands
Like there’s a point to all of this
Here’s the man
And here’s the dream
And the world is pouring in at the seams
Until it’s all I see
And when dreams don’t really mean shit to me
I could always use back up
I could always do with a little love
You know I’d like to say that I don’t care what you think
But baby I’m shaking when I’m out in the street
So I will take all you’ve got
Give me all you’ve got
All you’ve got to do
Is hope your aim is true
All you’ve got to do
Is take one or two
And pray it makes you feel alright
Maybe my chest won’t feel so tight
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
Let’s go, let’s go tonight
But I could always use back up
I could always do with a little love
You know I’d like to feel like I don’t care what you think
But baby I’m shaking so obviously
So I will take all you’ve got
Give me all you’ve got

Narrative Shakes
02:46
|
|||
I need an angel
On my shoulder
Because there’s a devil hanging out
Waiting to take over
I nearly scorched the earth
And salted the ground
I nearly burned the only bridge I needed to get out
Get out
Yeah that’s what I’m talking about
I thought that I was on fire
But I was dead cold
I was so ignorant back then
But now at least I know
Tried running free
But I’m a drone
Just keep on chipping away and away
And so the story goes
The narratives may shake
And I’ve made some mistakes
But baby you and me you know
I think we’ve got what it takes
The narratives may shake
And I may not know what to say
But baby you and me you know
I think that we can go all the way

Drag
03:44
|

The hangovers don’t make me sick
They just make me sleep
And picking over old wounds with you
Is not where I want to be
Now we call each other out for things we said
Who we are and who we were back then
And get all wound up
All wound up
It just drags me down (drag, drags me down)
It just drags me down (drag, drags me down)
Down and down till we feel so low
We can get pulled over the fucking coals
it drags me down
The hangovers they make me sleep
But I will not dream
Now this wound is opened up and bleeding
I can hardly think
Now we call each other out for playing to type
For doing the things that just felt right
Right at the time
Right at the time
It just drags me down (drag, drags me down)
It just drags me down (drag, drags me down)
Down and down till we feel so low
We can get pulled over the fucking coals
it drags me down (drag, drags me down)
it just drags me down (drag, drags me down)
Down and down and I want you to know
That I’m not built for this anymore it drags me down
I could say I’ll never drink again
And we can play like it’s the past I guess
But I’m drifting in and out of sleep
And it’s something I just can’t beat
Dragging it out and down down down
In to the pits and I can’t get out
