Remorse 03:35
I didn’t want it to end up like this, to be the one standing in the ashes. Didn’t want to start the flame, I sure as hell won’t take the blame. Not any of my damn business. Chorus: Now I have no remorse. So how did you think it would end. And yourself what did you intend? I don’t care what you say, You had your part to play. Take the facts, then you twist and bend. Chorus. I have no regrets I don’t really care I have no remorse now.

Nevermind 02:10
Of course you’ve learnt by now life’s gonna be this way. Stuck in the same routine, day to bloody day. It’s just, the way things are. That’s tough, life is hard. Those words stuck on repeat, as you accept defeat But never mind What options have we left when the best aint good enough, You could be a chainsaw and still fail to make the cut, And when, that’s understood, it hurts. Of course it would. As you quietly bight your tongue, regret ever being young. But never mind.

Moonbow 04:16
I just can’t get no sleep. Got bags under my eyes. I’m exhausted feel so weak. And I can’t be bothered to die. Said I can’t get no rest. Situations gotten dire. I feel there’s nothing left, need motivation for hire. Said I just can’t turn off. I’m exhausted look at me. Long past the point I’ve had enough. And I’ve run out of steam The clock just sits there mocking, oh how I hate that thing. And there’s no chance it’s stopping. Then the poxy alarm rings. Chorus: So tired, So wired. Everything’s running through my mind like sludge now I just need some sleep. Ending: Everything’s gotten blurred. Everything’s gotten dark. I’ll just sit and listen to the rhythm of my heart.
4.
This is the beginning of our eternity, this is the beginning you will see. Only time can tell us what is lined up next. Whatever that maybe it’s got me obsessed. Can you feel the world turn, like it has before. Everything that mattered matters no more. Chorus: This is the start, the beginning. This is the start of everything. We have come so far but that’s ending now. The only question left to ask is how. In such a short time we have seen so much, yet so little of it seems worth the rush. Everything we thought we knew seems to be changing , how long is it left till we know nothing. Chorus Can you feel the world turn, of course you bloody can. Every drop of ocean and every strip of land. The turning. Can you feel the world yearn, like it always has. As every single person will always understand. The yearning. Isn’t the new world such a scary place. We’ve been given far from a clean slate. Pretty soon the future will be past. Turns out nothings really built to last. Suddenly I see part, of the bigger seen. The world is a big place compared to me Chorus

Not My Hands 04:10
I’m not sure I fit this skin, I’m not sure I should. I’d use it for kindling if I thought I could. I just don’t feel normal, I don’t understand. Though I feel them shaking, pretty sure that these are not my hands. Chorus: I am not the fuel I am the fire, the gestures of myself the satire. The little bit of doubt I should squash, the voice that tried to tell me I should stop. I’m not sure I fit this heart, I think it fits me. Only good for bleeding, unfortunately. I tried to explain it, I’m not sure I can. Though I feel them shaking, Pretty sure that these are not my hands. Chorus

Tap Dancing 01:17
7.
Let the shadows have their dance. Let them play. We will join them when we get the chance, not today. Watch the light lose dominance, watch it fail. Awestruck with magnificence, it entails. Chorus: Everything is clear, the world is harsh but maybe it’s sincere. The spectres of yourself, are just the things your demons try to sell. To you. Let the clouds all open wide, let them glow. Try accept what’s in the sky, earth below. Watch the horizon change its shape, stay stable. Feel the fullness of your space, and be full. Chorus Let the waters choke the stream, let us all get wet. I’ll watch it all in the clearest sunset. Let the grave yards keep, the bones that they collect. I’ll watch it all in the clearest sunset. Let us learn our past, then let us forget. I’ll watch it all in the clearest sunset. Let us get nothing, the lives that we expect. I’ll watch it all in, the clearest sunset. Chorus.
8.
The simple little things, can still mean everything. And this time it meant everything to me. We’d tear the world in two, if only to prove. That we could, should we have the need. The simple little things, so close to breaking. When they do, we will soon follow. There are promises, of new things and bliss. And they shine, bright, clean but hollow. Chorus: When the paths that you chase, take the steps that you waste. Don’t regret the route, go wherever you choose. That’s what I’ll do, for now. It will do for now it will do. The scattered paths I tread, naively I was led. Away from where, where I need to be. But if these are my hands. I’ll rebuild what I can, the simple things that meant so much to me. Chorus Don’t give up on burning bridges, don’t put faith in pointless wishes. Misses the point completely. The things you need are not the things that you need. Chorus Scattered wide, scattered far Scattered minds, scattered hearts

Exit Walk 03:46
Got few reasons to stay, never had many anyway and looking back they were much the same. I tried, to hold them. One by one they fall, like green bottles on a wall soon there will be none at all and so. What an awful scene, far too many troubled lived homogenous whining hive and then, there was me. Tired of the buzz, don’t really care who did what and nor should you so please just stop Chorus: I will take the exit walk, before things get any worse. And I will accept every flaw, and the little good I’ve earned. Don’t dare follow me, you better just stay where you are I only walk the backward path, Alone as always. Don’t try block my way, trust me I’m not playing games you can only cause me pain, You hurt. You hurt me Chorus Leave with head held high, leave while it’s still attached, before the vultures attack Be quick, and don’t wait What will happen next, what can we hope to get when memories are all that’s left, We’ll see.
10.
We are not the ones, killing in the name. Maybe we’re extreme, or maybe you’re tame. You don’t understand, we’re not the ones to blame. We’re not the ones to blame. Chorus: We will show you how the broken things will play, That in turn will show you how the broken things are made. Quickly judged and had enough and that is justified. We are the broken things that you try and hide. Put that finger away, we got two for you. You’re not without sin, you don’t get to accuse, Us of poisoning, we’ve got nothing to prove. We’ve got nothing to prove. Chorus
11.
Seeing Spots 03:30
Are you there are you listening, I got a little message for you. Are you surprised that, we survived each other to. And after it all, what have I got. Now I’m lost, sad and broken. Seeing spots. I felt like Icarus falling from the clouds. Or like a poker king, who lost it all somehow. And after it all, what have I got. Now I’m lost, sad and broken. Seeing spots. And up was down, and in was out. And nothing made sense any more. Just like before. I felt the world turning, I mean really felt it turn. I asked the question. Will I ever learn? And after it all. What have I got. Now I’m lost sad and broken. Seeing spots.
12.
I wrote it down on an envelope, every thought every fear and hope. And all was clear, yeah all was clear. When the ink was smudged and the paper a smear. I went to the window, in thoughts lost. Till my mind and the glass were clouded by the forst. And in those panes, I forgot my pain. Till the world was weird and bright wonderfull and strange. I remembered everything that once was known, and everything became a noise a drone. And it droned on, yeah it droned on. Grew dimmer and dimmer and then it was gone. Chorus: And I am right back where I started from. Looking at the same old skies. As lost horizons rise, yeah lost horizons rise. I tried to add some colour to page, for I was stuck in a circle of grey. And I paint it black. Yeah everything black. And I’m determined never to go back. Chorus I was just left seeing spots again. Left to question what I’ve got again. But I don’t care, no I don’t care. No-one ever told me anything was fair. I sent it off to a random address, in one last desperate attempt to forget. Send it away, send it away. Won’t be dealing with any of that today.
