Holding You Down
02:01
|
|||
We crawled out of the sea
We fell from the trees
It ain't no mystery
Just stating a fact
I'm starting to believe
I carved myself up
I cut myself off
To see what I was made of
To see what I am
To see what I'm not
She can't help you now
You're breathing on your own
You've gotta find a way
To let her let you go
If it's holding you down
Just let it go

I Can Change
03:19
|

I can change
I’m not my face, I’m not my name
I can change from what I am
Into something you could understand
But I’m afraid we’re not really here
We’re still stuck an hour ago
When I was chewing off your ear
We’re selling out for a second skin
But I won’t sing along
To another shitty song about heroin
I can change
I’m not my face, I’m not my name
I can’t explain why we are
Simultaneously near and far
I’m estranged from what I’ve done
I won’t pay ransom for the words
You heard me say when I was young
We’re selling out for a second skin
But i think I’d rather die
Than have another shitty high conversation
I can change
I’m not my face
I’m not my name
I can change

It's Contagious!
03:28
|
|||
I'm taking a good look at the bad side
I'm living like a king on the breadline
I lay in the sand and wait for high tide
I won't keep you around if you give me bad vibes
Won't ever stop
Stop killing it
Won't ever get
Get sick of this
Don't go telling
Your psychiatrist
It's not right but it's contagious
I'm not gunna vote in the election
I'm not gunna sacrifice the heathen
My money's on warm bodies and red wine
It's looking like it will be a landslide
Won't ever stop
Stop killing it
Won't ever get
Get sick of this
Don't go telling
Your psychiatrist
It's not right but it's contagious
I got no faith in us
We're dumb and dangerous
Don't matter what you do to me
I got no faith in us
We're just an animal

Pull Out Couch
03:23
|
|||
We keep on bragging about our late nights
It's no use my alibis are air tight
We go on and on about the old days
They were bleak, I chose to sleep them all away
On this pull out couch of mine
Please don't open the blinds
Pull out couch of mine, It's all mine
I only wake up to save ya
From my real wrong side
And I count all the favours
And I take my time
It's alright
One in a million, thats what we've got
In this market those are fucking good odds
On the ol' production line
We tie our hearts entwined
We ignore all the signs
It's not yours, it's all mine
I only wade out to save ya
When the lake runs dry
And i promise to bake ya
On the sunny side
It's alright
You got all the parts of the equation
Sad, drunk, stoned, ranting and raving
They don't understand
Your pride is just a little bruised
Your hearts up hanging in a noose
Cause he don't wanna be your man

Abalone

Verse
G D Bm C
G D Bm C
Am
Abalone, I’d be lonely too
I’d be roaming, if I were you
No oligarchy, no invisible hand
Like abalone, buried in the sand
Chorus
C G Em D
I’m leaving town to find some space
These billboards lie right to your face
I swear this city’s driving me insane
Verse
G D Bm C
G D Bm C
Am
Abalone, I’d be lonely too
I’d be roaming, if I were you
I’ll find a nice tree, do what I do best
Just my guitar and me, no one to impress
Chorus
C G Em D
I’m leaving town to find some space
These billboards lie right to your face
I swear this city’s driving me insane
I’ll drug myself to find some peace
From future ghosts and memories
And all these people, with their opinions
Philosophy from fashion victims
With skyward eyes, like God could save them
Forgive us Lord, we can’t be sated
Forget the faces, forget the names
I swear this city’s driving me insane
(Capo where suits)

Too Many Times
04:04
|
|||
She went away on the same day I arrived
Said "Don't you go treading so lightly"
I salivate over pixelated pictures of us
There'll always be part of me back there with you
I bit my tongue down too many times now
Too many times
I sold myself out under the bright lights
Too many times
Dragging my feet over hot coals
Making cold calls to you
You've come so far and I don't feel like I've moved
And everyday make a perfect reproduction of you
With clothes I find on the washing line
Where we used to reside
I bit my tongue down too many times now
Too many times
I sold myself out under the bright lights
Too many times

Ain't Safe
02:59
|
|||
Through all the night and all the day
I keep you here to fuck my brain
I think that I might be insane
I told you that, but you don't scare easily
My son and heir to all my debts
I'll squeeze you till there's nothing left
We're oversexed and unimpressed
I keep you here to fuck my head
I ain't safe with you
I ain't going home with you
I ain't safe with you
I just do what you want me to
Through all the doubt and all the pain
I keep you near, but far away
I think that I might be insane
I told you that, but you don't scare easily
I ain't safe with you
I ain't going home with you
I ain't safe with you
I just do what you want me to

Favourite Grave
02:55
|
|||
One look can tell we got nothing to say
I'm laying low in my favourite grave
Look at all those teeth lined up all in a row
We look so cheap in our fancy clothes
Don't get along so good now
With everyone I should now
I'm all messed with nowhere to go
I lost my wallet I can't get home
Don't get along so good now
With everyone I should now
I'm laying low in my favourite
Time goes so slow in my favourite
Come to my show in my favourite grave

Wrinkles
02:50
|
|||
Wrinkles, we're getting wrinkles
Cute little sprinkles round your eyes
Drinking, so sick of thinking
You always let me take my time
Saturated in the flow
Watching the galaxy erode
Infatuated with you though
There's no need to hide your wrinkles
So dumb, think I'm on the spectrum
You always look me in the eye
I'm sorry for the things I said when I was sleeping
But if you could've loved me through that
I guess we're good
I think we're real good
Saturated in the flow
Watching the hypocrites explode
Infatuated with you though
There's nothing to hide
We're safe inside our wrinkles

All Fucked Up
02:24
|
|||
Gone are the days of the people’s revolution
We can’t explain our g g generation
We’re so strange, we need a problem worser
I’m not lazy, I just have inertia
Just like you, I’m just like you
The camera still lies, we can fake it
If I don’t believe it then break it
So deeply convinced that we’ll make it
We’re all fucked up
Upload alone, tune into the wireless
A bad translation spreading like a virus
To stay afloat, or drown taking a picture
I'm sure that hell looks swell with a filter
Just like you, just like you do
The camera still lies, we can fake it
If I don’t believe it then break it
So deeply convinced that we’ll make it
We’re all fucked up

This Won't Last Forever
03:56
|
|||
I got my war
And you got yours
Before we part today
There's something that I've got to say
This won't last forever
Sorry but I got to say it
My brain is slow
To learn and know
This strand of DNA we share
Has seen us led astray
This won't last forever
Sorry but I got to say it
