I’ve been sailing since the start and my boat got smashed apart so I swam
I’ve been messed around the same, I’ve been breaking up your game when I swam
Ain’t no use in attempting to fight, world full of losers and nobodies right
Everyone is washed ashore knowing nothing that’s in store so I swam
If contemplating all the sea is the way its got to be then I’ll swim
Waste no effort in hoping I’ll sink, I’ve a got a plan and I’m starting to drink
There are some who start to drown but I’ll always be around coz I swam
As the water levels rise here’s my salty blinking eyes
Coz I swam.
Ain’t no use in attempting to fight, world full of losers and nobodies right

Time features in an elementary way
Hold onto what you know will cause delay
Show that you aware of what is lost
Keep arms away from unexpected frost
Sleep on a problem, act another day
Try not to let a chance just get away
Lead everyone then sneak among the pack
Look straight ahead no turning back
Coz I’m in a soulful mood
Take care of what you think you’re all about
Bring everything we might be getting out
Break contact if you want to make it right
Play all you can, it’s almost like a fight
Find something in an unexpected place
Throw things about while covering your face
Hide valuables whenever in a crowd
Eat audio, a meal sound

THE COLOURS SLOWLY, YOUR EYES ARE BROWN
THE CASHMERES HERE BUT IM STILL AROUND
THE DETAILS COSTLY, THE HUG IS WARM
THE PHONE IS RINGING BECAUSE OF THE STORM
WELL I CAN’T SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER STRAIGHT
I CAN’T SEEM TO CORRELATE. I DON’T WANNA STAY BUT I CAN’T GET AWAY, WHEN THE TRUTH GETS OUT
ABOUT THIS HUG WE HAD
THE SHIT IS SIMPLY GOING TO
FLY AROUND THE TOWN I’VE DONE IT NOW
THE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE CRIME
THE GOSSIPS SPREADING BUT ARE YOU MINE?
THE THREATS ARE COMING, I’VE GOT THEM ALL
BUT I AM SO RELAXED I’M SAT BEHIND A WALL
THE DOORS ARE OPEN MY CLOTHES ARE YOURS,
MY ADORATION ISN’T RUNNING OUT IN STORES
MY MIND IS GROWING, THE TRUTH IS CLEAR
THIS HUG HAS STARTED NOW WHAT’S FINISHING IN YEARS

THERE'S NOTHING I WANT MORE, THERE'S NOTHING I WON’T DO
I’VE NOT SAID THIS BEFORE, COZ THIS MAY DEPRESS YOU
IF THESE WORDS NEVER REACH YOU AND I DON’T SAY MY PIECE
PERHAPS IT’S BEST YOU WERE NOT REACHED
AND YOU SHOULD LOOK CLOSER TO HOME
FOR THE HAPPINESS YOU’LL RECEIVE
THERE'S NOTHING I WON’T DO, THERE'S NOTHING I WANT MORE

A penguin, a lighthouse, the 9th of july
If all these come true then I might believe
Some emails, some answers, but more asking why
What’s up I’m asked I look about to cry
It’s because you’re still grieving that you focus on these things
Not done with believe in this
You’re made like other, love you like a brother
But I don’t know what to say to all this
Predictions are different, if some don’t come true
There’s fakers, fools and liars, which one dya choose
I’ll list it, won’t twist, the outcome is true,
Beliefs are all the things which can’t be proved.

OH MY PEOPLE DO ME WELL, THEY TRY TO TAME ME I CAN TELL
BUT I CAN SURPRISE THEM WHEN I LIKE
I’LL BRING THEIR CONSCIENCE TO ITS KNEES
AND PUT THEIR LEGS UPON A SPIKE
WELL I CAN PROBEINTO YOUR HEAD
BUT CANNOT FORCE YOU LIKE THE REST
I KNOW YOU DOUBT IT JUST WHAT I THINK
YOU WANT TO SHOUT IT BUT SOMETIMES SHRINK
BUT HE’S A BASTARD I ONCE WAS TO
SO THEREFORE I CANT SAY THAT HE WONT CHANGE
BUT THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU
ITS LABRADORIC PERSISTENCE
THAT SEPARATES US FROM THE PACK
EVERYBODY HERE WANTS YOU MORE
BUT ON CONDITION THAT YOU SQUEAK LIKE BEFORE
I KNOW YOU HEAR ME, YOU HEAR ME
I WANT YOU NEAR ME, HE’S STEERED TO HELL
THE COLOURS SLOWLY AND QUIETLY
THERE'S GUINEA PIG IN THEM THERE HILLS
AND IF YOU DOUBT ME GO AND SEE
IF I’M NOT TREADING ON YOUR TOES
THEN ITS BECAUSE YOU BROTHER KNOWS

Cursed

Everybody’s born to explore
Curiosity to find more
Touch he things were not supposed to do
Take apart to see what’s behind
Look inside and see what we find
With a feline interest running through
And it’s so sad we lose it
It’s so sad that we settle for the first
It’s so sad that we choose to site right back and take it like we’re cursed
Permutations endless choices
Infinite opinion voices
But as the years go but we’re less impressed
Gambling is never sure so
You bet your money but you don’t know
Always something new to be confessed
Reading off a one line menu, you take the usual order then you…

My way is confrontational
Approach is unconventional
Can’t understand but this I know
Love can be unconditional
So make it much more visceral
Don’t say it’s just medicinal
Stand up and take a fall
Don’t try and you are missing all
And if I’m alone so be it
