Fall Together
03:43

don't give up on your dreams
i'd rather stay asleep forever
however hard it seems
we'll walk out into any weather
fall together
stare out through a screen
i paid for a place to sleep
i trade time for money
and all i want to be
oh please
don't you see
you for all your looks and talent
still one in a million
waste of the stage
look at all these famous children
how we wish we'd been them
just a hair away
if i'd only been awake
before the years took all my time
then maybe we could say
we did for what we're made
though we feel it either way
wish that i could help
the ennui gives you hell
but what can i give you
i can't help myself
so don't give me hope
we have lost our very purpose
what's more could be worthless
say there's a way
but you want such tragic stories
we're just being boring
i can see the truth
i never could be you
all sorted by the time you're twenty
maybe it's too late
to die with dignity
so let's not change a thing
i believe in you
even if it hurts to
own up to our true intentions
i will take the reins
if you believe in me
this may be your mistake

Fighting To Lose
03:50
|

truly
god you love your irony
dealt the ideal body
and blinded me
noone chooses
noone at all
wake up and smell the roses
face full of thorns
now it's a stranger i see
these transformations take over me
here is the path, see that fork in the road
choose one but don't wander off on your own
suddenly
you are all over me
certain how great it is going to be
but i don't believe in and don't understand
the person you’re telling me that I am
why did you think that I would like this
never so distorted
and incomplete
why mutilate me
unless you hate me
what is the use of fighting to lose
can't break the mold that the almighty chose
couldn't get close

For A Moment
03:47
|

take me to a place so loud i cannot hear
bring your mouth closer to my ear
i can taste the tension on my tongue
your heady perfume filled my lungs
made me faint
and you were swept away
whatever it was they did
i’d have to triple it to make you stay
why did you lead me on
i never could contend
we were destined to end
for a moment
i dared to believe you might be different
do things in an all new way
so take me out my coffin
the cycle never stopping
let's break it together today
i dared to believe we might be different
slip from mother nature's chains
but we all know the story
there's no role in it for me
just another tired cliche
should have known better than to try and alter culture
deeper desires preside
they're under our skin
unrelenting
easier to give in
happy ending
but it's just the way things are
we can't change our parts
mine was just a side role from the start
you never could have been
much more than a friend
you knew this then
why pretend
whatever you get consider it a bonus
always second best
you’ll never be the focus
convenient while it worked
she left the second that it hurt
so don't cling onto the notion
you were more than just a moment
our top priority is someone who doesn’t yet exist
it's the traditional narrative
and such a shame that you don’t fit
but love is conditional
and you are not essential
love is conditional
yours inconsequential

Constellation
04:10
|
|||
tell me what you want
let's talk
let's be sure
that we know where we are
so far so good
is there anything better
than knowing that you love me
no them, or him or her
will ever take you from me
cos we communicate
and talk about our feelings
we just don't give this one thing
so much extra meaning
in my constellation these are my stars
and we know where we are
so don't be afraid to make the sky brighter
cos what's another light in the dark
love is infinite
so don't police it
bound only by time
and that's mine to deal with
i don't need your concern
i know you're just a bigot
you've got a lot to learn
or else a lot to stomach
it really gets your goat
and ruffles all your feathers
that we've got it all
and got it all together
trust should be a given
not hurting you implicit
if you have to keep tabs on them
then what kind of bond is it
i shouldn't have to sell this
it's the opposite of selfish
i'm not feeling angry
they want me to be so badly
but everything they don't do
we do so much better
so if we're sick and confused
let's stay like this forever
there's no one form of commitment
each situation's different
as the people in our lives
some things just cannot be defined
so let's go by what we want
instead of what we're told we're meant to
let's break this world apart
and make a new one we consent to
one with clear communication
informed in every situation
i'll say today, no hesitation
you are my constellation

Ego
03:11
|
|||
to the broken mind i give you your comfort
each and every uncertainty answered
i'll take your sins
you'll stay moving
rest assured the truth will soon be uncovered
you say that you know
everything i don't
and yet somehow
i'm the one with the ego
you lean on controversy
dream up an enemy
it's so much easier this way
i can't say much too much but something has shifted
when the stars align the veil will be lifted
know what you know
don't just think so
forgive, forget
those who aren't there yet
inner knowing came to nothing
where's our revolution?
inner knowing came to nothing
never revolution
history will repeat itself
when is our evolution?
history will repeat itself
there's never revolution
history will repeat itself forever
history will repeat itself
until the day we're done here

when we first came here
we were cold and we were clear
with no colours on our skin
we were light and paper-thin
and when we first came here
we were cold and we were clear
with no colours on our skin
til you let the spectrum in
say my name and every colour illuminates
we are shining
and we will never be afraid again
and when we come for you
we'll be dressed up all in blue
with the ocean in our arms
kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
and when it's time to pray
we'll be dressed up all in grey
with metal on our tongues
and silver in our lungs
and when we come back we'll be dressed in black
and you'll scream my name so loud
and we won't eat and we won't sleep
we'll drag bodies from the ground
so say my name as every colour illuminates
we are shining
and we will never be afraid again
