Old Youth Feeling
02:58
|
|||
|
Well we all muck up just a little bit
And we fight our fear till we live with it
This isn’t quite the dream, didn’t picture my life
Three kids deep in the burbs, resenting my wife
So I bought a brand new motorbike
Never rode one so I thought I might
Strap in and take punt, throw caution to wind
Who cares about cholesterol, blood getting thin
And its hard to be a man, you see
In a mid life crisis fantasy
Write down a bucket list, try something for taste
Yeah, find a new frontier, put a smile on your face
You’re too late, too lonely
Wrong when you think that you’re right
Staying up late at night
Did you discover an old youth feeling
In the back of the car
See a place from the start
Did you discover an old youth feeling
Wrong when you think that you’re right
Staying up late at night
Did you discover an old youth feeling
Old, you feeling old?
You feeling old?
You feeling old youth feeling
And although I left my family
I’ll always be the enemy
Who cares if all the pipe dreams didn’t work out
You’re a wreck at 42, fat & full of self doubt
Subscribe to an online dating site
You’re a sick sex tourist stereotype
Unburdened by your mortgage, faltering knees
Just take another upper for your downer disease
You’re too late, too lonely
Age is really starting to show
Hair was always gonna recede
Aches and pains are starting to grow
Liberty is what you need
Till you’re free

Diamond

You’re sorted, can hardly wait
It’s gonna be great
Life works out just like you plan it
Linen, clothing all white
Seep well at night
Cocktail of diazepam and
Perfect on a pedestal
Heaven instead of hell
Hardships a struggle you can’t get it
Says a lot about your sheltered life
Just a stay at home wife
Reality TV star in waiting
Smiling, Styling
All of the world has to know
If you’re shining, diamond
Shimmer is all just for show
Silver spoon up your ass
Got an issue of class
Looking down on the empty handed
Higher education breeds ego
Query ‘what do you mean though’
Denying your own advantage
Scratch off your perfect surface skin
We don’t need looking in
The substance is all thin and tripe
It’s perfect yards
From their credit cards
It doesn’t look that hard
I don’t really understand all the hype
Smiling, Styling
All of the world has to know
If you’re shining, like a diamond
Shimmer is all just for show

In the Middle (Of It)
03:08
|
|||
|
She comes from outer space
I wonder what kind of music taste
She makes her boyfriend buy her
Surrounded in between
You’re the rock and he’s the hard place in my dream
I wait, but you’re a liar
Spends her spare time down in hell
A wonder why she hasn’t been sleeping well
It’s late, and someone’s lying
I’m not so stupid see
Don’t wanna be a false priority
Dead weight, I’m sick of trying
If you know how to bait me
Why do you hate me
Shouldn’t be suddenly caught in the middle of it
If you know how to bait me
Why do you hate me
Shouldn’t be suddenly caught in the middle of it
Confusion wait and see
I question why you always talk to me
Frustrated from the silence
Dripping in hope, covet
Wondering why you haven’t felt it yet
Somethings are not worth trying
You like your time with me
A conversation built effortlessly
Like dates without the kissing
I hope it changes soon
The way you make me feel when you walk in the room
We’re mates, but somethings missing

Coming to Get Me
03:34
|
|||
|
Wait at the gates for something great
I can feel, I can taste the arrival
Head out today, you just got paid
Unreal, no wait, burn ya bible
And break your chains, eclipse your fate
No shame in your name you’re an idol
Stand at the plate, eat all you can take
It’s your party, look at your party
I’ll be free like the promise see
I’m the prophecy, coming to get me
(It seems crazy that you’re coming to get me)
Burn out too gross, you’re so morose
Didn’t save for the rainy weather
You learnt the most when you were broke
It’s called money, it’s like a tether
A shattered hope, a suicide note
In the bath when we thought you were better
My muscles choke, my heart explodes
It’s your funeral, look at your funeral
It seems crazy that you’re coming to get me

Alone Again
02:42
|
|||
|
As I walk around the streets of home
I start to feel more self absorbed
I’m alone again, but it must be more that
As I trod along the track of life
I get tripped by fear, burn out my light
And I’m alone again, but it must be more than that
And I could loan a friend, but I’d still be feeling flat
Cause' I’m alone again
On my phone pretend
Seven day weekend
I’m my own best friend
Cause' I’m alone again
Every night at ten
I get lonely when
I’m alone again
It’s a puzzle piece and I must find
The part of me that I don’t mind
Get a donor, lend something
That someone can’t by
But you’re alone again
All these questions, asking why

Paint over cracks
This could be everything you wanted
Oh I know it’s only what you hope for
But could change for good
You can be so unkind
I see you for your fault side
Theirs no need to fold it up and to hide
To embrace, I should
You could be right for me baby
But I go anyway
You could be everything I needed
But don’t know what to say
You hold my life so gently in the palm of your hands
But I’m so scared of decisions, commitments and plans.
Happy is achievable
Don’t push into the future
You don’t need to be that hopeless do ya
It could change for good
Your mind is so unwell
So empty from the inside
Theirs no use in bailing when you wanna hide
But you feel like you could
I’m on it.

You got loose legged
You bailed out when youre nervous
And that’s so fitting
You get out, you get out
You get out of your plans
Said that your wasting all your talent away
You put a face on it just to get through the day
Appalling taste to it, but you don’t know what to say
It goes on, it goes on
They take it out of your hands
Sheepish and lost the glow
I really have to go
Senses i can’t control
I lost the rope, I’m in the hole
Feel like a vampire
Skin searching for light
Vitamin deficient
From staying up every night
Crack a cold one
You never put up a fight
It goes on, it goes on
They take it out of your hands
Stitch over every hole with a thread
And bake a loaf of sourdough bread
Undress the dirty sheets on your bed
And address the bad things that you said
As you realise that you were misled
Theirs no use in Existential dread
And bake a loaf of sourdough bread
As you know that your blood isn’t poisoned with lead
So sleep on it, put your problems away
Got a receipt for it, deal another day
Cold feet for it, still don’t know what to say
What goes on, what goes on, what goes on in your head?
What goes on, what goes on, what goes on in your head?
What goes on, what goes on, what goes on in your head?

Mars & Venus
03:53
|
|||
|
Picked on for long hair
Always saying that I care too much
Didn’t try to act tougher than I was
Drama kid who’s exiled just because
I didn’t fit well
Anybody could tell I was trapped in
Didn’t like the contact football much
Thought the spice girls packed more of a punch
But I relate more to my mother packing lunch
If men are from Mars and girls are from Venus
I’d be much happier without a penis
As my self righteous virtue signalling completes it
I suppress so much more than just thoughts and true feelings
I’m alone
Confidence binding
My sisters are guiding all my influence
Never punched a hole in a dry wall
Yeah you must be good at football, you’re so tall

Bridge
03:07
|
|||
|
Get in the lane and you ask me if
We need to take the next turn, drive off a cliff
Subtly binding, arms are stiff
Telling yourself that you can handle it
When I need to tell you something
Get it off my chest, it’s pumping and
I’m frightened of the fear that’s
Building up and bubbling
The bottle neck is caving in
My patience has been wearing thin
I need to get it out, so
If I get to say it girl
My love for you is like a bridge worth building for two
And thinking it’ll change my world
My heart unfurls just like ribbon and I’m smitten, its you
Hedging our bets on body language
Spreading our nets because of anguish
Are you thinking of me day to day
Or is it more like background noise on replay
I need to get rewarded
Validation, somehow bored of
Begging for no apathy
It’s crushing me, and no way out
I suffocate, I scream and shout
You’re listening, but hollow out
I bite them in my teeth, so
If I get to say it girl, my love for you is like a bridge worth building for two
I’m thinkin it’ll make you hurl, my heart unfurls like ribbon and I’m smitten its you
If I get to say it girl, my love for you is like a bridge worth building for two
I’m thinkin it’ll change my world, my heart unfurls, it’s like ribbon and I’m smitten,
It’s you

Microwaver

It can all start with a post on your feed
You go weak at the knees, and you’re drooling
It’s primal, survival is living off pay packet to pay packet
When you’re spending exponentially it’s too hard just not to have it
You want it, you need it
Your glut and your greed it
Is slowly warping you
Acquiring status
But none of it matters
Your assets are blocking the view
Health is cool but it won’t save ya
Buy a body simulator
That looks good I’ll eat it later
Cook you in a microwaver
And I know that everybody says I’ve got a lot
But then I just can’t help this want for something more
It’s like grass is always greener cause the world is getting meaner
But I worry not about my credit score
You want it, you need it
Your glut and your greed it
Is slowly warping you
Acquiring status
But none of it matters
Your assets are blocking the view
Health is cool but it won’t save ya
Buy a body simulator
That looks good I’ll eat it later
Cook you in a microwaver
Addicted, you’ve got your flavour
Try and break a bad behaviour
That looks good I’ll eat it later
Cook you in a microwaver
Tell me when I’ll be free, what I need
Will you give it to me?
Tell me when I’ll be free, what I need,
I’M TURNING INTO A MACHINE
