Cool It 03:56
If you wanna become a memory, I’m not sure how long it will last I’m feeling, strangely lighter, If you wanna become a part of me, how long will your memory last? I’m feeding, the fire So cool it, cool it, cooool it, Cooool it… Coooo-ol it Cooo ooo oo ool it. If you wanna commit adultery, i’m feeling like we’re being watched, Just lets watch it roll past, And if you by way of validity, wanted to know how i’ll react I’ll trade yer clothes for that So cool it, cool it, cooool it, Cooool it… Coooo-ol it Cooo ooo oo ool it. Don’t let me down We’ll fit in right Won’t want it out I Wanna know now Cool it, cool it, cooool it, Cooool it… Coooo-ol it Cooo ooo oo ool it.

Just don’t know if I can do it, I had to have some help just to get to it, Too many voices in a cross fire, Your tattoo is so arty I don’t know if I can party with you! Wound up in negative headspace, Pulling me down into a spin Focused on my breathing, Don’t talk to me this evening I think I’m over acting now somebody else has started talking too! Courage is what I require, Do you concur I feel so tired What harm would some misery do? What is wrong with you? Caught up in the same old who do Does your time allow for mine? Back around once a while just to test I have a new smile that I just invented And oh trust me I’m embarrassed to try it By this fine faux fallacy Crazy’s gone walkies on his own again What’s the use in trying? I’ve been marginalised maligned through and through! Courage is what I desire, do you concur? I’m feeling tired. What harm would some misery do? What is wrong with you? WHISTLE Courage is what I desire! What harm would some misery do? What is wrong with you? You / You / You / You

Millions of people none of them going my way What are the chances they are imaginary? What are their choices? What differences do they make? Where could all of them be going to? Oh! CH Destiny breeds it’s own changes When you realise you’ve changed All the way I’m only going down a certain road It’s only one with forks that i am always coming to Oh! CH Destiny breeds it’s own changes, When you realise you’ve changed Everything new just out of view Now and then we turn the pages, We find we forgot the page, Everything new just out of view All of the bones you made came to nothing Everything beautiful out of view All of the love you made came to nothing SOLO Everything that you said came to nothing SOLO All of the love you made came to nothing All of the bones you made came to nothing. CH Every now and then it’s dangerous Only skin deep though they break Everything beautiful out of view All of the love you made came to nothing All of the love you made came to nothing

Merry - Go - Round Totally awesome buzz - Totally awesome turn - For the age we are we do a lot of those Or do we do them at all? Social asks and social norms, we’re hardly open to reform if we not careful we’ll carve out a cavern between us. Humble, feels, I feels left out, an evening left to check it out, My weekend has it all planned out, it’s peace in our peacetime It’s just a fatter of act I’ve felt the age we are for more than only a day (stops) i felt you trusting me then, did you notice? We’ve never said We trust each other, andy are we having a good time? All the water that dried up, its harder than to top up can i speak to you when you are on by the telephone? Call me where you are i’ve fallen for you again! and we’ll have to cool it off for the way we are we make a lot of jokes when we are the other way (whistle) Call me where you are I want to hear you again totally awesome drunk, I’m native where you are only for another day I’m giving up on my tour time I’m giving up all my call signs I’m giving up interaction I’m giving up on internalisation I’m giving up and moving on I’m picking up all the pieces I’m looking into recesses IN THE WORLD WE ARE!!! EVERYONE DESTROYS US!!! NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!

I’m still on the rebound, from my first real love, but when you are 19, who gives things up? I’m still healing from our first real touch, your head and your heart beat matched with mine. that never left my mind. I remember when Im with someone new, I think about all the things you and I would do. It brings back a fury, yeah i found anger with you, adjusted reality I fully commit to. I’m in love with a memory, that is so perfect. It keeps creeping up on me, challenging my regret Suddenly, 10 years on the bender, It’s a painful agenda, I will never be happy, blaming you. so I’m sorry if you meet me and I seem elsewhere. Thank you for asking - It’s not your problem, sure, lets leave it there.

I guess i never thought that i would see the day You and i would view the world in a similar way Vice voyeur and comfort On one handy page Glad of the forum of debate Hook me up on facebook We can be friends there We can live to click like and share Hook me up on facebook We can be friends there We can learn to click like and share Seen a group in there for riot preparation And a group in there for kids with movie names Seen a group in there for hipster congregation And a group on there for fans of tardigrades I guess I never thought it could ever go wrong I message you on that chat app and try string you along Nothing ever happens, a year is much too long. Its as if you never log on! Hook me up on facebook Can we be friends there? Can we live to click like and share? Hook me up on facebook Can we be friends there? We can learn to click like and share I live with the potential for disgrace I’m in a group on there for meme proliferation In a group on there for films that seem deranged In a group on there for brave new world creation In a group on there for fans of tardigrades Hook me up on facebook Can we be friends there? We can learn to click like and share Hook me up on Facebook Can we be friends there? we can learn to click like and share - oh yeah! Hook me up on Facebook!

Honestly 04:19
If you can fit into my life, my life leaving everything just the way you find it’s not what I can do for you, I do not tow the line it’s so easy to be languid all the time Im distracted by you, whats your story? maybe ill call you if I’m looking for a time? Won’t take to much of it, i do not need it Go on, belong that way to anything at all I -I -I -I ch honestly its not a difficult question I am just a sand dune blowing around and in case i cant get out of my comfort zone I can now agree, it’s bringing me down when you bring news into life If you bring news into We;re building a nice story! if you prefer the truth, then none of us survive and you’re so elegant at living life I noticed instantly, you’re disappointed Is it still living if to get loose beneath a knife? I say thank you but can not stay the while! ch honestly its not a serious question I am just a sand dune blowing around if you can not get out of my comfort zone I can now agree, it’s bringing me down when you bring news into life when you bring news into life If you bring news into We;re building a nice story! when you bring news into life when you bring news into life when you bring news into life when you bring news into when you bring news into life when you bring news into life when you bring news into life were bulding a nice story x 2 when you bring news into life x10

Thank you for coming it's time to go home you're on the ceiling come on lets go so much emotion for us to go through in the confusion i signal to you you’re not receiving; the things we go through! I’m an imaginative kind of a guy an I thought you’d imagined me too Yeah I thought that was why everything became clearer at the end truth is my timing relied on a pause somewhere between us, the line becomes yours i'm a meandering kind of a guy you've been meandering too and I thought that was why x2 callused my fingers so bleed at the end truth is my fingers they bleed anyway keep on regardless though you never say it’s cause you are happy with what you have achieved i’d like to see clearly from the back of the room simple beautiful space expands through you im not distancing myself from you but it seems like what's coming true now you're my last truth x3 im walking away before you get too instrumental break you're my last truth x3 love you last truth now im walking away before you get too

Strange in these times, everything looks set to deplete All i wanna do with you is be, creative Gently, with your worldy multi faceted formation, A resonance Thats clear Uninterested and lacking in concentration In anything else Because of this Meaning aint going to settle my frustration Will anything, settle it? No, get up and take the mother-fucking motion. In spite of me? In spite of me

This feeling has lost all meaning as I go back to work wherever i used to stand I lost a live old man, forgot to cause his curse I Concentrate on one thing oh nevermind Well at least things work! That’s easier :) Well at least things work! That’s easier :) Now I’m in my dress and looking my best When my best impression, is at my desk When you feel that burn ya feel abreast at best stirring up some words.. and everyone just says “yes” When at least things work, its easier x3 When you see things work, every malfunction hurts And if its not in jest, do you do your best? What is the time, to get it all online? and when the failure’s fun, you fail on purpose When you see things work every malfunction hurts x3 and without training, the perfect train comes in and then the drone’s are out, but nobody gets hurt and there’s a door open, i dunno know how it works When you can’t come first, you walk and talk and come last When you see things work every malfunction hurts x3 Well if you won’t come first, you might as well come last. So you can walk and talk, hear it here first. Well if you won’t come first, you might as well come last. Is it the long way round? Now all the words are out. When you see things work every malfunction hurts x3
