Hit Me 02:17
lyrics

I looked into the devil’s eyes He tells me that I’m Jesus Christ I just want to get some sleep Realised I must have died Waiting for my angles guide Floating in my immortality Hit me down my left side Hit me cut me open wide Hit me oh you don’t feel a thing Hit me rip out everything Hit me never fear again Hit me oh you won’t feel a thing My temple wants to explode I’m sinking down twelve feet below I’ll never go on this trip again A face no man should recognise I drew it through Picasso’s eyes Feelings, only a god should know Hit me down my left side Hit me cut me open wide Hit me oh you don’t feel a thing Hit me destroy everything Hit me I’ll never fear again Hit me I promise you won’t feel a thing

Less Ordinary 04:48
lyrics

Give me my time again I could be extra ordinary Give me my time, just one more time And I’ll live a life so less ordinary Sunsets that I’ve never seen, places that I’ve never been Hopes and dreams are caged in me, time and time it takes from me With the one that I could love, mundane we could rise above Together we could fly away, and live a life less ordinary Oh-ho, oh-ho, ah-ha, ah-ha, live a life less ordinary Oh-ho, oh-ho, ah-ha, ah-ha Twenty years from now I’ll be, old and looking back to see Lost opportunity, silenced words that should have been Whispered into your sweet ear, brave and true for you to ear Damn I’ll just embrace the fear, and live a life so ordinary Oh-ho, oh-ho, ah-ha, ah-ha Give me my time, just one more time I’ll be extra ordinary Please give me my time, one last time And I’ll live a life so less ordinary Déjà vu you’re back again, like an old unwanted friend Plaguing me until the end, haunting me beyond descend If you loop me back again, think I’d want it all to end Unless I could ascend, and live a life less ordinary Oh-ho, oh-ho, ah-ha, ah-ha, live a life less ordinary Oh-ho, oh-ho, ah-ha, ah-ha, live a life less ordinary Oh-ho, oh-ho, ah-ha, ah-ha, live a life less ordinary Give me, my time, one more time I promise to be, extra, ordinary Please if I could have my time, just one last time I’d live a life so less, ordinary

That's Alright 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Layered like a babushka doll I’m sure there’s one just for me But when you marked out your territory Oh that’s when it got all freaky hey And but that’s alright You might keep me awake all night But you’re not really my type Oh I could sense your frustration, when you said Go take a hike hey But that’s alright, yeah that’s alright Just another heartbroken, time share dalliance Hey don’t take it too personally At least we shared some romance Looking back now it’s clear to see Oh you took just what you needed The one thing your love couldn’t give you Oh not when you both bleed hey And that’s alright You hide your grief in a suitcase Opened so seductively But it’s your absence that shares your pain with me hey And that’s alright, yeah that’s alright Just another heartbroken, time share dalliance Hey don’t take it too seriously We never had a chance Sublime conspiracy rhymes Hey one or two may be right Oh you could make me so happy That’s why I, can’t have you in my life Oh yeah I, can’t have you in my life That’s right I, can’t have you in my life Hey but that’s alright, yeah that’s alright Just another heartbroken, time share dalliance Hey don’t take it so personally At least we shared the last dance

I really like her look It forces me to stare A body I could hold Run fingers through her hair I’m sure you’re looking too For someone other than me Your next little distraction Oh just to fill a need Replacement for you Replacement for me Replacements, that’s all we seem to be Hey, you were just a replacement too Replacements, don’t be deceived I really like her voice How it sings to me Much better than yours Replacement complete All the best in finding An upgrade from me I hope he writes you love songs Gives them away for free Replacement for you Replacement for me Replacements, that’s all we seem to be Hey, you were just a replacement too Replacements, don’t be deceived I hear you found someone To fit in between The replacement I was And the next one to be But don’t spare a thought For a found someone too And she makes love to me Almost as good as you Replacement for you Replacement for me Replacements, that’s all we seem to be Hey, you were just a replacement too Replacements, don’t be deceived

That I Love You 04:03
lyrics

Music tastes tick my snobbery I love how you list them alphabetically A little country, little rock and roll Your strawberry blonde locks Your blue eyes they just stole my Gaze from, flirting around Maybe I’ll, change my ways, I’ll even settle down You don’t watch, Game of thrones You live on my side of town Send a message to you, heart attached to be found I think I love you though I’ve never met you I don’t even know your name I know it’s crazy ‘cause I’ve never met you but I know that I, love you Awkwardly elegant, awfully nice Helps me to sleep, easy at night Singing and dancing you, play guitar I’m short on muses, maybe we could go far I want a music lover who’s funny and kind Two out of three, the missing well I’ll just hide A week crawls by ‘til you respond But now I, know your name, and you know mine I think I love you though I’ve never met you At least now I know your name I know it’s crazy ‘cause I’ve never met you but I know that I, love you Call me old school but I telephone We share favourite bands we, chit chat along A drink you suggest, that sounds nice Friday evening, the poisons on ice We text meaninglessly, the week leading up I wash my hair two days before So that it looks right Lucky shirt, favourite cowboy boots I walk through the door, a kiss to great you I think I love you though I’ve just met you A kiss hello and you could be mine I know it’s crazy ‘cause I’ve just met you but I know that I, love you I think I love you though I’ve just met you I know it’s crazy but I know that it’s true (x3) I think I love you though I’ve just met you

You keep talkin’, you’re in my space So energy sapping, get outta my face I hear your words, but I don’t understand Despite all these years, you don’t get it man Oh you can’t take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me You won’t ever understand In your arms, I’m so warm and safe But your demands, scare me away This love you share, again and again All this happiness, drives me insane Oh you can’t take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me You won’t ever understand Wrap your tradition, shove it up your arse You can’t book my happiness, in advance Religious rouse, capitalist hijack I’ll feel the joy, on my time man Oh you can’t take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me I know that you’ll never understand Do you remember, do you remember, do you remember, do you remember What you said, yeah I remember Just what you said, that’s right Oh I remember, stuck in my head All you gave me, was loneliness So don’t you take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me Don’t you take my loneliness from me You can’t take my loneliness from me Please don’t take away my loneliness

Can You Hear Me 03:23

Can you hear me, do you see me Can you feel me I see you talking, but I can’t hear what you say You reach to touch me, but you’re so far away You seem so sad, well you should be in my place Do you, still need me Can you see me, your eyes they cut right through me Blank cold vacant stare Do I know you, should I care what you say My mind keeps skipping, fading away A thought still flickers, but it never stays Do you, even care Can you hear me, do you see me Can you feel me, Vaguely familiar, were you my lover one day In Betty Blue, her lover ended her pain Just like a cuckoo, she flew far away Do you, still need me Can you see me, your eyes cut right through me Blank cold vacant stare Do I know you, do you come here most days Are you lonely, I see a tear on your face Something tells me, I knew you one day Do you, even care Can you hear me, do you see me Can you feel me I see you talking, but I can’t hear what you say You reach to touch me, but you’re so far away You seem so sad, you should be in my place Do you, still need me

The Castle 06:06
lyrics

This castle I built with these walls so tall Each year the trees grow I can’t see anymore My skin the veneer I wear, it cracks it sheds it falls Protecting, isolating, so macho, such a foil Once I loved my sabotage was cruel and veiled A king I’m not my queen well you’ve got calmer seas to sail Love still lives, it simmers, lingers, it nags It comforts so perversely never to prevail I’m gonna tear it down, I’m gonna watch it fall Immortalise me paint my portrait once more When my dust settles it will mingle with yours It’s all an illusion anyway Surely our creator’s, got greater games to play Least I loved I tasted it so pure, bitter, sour and sweet In my castle I decay while you go on in your quaint retreat, and I fear I’ll live it again, I’ll live it always This pain this isolation is my groundhog way I’m gonna tear it down, I’m gonna watch it fall I’m gonna tear it down, I’m gonna watch it fall I lost your hand and then I lost the plot I’ve got the one thing that only I can have It’s the, only thing that truly matters Your heart I hold without the means to shatter One final embrace, just one last smell I look into your eyes like when I first fell So deep inside that I touched your soul Hey, never turn back your secret’s untold Elephant kisses for you and me You know what I really need is, elephant kisses Tear it down, watch it fall Tear it down, watch it fall Tear it down, watch it fall Tear it down, watch it fall I’m gonna tear it down, I’m gonna watch it fall I’m gonna let it crumble, I’m gonna tear it down I’m gonna watch it fall, I’m gonna tear it down Tear it down, tear it down, tear it down
