Caught Up 03:48

V1 By design I'm at the front of the battle line who am I to be in charge of my own life? Expected to be wise please don't act surprised Another sleepless night extremely hot or is that just my mind waking up? I think I thought a thought but maybe not scatter brained am I going insane? Chorus I've got everything I need I'm impossible to please I'm caught up I get caught out Can't smell the flowers see the trees No apologies I'm caught up I get caught out I'm useless and it seems I won't achieve anything Caught in a rut it's the same old routine Now I draw a line and scream help V2 I resign to all the little things I'm building up this structure will be envied by everyone I'll charge an entry fee and we can all drink tea while analyzing me don't that sound fun? Imagine us all lounging in the sun with cinnamon scrolls and apple sponge They must be Gluten free and have no dairy is that a possibility? Chorus Can somebody hear me? Bridge By design I'm at the front of the battle line who am I to be in charge of my own life? Expected to be wise please don't act surprised Another sleepless night extremely hot (When I finally write a song...) or is that just my mind waking up? (that is worthy of your cause...) I think I thought a thought but maybe not (Will I even tell you at all...?) Am I going insane? (will I keep it all to myself?) I'm finding power in my flaws (Am I going insane?) They're too beautiful to ignore (Am I going insane?) Will I even tell you at all? (Insane) At all Chorus (Can somebody hear me?) Now I draw a line and scream help (Can somebody hear me?) Now I draw a line and scream help Can somebody hear me?

Inhale 03:36
lyrics

V1 If I have to inhale to go to sleep Does that mean that I breathe too much? I wake up late and curse myself Say I’m gonna stop But I don’t, I don’t want to Face the fact I’m fine with that Chorus Who are you to say you think that the devil sits with me? If punk rock fried my brain I am not ok V2 I think that it’s time to call this in dial 111 Tell them that I’ll never sleep again Another laptop meal and movie deal Photoshop and sex appeal Addicted to denying We are all together dying Chorus Interlude Chorus Who are you to say you think that the devil sits with me? If punk rock fried my brain I am not ok Breakdown/outro If I have to inhale to go to sleep, do I breathe too much? If punk rock fried my brain I don’t give a… Wake up late and curse myself Blame it on my mental health Blame it on my mental health I don’t want to

Born to Misbehave 03:38
lyrics

V1 Just around the second bend you realise what a fool you’ve been This is where the violins start their mocking attack Oh ohs Shit! You caught me red handed in the middle of the act I guess if it’s over, well there’s no going back I cannot disguise myself anymore The truth of it was written in a universal law Chorus I have tried so many to change my ways But even if I could I was born to misbehave V2 No longer can you ignore this pretty red flag Don’t dare say there’s no warning Well I know the reputation I have The evidence is gleaming in the pristine morning light I won’t bother asking why you chose to come inside Chorus The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree That doesn’t really mean a lot to me My mother’s pretty tolerant But she wouldn’t put up with the shit that I do Yeah You’re looking for a reason for this crime You’re looking for a way to compromise Your part in this Cause you can’t handle it You can’t handle it Chorus Hey hey hey You can’t handle it X2 I cannot disguise myself anymore You can’t handle it X2

Heavy Metal Runaway 03:59
lyrics

V1 I see through your disguise fueled by alcoholic lies that rely on fake alibis It’s all about control up your sleeve in your soul You hide behind silk screen eyes Yeah Try to catch a glimpse of what you’ve got to give Or what your determined to hide Too afraid to try look into your own eyes For what you might realise CHORUS I know it sounds too good to be true You’re a heavy metal runaway Dancing in the back of the room V2 Fake it till you make it baby There’s something sexy bout How deeply you’re in denial I might be prone to temper tantrums sometimes Drama is the spice in my life So if you’re into unpredictability You’re in the right place at the right time CHORUS (Try to catch a glimpse of what you’ve got to give) All dressed in black you’re mysterious yeah (Too afraid to try look into your own eyes) No you don’t give a damn You just take what you can All the girls they’re turned in your direction But I see through your love for your reflection CHORUS x2 (Try to catch a glimpse of what you’ve got to give) All dressed in black you’re mysterious yeah (Too afraid to try look into your own eyes) No you don’t give a damn You just take what you can

Fire 03:42
lyrics

V1 You were the one and I wish I had told you that Now you’re walking home drunk and it finally feels like a fact I broke your heart but I gave you all of me You set Fire to house and you felt momentarily free Chorus We know fires don’t last forever We’re both hopeless romantics And we thought maybe it would work out in the end One day we’ll meet again V2 Remember the night that you walked through a storm just to see My face frozen and blurry on some old computer screen Oh all the memories and how they have haunted me Well it’s time to let go and let myself be finally free Chorus Bridge Why did it end up this way? Wish I never called that day Wish you didn’t move far away You did it’s ok I choked on these words for so long But now the pain is long gone Now the pain is long gone I’ll admit that we got it wrong We were naive to dream at all The flames burn embers now Chorus

Just Be 03:50
lyrics
buy track
V1 You're in my way a feeble grip on my attention I whisper stay and I'm not sure if I should listen Is it so fucked up that I wanted to? Each time you break my heart will I run back to you? I drink vodka and I give in Kiss my lips hush my demons till I'm completely numb Chorus We were both raised on songs about car crash hearts and how everyone's falling apart if I just lay here will you lay here with me? V2 We play these games too many times to justify patiently wait as I hesitate it's so fucked up that I wanted to your break my heart but I love you still and I drink vodka and I give in kiss my lips hush my demons see in your eyes your prayers have been answered now everything falls apart Chorus x2 Oh oh, oh no, oh oh I though oh oh, oh no here we go My head spins oh oh I will never understand the way I feel about you I'm a hopeless romantic darling I never let go I never let go I never let go... Chorus Layered vocal lines: (Addictions cause friction and friction makes sparks, this kind of romance burns deep in the heart. In the heart) (Is this our sundown? Is it just insanity? If I just lay here, will you lay here with me?) (I'm a hopeless romantic, I won't let this go...)
