Little Things
03:55
|

With a little time, and a little space
When you clear your mind.
It's amazing how things fall into place
That's what I find.
We lose ourselves in trivialities
Become preoccupied.
With these pointless banalities
Our hands are tied
And I try yes I try
But I can't escape the voice inside my mind
God knows I've tried so many times
It's the little things that kill
It's the little things that kill you in the end
Then you realise what's most important
in your life.
Cut it back to basics
Try so hard to minimalist
But the more you search
It seems the less you're bound to find
Running round in circles
Getting lost and left behind
And I try yes I try
But I can't escape the voice inside my mind
God knows I've tried so many times
It's the little things that kill
It's the little things that kill you in the end
Just a little more or a little less
I can't decide
Am I turning left, am I turning right
Am I low or high?
All this overthinking drives me mad
I overanalyse.
Try my very best to simplify
This complicated life.
And I try yes I try
But I can't escape the voice inside my mind
God knows I've tried so many times
It's the little things that kill
It's the little things that kill you in the end

Alone Together
03:01
|
|||
I’m in solitary again
I don’t even know my crime
And this cage that’s holding me in
Is entirely my own design
Fundamental human need
Has brought me to my knees
Synapse fire in my brain
Save me from the pain
We can be alone together
Together Alone
We can be alone together
Together alone
Say your name you don’t reply
Spark never ignites
Watch my words fall into the void
As they cross the great divide
Heart aches for your company
Ultimately I concede
Narcissistic tendencies
Fraying at the seams
We can be alone together
Together Alone
We can be alone together
Together alone
And the price we paid
For the life we made
Is going to haunt us
For the rest of our days
We can be alone together
Together alone

21st Century Bore
03:04
|

Plucks out his eyebrows
Sprays on the tan
What a magnificent age
Worships the image
He sees in the glass
Barely suppressing his rage
No alcohol no drugs no fun at all
He’s a master of self control
Asexual by choice not by design
Dysmorphic detoxified soul
21st century bore
21st century bore
21st century bore
Green eyed and hurting
She paints on a smile
Time for her latest release
The marks on her face
Are erased and replaced
But the scars in her mind still remain
Papers the cracks as her world falls apart
Losing herself in the reel
There's always somebody ahead of the game
Leaves such a hollow feel
21st century bore
21st century bore
21st century bore
Descent into blandness
Continues at speed
Is this what we want?
Has the future been sold?
Am I just growing old?
I can’t face being alone
This shallow control
It leaves me cold
21st century bore
21st century bore
21st century bore

Trouble
03:10
|
|||
Well here we go again
A storm in a teacup
Friends become enemies
Enemies friends
And everywhere you turn
They’re all out to get you
It was all just a matter of time
(Should have been…
Lesson learned
Now the wheel’s come off
And you’re burned
You say you’ve got the best intentions
I doubt that somehow
Wherever you go
And whatever you do
Trouble will find you
Trouble will find you
You say you’ve got the best intentions
But I doubt that somehow
Whatever you say
And whatever you do
Trouble will be there
Waiting for you
You’ve mastered the art
Of playing the victim
Of playing with fire
Without getting burned
With every passing day
You’re getting ever closer
To the moment it all slips away
(Should have been…)
Lesson learned
Now the wheel’s come off
And you’re burned
And when it rains, my god it pours
Do you ever stop to think
The problem might be you?
That’s right, the problem might be you?
