Unpredictable
Like waves
She's unpredictable
Like waves
Unpredictable
Like waves
She's unpredictable
Like waves
She's unpredictable
Like waves
That is what she is to me
Unpredictable like waves
Is it any wonder
She keeps coming back again
Can I stay back
Can I stay back
I'm too far gone
Got a path set for me
Tides of fate
Wash up my feet
Unpredictable like waves
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Unpredictable
Like
Waves
I can't go yet
So much to do and say
Do I really have to lay
And say goodbye
And drown it all out
And think it all through
Where I went wrong
No time left to doubt
Oh god
Here she comes
Don't sail me back home

Indicators

News shows traffic built up due to new
Unclear signs of what happens after
Turn left or right you have to choose
Don't sit still there'll be a car crash or two
It's a busy world to slow down for a few
Keep on working till your round and found dead
Be yourself? You have no right to choose
We tell you who to kiss, you must birth too
Who are we? Shh better not ask
Penalized if you dare be out of class
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
There's so many signs
Pointing this way, go that way
Buy this and do that and be this person
The best signs are natural directions
Without greed, benefit of power
Your responsive protection
Who cares if we regress back a few
Drinks and parties are no big issue
Blame it on the lame and accrue
It's a busy world to slow down for a few
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Reduce the time, reduce the effort
Click away, give way
Up and up and up we go
It's always a moving world
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
Indicate your way
My brain is mush, my doctors tell me again
Indicate your way
Call me a hypochondriac, attribute for my sins
Indicate your way
I cannot speak, morality's in a den
Indicate your way
I'm past the crash, I've my reserved my place by then

Drama
04:07
|

There's drama
There's news
There's drama
And it's cooking up too
There's beef
Put in a stew
There's drama
And it's cooking up too
Rumours spreads around
Killing the married bonds
Cough it some gossip
Divide the family
Pragmatic exilers
To drown out for fixtures
Life's a one way stream
But keep splitting at those seams
There's drama
There's news
There's drama
And it's cooking up too
There's beef
Put it in a stew
There's drama
And it's fun fun fun
They said this
He said that
She said she said
I know what it's like to be dead
Oi you! Stop that right there
Verbal crossfire
No sides claim victory
Verbal crossfire
Burns apart history
Bash the knees
Of unschooled enemies
Petty squawks
Distract your misery
There's drama
There's news
There's drama
And it's cooking up too
There's drama

Start My Depression
05:28
|
|||
Make me flinch
Call me an embarrassment
Pull my ear
Force a constant losing battle
I don't matter anyway
Discipline ain't meant to teach
It's just an easy way to your goodnight's sleep
It was just an easy way
Start my depression
I'm sorry I'm having one of those days
Start my depression
Make me blame my teenage angst
Cause you
Start my depression
Are you oblivious to my cries
Critic everything but yourself
Those verbal knives cut open anxieties
Wish I could have a conversation
But nobody can say a word back to you
Time and time again
Yelling behind my door
But you weren't there
No one's ever there
It's things like these
I wanted to be happier
I want to be like everybody else
Now you've raised a freakshow
A walking ca-talking catastrophe
Cause
You
Start my depression
I'm sorry I'm having one of those days
Start my depression
I've bottled it up
I've joked about it
But all I wanna do
Is scream and about it
Start my depression
Start my depression
Start my depression
Approving words make me feel unwanted
Start my depression
Take out your misery on close ones
Start my depression
We can't fake our smiles much longer
Start my depression
I just wanna talk to you
Keep lying to fresh faces
Keep pretending there's no bitter sides
Our house is home to needed therapy
And now we have to live the rest of our lives
I know we all have our faults
But sometimes, maybe, they're acceptable
But I don't care
And I think neither do you
Cause at the end of the day
They'll be at our funerals for the drinks

Bleeding On A New Moon
07:10
|
|||
I'm bleeding on a new moon
I'm dying just to feel something
I'm tempted for this last wound
Alvuana dawns upon me
I say to my mother
The wolf draws closer
Their whistle's howling stronger
Mother turns the other eye
She says don't worry about that boy
You're far to young to think that way
Just drink and it will be okay
Just drink and it will be okay
So I thought it would be ok
If it's something adults have to worry about
Then surely I could suffice
But that lingering thought
The wolf coming closer and closer
The inevitability of it all
When will it come
What will it be
I just
I break and I break down
The pieces that surround me
I build it back to distract myself
I build up an immunity
I've lost the spares along the way
Can you cry out all your tears
Cause after all these years
Don't think I've got any left in me
Cause I'm bleeding on a new moon
I'm dying just to feel something
I'm tempted for this last wound
Alvuana dawns upon me
If my mother couldn't help
Maybe my old man felt to try
But was he happy I was born
Or did he only want the sex for porn
Did the thought of me scare you
The thought of me
Growing into someone you'd knew
After all my unread messages
I realize all these
Problems start with you
Heaven fell down on me, down on me.
It was all at the age of decade, of a decade
Every night I thought I'd decay, I'd rot away
Never speak, I could never say, I'd never say
Heaven fell down on me, down on me
All my prayers never reached, never reached
I asked could I run away, run away
From my falling family, my family
My family, family
My family, family
Cause I'm bleeding on a new moon
I'm dying just to feel something
I'm tempted by this last wound
Alvuana dawns upon me
I'm bleeding on a new moon
I'm dying just to feel something
I'm tempted by this last wound
Alvuana dawns upon me
Alvuana dawns upon me
Alvuana dawns upon me

Mindless
06:36
|
|||
Mindless searching
Awaiting something good
Mindless scrolling
Excusing what you could
Mindless watching
Observing flame burn wood
Mindless fiction
Change terrifies
Me and you
But what can you do
It's happening
It's burning
We're drowning
This future seems vacant
Inconceivable
But too near
Mindless ticking
The small print never read
Mindless blocking
Dying voices put to bed
Mindless liking
Written quotes not to be said
Mindless façade
Don't ever break the loop
We're in for good
We're locked inside the design
We're scared to face
The changes that are
Calling you
From the outside
You never see people pick and choose
But those highlights keep depressing you
Keep scrolling, finding something to do
But look these plastic bags of content are brand new
For me, I use to distract myself
The world is falling more off it's shelf
Suffocating's bad for your health
But I stopped breathing I think that helps
Mindlessly awaiting
Mindlessly awaiting
Mindlessly awaiting
Mindlessly awaiting for a cure to come
Feel that daunting weight quietly slumber
Whispers don't leave you'll be dead in thunder
Stay online and be in touch for a few
But look how connected we all grew
Make sure you have yourself a side
Behave a certain way and they'll decide
Please forget thinking for yourself
All for the cost to stay civilised
What ever happened to peace and love
What ever happened to helping strangers
What ever happened to being one world
What ever happened to no push for shove
All these expectations cause tensions to rise
Binary oppositions over time
Human borders further synthesized
There goes our private lives
Where the hell did all the good times go
I want to distract myself but I feel more woe
Getting fixated on skewed stories though
I can't believe any of it to be true
I can't tell who's motivated
Or those who are uneducated
There's such a stark difference in-between
But you're never going to see behind the screen
Satire or truth
The lines blend more and more
It's just another short boost so
I don't mourn anymore
You see they want me to love this hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I don't want to live in the real world
I'll pay my time for the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
I'm in love with the hyperreal world
Mindless searching
Awaiting something good
Mindless scrolling
Excusing what you could
Mindless watching
Observing flame burn wood
Mindless singing
I think it's time for a new song

An Honest Man
03:30
|
|||
An honest man lives in a broken dream
Trapped inside a perfect reality
Copy and paste a hopeful face
Yet inside its an unspeakable tragedy
It's hard to take the first step
But once you're out, it's all out
But my worries caught
The words on my mouth
Oh I wish I could be
An honest man
Oh I wish I could be
An honest man
An honest man lives in living lies
The serpent of human politeness
Wrapped between his thighs
Say it, the honest man's a selfish one
Wanting a life's worth of validity
Being manly is to be a stranger to your truth
But I'm too far gone, I'm singing this song
You just lost the confidence game
Now you're losing face, losing faith in your name
Built comfort with building blocks
Now the pressure's tumbling right in front of me
I'm not trying to get your sympathy
But
Is this really what I want for me
Is there a who I want to be
Oh I wish I could be
An honest man
Oh I wish I could be
An honest man
Hit it
An honest man
An honest man
Oh I wish I could be
An honest man
Oh I wish I could be
An honest man

The End of the Road
03:42
|
|||
Sirens are blazing
The panic sets in
People rush to loved ones
Moments before life's end
Balconies of families
Painted with hellish skies
It's out of their hands
Fate controls our demise
It's the end of the road
It's the end of the world
It's the end but
What can you do about it
It's the end of the road
It's the end of the world
It's the end but
What can you do about it
Take them back to mother's womb
Kill them naked, why don't you
They wanted to grow old and live the world
But it's useless, it's useless, it's useless to dream
Should theists rejoice
In global succession
Meeting their gods too soon
Without question
Should Earth close it's curtains
No future for certain
No memories left to be made
All our decisions and thoughts
All the wars that we have fought
It all came to nothing today
It's the end of the road
It's the end of the world
It's the end but
What can you do about it?
It's the end of the road
It's the end of the world
It's the end but
What can you do about it?
People are crying, and dying too soon
Man-made asteroids, man we were our doom
It all came to nothing today
It's the end of the road
It's the end of the world
It's the end but
What can you do about it?
It's the end of the road
It's the end of the world
It's the end but
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
What can you do about it?
It's the end of the road
It's the end of our world
It's the end but
What can you do about it?

Lone Sailor
04:32
|
|||
Seems like time's finally caught up
The boat's left the dock
I'm crossing the bar out
To the deep blue abyss
Born from sea, out on sand
Set course to new land
Headway lying a-hull
Lies the fear for the unknown
But before I leave be
To the one's that loved me
For you see
I'm
I'm a lonely sailor
Sailing down my way
Not a shore in sight
Till I die
It's a cold cold body
No beacon of light
To guide me home
In this night
No words left to write
Just one promise
I'll be alright
Blow a kiss in the sky for me
To keep my memory alive
Visit me over the hill
Where the hunter lies
Home is the sailor
Home from the sea
Home is the sailor
Home away from sea
Home is the sailor
Home away from sea
Home is the sailor
Home away from sea
But before I leave be
To the one's that loved me
For you see
I'm
I'm a lonely sailor
Sailing down my way
Not a shore in sight
Till I die
It's a cold cold body
No beacon of light
To guide me home
In this night
No words left to write
But I promise you
I'll be alright
I'm a lonely sailor
Sailing down my way
Not a shore in sight
Till I die
It's a cold cold body
No beacon of light
To guide me home
In this night
No words left to write
Under this wide starry night
The sea shines so bright
No words left to write
But I promise you
I'll be alright

Campfire Songs
05:16
|
|||
Come down to the hill
Where night light's Brentwood's trees
Trail by the pond's
Tranquil serene
Nature's reserved seats
Front view by the stars
Pile up our logs
The show will start
So we learn their campfire songs
We play their lullaby
Play to keep fire
Burning alive
So we all singalong
To their campfire songs
Why we all gather for
To their campfire songs
The curtain call nears
We cry out encore
This night's moonlit stage
Is all yours
"Thank you for yourselves", the star says
For paving my road
But keep me in mind
Forever in ode
Waves may wash all
Steps on sea floors
With all their flaws
Save what we saw
We place
Our stones
In the sand
So we all singalong
To their campfire songs
Why we all gather for
To their campfire songs
For those all who are gone
To their campfire songs
It's all we have left
Pour this toast for them
So we all singalong
To our campfire songs
Well we all gather from
To their campfire songs
To those all who are gone
To our campfire songs
So let's all singalong
To our campfire songs
So let the fire blaze all through the night
So let the sailor row and say goodbye
So let the cities burn but hold each other tight
Don't forget to blow a kiss for the sky
So we all singalong
To our campfire songs
Why we all gather for
To their campfire songs
To those all who are gone
To our campfire songs
So let's all singalong
To our campfire songs
Oh my Mnemosyne
Oh my Phanes
Bye-bye Bye-bye
Bye-bye Bye-bye
