Shoulda known it was gonna go like this
when work slowed to a crawl
I got this sinking feeling
I’m headed for a fall
Sent me home, now I gotta pack my shit
Got paid nothing at all
I got this sinking feeling
I’m headed for a fall
You can only defy gravity so long
before you finally realise that something’s wrong
We’re coasting and gliding and floating and riding
I’m wasting my time, wasting my time
Always thought that I could handle anything
Built to weather all
But doors slam everywhere I turn
Waiting in the hall
Everybody knows, but we never read
the writing on the wall
till we get that sinking feeling
we’re headed for a fall
You can only defy gravity so long
before you finally realise that something’s wrong
We’re coasting and gliding and floating and riding
I’m wasting my time, wasting my time
Try to see it all
When I’m in freefall
You can only defy gravity so long
before you finally realise that something’s wrong
We’re coasting and gliding and floating and riding
I’m wasting my time, wasting my time
Try to proceed but you can’t see for so long
before you finally realise that something’s gone
We’re coasting and gliding and floating and riding
I’m wasting my time, wasting my time
Try to see it all...

Reclamation

I don't buy this storyline
I can't watch these threads align
I’ve seen the way they manipulate
The circumstances to change our rate
It’s never enough to fill their empty hole
They'll keep on squeezing I’m a lump of coal
I can see the warning signs
So I'm stepping out of line
I can’t sit around here and wait to see
Indentured servitude in store for me
I’m opting out of this economy
Won’t help them manufacture scarcity
I'm lacing up because it's time to go
Taking the streets we're going to let them know
We haven't been fooled by their petty games
We're marching together gonna stake our claims
And you know we don't mind getting busted
But I hope the police can be trusted
I’ll stand and I’ll try
To remind them that I
Can take back what is mine
Now I hope that we ain't getting busted
Cause I know the police can't be trusted
I will stand and I'll try
I won't quickly die
If we ain’t getting by

Consequential Matters
03:46
|
|||
Last night it was on your screen
Tonight outside your window
You can bury your head
but some things just won't leave you alone
It'll dig you out, kick you down
Leave you in a broken heap
When this world is closing in on you
There are some things that you can't keep
I said it's time to make your plans
and you said I'm happy where I am
And then you said
I don't wanna have my life interrupted
Don't like this horrifying future you've concocted
I'm not buying this lifestyle you've adopted
And I'd rather not discuss these consequential matters with you anymore
Now I roll my eyes at the mention
of beachfront property
cause who knows in fifteen years exactly
where the beach will be?
And I occasionally feel relief
when i wake up in the night
having escaped an awful fate
but yeah I bet you sleep alright
You asked me why everything is always
worse than it seems
as if there is some way I can help having
apocalyptic dreams
And then you said
I don't wanna have my life interrupted
Don't like this horrifying future you've concocted
I'm not buying this lifestyle you've adopted
And I'd rather not discuss these consequential matters with you anymore
No no no
I just don't wanna hear it anymore, no no
And then you said
I don't wanna have my life interrupted
Don't like this horrifying future you've concocted
I'm not buying this lifestyle you've adopted
And I'd rather not discuss these consequential matters with you anymore
No no no
no no no

Astray

I don't know how I do this anymore
Arthritic joints are aching
My paws slippin’ on the floor
But my hungry eyes fall onto yours
And I can breathe ok
I appreciate your taking in a stray
And nowadays my life's been slowing down
No longer run too fast, I can't be walking across town
But you're my people and I'll follow,
So take me where you may
I know you'd never lead me astray
Through all the times I wandered
Without a happy home
And all the nights I huddled fast asleep
I slowly made my way to you; we'll never be alone
Hold fast to you as close as I can keep
I know you're hiding pills in all that cheese
And it's nice the way you stretch my legs so I can walk with ease
And you slide a jumper on me just to keep the chill at bay
So I don't have to feel like a stray
Through all the times I wandered
Without a happy home
And all the nights I huddled fast asleep
I slowly made my way to you; we'll never be alone
Hold fast to you as close as I can keep
I worry when you have to leave my friend
And my old tail still wags so hard when you've returned again
And we still share a moment’s peace when everything's ok
I hope your travels never leave you astray
Through all the times I wandered
Without a happy home
And all the nights I huddled fast asleep
I slowly made my way to you; we'll never be alone
Hold fast to you as close as I can keep
Hold fast to you as close as I can keep
Hold fast to you as close as I can keep

Unsent Letter
04:48
|
|||
Alone in a crowd
with not much to say
I'm not sure I fit in here anyway
Everyone else here seems to be ok.
I'm ready to talk
but I've too much to say
And no one wants to hear it all anyway
So I'm saving it here for now, today
I wrote it down so I would feel better
but I don't think I can send this letter
I don't think I can deal with the fallout
I need some time so I can relax
Some decent sleep and this all may pass
It's safer to just be alone, without
Taking my time
Minding my own
Could be forgiven if I could be known
but that is more than I can let be shown
Keeping it here
Bottled inside
To share it now after all I've denied
would just be a selfish act of pride.
I wrote it down so I would feel better
but I don't think I can send this letter
I don't think I can deal with the fallout
I need some time so I can relax
A decent sleep and this all may pass
It's safer to just be alone, without

All That I Can Offer
03:42
|
|||
This is all that I can offer you
Everything I have
I hope it's good enough
I will try my best to comfort you
do my best to help
you know it's safe
It's just us
Every time we take a step away we're closer
cause I feel the distance weigh on my composure
This is all that I can offer you
Try my best to help
between the two of us
There are times that I can't continue
Things I cannot say without
betraying trust
Confidences I'm beholden to
Relationships I've built and I maintain
I must
If I slip and give away the information
I might never be forgiven the invasion
This is all that I can offer you
I promise to keep it between the two of us
This is all that I can offer you
Everything I have
I hope it's good enough
I will try my best to comfort you
do my best to help
you know it's safe
It's just us
Every time we reconvene a revelation
and a chance to continue our conversation
This is all that I can offer you
Try my best to help
between the two of us

Nothing Left
04:28
|
|||
If you take this away
I'll have nothing left
nothing left to lose
Consumed by desperation
My focus will settle on you
I have been through things you cannot conceive
Been subjected to thing you would not believe
If you take this away
I'll have nothing left
nothing left to prove
Completely vindicated
My focus will settle on you
I have been through things you cannot conceive
Been subjected to thing you would not believe

Perfect Sunrise
03:01
|

Have you ever seen a perfect sunrise?
One that begins your life anew?
You wouldn't have to wake up for that sunrise
You'd wait up the whole night through
Between the contemplation
the daybreak reflection
I see my life in a new way
I'm contented and I am grateful
to begin another day
Have you ever partied through to sunrise
And seen the revelry give way?
Friends will laugh out loud
As sunlight paints the clouds
and neighbors slowly make their way
The drunken laughter fades and after
awhile the party cedes to day
It’s dissipated but we’ve celebrated
Wasting time but not in vain
Have you ever seen a perfect sunrise?
One that begins your life anew?
You wouldn't have to wake up for that sunrise
You'd wait up the whole night through
You'd wait up the whole night through
