Car Crash TV 05:51
If I could slip into your skin Dive head first through your pain If the room should suddenly fill up And you still remain If we both find work Where we’re honestly paid Could we still afford to dream of somewhere To evaporate If things were a little easier Would our love still survive Or is it in the vacuum of the struggle Where our love always thrives This is car crash TV honey And if the town the dragged me under Only thought about how I feel And If the cards you held against your chest Could some how be revealed And If you wonder where I’ve been I needed to be revived While they showered you in water and watched you Struggling for the tide And if my conscience was a little clearer Would it draw you a little nearer Would you smile more in photographs We don’t belong in photographs This is car crash TV honey You push me out You let them in You only love when you begin To hate yourself You hate yourself You let them all sit around and talk The streets are safe where we can’t walk You hate yourself This is car crash TV honey You clean the cars and wash the halls Jobs for your friends this alcohol You hate yourself This is car crash TV honey

Understand 04:34
You couldn’t understand your thoughts You begged them to sit down and talk You said your head’s surrounded Inevitable you’d be caught Had I understood then What I understand now Acceptance from your peers you sought The pages are tearing The ripping is scaring you down But you’re staying around Had I understood then What I understand now In the grey area of doubt This is where I can be found You couldn’t understand your thoughts The pages are tearing, the ripping is scaring, the road that goes under grows longer and longer, you’ve run out of stations and no one has patience for you Had I understood then What I understand now In the grey area of doubt This is where I can be found You saw it all You wanted more You pushed the boat away from shore Everyone else follows behind There is no distance to divide Gather your thoughts Your head in sand You took the flight that never lands Cold decisions make the man You always had a different plan

You called me over Said you were under Said that your science Pulled you asunder But I am not your answer You are not my answer Give me your skin and I’ll be your cancer Said you were numb and You’d lost your hunger Said all your shipwrecks Had pulled you under But I am not your answer You are not my answer Said you were willing to take your chances Well lets not talk about that Maybe it will just go away You’re worried about your friends All of them seem to fall away You said look now you’ll be fine without me You’ll suffer no doubt without me You’ll be my loss I’ll carry the cross You’ll be the thoughts that can’t be Chased by the pills or powder Chased till my final hour There’s nothing to change familiar strange Shadowed beneath your tower There’s nothing to do about this You’ve broken the frame that bound this You’re calling the shots controlling the plot I just run along beside this If I could get through one minute Without you appearing in it A picture of you as someone I knew An old friend that pays a visit Well lets not talk about that Maybe it will just go away You’re worried about your friends All of them seem to fall away And if we talk about that What’s there left to say anyway I’m worried about my friends All of them seem to fall away.

Isolate 05:30
You stare so long You’re always isolated You stare so long I always have to go and find you But I find you every time I thought I caught your eye I just got in the way of your mind I thought I caught your eye In a city a that destroyed you But there’s time to take this city back tonight And it can never be too late Mistakes can be forgiven We are all the same We are computers that are driven The drugs they get inside And love can’t always clean us You begged me not to lie But the truth gets in between us And we both have places we need to be tonight And we can’t be in two places at the same time And I know you are nervous now And I know that you can’t see straight And this pain can serve a purpose now Its just memories have been delayed And your problems just won’t Isolate You and I are always starting out You and I are always starting out Come and give me all of you tonight Changes fade to what we are now
5.
Strange Game 04:29
This was a strange game to play Say the safe word and I’ll walk away You said you never felt so free But the blood on the floor Didn’t fall out of me You find the levels always spill Serotonin burns your skin You’re caught up in what could have been A walk of shame you’re circling You love to feel you’ve crossed a line But your straight lines got you entwined You’re only here to run away Throw your punches I will stay This was a strange day to change You went straight for the source Then you moved out of range I think I caught you for a while You said watching you control yourself Is like watching blood dry I understand the circumstance You could have walked you had to dance Crawl through the shit of old romance You wish you had a million hands To hang on to the things that shone A semblance here a semblance gone Maybe I’m right maybe I’m wrong Throw your punches I will come There’s things that set our lives apart There’s other places we can start There’s nothing like a head of scars To halt a perfect beating heart You once described me as a friend When did that description end The memories don’t go away You numb them with a different pain

Was there a moment things changed? Its hard to pick a moment from a lifetime when nothing would go your way It manifested and stayed Getting through the day when the night came you come under attack And everything went black Who Am I Supposed to Talk to Now? Now that you have gone You always said you were fine I should have known then it was tearing at your mind But you created a time There wasn’t anybody left who could meet you at the fire Was it the wrong thing to say? I could never seem to find the right time to talk to you Was it the wrong thing to do? Everyone else played the role of a clown inside of you Then everything went blue Who Am I Supposed to Run to Now? Now that you have gone You always said you were fine I should have known then it was tearing at your mind But you created a time There wasn’t anybody left who could meet you at the fire Who Am Supposed to talk to now? Now that you have gone
7.
Break down If you want You can always start again You came around when I called And you never let me down When a heart of glass Meets a heart of stone The pain will last and we will grow And on the cusp of letting go We realise It’s all we know Through the faults Through the flames It’s you and I again Take down what you want We can build it up again You fake ground when I fall And you’re calling time again When a heart of glass Meets a heart of stone The pain will last but we will grow And on the cusp of letting go We realise It’s all we know Its crawling under again And I hope that you’re happier now Hope I’m part of the piece that you found No more dead end devils who realise There’s a loneliness in your science
8.
Trees 04:15
We shed our clothes down by the water We shed our clothes down by the sea Wait for me now Wait for me now Another fine mess you got me in Another fine way for a day to end Where are you right now? All I see is trees around me Lately I’m not well If I don’t wanna breath You try your best but all you’ve seen Has perforated your memories And under the cover of a dying moon You said you’re close and left the room Wait for me now Wait for me now Another fine mess you got me in Another fine way for a day to end Where are you right now? All I see is trees around me Maybe I’m not well A million memories that bound me Where are you right now? All I see is trees around me Lately I’m not well All I see is trees
9.
Don’t you walk into my world and Tell me how it’s supposed to go (Did we fall before we started ? We’ll have to pull ourselves up off the floor) Don’t you try to change my girl She’s the only one I wanna know (It’s a journey to the heart of it We’re not coming back here anymore) You break your spine for another game You tell me only fools fall in love Then you should know (We just keep on moving forward There’s a beauty to this broken road) You turn your tricks on another wave You’re saving your love for another day Then go Everyone has the right to be alone The greatest love you’ve ever know Is waiting here for you Don’t you walk into my world And tell me that you have to go (We’ll just keep on moving forward There’s a beauty to this broken road) The mirrors are broken And you hide your tears The truth is spoken You just disappear I know Everyone has the right to be alone The greatest love you’ve ever known Is waiting here for you Where do you think you’re going?

Mirror on the front seat Bottle on the back seat Your eyes all over me Telling me I’m incomplete Dragging me up to my feet Living this scene on repeat Do you have to bring them into this? I slipped a calculated risk Suffering will chase the bliss Mirror on the front seat Bottle on the back seat Your eyes controlling me Hold on Is what they say I’m the king Who are they? There’s colours I can never see The grey and black is throwing me There’s things that I will never be My eyes carry my heavy mind Struggle with what’s left behind Search but I can never find Time to chase the wasted years Our objective disappears We long for what I made you hide I drove us down the other side You say there’s not another man None that I can be Hold on now I see
