By Now 02:31
You walked right by when you were really needed Did you think that nobody would see you? You don’t tell lies unless you really believe them But that still doesn't make them true And if you don’t know by now I'm sure you’ll pick it up somehow You keep your hopes up cos you like to feel let down Does it make it easier when no one’s around? You lock yourself away and complain that you are lonely I've been guilty of the same

Superpowers 02:40
You can read me like a terrible book A look in my eyes is all it took And I wonder, is everything crystal clear? What a shit hole to be on your own Always staring down at the phone And I wonder, how I always end up here? In my darkest hours you show your superpowers And in your darkest times I’ll show you mine After all we’re sad and done We’re not having any fun We’re many but still we feel so few It’s a waiting room with a view The walls are all painted blue And I’m always walking out with you
3.
In Orbit 02:36
I always think of the best thing to say When it’s too late to say it When I should be firmly on terrain I am floating around in orbit What’s it like to be everything you wanna be? And not be tormented by inadequacies Never wondering if everything will be alright While life just passes by I don’t wish for much but that’s ok I’m easily distracted If you saw through my eyes for just one day I’m not overreacting

Here we are again The place where all our problems began And we’re stuck here till the end A few bad eggs Scrambled a lot of bird brains And now we’re at square one again Oh and it’s sad It makes me so sad But we won’t draw the same lines as we did before We’ll get what we came here for And push the boundaries even more We’ll get what we came here for We didn’t want this Most of us didn’t want this So tell me, how is it fair? It’s not a question of how it directly affects me But I care for the wellbeing of everyone I see

Shit Sticks 03:30
Here we are again The place where all our problems began And we’re stuck here till the end A few bad eggs Scrambled a lot of bird brains And now we’re at square one again Oh and it’s sad It makes me so sad But we won’t draw the same lines as we did before We’ll get what we came here for And push the boundaries even more We’ll get what we came here for We didn’t want this Most of us didn’t want this So tell me, how is it fair? It’s not a question of how it directly affects me But I care for the wellbeing of everyone I see

The wind hit my face at just the right time I was starting to think that I wouldn’t survive I still feel unstable for no reason at all It’s been a mystery of late living in my brain I still live my life But only a fraction of the time Don’t say anything I don’t wanna know And I won’t say anything at all If I look anything like how I feel By now I’ve pretty much disappeared Sometimes the best thing is talking to a brick wall Nobody answers, nobody can hear your call
7.
We Seem OK 02:55
Up ahead there’s a cloud looming And it’s looking pretty ominous But we’re heading straight for it Everybody seems to notice But our course doesn’t change a little bit But we seem ok If you don’t look closely And we’re losing our voices From screaming blue murder Through ears to empty spaces We’re disengaged And we’re fucking wasting away But we seem ok
8.
There’s never anywhere to park in this old town We’ll spend most of the evening driving around Every time we run over the same pothole I wish it would just open up and swallow me whole We just wanna get to where we wanna go Without enduring the highs and the lows That’s life, but we don’t wanna know There’s always some place else that we would rather be Thinking on the other side the grass is green Don’t fool yourself into thinking that your mistakes Will just stop happening one day Just don’t repeat the ones that you’ve already made
9.
Sorry Sight 02:11
I’ve never been so unsure of myself Dragging my feet just so I don’t keep still I’ll pick up the pieces when I’m ready and well But until then I’ll put myself through hell I’ll go right ahead when this is over I’ve got a sore neck from looking over my shoulder I’ll pick up the pieces when I’m a little older But until then I’ll keep getting closer Don’t close the curtains or dim the lights The outside world is such a sorry sight I’ve never been so unsure of myself I’d say that with certainty but I can’t really tell I’ll put back the pieces when I’m ready and well But until then I’m in fucking hell
10.
One Way 02:30
There’s only one way we can get out of this alive But I’m feeling tired, my eyes are drowsy, I am spent It’s how I wake up every dawn of every day And I can’t recall it being any other way I know I haven’t been quite myself of late Or maybe I have been, is this how i will remain? I need a break and I don’t mean two weeks in the sun A break from being me just to see how I’d get on I’m always finding something wrong I’m overworked and underpaid My back’s too sore to lift anything today But I don’t want more money I just want more of my own time It’s always the same story and it gets kinda boring No matter where you hide It’ll eat you up inside Til you’ve run out of all your self esteem
