Talisman 04:09
Swim right out into the sundown Today was alright Put a spring in your step The doom and the gloom Can be too much for us to consume “Smile once in a while!” That used to piss me off Because I was already pissed off In that teenage daze that amplifies your pain But I don’t carry that weight anymore I won’t let this get me down I won’t go to those old haunts now I won’t let this twist me around Spirits look out! I’ve found my talisman Far away from here, out in the clear I loved you all this time Even at the end, hold on to loose threads I’ll love you until we die A love so clear, so sincere I’ve loved you all the time Here right now or in some other life I’ve loved you through divides I won’t let this get me down I won’t go to those old haunts now I won’t let this twist me around Spirits look out! I’ve found my talisman I hang it round my neck We don’t care much for self tough love We don’t shine that light on it anymore We don’t care much for self taught harm Don’t wanna waste our time on it anymore

in the sun, in the sun, in the sun in the sunshine lemondaze blurs my mind slow burn, slow burn, slow burn slow burning fire turn out the lights love is just a drug we’re slaves to it until our hearts stop dedicated too much seeking the approval of everyone in the sun, in the sun, in the sun in the sunshine lemondaze slows my mind slow burn, slow burn, slow burn slow burning pyre slaves to desire love is just a drug we’re slaves to it until our hearts stop dedicated too much seeking the approval of everyone in the sun, in the sun, in the sun in the sunshine lemondaze slows my mind slow burn, slow burn, slow burn suits me fine i need to take my sweet time

Out Of Phase 04:12
i am out of phase walk around in another daze i’m a little out of phase don’t mean to project my pain i’m just not myself today i am out of phase i can’t syncopate this is a mind in disarray i’m a little out of phase pull me out of my malaise there’s n0 quick fix for mental pain understanding is never easy i would change if i could understanding is never easy i would change if i could climbing up the walls again trying to find a way out of my skin when the world inside is too intense a furnace of my discontent i am out of phase i can’t syncopate this is a mind in disarray i’m a little out of phase pull me out of my malaise there’s no quick fix for mental pain understanding is never easy i would change if i could understanding is never easy i would change if i could it’s hard to breathe when your energy is spent vampires drain your blood again i am out of phase i can’t syncopate i am out of phase stuck in a groundhog daze i’m out of phase reliving my mistakes i’m out of phase my reality alternates

live it like you want it no don’t hesitate don’t take it for granted it won’t always go your way keep on pushing forward don’t click the bait carve out your borders govern your own state take a slice in the disorder they won’t give you a taste we are all street hawkers hustling for our place we are all street hawkers hustling at the gates they’ll always pull you under when they catch you making waves they don’t want you to be real they don’t wanna know how you feel keep your opinions inside shut up and get in line no room here for open hearts how dare you know your mind take a piece in the disorder they won’t just give it away we are all street hawkers hustling at the gates they don’t want you to be real they don’t wanna know how you feel they don’t want you feel if it’s not up on the surface it can’t be real

Get Lazy 04:46
come on baby let’s get lazy there’s no better place to be hiding under the duvet, watching bad 90’s movies there’s no place i’d rather be come on honey let’s get sunny you’re the brightest star to me this town is forever grey and it always rains but in your bedroom i felt free free from the boredom after the post mortem you put the life back in me the future can wait i promise we won’t be late i want to explore here right now i don’t want to hesitate come on baby let’s get lazy there’s no better place to be tell our secrets and stories our failures and glories lay it all out for me come on honey forget about monday smoke cigarettes on your balcony play guitar with my shirt off while you sleep naked a perfect tranquillity heavenly gauzy watched you sleep in morning and i knew you were right for me the future can wait i promise we won’t be late i want to explore here right now i don’t want to hesitate

send my wishes to the shoreline i am soothed by its beauty let the memories float away i let my life flash before me this is a feeling i can’t ignore send a wish on the shore this is a moment i want to explore tu es l’amour this is a feeling i can’t ignore send a wish on the shore won’t take it for granted anymore tu es l’amour ruminations come in waves under the tall pines that sway i’m reminded in so many ways so i still see your face in the grandeur and the mundane in those clouds making shapes this is a feeling i can’t ignore send a wish on the shore this is a moment i want to explore tu es l’amour this is a feeling i can’t ignore send a wish on the shore won’t take it for granted anymore tu es l’amour send my wishes to the shoreline you are a lantern in the sky soulful movement in the night voyager of calm in my life this is a feeling i can’t ignore send a wish on the shore this is a moment i want to explore tu es l’amour

make a golden promise to yourself today through your soul and heart you can heal the pain not all of us will be dust in the end there’s not always enough time to make amends chanting at the sun because you wanna know why you came chanting at the sun because you wanna know what you came here for make a golden promise to yourself today it’s never too late to start over again not all of us will be dust in the end need to believe in the after or nothing can make sense chanting at the sun because you wanna know why you came chanting at the sun because you wanna know what you came here for from the east to the west it’s all the same the stars, the sun and moon in a frame we are just pieces that endlessly rotate chanting at the sun because you wanna know why you came chanting at the sun because you wanna know what you came here for

someday you’ll pass this on i couldn’t leave it all behind me so i carried it all the way home i couldn’t leave it all behind us so i carried it on i carried the storm i couldn’t leave it all behind us i dig deeper and search the holes i couldn’t leave it all in the past maybe i’m missing a vital chromosome someday you’ll pass this on someday you’ll pass this off i couldn’t leave it all behind me it’s only yesterday didn’t matter much anyway i couldn’t leave it all behind us it’s only yesterday didn’t matter much anyway i couldn’t see the end or the beginning my life was like a palindrome i couldn’t stop my head from spinning i was stuck in the honeycomb someday you’ll pass this on

i wanted you to read me, read me between my lines i don’t want you to leave me i don’t wanna be left behind i wanted to prove something prove something to myself that i could do this no matter the hand that i’ve been dealt i don’t want you to lie i don’t want you to lie i’m ready to survive i’m ready to survive i don’t want this to die i don’t want this to die i’m ready to survive i’m ready to survive i knew my limits i was too deep in it, alright i was counting my visits the hours and minutes passed by the lessons are hard take this one to the vine and the heart takes a better man than the one you were then at the start i don’t want you to lie i don’t want you to lie i’m ready to survive i’m ready to survive i don’t want this to die i don’t want this to die i’m ready to take advice i’m ready to survive all the questions still unanswered grow untested like a cancer wash the sin in new beginnings don’t phone it in, it’s all or nothing

it hasn’t meant much in a long time it’s like it meant nothing at all nothing at all i don’t mean much to you around your eyes i don’t mean much anymore, much anymore it hasn’t felt real in such a long time we pretend and ignore, pretend to explore people are the worst thing sometimes we hurt each other and move on discard and move on we’re all sucked in and the ground is getting thin in a vortex swirling we’re too far in embedded in our psyches in a vortex swirling i haven’t felt real in a long time machines put up walls, machines put up walls i haven’t felt connected in a long time i can’t bridge the gap anymore, the gap anymore i gotta get back in touch with myself try to recapture who i was, who i once was it hasn’t felt good in a long time oh i don’t feel it anymore, don’t feel it anymore we’re all sucked in and the ground is getting thin in a vortex swirling we’re too far in embedded in our psyches in a vortex swirling the colour of your love was sunshine it doesn’t warm me anymore, warm me anymore now you only send chills down my spine but that isn’t the kind that you want, the kind that you want i guess the stars were never quite aligned it meant nothing at all, nothing at all it hasn’t felt real in such a long time pretend and ignore, pretend to explore we’re all sucked in and the ground is getting thin in a vortex swirling we’re too far in embedded in our psyches in a vortex swirling

the highways are always calling you calling us, we’re locked in our rooms and these lights must lead to something or your eyes must lead to somewhere we were nocturnal teens running round in ripped up jeans chapstick and skinned up knees those nights meant everything those nights... scheming our wild escapes into the dark, into the fray now we’re kind of stuck here hoping the darkness won’t disappear we were nocturnal teens aliens on the back streets lost in a suburban dream trying to stay seventeen those lights... running from our mothers running from our fathers running from the traumas running from the drama we were nocturnal teens running round in ripped up jeans lost in a suburban dream those nights meant everything

washing over me like you did in a technicolour dream staring into the void isn’t that the point? it’s not all rainbows and sunbeams checking in with the black what does it reflect back? nothing quite as it seems smoke and mirrors you know they can cloud the facts looking through broken glass i need a place where dreams can lie on pillows in your eyes where a stirring fire still billows wake under the sun dappled clouds washed away like a cheap thrill seems like a recurring theme staring into your soul really takes a toll better put on your sunscreen for one more trip around the sun will you come undone? pulled apart at the seams days slip through your hands just like waves on the sand chasing away those dreams i need a place where dreams can lie on pillows in your eyes where a stirring fire still billows wake under the sun dappled clouds i don’t know what i want from this i don’t know what i need i don’t know what i want from this i still don’t know what i need i don’t know what i want from this i don’t know what i need i don’t know what i want from this can you teach me to feel free?
