Ticking Bomb 03:49
Sometimes people worry, that i'm just gonna blow I guess the news got around, that sometimes i can let myself go In an angry slur, i scream out all my words, and i scream and shout, don't come anywhere near me in an angry slur, i scream out all my words and i scream and i shout, don't come anywhere near me Don't come anywhere near me Cause i'm a Ticking Bomb Now i've calmed down, today's gonna be a good day Until someone decides, that they've got something stupid to say and in an angry slur, i scream out all my words and i kick and i shout, don't come anywhere near me and in an angry slur, i scream out all mywords and i scream and i shout don't come anywhere near me Don't come anywhere near me Cause i'm a Ticking Bomb Now i've calmed down Where'd everyone go Now i've calmed down Where'd everyone go in a hazy slur, i put together my words i've got little to say, can nobody hear me

Oh Blimey 05:04
I've got this old man sitting in front of me He's rambling, i think he's had one two many He's not happy with the way lifes treated him he wants a refund he wants to try again I think oh blimey I think oh blimey I've got this kid he's standing in front of me he's asking me to buy him nicotine he looks so broken, he's barely in his teens and life's just given up, it's given up on him I think oh blimey I think oh blimey What a crazy little world that we're living in I'm on the street and a window i'm looking in There's a conservative couple sipping on thier gin The gents on his blackberry, he's clearly in a work meeting the lady she's pondering whilst touching her wedding ring I think oh blimey i think oh blimey What a crazy little world that we're living in I'm staring at the skies as they stare down at me I'm singing with the winds as they sing silently i think that this world is beautiful place i think that this world is a beautiful place i think that this world is a beautiful place if you just look at it RIGHT IN THE FACE

Warzone 03:29
All they ever saw was the bottle get swigged back as they drank their way through the wars they never saw what it was like for anyone to talk about what anyone ever felt all they ever heard was the silent shouting as the tension grew through the walls But not a peak from anyone, not a peak from anyone Drink your way through the war now It's all we ever do Drink your way through the war noq It's all we ever knew Drink your way through the war kid it's all we ever do Drink your way through the war kid It's all she ever knew She sit's listening to the stumbled words of a broken man But broken as he be, he's all she's got left of the two you see And he invites the killer in, he makes him feel at home Wont you take a seat, Take my last breath from me! Drink your way through the war now It's all we ever do Drink your way through the war noq It's all we ever knew Drink your way through the war kid it's all we ever do Drink your way through the war kid It's all she ever knew

Hidden Sight 04:03
I'm not quite sure you know at all how much harder we need to try to not let all of this slide have you noticed that we're falling apart here we never call we never spend time at all in each others lives even though we spent the best part of it growing by our sides and we spent the best part of it crying at the fright at loosing one of us then when it happened we just started to rust i can't recall the last time that we tried and we didn't try to find somewhere else to hide what could we be doing with all of our time and when did love become such a crime when you look at me you see her face when i look art you i see the chase we all fall back into that blimb the one we lost with such sublime If she could see us now, she'd feel so she'd feel so lost if she could see us now, she'd feel so alone If she could see us now, she'd feel so, she'd feel so lost if she could see us now, she'd feel so alone She'd feel so alone So lets stop pretending, we're just stuck in that limbo we're trying to blend into society, we can't help our anxiety If i can't see you than you can't see me Blood is thicker than water they say sons and daughters don't ever fade but reality is starting to get quite apparent and can't you see that i'm quite afraid is there really any chance, is there really any way when i put my all out last year i did all i wanted to do was hide from all of you but i screamed and i cried and i created such a hype it doesn't matter it was all dismissed and now we watch as the family pisses it all away If she could see us now, she'd feel so she'd feel so lost if she could see us now, she'd feel so alone If she could see us now, she'd feel so, she'd feel so lost if she could see us now, she'd feel so alone She'd feel so alone She feels so alone she feels so alone she feels so alone, so alone with us today If she could see us now, she'd feel so she'd feel so lost if she could see us now, she'd feel so alone If she could see us now, she'd feel so, she'd feel so lost if she could see us now, she'd feel so alone She'd feel so alone

Stuck 06:00
i heard it gets easier as time goes by I heard you get use to, this feeling inside I heard that the memories they stay as bright as day I heard it gets easier as time goes by But i just want you back in my life i don't feel like time is going the right way i want you back in my life i don't feel, any safer today i just want you back in my life yesterday is closer to that day that you went away I'm still, stuck on that day I heard that this black hole, it never subsides I heard that the memories they stay as bright as light I heard the heartache it never fades I've heard that the missing, it always aches But i just want you back in my life i don't feel like time is going the right way i want you back in my life i don't feel, any safer today i just want you back in my life yesterday is closer to that day that you went away I'm still stuck on that day Each day seems further away From that day, you went away Each day seems further away From that day, you went away I can still feel the room as it went cold i can still feel my heart as it froze i can still feel my face as it broke i can still the other hearts beating i can still hear your silent heart weeping as the angels took you away If i listen quietly, i think i can hear you say Tomorrow will be okay

I can't forget those eyes made hearts melt inside, don't lose them who could forget that smile felt at home with anything, felt ease in anything don't lose you we'd stay up late at night and listen to the goo goo dolls what you feel is what you are, and what you are is beautiful beautiful You use to get so excited about everything and there was an innocence behind your youth you knew how to wind people up and ohj you made it work for you You'd hold your head up high and say that you weren't bothered they tried to kick you down, but you'd just say that you weren't bothered they kept on fighting back, but you'd just say that you weren't bothered we'd stay up late at night and listen to the goo goo dolls what you feel is what you are, and what you are is beautiful When did you stop feeling beautiful When did you stop I hear you're not doing your well no you're not looking after yourself my blood it freezes inside, my veins they've gone so tight i heard you're not doing well no you're not looking after yourself your blood it freezes inside and you veins they've gone so tight. When did you stop feeling beautiful When did you stop When did you stop feeling beautiful When did you stop You were made, to be beautiful You were made to be beautiful you were made to beautiful You were made to be beautiful Oh wont you come inside. cause it's getting cold Remember that wild, that wild wild time. Oh wont you come inside, cause it's getting cold Remember that child, that child that never cried You were made to be beautiful You were made to be beautiful You were made to be beautiful You were made to be beautiful

She was just a child, in a grown up world She wasn't thinking, about how one mistake was gonna mess up the rest of her days Why oh why oh why She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time Why oh why She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. She didn't think that she'd fall through she kept thinking of those eyes you all said that she'd get through and you stuck there by her side, through her darkest time through her darkest time She feels so dirty, can't get his taste off her skin she feels so filthy can see everyones eyes seething she feels so dirty cant get her screeching out of her face she feels so filthy she feels so filthy she feels like such a disgrace Why oh why oh why She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time Why oh why She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time She didn't think that she'd fall through she kept thinking of those eyes you all said that she'd get through and you stuck there by her side, through her darkest time through her darkest time

At the beginning they think, nothing is gonna let me sink away from my family they're my blood, my love, the air that i breathe What starts as a yearning to go home as the ticking of the clock lets them know that they're not stuck in time, this isn't forever come five they'll all be together the workers that is, the slaves to our country the men who fight with numbers, whilst their names go rusty the ones that are all stuck on a train down below the surface piled up against each other like animals from a circus and they aint got any soul in their eyes apart from a few, that are still anxious as each stop takes them by but there the ones with kids with the big tired eyes just waiting to see daddy before they call it night most are already tucked up in bed they know that as soon as he gets in he's gonna head straight to the cupboard with the bottles that make adults dizzy But the days and the months and years have got him he's been a slave longer now than he's ever had freedom he sits in his chair with his hands through his hair reminding himself that this was his decision to make the wealth for his family, was his mistake and what started as excitement, a change for them all a sense of security and nowhere to fall has turned into a home that empty of laughter he keeps telling himself that after they're grown up they'll have all that they need designer clothes and cars of speed their own homes and their own families but families are expensive if you want the best for them and out comes this vicious circle where everyone sacrifices themselves to the cooperation world hundreds of these men walk through the streets of London whilst little old fred sits homeless and rotten asking for any money that they don't need but it's their blood, their love, the air that they breathe Little old fred sits frozen to the bone from being left alone hows he have faith anymore even when you're rich you're still left poor but keep on fighting just keep on fighting we're stronger now theres a young poet behind the bar she's serving pints whilst men stare down her bra beisdes her lays an empty book but she can't seem to get her imagination to work she doesn't get home until four and there's a day to start before she's through the door she thinks of the warmth of her bed, and the day ahead of her that she's going to dread but she She keeps on dreaming she keeps on dreaming cause we're stronger now he sits in his chair with his hands through his hair reminding himself that this was his decision to make the wealth for his family, was his mistake and what started as excitement, a change for them all a sense of security and nowhere to fall has turned into a home that empty of laughter he keeps telling himself that after they're grown up they'll have all that they need they'll have designer clothes and cars of speed they'll have their own homes and their own families but families are expensive if you want the best for them and out comes this vicious circle where everyone sacrifices themselves to the cooperation world Just keep on fighting just keep on fighting we're stronger now we're stronger now than we ever were before we're stronger now we're stronger now than we ever were before
