When you say 'meet me by the cemetery'
I think great cause some cliche's are necessary
I know that song, though we were not around in the 80s
Not so far gone, now Europe endless ended needlessly
Meet by the cemetery
Take some solace in the company
I will go just where you you are
And while the world is reversing in so many ways
While we're here, we can block out the noise find our own space
While I know that I'm safer than most, slightly ashamed
I hope my friends can all find their own place away

Wait It Out
02:48
|

My inadequacy, it drips away
So place a towel right under me
Cause in that room I was not me
I played a part, that was my last scene
All I seem to be thinking bout is everything but the here and now
Losing sight of the sights and sounds of everything that I care about
Remain calm or at least for now
Grit my teeth and just wait it out
And staring at ceilings I bare in mind
I've made these plans like at least three times
I am on loop, long to break the tape
But no one does anything any more these days

A Better Plan
03:05
|
|||
Photos on the wall are framed and full of naive glee, or so I'm told
It's harder to believe I was that carefree
When I spend so much time distracted
With focus lost to static
By how I'm gonna salvage the time I've lost to panic
And I don't know who you think I am
But I'm not sure you understand
I'm working on a better plan
To swim till I reach land
Memories we have, both good and bad, are laced with several biases
And just as I am now, yeah I still freak out
And I spend all my time distracted
Is this who I am?

Float
00:46
|
|||
Every year now passes faster than the last
Taking every chance i get to float into my past
Of all the times to forget, can I request today?
Not a choice I usually get to make

Act Naturally
03:29
|
|||
I've been meaning to speak what I mean cause
It could be key to being happy
Or is it nothing at all?
Easy to say it in a song
I've been actively acting positive
Diluting the venom in my spit
Tastes of Nothing at all
Easy to say when nothings wrong
And I've kept to myself all along
You may have got me wrong
Sketching an outline of what this could be
One day lets fill ourselves in
Act naturally
I've been filling the cracks in my time by
Slowly sinking in nobody's timeline
Gaining nothing
Feels like I've lived through this before
When you ask me about my day will I
Withdraw my best brave face, sign and
Tell you something, meaning nothing
Keep acting like there's nothing wrong
But you kept to yourself all along
I may have got you wrong

Free Time
03:32

I need more free time
That would solve my problems
I think to myself as I stare down the clock and
I need more free time
I'd be so productive
I'd avoid boxsets that would be self destructive
I need more free time
But no do I really?
I've said that before to end up bored and lonely
I need more free time
Someone stop me thinking like a protagonist
This is not my story
I need cause to see
It's about more than me
I need more free time
It's been like three days
I would have never guessed quite how quick I'd lose my mind
I need more free time
Free of feeling worthless
Let me do anything
Give me sense of purpose
Something that I only think about from time to time
Is pressing up against my skull and running down my spine
I need an out, I need a break, can someone get me far away
I haven't felt like this for years, or maybe months, or at least days
Do I need something to relax, or just a drastic change of view
A single stroke of luck to keep my face from knocking wood
Or against fist, or against wall, or against anything at all
In the days where I reflect can I expect to see much more?
I am like this am I? This is who I am
Catch myself in my reflection I am taken back
I am like this am I? This is who I am
I don't wanna feel like this forever will there be an end?
I need more free time
Gimme three day weeks
I need more free time

Different Views
03:52
|
|||
It didn't take me long to see
Those who talk loudest know the least
But those that don't know what I know
About my preferences are so vocal
Though maybe these choices are for me, and just me
You talk with so much certainty
Of one straight line from A to B
Bet you could get there so quickly
If only I'd not chose to be so vocal
Though maybe these choices are for me, and only me
Think about, think again
I'd like to like you
Can we really still be friends with such different views?
It happens every now and then
Reminded who I could have been
When will these expectations end?
I understand you too can be so vocal
Though maybe these choices are for me and only me

Unwind
03:23
|
|||
Constantly shifting both body and mind
Only when your mouth moves am I trying to fight it
So what did you say, I only caught the last bit
And will this affect us friends?
The stories you tell I know well I might like
I don't wanna be rude
Grateful for the invite
Though while you weave your web I'm distracted by light
I guess we're not as close as back then
I've gotten good at lots of things
Though something as simple as speaking
Is still beyond me though I find
That everyones trying to hide what is really on their mind
Finally focussing in on your story
Since your tone implied your advice was important
But really it's more of your self serving nonsense
I'm less sure of you as a friend
When we get back we'll unwind
Share what's really on our minds

Text Me When You're Home
02:37
|
|||
I walk home with headphones blaring
Hope to hell that they aren't staring
What's happening in their minds
To make them act the way they might
And I lose perspective in the moment
Hateful glance, to hate when spoken
Thoughts of what might happen
Might just override this whole damn night
Is that right?

Maybe Tomorrow
02:30
|
|||
I'm not nearly on your level
Come meet me on the ground floor
And when you get there will you hold the lift door
And yes London is depressing
Even on this summers day
The suited men on scooters came and took all our joy away
And maybe tomorrow we'll act on what we plan
And maybe tomorrow we'll untie each other's hands
I'm not nearly on your level
But I feel closer than I was
The last few months were tough but now we've cut the cause
And London's still depressing
Slightly less than yesterday
Now we've escaped
Those glassy eyesores saw us sun bathing in shade
And maybe tomorrow we'll act on what we plan
And maybe tomorrow we'll untie each other's hands
And maybe tomorrow won't seem like quite so far
And maybe tomorrow we will like who we are

Sink
03:26
|
|||
A you I'd not seen before, climbed through the open door
and nothing prepared for what was to be in store
The panic upon your face took hold of your usual grace
When asked for advice I couldn't find the words to say
But there's no need to apologise for talking this way
I just hope that you will be okay
Since I'm always facing in
Thought I understood the things that I'd need to hear when everythings about to sink
And I'd not felt more powerless than what you said what you said
I can't quite convey how much you mean to all of us
There's a raincloud following us round
Striking when we're least prepared
Is there a way that I can explain how much those around you care?
