Minus 40 Winks (free) 03:40
All I want is sleep all I need is a good rest but routines a god damn mess my blood feels unclean my hands they look older my bones they feel colder At night my heart it betrays me I feel it scratching lines on my chest I feel dead in this city I feel lost in this city I feel small in this city at night There's a never ending cycle running circles in my head and pretty soon I will be forced to make my bed I'm a self made man I'm king of castle built on giving up drugged on the benefits of sleep and more sleep sleep is chance to dream but waking up it wipes clean and time takes over All I hear is noise the buildings don't talk straight their lines feel an inch miss-placed every step feels a void till the pavement gets colder the cracks open wider till I get lost in translation every single word i lose breaks my teeth I feel dead in this body I feel lost in this body I feel small in this body at night There's a never ending cycle running circles in my head and pretty soon I will be forced to make my bed There's a reaccuring rut that grinds my bones and boils my blood but pretty soon I will be forced to grow up All I want is sleep

Laid To Bed (free) 03:05
I've been punished for throwing fists it's self defence that started this I'm due back in a little while to plead my case and I've been nursing injuries as well as all the bad things I ever did they're all put on trial for man and God to... Sea meets land where blue meets black I'm done I'm not allowed to open mouth because living with myself it's a living hell it's a prison guard who beats me every day if I don't learn to colour in the lines how amIi ever meant to make it out alive? I've got things to do that involve me being... Three times a day I take these pills they're made of penicillin part despair part guilt I've got simple things No one knows where all my simple things will go and I've got simple things I've never said where all is simply laid to bed I long for simple things like penicillin pills I've got a freind who resides in me but he only ever speaks up as my enemy he's got a wicked way oh I think he wants me... Gone are the days where I could sleep they're tired and beaten pushed away from me and I've got Ugly thoughts that fill me head and match the way I feel instead and I've got ugly words that leave my mouth and leave me feeling nothing else I long for simple things like penicillin pills

Pushing Twenty Four (free) 03:08
I've been drawing up these plans since I was 14 but everything I seem to do just pushed the dust over and now they're hard to read I think I let these lines get faded years of sun burnt through and maybe I am jaded to what I could really do Now I'm pushing 24 like there's a devil at my window and Jesus Christ I think I've done it all so well saying I've never really known that every second counts it made me who I am and if it wasn't for the ghosts I know well I don't think that I'd be living well living hand to mouth knowing now that I know nothing at all Even though I seem to stay the same you're missing subtle hints of change I think Dublin moved me and even though I'll always be the boy who finds it hard to fall asleep my restless soul reminds me to never sit still and never close my eyes

Tell (free) 05:03
I wanna tell you how you make me feel I can be a better man How you've given my life purpose I wanna do the best I can Do you know your voice is intricately designed for making me feel good and your lips and eyes are perfectly aligned just like an angles should Do you know that The Earth will move whether we do too and the sky will always stay the same blue the sun will burn and time will still go on but I can't with out you Well sometimes I think I've got it all too good this is going all too well that somebody up there will see the mistake and send me back to hell So if I've only got a small amount of time well you deserve to know that you have made a dying tree like me bloom and grow Do you know that The Earth will move whether we do too and the sky will always stay the same blue the sun will burn and time will still go on but I can't with out you I can't go on I'm not me on my own I could live and pass through days half alive But I know it's oly pointless if life's led through sadness Oh I'm glad that I'm not alone

Bigger Things (free) 01:17
I'm holding on for something I'm meant for bigger things a coward I've become I feel like I've done nothing Now the days they seem to pass with out a second thought or glance for what we do I feel something growing It's jealousy for the friends I've known all my life because they're doing what i wished I was and it cuts me like the sharpest knife in the drawer next to where I left my spine and the crumpled up paper that's only there to remind me The days will always pass without a second thought or glance for what I do

Hats Movely (free) 04:54
Lets sing a song for everything that's about to come our way Keep pumping blood through ventricles to tissue and we'll be ok 'I saw water, I saw water' lets pull this from our lungs and coming summer sleep in one number everyone we meet we fill with jealousy I've got an ache for all the things that I've planned but yet to do I'll see past bad days where boredom comes in first place just to get to you Hands and new skin planes and drinking nerves are laid open shirts and late nights breathe through daylight who needs to feel the sun when we've got beds to mess? Oh England can cry when I say goodbye I've got a better place to be and though the air is the same and the weathers not great there's a heart on reserve for me I'll hold my breathe till my lungs turn blue and I'm struggling to see and when I'm lying on your floor dying it's the kiss of life for me lips taste so sweet makes my heart beat I long for one more taste and if it kills me well I'll die happy because everyone we meet we fill with jealousy Oh England can cry when I say goodbye I've got a better place to be and though the air is the same and the weathers not great there's a heart on reserve for me
