Human Enough 03:23
While I’m at it I cannot stand how Things are turning around Hearts and mirrors, lights on the top floor Those that don’t make a sound They’ll wait for an hour You’ll wait your lifetime People at it, everyone is at it It shouldn’t bring a good person down Bells and whistles, Programs and Retrievers Those that don’t make a sound They’ll wait until the hour You’ll wait... Your life is turning upside down and all around the people watch you fall And break your shoulders ache your brain is sore and rotting to the core And no you won’t give up you won’t give in because it’s in your blood And blood is all you need to make them see that you’re human enough. Go and grab it kick down the back door Light a fire for me Take or leave it, simplify or grieve it Take your chance to be free They’ll wait for an hour You’ll wait... Your life is turning upside down and all around the people watch you fall And break your shoulders ache your brain is sore and rotting to the core And no you won’t give up you won’t give in because it’s in your blood And blood is all you need to make them see that you’re human enough. Your life is turning upside down and all around the people watch you fall And break your shoulders ache your brain is sore and rotting to the core And no you won’t give up you won’t give in because it’s in your blood And blood is all you need to make them see that you’re human enough. And no you won’t give up you won’t give in because it’s in your blood And blood is all you need to make them see that you’re human enough.

Do Without 03:13
If you want you can do without If you’d like you can leave alone Before you go I’ll let her know your name Sit up let me see your face For too long no one’s seen your face And you should know She already knows your name Her doubt is on your mind But you like to leave alone It’s not enough To make you use your brain Get up you’re over there With your grin, she’s over here Before you know She’s going to learn my name It’s ok to be afraid and it’s alright to fall in love again It’s ok to be afraid and it’s alright to fall in love again Where do you call home? Have you got a home? You should call your mother Where do you call home?

Time has run out Have you chosen me Or my mind All your time giving out Do you follow me And my kind Hiding under empty boxes Are the things that you’ve avoided from the start But does it tear your life apart Do you want to take all that is mine? I’ll be ok if you leave me alone You regret me I’ve no more hope to lend I’ll be ok if you leave me alone Simple pleasures will never come to an end Prints hung in frames Capture details of What we were All of mine faded out Like the songs we know From our past Sleeping under constellations All because you’ve lost the keys for your front door So light it up and sleep alone Or do you want to take all that is mine? I’ll be ok if you leave me alone You regret me I’ve no more hope to lend I’ll be ok if you leave me alone Simple pleasures will never come to an end I’ll be ok if you leave me alone I’ll be ok if you leave me alone I’ll be ok if you leave me alone I’ll be ok if you leave me alone

Mockery 03:22
A bygone age his death is why we're talking Why I waste my breath Just to keep you toking I still recognise that the day brings back the things that close your mind A mockery inside of me is what we'll need to make ends meet Truth be told I'm done You're out of luck so I will not digress We won't hide this banner Take a closer look It's not half as empty as you first mistook So we breathe ourselves to sleep to achieve sobriety I don't want to go down that road again You don't want to see me gasping just to get a little air I don't want to take you diving off the mountain side I won't let you out my sight in case you accidently died I don't want to pick your body off the ground again You don't want to pick and choose you want the world to be your friend I'm getting older and I'm getting pretty tired of regretting We don't want to go down this road again. Don't make promises that you cannot keep and Don't get out your bed til you've been asleep so you don't lose your head cos your body's weak and blood is all you'll bleed This mockery inside of me is what we'll need to make ends meet I don't want to go down that road again You don't want to see me gasping just to get a little air I don't want to take you diving off the mountain side I won't let you out my sight in case you accidently died I don't want to pick your body off the ground again You don't want to pick and choose you want the world to be your friend I'm getting older and I'm getting pretty tired of regretting We don't want to go down this road again. I don't want to pick your body off the ground again You don't want to pick my body off the ground again We don't want to pick your body off the ground again We don't really want to make our way back down this road again.

You vanished from the earth And left us in the lurch what happens now Is it enough to cry? Nobody knows quite why you had to go How many times a week Am I expected not to sleep And wait for you Any more Occomore Ships in dock set to leave Now you're knocking on Occomore's door but it's more than you bargained for You've vanished from this earth And left us in the lurch for a whole week And the last time you let me down something got broken I don't mind How many times a week Am I expected not to sleep and wait for you Any more Occomore All aboard take a seat Who is knocking on Occomore's door but it's more than you bargained for Take a leaf from his book and take flight Because you'll never know oh oh exactly when you'll die No you probably won't marry and your hair will never grow But you'll always know oh oh you're a saint as far as pushers go So now you've gone you took your leave to warmer climates I believe no one can make you stay at home but does it make you less alone how many times a week do I keep lying through my teeth and pray for you Any more Occomore Chance of rescue is bleak So I'm knocking on Occomore's door but it's more than you bargained for Take a leaf from his book and take flight Because you'll never know oh oh exactly when you'll die No you probably won't marry and your hair will never grow But you'll always know oh oh you're a saint as far as pushers go Leave Your books And your mind Because you'll never know oh oh exactly what you'll find Your pocket's full of twenties and your eyes are full of gold But you'll always know oh oh you're a saint as far as pushers go

Code red: it’s a dark December Hold hands ‘til we remember home This siege is nearly over The battle’s only just begun Frightening light up in the sky If you fail we’re going to die And if we die we’re going to float away If you think about it I won’t talk about it You have a face I can’t recall All I see is a mirror ball dancing Now you’ve got a look I can’t recall You’ve slipped right off the track Announce your crime denounce your pride Alleviate your broken mind take to the north, take to the north, take to the north, take to the north Code red it’s a dark December The sun is finally dying out If someone lit the beacons The wind would only blow it out Now we turn to falling trees To ask them what they think of me And ask them if we’re going to die today Someone ask about it I won’t talk about it You have a face I can’t recall All I see is a mirror ball dancing Now you’ve got a look I can’t recall You’ve slipped right off the track Announce your crime denounce your pride Alleviate your broken mind take to the north, take to the north, take to the north, take to the north
