Oxygen

It's strictly physical
Our bodies on the line
No more cheap conversation
Use that oxygen to save me
I know you're feeling it
I think I feel it too
Slide my hands a little higher
Make you work a little harder
Respect the power
Feel my power
Reaching for the tissues
But not because of your daddy issues
It's strictly physical
Our bodies on the line
No more cheap conversation
Use that oxygen to save me
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
It's strictly physical
Our bodies on the line
No more cheap conversation
Use that oxygen to save me
I know you're feeling it
I think I feel it too
Slide my hands a little higher
Make you work a little harder
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf
Take a picture of yourself
Put it up on the shelf

Organism
03:16

You are the breath until your body breaks
You are the illness that your system shakes
In the image of an arc swept low
Then up until a song it makes
To repress until the questions flow
Illustrate until the classroom follows
Your left hand can't know where the right has been
Flick your tongue until the words spill
So go and file your decisions
This is not intermission
This is a...
To repeat until the pressure peaks
And put some blood into your cheeks
Bottom feeding on an ancient lore
Breath recycling 'til the room speaks
Always pleading that you act on inaction
Always hoping that you combat distraction, so I can distract you
So go and file your decisions
This is not intermission
This is a big world in a little girl

Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
I feel I, I feel I, I feel I, I feel I
Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
I feel I, I feel I, I feel I, I feel I
Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling
Follow to go forward
Throw your hands up reach the ceiling
I'm voice to fill the void
And we're a band to bridge the boredom
Selling tickets to the tourney
To the kids who can't afford them
Whoop
Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
I feel I, I feel I, I feel I, I feel I
Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
I feel I, I feel I, I feel I, I feel I
Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling
Follow to go forward
Throw your hands up reach the ceiling
I'm voice to fill the void
And we're a band to bridge the boredom
Selling tickets to the tourney
To the kids who can't afford them
Whoop
Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
I feel I, I feel I, I feel I, I feel I
Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
I feel like I've a lifetime to say goodbye
Am I thinking what I think I'm feeling
Follow to go forward
Throw your hands up reach the ceiling
I'm voice to fill the void
And we're a band to bridge the boredom
Selling tickets to the tourney
To the kids who can't afford them
Whoop

Save your advice
Think once, don’t think twice
Enter the bloodstream
Touching you just there
Open your eyes
Let it fill those TV screens
With perfect bodies
Save your advice
Think once, don’t think twice
Enter the bloodstream
Touching you just there
Open your eyes
Let it fill those TV screens
With perfect bodies

Lone Bird
04:18
|

I see you that way
I see you in a corner
Lone Bird keep flapping
It’s time to cross the water
She likes her coffee black
She is her mother’s daughter
Lone Bird keep flapping
It’s time to cross the water
She’ll never fall to the forces
She’ll never fall when the wind dies down
Lone Bird is flying to the South-East
Flying high just because she can
I see you that way
I see you in a corner
Lone Bird keep flapping
It’s time to cross the water
She likes her coffee black
She is her mother’s daughter
Lone Bird keep flapping
It’s time to cross the water
I see you flying, I see you breaking borders
Lone Bird keep flapping
It’s time to cross the water
Am I a bird that flies, flies into a new day?
Am I a bird that finds? I’m finding you some other way
I am a bird that finds, I’m finding you some other way

The Endless Story
04:10
|

One, two, three times
We fell in love
One, two, three times
You broke my heart
Too many times, I look above
Thinking of you
Get you on your back I’m feeling bold
A little romance bares the soul
A little time to languish
Fiery feelings: feed them with anguish
Cos it’s my master vision
Complex plays played with precision
Tough men making tough decisions
And everybody should stop and listen out
All these things
Why all these things
Why all these things that cause collisions
Not part of my master vision
All these things
Why all these things
Why all these things that cause collisions
Not part of my master vision
One, two, three times
We fell in love
One, two, three times
You broke my heart
Too many times, I look above
Thinking of you…
When will it come true?
Enter the endless story
Too much of anything’s boring
The sum of us is multiplying
Subtract and divide to pass the time

Flutism
04:45
|

Your story does consist of many layers
And the presence of a former love is not what I’m afraid of
I’m sensing some resentment, sensing insecurities
About securing love through the use of kitchen utilities
Fear is in the back seat driving
Trying to pump the brakes always fearful of colliding
Lust keeps turning up the heat
Hate is hating all the beats
And somewhere in the back I hear a little girl crying out
I can’t love it if I can’t cut it
If I can’t cut it then I’m only gonna let you down
I can’t love it if I can’t cut it
If I can’t cut it then I’m only gonna let you down
Everybody’s gonna have a say sooner or later
And you we’re about to talk us through your career as a grand manipulator
I’m sensing some resentment, sensing insecurities
About securing love through the use of kitchen utilities
Fear is in the back seat driving
Trying to pump the brakes always fearful of colliding
Lust keeps turning up the heat
Hate is hating all the beats
And somewhere in the back I hear a little girl crying out
I can’t love it if I can’t cut it
If I can’t cut it then I’m only gonna let you down
I can’t love it if I can’t cut it
If I can’t cut it then I’m only gonna let you down
But loving always felt great
Holding you was no mistake
If only you could listen my question wasn’t said that way
I’m recommending down time, recommending separation
Separate desire from your powers of persuasion

Consolation
Feel so bored
I’m still hungry
Feed me more
I won’t let you keep playing the cat and the mouse
Fevering will never get you out of this house
Twenty-eight years too late, baby open your mouth
It’s time to taste what you’ve always been talking about
Consolation
Feels no good
Mouth wide open
Feed me more
I won’t let you keep playing the cat and the mouse
(I just wanna feel good)
Fevering will never get you out of this house
(I still got more to stay)
Twenty-eight years too late, baby open your mouth
(Silence isn’t cessation)
It’s time to taste what you’ve always been talking about
Consolation
Feels no good
Silence isn’t cessation
Vibing on a vibration
I won’t let you keep playing the cat and the mouse
(I just wanna feel good)
Fevering will never get you out of this house
(I still got more to stay)
Twenty-eight years too late, baby open your mouth
(Silence isn’t cessation)
It’s time to taste what you’ve always been singing about

Breathe Underwater
02:58

Go waste some time
Go be with friends who love you
I’ll fall into line
I’ll fall into feeling ok
I trust you now
But May was a different story
It’s all very well
To call me when I am sleeping
But I am never far away
But in the morning that may change
The song may play on somewhere else
But loneliness still feels the same
We draw and retrace
I follow your fingertips
Up my arm to my face
Hold me like I still mean something
Love isn’t patience
It's prescribe and self-medicate
It's a trip to the beach
Then a week to resuscitate
So go waste some time
Go be with friends who love you
I’ll fall into line
I’ll fall into feeling like I’m ok
I am never far away
But in the morning that may change
The song may play on somewhere else
But loneliness still feels the same
I am never far away
I am never far away
I am never far away

The Opposite of Us
04:22
|

You say that you want my love then I’m a believer
You reach your hand out to me then I’m gonna hold it
You fill my eyes with your smiles my brain with your chemicals
I forgot to say, forgot to say,
I’ll just say something dumb anyway
And everything is a layer that gets in between us
And every kiss is a countdown, time ‘til the next one
This time we’re under the sheets and really baby
I wanna make something else
Something new, something different, something with you
You know my heart feels the hurt when you turn the heat up
Sometimes we’re missing the man when it’s time to stand up
I feel the pressure like I hear music
I’m only doing the best I can, the best I can
I am trying the best I can
With nobody else left to call
With nobody else left at all
Is when you finally back down
Get your back up off the wall
What else is there left to know
There wasn’t us four months ago
Until somebody backed down
Body backed down from the show
This time we’ll come up for love
This time we’ll come up for love
You say that you want my love then I’m a believer
You reach a hand out to me then I’m gonna hold it
You fill my eyes with your smiles my brain with you chemicals
I forgot to say, I forgot to say,
I’ll just say something dumb
Oh lover don’t you fake it
Oh lover won’t you figure it out
With nobody else left to call
With nobody else left at all
Is when you finally back down
Get your back up off the wall
What else is there left to know
There wasn’t us four years ago
Until somebody stood up
We picked ourselves up off the floor
This time we’ll come up for love
This time we’ll come up for love

You told us how you're feeling
Well, congratulations
You describe every dealing without hesitations
All you've ever wanted was a man to hold you
All you've ever gotten is a hand that scolds you
But today you want blood
Don’t tell me calm down, tell me calm down
‘Cos I won't listen
Don’t call me lover, call me lover
‘Cos I won't understand
It's not because I don't want you
It's not because I'm in denial
I lost with my heart with my patience
Just digging up these frustrations
And everybody is talking
And everybody is hungry now
I'm setting fire to these pages
I'm tearing down these walls somehow
You broke down, now you're healing
Well, congratulations
Your torment and your reeling and just conversations
Your face is only telling what your heart has sold you
All you've ever wanted was a man to hold you
But today you want blood
Don’t tell me calm down, tell me calm down
'Cos I won't listen
To call me lover, call me lover
‘Cos I won't understand
It's not because I don't want you
It's not because I'm in denial
I lost with my heart with my patience
Just digging up these frustrations
And everybody is talking
And everybody is hungry now
I'm setting fire to these pages
I'm tearing down these walls somehow
Run back home and hide
Feathers do make light
Feathers don't make flight
Run back home and hide
Fear do make light
From fear you will fly
It's not because I don't want you
It's not because I'm in denial
I lost with my heart with my patience
Just digging up these frustrations
Everybody is talking
And everybody is hungry now
I'm setting fire to these pages
I'm tearing down these walls somehow
It's not because I don't want you
It's not because I'm in denial
I lost with my heart with my patience
Just digging up these frustrations
Everybody is talking
And everybody is hungry now
I'm setting fire to these pages
I'm tearing down these walls somehow

Over Matter

In my most faded state
And in my jaded hate
I will say what I’ll say
And in my modest way
I will say what I’ll say
And through a sea of waste
I will wade unimpinged
It was foreseen by the stars
It was foreseen from within
And I am everywhere at once
When I was nowhere to begin
And I am wading through to you
So discard the romance and throw out the voodoo
Everybody is dancing
But no one dances like we do
I’m in a cloud of crazy
I’m in a craze of lazy
I’m in a swim out to the middle
Just to see if you’ll save me
My friends, they take it to the streets
They are not warm to receiving
There is no tact, nor taste
When your stocks are depleting
Markets reacting
New angles protracting
Agencies exacting
Statistics impacting
Going out of my brain just to keep right from insane
‘Cos it’s catch and kill and release
And anybody and everybody’s my sworn enemies
Is my brain just a clock to remind me
To sleep and to wake and to piss and to fuck and to
(Hurt is all around me, hurt is all around me)
Kisses won’t wake me
No silence will break me
(Hurt is all around me, hurt is all around me)
Measure the impulse and relay the response
And open and reflective will gain another perspective on it all
(Hurt is all around me, hurt is all around me)
Then give in, give in, give in…
Until the day shatters you
Penalise the imposters, fertilize not foster
Rebrand, rebuild, renew

You look inside
You’re the beauty of the pageant
I’ve given first prize to you
And acting out
It will stop you feeling bad
It’ll keep us making eyes across the room
Such a headstrong girl
I’m a heart-stung boy
Trying to win you with a song
Just to stop you playing coy
With reason returning
And numbers resolving
Got me doing the math
Just to know you belong to me
Ooh
Well I guess you know better
Ooh
Well I guess you know better
Ooh
I guess you know better
Better this time
Better that time
Add more feeling to the fervour
We are alright
It was better this time
Better that time
Once a lover to another
Now you’re all mine
We were better this time
Better that time
Well my all is to let
Not a hold and regret
When our feelings are met
With our fear
Now don’t you get it
Ooh
Well I guess you know better
Ooh
Well I guess you know better
Ooh
Guess you know better
Looking for the peace and the order
That lies inside of you
Sweeping floors
And combing through drawers
And I know it gets better
I just don’t know when
Falling out of bed
‘Cos the ghost sits there
And he’s shaking his head
At the state of our affairs
I’m a full-grown man
With a full-blown woman
Better this time
Better that time
Add more feeling to the fervor
We are alright
It was better this time
Better that time
Once a lover to another
Now you’re all mine
We were better this time
Better that time
Well my all was to let
Not a hold and regret
Better this time
Better that time
Add more feeling to the fervor
We are alright
We were better this time
Better that time
Once a lover to another
Now you’re all mine
We were better this time
Better that time
Well my all was to let
Not a hold and regret
When our feelings are met
With our fear
Now don’t you get it
