Spin

Flip for me, twist for me
Tell me I am not broken
Fighting with the dissonance
Is not a real problem
I am a warehouse of cables
Improperly stored
Sipping at colourful cocktails
And swiping at moths
Comforted by a store-bought
Robot with retina scans
I am badly connected
But I am not broken
Drip drip drip and erode
Flash, sparks, follow
A hole, a door, an avenue
Run, man, run!

Wrestling With A Wrecking Ball

Hand prints in the dust
Tales link back to us
Hard truths yours to bear
Find youth in your despair

All of the stars align inside of her head
All of the answers hide despite her footsteps
All of her prophesying just lies to itself
She's the centre of a universe built for her

Jane stays a vapour trail
Pinned back on the rails
Life's scars carried around
Don't let them lock you out

I am wrestling with a wrecking ball
I am resting on my chemicals
I am wrestling with a wrecking ball

I am praying for a miracle
I am getting far too cynical
I am wrestling with a wrecking ball

So what does the crystal say?
Is that the only way?
She found herself a prince
And I've never seen her since

This is her one and only chance to step off the train
This is her one and only chance to bring me back again
This is her one and only chance to step off the train
This is my one and only chance to bring me back again

I am wrestling with a wrecking ball
I am wrestling with a wrecking ball

I Can't Believe The Things I Said

Saturday was a better day, but there were no winners
I can’t believe the things I said
And anyway, I haven’t changed My feelings remain
I just can’t keep my hands away

You spent all your money on things that take the worry
You spent all your money on things that take the worry

So this is my new face, a hollow space, forged from the deepest fires
I can’t believe the things I said, or I could say

You spent all your money on things that take the worry
You spent all your money on things that take the worry away

It doesn’t make you feel like it used to but you still do it anyway
It doesn’t make you feel like it used to but you still do it anyway

Run

What did I do wrong this time?
How can I still sleep at night?
When she is crying somewhere
On her own, we’re on our own
Everyone feels alone sometimes

I’m in a cave, which way is the light?
I must behave, cuz I’ll pay for these lies
And she is smiling to herself
All alone, put down the phone
Everyone needs to go home sometimes

You be the pretty one, I’ll be your pirate
I see the beast in you but you’re too scared to ride it
You’re such a sweet thing, you’re sting is silent
You bring the peace to it, I’ll bring the fire

I’ll be the dream that you never knew you had
I’ll be the scream in the screams that drive you mad
I’ll be the pilot fish, I’ll bring the rain
Run little pretty thing run, I will eat your simple life away

I’ll be the dream, I’ll be the one
I’ll be the thing that makes you go on
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep you safe
I’ll be the one thing in your life that will never change
