Giving Up 03:25
We both thought things were gonna change, But everything ended up the same. Now I’m giving up. I need to fly but there’s no escape, I feel my eyes welling up with rage. Now I’m giving up. I need to go, I need to think, give me some time and space ‘till we can sort this out. I need to go, I need to think, figure out what we want so we can sort this out. We both thought things were gonna change, But everything ended up the same. Now I’m giving up. Am I the one going through a phase? Or is it you who will never change? Now I’m giving up.

I won’t be a while, just give me an inch Please give me a smile and don’t be a bitch I’m seeing my friends going out on the piss It’s not too much to ask, still this problem exists I’m always wondering why it seems you’re growing old fast You think of reasons to cry while you dig up the past You must believe me I try turning over inside Still you wind me up screaming and shouting why? World war three by the time I get in We talk it over but still There’s always that cloud hanging over You act like there’s no bigger sin Of course you insist it’s just me Still there’s always that cloud hanging over Do you remember a time not so far in the past We wouldn’t bicker and fight there’d be no need to ask If I was seeing my friends you would want me to go I’d be having a blast, now your answer is no I’m always wondering why it seems you’re growing old fast You think of reasons to cry while you dig up the past You must believe me I try turning over inside Still you wind me up screaming and shouting why? I’m fighting, I’m fighting the thumb

On My Way 03:01
Is this the end of me and you? I think I know it you do too Forget the questions and lies Forget pretenses and false ties Forget good times that we’ve had Don’t wanna face not going back Yeah it’s been long and it’s been fun We’ll both be sorry when it’s done When I think it’s not you that I want Then I know that it’s wrong to carry on I’m just so sick of lying And sick of all the fighting Fuck this I’m on my way

Almost 03:46
We have to talk she said, but I don’t think we have to. We could be best friends I said, but that’s not what you think we should do. But it’s taking too much time, I think I’m gonna lose my mind, I haven’t even left my home yet. But everyone must choose another person they won’t lose, for all the years they live in. But I don’t think I want that, and I don’t think I need that, and I don’t think I should say that, We almost had it made. We have to talk I said, there’s some problems we should address. Things are going fine she said, you’re just a fucking perfectionist.

Falling Down 03:38
Open your eyes criticise what’s in front of your face Before too long it’ll push you over the edge Freedom’s an illusion Minimum wage keeps the workers in their place If it’s not war it’s disease the economy breaks News on the TV lies it's a fucking disgrace Close your eyes if you wanna Propaganda keeps the people in their place It’s over now, this whole thing is falling down Just hold me now, this whole thing is falling down This whole thing is falling down Just watch as they tear it down This whole thing is falling down Stand up, get out or get in Look at this mess we’re in If you look you will find and you’ll never forget Effects of greed on this world and the people dead Just live your life if you wanna If doesn’t matter if it’s you that’s just been fed If you consume then you’re doomed to spend your whole life in debt Sell you a dream out of reach you can never get The system will hunt you down It’s all designed to keep you numb and in your place

Box 03:12
It’s time for thinking outside the box Reality is a question because I’ve held myself back for far too long No social life and nowhere I belong I don’t know what I have to do I’m lost in doubt without a clue So motionless I have to try I’m trapped in here I don’t know why I’ve got this feeling I’m missing out Seems like the world’s got their lives figured out Another day just another waste I take my time doing nothing in haste I don’t know what I have to do I’m lost in doubt without a clue So motionless I have to try I’m trapped in here I don’t know why I build it up just to watch it all falling down (Just move along hoping things will just be alright) It’s time for thinking outside the box Life's got no meaning I feel so lost I had a dream I forgot what it was Just too distracted just killing time And fucking sick of pretending I'm fine

Take It Easy 02:31
Take it easy when you’re gone Since you’ve been back we’ve had so much fun Back on the lanes like the glory days Times have changed in so many ways Forgot our youth so we relive the past God I wish those days could have last We thought our lives were all set in stone Who’d have thought we’d grow up and get old I waste my time wasted with you Here’s to the good old days we never thought we’d see I raise my pint and drink with you Here’s to the good old days we never thought we’d see again Think of the times when we all did the same Rolling joints trying to hide from the rain And always out creeping round in the dark Building dens getting pissed in the park I feel the same as I always did then It never dies living on till the end The legend says and it’s written in stone Fuck growing up we’ll never get old I think about my life I stop and wonder why? Then my eyes flip back with giant Mars's inside my head So we just keep getting high

Who Int You 03:26
I’m sitting here On my own just sitting here I wanna feel your love but you broke it off and took it away Now what to do? My eyes are red I’m feeling blue I wanna call you but there’s really nothing for me to say I’m holding out for life to all work out some day and be fine But all I ever do is think of you I’m heading out to town the night life drowns my sorrows in time Still all I ever do is think of you I’m broke in two I'm sitting here On my own just sitting here With a warm flat beer and an overfilling stinking ashtray It’s been a year A drunken wreck abandon year I wish I’d known you called but I smashed my phone and threw it away Now you’re sitting here Across from me you’re really here With the nerve to tell me your boyfriend left and threw you away (Ha shit yeah I know how it feels) I really hope this time my life works out and I’ll be fine Why did I ever waste my time on you? I’m headed out to town the night lights shine so bright tonight Zip up my heart and find me someone new Who isn’t you

Tell me a fairytale Tell me you’re sleeping there Tell me you’re happy there with him Tell me your life is bare Tell me you’re lonely there Tell me that you want rescuing Is this another boring day? Is it your dream to be taken away? Is this what you grew up to be? This marriage ain’t for me Said Mary Jane to me Twenty years ago today In a playhouse far away I saw you standing there on stage You kinda smiled to me The lighting dimmed for me I waited for you in the rain Are you watching the children grow? Do you remember what happened so long ago? Is this how you want things to be? This marriage ain’t for me Said Mary Jane to me I pay your apartment rent I see you now and then The kids seem happy there with him Tell me your life is bare Tell me you’re lonely there Tell me that you want rescuing
