Well let’s go straight down the rat race you always knew my favourite place of hiding and dreaming you’re steaming cause you don't think there's a way You're steaming cause you don't tell the story straight look just at your face this day, this phase this phrasing of a maze this moonphase.. hey you hold on for one more day disconnect your devices unplug the wires all we have are feelings hey you, you could be the one but all we want to do is disconnect from everyone that ever was can we stay forever young? you can hold the back door, I got the front and nobody up the stairs free movie sites say something like maybe just stick around I could keep you for the weekend baby I don't mean to freak you out! I was like a virus you were like a medicine I didn't have to go out there why do I have to be addicted to your love? well lead us back to the old place, nobody recognises us inside.. well let's go straight down the rat race you always knew my favourite place of hiding and dreaming you're steaming cause you don't think there's a way you're steaming cause you don't know the story or these memories or these restless nights I would wake up sweating and scared and honestly I don't know why I am not forgetting I think about you all the time if you knew that you were leaving why did you not say it? goodbye.. can we stay forever young? chicken hold the back door I got the front and nobody’s up the stairs can we stay forever young? you can hold the back door, I got the front and nobody up the stairs free movie sites say something like maybe just stick around I could keep you for the weekend baby I could keep you for the weekend yeah I don't mean to freak you out! I was like a virus you were like a medicine somewhere up the stairs in a cabinet unexplained absence and missing tablets now I have to call everyone

Old Moods  03:12
I’m dissolving in the booth just wear another Saturday gown I know you’re upset but you can’t block the whole world out you were in your own mood I was in the other room I know that for you this is so hard I was on my old phone, hoping to get left alone with my concrete heart.. All my life I’ve been waiting for something real All my life I’ve been waiting for something real put your chopsticks on what you tie your hair back with praying mantis like a mother only sees potential in young eyes some of yours shimmering and maybe some of mine flickering transient preferable help me put the pressure on, there’s no polite way there’s not any way to leave without an explanation and I didn’t see your faces, overwhelmingly I’m feeling you just felt betrayed In your own way A gesture Hand signals on the wall and the french doors you ask me and I say that I think it’s a ‘fenetre’ you can put your mind at rest they’re not talking about us you were in your own mood I was in the other room I know that you’re homesick, and so far all we have is phone calls, is he cursing these walls? or can we live it? All my life I’ve been waiting for something real All my life I’ve been waiting for something real I’m running circles again and all I need is a friend you’re always saying that I’m always hearing that I’m running circles again and all I need is a friend.. you were in your own mood I was in the other room I know that for you this is so hard I was on my old phone hoping to get left alone with my concrete heart.. All my life I’ve been waiting for something real All my life I’ve been waiting for something, for one thing.. for something real.

I wish I could stage an evacuation of my mind I kick in the glass my thoughts leave en masse down the staircase and behind once outside and standing in a line these memories want to get back but I cannot abide them don't even recognise them I realise it's my fault.. and theres no one else to blame with my conspiracies again old lawn cart, won't jump start ask your son to clean my car roll the jack, zodiac old anxiety attacks me and I'm running out of time I wish I could stage some kind of intervention in my heart gather all my feelings into one chamber and show them how it starts I’d shuffle up the cabinet, nip it in the bud my reformatted organ would just pump blood a vascular automaton just kicking back on Amazon can I live like this remotely from my room? fighting back the curtains gloom each night you really wouldn't think that it gets that bad how are so many neuroses on my lyric pad? tonight I ripped it up, and threw it out melancholic flu’s about apologies if this sounds deadpan but you would not believe the backup plan I don't have! this music is my lifeboat.. absorb art, read Descartes ask your son to clean my car piggyback, zodiac old anxiety attacks Big full stop, empty cup all our friends are so grown-up get unstuck, made up luck all the worlds a diving duck salty kiss, break your heart ticked it off on future charts shimmer skin, young sweetheart hold the keys to your weak parts I hold the codes to your weak heart

Everything is all inside my bag and I can’t stop the dog thing anymore and its hard to concentrate when you were hoping i might choke on my words lets call the ship around before we’re dead I should get to know you and what you think about crypto why don’t we drive somewhere perfectly awake? and let the sun rise up on all primates and while were on it at least i was honest maybe just a little too clear Mich, you’re an agent.. of fear time is running out these psychopaths are moving they run this house and Linda Moulton Howe has documented Aliens and if I understand this right you.. probably know culture is a frame i don’t want to go the same way we get one chance and its already hard explaining my gappy resume which ill never be ashamed of which I’m never filling in

I was so afraid.. driving to that new school ironed shirts forced immersion un-gradeable grades from my medicated face and yes i did have ideas that they could make me captive and detained so static in their social world in a song thats barely a complete thought about it we figured out what Mr Cook would do but his temple was so guarded we made the perfect charmers Prefects entertained by southern Californian bands it was then or never we ran hey, put your raincoat on just to get along kiss me when your wrong and I’m wrong more than I’m right but tonight I’d say i qualify so, girl lets get away way to kill the vibe talk about Fluoride on the first date cause it can’t wait.. now, where are you I called eleven times checking you were still mine..

Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting up the night, Dallas Knows the Reason, Dallas Knows the Reason standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight, Dallas Knows the Reason, Dallas Knows the Reason And now I cannot quite decide if you were serious when you told me you were on your way around to mine, why am I staring at a blank computer terminal again on my Sunday to avoid your call? I'm not even a massive fan of human interaction lately and that's not your fault at all. Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight, you could be the reason, you could be the reason yeah tin metal cans gonna fly, you could be the reason, you could be the reason It's not a mystery when we are destined for decline that you would feel so sad, the existential burden everybody dies. I'm waiting for you. I can't afford you, and moving into your house it was the hardest thing. I'm not even a massive fan of basic conversation lately and that's not your fault Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight, you could be the reason, you could be the reason yeah tin metal cans gonna fly, you could be the reason, you could be the reason And I'm sure it's deliberately designed I slept on your floor on the last day of 1999. And a mad social contract that we never signed, or saw or realised was planned for our minds.. Well like any of that mattered anyway, you're home were renegades in our minds. I'm not done yet, just understand that you were watching a broken man I did my time and had I been like you I might have shook that hand, I could've took your paycheque in your bank wasteland, and I could've built my castle on your shifting sands and hanged.

The karma’s coming back theres only one way out they want us all gone I read the Georgia Stones you’ll know it when you look the studies have been cooked but no ones gonna know we kill our whistleblowers only hearts of black whats coming down their tracks? and who is gonna save us? these 9/11 babies the office the greyscale the tunnels the plasterboard the windows 95 the reason I’m alive to be clear for one year the island the mainland the chemtrails the cocktails the function the form manipulated norms I’m roughly ignited I’m changed by this island I’m wishing i could see you if the clock hands would turn back here i am again feeling out this deep pain the lobbyists are crazy cause 9/11 babies Pharma knows the cure but profits must endure regulations failed they’ve all been blackmailed the language the echoes nostalgia the clock hands the windows 95 just as i arrive it was so clear for one year the island the mainland the chemtrails the cocktails the function the form the will inside to overcome it all.

Gush 03:03
let it out all your favourite songs that are just pure classics now all those headstock names both of us would rave about and that two week holiday i couldn’t shut up about i’m calling.. but all i have’s your last reply You were like the sister I never had you were like the weight of all the ocean you were like the tidal wave rolling back gushing me under you’re the falling star you’re the checkerboard trust this emotion you’re the morning air thermodynamic rising with the ashes of the band and we could speak in tongues i’ll make it up again tabletop spinning glass amongst ringing ears it’s the world i fear You were like the sister I never had you were like the weight of all the ocean you were like the tidal wave rolling back gushing me underneath You were like the sister I never had you were like the weight of all the ocean you were like the tidal wave rolling back gushing me under you’re the falling star you’re the checkerboard unstacked emotion you’re the avatar thermodynamic rising with the ashes of us all some things they never die

Kimobetsu Love It’s what it does to you that makes it feel so strong you’re mad at your phone again and the snow is falling so much more up here and if you gotta run I guess you gotta run I guess you gotta run sometimes from your problems and your whole life It’s your second year your friends have disappeared I guess they had to go sometime and if you gotta run I guess you gotta run I guess you gotta run sometimes I know you’re gunna run you always run away from your problems and your whole damn life you could write it in a thank you card find out just what kind of grateful you are do we even have a right to love are we going? you could write it in a thank you card find out just what kind of great you are do we even have a right to love? no! are we going? you should write it in your own damn words just a message pen, paper, start. even though its gonna wreck your heart just do it Kimobetsu, Love has got you standing at the altar now its what it does to you that makes it feel so strong Kimobetsu Love We control disease Our lobbyists agree It’s such easy money So shut your mouth immediately
