Oceans 03:03
2.
This shore and these men in their bars - they depend on me; And they crash in my mind, and these waves; they are calling me But I can't wait; I can't waste; another year of failure So I'll waste my time Like you said. Like you always said; And I will shine my light into the sea. So let's pretend like we always did As these stars I hung upon your wall grow dim; And they count, in the dark, the hounding years. So I'll take a boat to the tower, to the rock, that was built for me. Bracing nowhere. (So let these waves pour over me; these bodies could never hold us.)

Saturday delivers like a bullet. What a way to live. What a way to breathe! So listen hard; these conversations keep me fighting for life in circles, in circles. I swear I'll never falter. Trying to keep my head under the water; surfaces so clear cover me now. Dig in hard; it's a cold hard way to be free. It's torture. Deliverance is easy when your crawling on your knees. The sickening sound of breaking down, the stutter of defeat and I'm sorry to let go. I'm not going home. (Don't place your dreams in front of my feet)

Tiger Tail 04:57
5.
Breaking with desire I can smell the air from tyres. (I wanted to make something louder than me) Every waking hour I am haunted by the party brokers towers so excited as they feed. I wanted to believe I deserved the air I breathe I was wrong, I swear. But I can't break what I cannot see. Bracing me is like a slow disease. (I wanted to make something louder than me) The bodies of the fallen lie in patterns on the roadway like the playing out of particles they cling together Can't you see that it's broken, can't you see that it's bigger than me? I can tall that it's over now. (So let these waves pour over me; these bodies could never hold us.)
