THE LIONS ARE SO PROUD
I CAN'T WAIT TO
SEE YOUR FACE WHEN...
CROCODILE!
I eat the bird you know,
It was meant for you but when you froze me
I froze the bird too,
It didn't taste the same, however could it?
Plane to get the passport,
Belfast, so you can ask me to
Come to Ko-Tao, right now
Show me my dad in the sky
(THE WATER)
Reflection
(PENNY'S GOT A PACE)
And a skull where there was nothing before
(WHERE THERE WAS A FACE, AND A DATE)
It spoke,
I forgot the joke
(HA HA HA)
I'M NOT LAUGHING
Silverbacks are best, when they're dead
Ring the doorbell
Clayton you're best, when you're dead
Pass the parcel
SIMBA YOU'RE MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE BECOME
YOU MUST TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE
CIRCLE OF LIFE!
[Wildi:]
There's a girl in the seat in front of me
Talking about all the places you and I want to be
Outside from the wing,
Falling and fucking forget everything,
This pin's not going away
I'll keep it in my stomach
Be a ghost and just wait, just wait, just...
[Weezey:]
I'll sleep when,
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
Dead
[x2]
THE PRIDE IS NOW DEAD, SURRENDER!
(RINGING THE BELL, NOT HEARING, I)
Wrung it too loud, but that's how
(I'M FEELING)
I know you won't forget about breakfast
(SHOW ME MY DAD IN THE SKY)
The water
(REFLECTION)
I eat the bird you know,
Remember when I said you're a laser/electric
(UNDER THE)
I see all of you,
Dens in bed I wouldn't trade
I'll burn and ache and wait
(BLAH BLAH BLAH)
I'M NOT LAUGHING
Silverbacks are best, when they're dead
Ring the doorbell
Clayton you're best, when you're dead
Pass the parcel
[Weezey:]
I KILLED MUFASA
Treetop diesease,
The caterpillar climbs to the highest leaves
And liquifies, and bursts,
Casting it's seeds below to the earth
[Wildi:]
And win your scars, cape descend
Fair when we're...
[Lex/Hayman:]
THE GUNSHOTS ARE FUCKING SLY, GOODBYE!
THEY RIP RIGHT THROUGH THE LION'S PRIDE
ZAZU, FLY YOUR BEAK LIKE THE DUSK
AND ESCAPE FROM YOUR RIBCAGE
[Wildi:]
Scar, ashes, where I don't know I'll be
Fair when we're...
[Lex/Hayman/Weezey:]
Scar, malevolence,
Ashes is who you are,
Eyes of blood
Tell me how did you get your scar?
Released,
Thrown from a red star
Scar, it's ok,
People like you are generally too afraid,
Or too spiteful to try in case
You discover
Something you might actually like, well
I'll stay as long as you let me
|

The audacity, passive pulse
And he can't catch it he's back
But in a way he's always gone and never known
Pass the parcel when I get passed
I shouldn't have to have asked for it
But you can make it a passport, just jump for it
Remember laughing when we were waiting for life to happen
(Not much has happened) but I try to phase it out
I know you can't be fucked, you never can
You know we should have, no pride, no pride, yeah
[Weezey:]
I flew at the wall,
Felt my ripple cripple the sides
It suits me just fine to know
What I saw inside, yeah
[Wildi:]
Laugh loud cus I'm not afraid of you
Says I'll be here still
Stay the same,
Why you wear those gloves
When there's no glove to wear of
I'm not counting us
WE COULD BE BEST FRIENDS
You and I, we're maxed out
We're canned how the year just went through my fingers
And I could've died I was so happy,
But the old dog's the one
The new tricks were on a clock
I felt the clock break
As I left, I caught the breeze early
But the wind was there nonetheless
With wood still stuck to raft, but not,
Stuck in the past, we got
No pride, no pride, yeeaahh
I flew at the wall,
Felt my ripple cripple the sides
It suits me just fine
To know what I saw inside, yeah
Laugh loud cus I'm not afraid of you
Says I'll be here still
Stay the same,
Why you wear those gloves
When there's no glove to wear of
I'm not counting us
[Hayman:]
I'm circling the drain, I'm having doubts again
I don't know, there's too many cogs missing from this machine
There's too many questions unanswered
I don't know if answers come with age
Or maybe I'm just getting older and getting stupider
But I don't know...
Maybe I'll find the answers to my questions someday
[Wildi:]
Our time will come but I want to see it,
Now, before us this moment transformed,
Restored in faith and direction
Never be like that day,
That lion with no fucking bite
I was so biased and phased out
Face down, out of place,
Close now but faraway,
Trying to work straight
But crutches won't help that train, it's still late,
That cripple, no ripple river
That ribcage with no guts
But we've all got ruts we're stuck in,
Haven't we everyone?
Our perfect bust is all busted
I'm amazed at this stink
[INCOMPREHENSIBLE SHIT]
[All:]
PLAY ON -
HAVE NONE, ENTITLES YOU TO FREEDOM
HAVE ONE, ENABLES YOU TO BECOME
HAVE TWO, ENABLES YOU TO THREESOME
HAVE THREE, ENABLES US TO...
Buh-baaaa buh, buh, buhnuhnuh, duh, duh, duh
The audacity, passive pulse
And he can't catch it he's back
But in a way he's always gone
And the capacity, touch wood,
Is enough to stay,
May I never lose these ones
Times laid out, facing paces
I'd stride erasing,
Contemplating death or nothingness
Safe, what's the bid, what's the bet?
Seems indifference dresses up
Stones on a beach, there's something more in reach
Life's a peach, and I chew the pit
Sword in sheath will always warm from me
But always I don't mind, oh no

[INAUDIBLE VERSE]
[Chorus]
I'd pull a hook through his cheek
And tug him around the room
It doesn't matter that he's a Capulet, baby
My body he's a
BODY SUGAR SHOCK ME BACK TO LIFE
BODY SUGAR SHOCK ME BACK TO LIFE
Now honey if you were a ray gun,
My god you'd be set to stun
You're electric
This big lightning aura
You're a nuclear powerhorse
And goddamn
I want to see more of you
You're a laser trained right on me oh babe
You're straight-up voltage, I can feel it
See I'm asleep right now, hello this is my cocoon, hope you like it
But I so desperately need you to wake me up, need you to unwind it
Put your finger against my heart and push hard, come on
Unfold me, wake these guts up with your defribillator soul
Thunderbolt
Body sugar shock me back to life
BODY SUGAR SHOCK ME BACK TO LIFE
You've been in my fingers again
Them gaps were made for you
Them gaps were made for us, sugar
It makes me real
[Weezey:]
Hey, you're born on earth
Could you stay on earth with me?
Your properties are indulgent
[Hayman:]
Take me away,
I slept in your bed and it felt so right
Changed me back
You made me feel human
And now it's alright, now it's alright
[Lex:]
Fair weather
My fair weather friend
I never thought you and I
Would meet again
Here
When I've washed up half-drowned here
So why act like a clown to me?
[Wildi:]
Prized and living in
I know, in our heads
Prized and living it,
Close our eyes
Board our windows
I THINK I WOULD

SAY/SWIM/SWIM
ARMS AND ARMOUR SEALS
[VERSE]
This is easily the finest moment and conscience tells that I'm not ready to change and what's unsaid should stay unsaid. Though wordless it is overstated, rows of silk skin, complicated and yet simple somehow silence does it justice - I would listen, would it whisper as I would hear it, would it - grow as I would see it, much less hope. It's dug for days and there is no rope there is no plan, but you don't need gold to cross the Styx if you can build a boat with your bare hands. This lemonade is sugar sour poison, woman and man sustained, built to crux, to notes. Played out and left to wring on strings tied between the tongues of two in love, one in prayer. Pray on, God fearing thing, the brimstone that is the lack, that is the shape without is too much to end up as, repeatedly. Draw up your hands and cast the line and watch it go again.
[CHORUS]
[Weezey:]
It's in the way that you talk
A solar thistle tone
Something more that smells of home
It's in the way that you walk
It's wrong, it feels so strange
Something more that smells of home
[Wildi]
Time takes us all, while it looks much bigger from far away.
Soul - sink me with, as if ripped tide. Good 'hear-much-cold' caressed the cost.
[VERSE]
Is she a life of pain or simply a pain, is there a reflection in the spirit and not the choice. I've been a statue. Come close so I can whisper "you are poison in a thimble" This is a garden but I wouldn't grow it any other way, it grows familiar. Though strangers, do you feel grit and stone to chin and cheek, hangnail to bone? Despite doubt we are all wild at heart. We are all houses made of glass, we are pebbles shaped by the sea like hearts, stonewalls and sandbags that won't keep the water out.
These tears to flood the town for days and cars and front doors and hanging flower baskets and romance would be engulfed, melt to moaning hurricanes half afterwards. Blunt cutlass and brown leaves - but let's not dwell on dread from fear on stems of flowers. Stay hungry, hunt keen. We are all covered in fur it's just invisible, we all have crocodile hands and jagged teeth, we are all wolves in principle - scene animals.
Curves and colours, breath and blue smoke - let's both be cannibals in cowboy hats, six shooter, sugar and sand. Anesthetis, would I but keep this, were a way to wash dry the doubt and fear and feeling of being rolled around the mouth, I know what's real in this. To do away with feigned altruism, table talk and every-day lies. I would be dissolute with your hand in mine - I can hold the shiv, you hold the pistol.
[We'll unlock ourselves]
[Weezey:]
It's in the way that you talk
A solar thistle tone
Something more that smells of home
I CAN FIX YOU
It's in the way that you walk
It's wrong, it feels so strange
Something more that smells of home
[Wildi]
Oh yeah, Time takes us all, while it looks much bigger from far away.
Stop - sink me near our time. Good 'hear-much-cold' pressed his God.
OUTRO
Size, it matters. Come and get me some surgery, I wanna look nice so I got a face, that I don't recognize, believe that I'm brand new inside.
Release the dogs, cos I can smell it a mile away, I want it dead today. I wanna hang - it's ass up in my house
I'M JUST A GOOSE A LITTLE BABY GOOSE

I want you to want more from me
I want you to be big
I need you to say the words for me
To speak what you think
Your coast is a lonely one
And I don't need shit
Brother, words are all I've got
You shot me down while I spoke
It's war, again, my friend, my friend
It's war, again, my friend
Throw your spear
Find your fearlessness
Wake up timeless year
Speak your heart sincerely with me
I'd take it all off and be
Naked, you'd hate it
You spit out my empathy
You kick me when I choke
I know you, I know you
And you tell me I don't
Brother, words are all I've got
You shot me down while I spoke
It's war, again, my friend, my friend
It's war, again, me friend
Throw your spear
Find your fearlessness
Wake up timeless year
Speak your heart sincerely with me
You've been in my fingers again
Them gaps were made for you
Them gaps were made for us
Now I feel it, now I know
You've been in my fingers again
Them gaps were made for you and I,
I'll let you in
I'll let you in

It's corrosive, it's actually meaningless
For the most part,
Boring the teeth off the beast,
It's got no heart, my hands are rakes to these
Conetemptuous leaves
There are no stars over Eastbourne -
Just bars and fakes and I mean it
Thank god I got this lasso,
This midnight metropolis monster monsoon
Of old scars, broke hearts and proud mistakes
When god gives you lemons, fucking make lemonade
Have faith my friend
We'll find something new
Despite tongues are forked I know,
And helmets are too thin
Don't be so weak
Grow into your skin
I'm just trying to be myself
The only way I know
AHH let's face it -
Wasted though he's sympathetic and ambitious
Gotta hand it to him
No superficial shit
But still stones and sticks
Impressively detached
He's all wax and no wick
And he draws swords
His cat claws
However abruptly or
Unprecedented
However much we hope without doubt
Without subtly knowing -
IF YOU GOT NO CROPS THEN YOU BETTER GET SOWING
Keep us at arm's length,
Please your fucking self
Just don't burn the bridge I cross
I'm not replacing it again
Fair play, you don't want empathy
That was my last mistake
My bad, have fun by yourself
The way you like it best
(Have faith my friend)
More armour more carpet more faith
(Have faith my friend)
Even if it's war again
(Don't be so weak)
BLAHBLAHMUMBLEMUMBLE patiently
(Don't be so weak)
A whipped back and a silent need
A riptide bareback appleseed, OH YEAH
Don't wait just do it (come on)
Hit me if you have the stones
I don't have time for your lack
And you don't wanna look at mine
Have faith my friend
(Take me away, take me away, it's true what you say)
We'll find something new
(Take me away, take me away)
Despite tongues are forked, I know
And helmets are too thin
Helmets are too thin
YEAH

(WHOOOOAAAAAA)
Put him in the tank I swear,
Sleepyhead
We're better off hanging there,
Kicked chair
SENSE IN A WAVE
WHISPERS ARE BREATHING
BACHELOR BRAVE / FALLING AWAY
I PREFER DREAMING
(WHOOOOAAAAAAAA)
So cup your hands,
I keep him cold,
Keep him there
Say it to him
HIGH ON ANTICIPATION
Fair with a whisper of why, and tongue in cheek
Jonah goes 'neath high seas
Watch him explode
I'm a pin I pulled I'll bet
It wasn't worry was it
Wasn't fear put back in me
Dug deep dug underneath
Listening to fallacy
While she was home
Senses whatever looks right to you
A bring me a jungle gym full of oars
WHAT,
is it me?
WHAT,
is it me?
WHY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME?
I SAID STAND UP
STAND STAND UP
BRO DON'T SHOUT
THEY'RE ESTRANGED
I SAID STAND UP
(CUS I'M A BONE)
STAND STAND UP
(CUS I'M A NOTE)
SAY, I BELIEVE
(CUS I'M A BREAK)
QUIETLY SINK BUMP
(STOMACH)
I'VE BEEN
(DISAPPEARING IN)
You don't know,
I'm like you
Say all the parts of me
Are just as quick and free
Sail the same seas but with a different name
Synchronised, I lay
Back released,
I WOULD SAY WORDS FOR WANT OF BETTER THINGS
Say, sleepyhead
Roll down your window
And let the breeze
Roll in,
Never put me on the shelf,
Sense against my cheek,
Restless
[Weezey:]
I shivered first, I shivered first
I shivered first when I look in your
Ice-given thirst
Mis-given mirth
I shivered first when I looked in your
Eyes
Simplified
[Wildi:]
Her holes in my hands
I found my faith
Sleepyhead
You're bashful purposefully
I bet he remembers
I'll take my rake
It's just the same but it's not familiar
It's not familiar
[Weezey:]
I'd only wear a tie
If you walked just right
I'd only wear a tie
If you walked just right
[Wildi:]
Her holes in my hands
I found my faith
Sleepyhead
You're bashful purposefully
I bet he remembers
I'll take my rake
You're bashful purposefully
I SHIVERED FIRST
As I saw you cry
I SHIVERED FIRST
As I saw you DISAPPEAR AGAIN

She scrapes God from the bag with her purlple fingernail and holds him undferneath my nose and i suck him in, there he talks in my skull as though he has alwaYS BEEN THERE. I AM A CAOIN IN MY JUKEBOX, OPUSH ME OUT, PULL ME THRIOUHG. WELL THE DEVIL IS IUN THE DEATILS, WE'VE ALL HEAR THE WARNING. GOD IS A CURSE AS WITH THE OPAQUE MORNING AND THE BKLUR. I AM A COIN IN MY PIUNBALL MACHINE. AND I WISH NOT TO MOVE ANYMORE. PUSH MY KEYS, PULL STRINGS, MY DAD TOLD ME THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO NOT DO A THING, THAT IS TO STOP/k I FEEL AS THOUHGH MY MACHINE IS A USER AND I WONT. FOR LACK OF AWANT FOr lack of ane end i wishrt god would be my frined.

No Romance
02:57
|

Lips chewed through,
Cheeks bust my empty room
The smell of her is almost gone
Laughter feigned,
Stuck underneath these veins
We're all the same in some ways
Sharp breaths
Vibrating on this old chalk edge,
Regretfully rolled up this boat's first sails
Throw stones in the sea,
Appleseed
You're the same to me
The view of her across my bed,
I'm asleep but somehow aware
She's in my fingers, and I'm awake there
I could tie hard a rope
Around these ribs dead weighed alone
And swing it to my guts until I broke
Patiently were this wreck to sail,
I might be blind but I could hold her til
I know she was likely perfect weight to still my scale
Appleseed, I was looking for you for years
Oh sugar, waste your worry, and be here
Oh, come back
Amble and sway
Timeless days
We're all the same in some ways
Choke I see
Appleseed
YOU'RE THE SAME TO ME
But I've been so trapped
You're in my fingers again
Them gaps were made for you
Them gaps were made for us
IT'S IN MY GUTS
IT'S IN MY SKIN
IT'S IN MY MOUTH
I AIN'T NEVER GONNA SPIT IT OUT
I WILL BRING YOU BACK

Vacuous ends, be a tide for... Be adrift, in this couple of days, hours. Hence fire across my lungs, contours across cheeks, and whence came submission and thus relief.
Give in, don't worry and waste the time, feel it go. I'm not - taking a chance, seeing a light, watching you lick your finger... from across the room. Move slow, I would would block the light till you bring the shadow in close, tongue in ear.
For a cause - I wish, these cheap symbols will translate that feeling I get - you know.
I would say words for want of better things.
