Verse:
You’re sinking in, you’re spreading thin
Feeling the strain of it
A picture frame, it feels the same
As when you fell right in
A memory of something sweet has its own gravity
A memory, a shaded tree brings you some sanity
Chorus:
I’m gone again, a sweet and sour refrain
Trade now for then, a bittersweet canopy
Verse 2:
Another place, another time, another state of mind
I’ll wander through, a time with you when all our cares were free
Lie in the park just after dark, a blanket on the green
A pink flamingo on the sea, snow globes and fantasy
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Sinking through the pages you're going back in time
Thinking through the ages you're looking for a sign
We’ll find the time
Reverse the line
Back of your mind
That’s paradise
Repeat Chorus x2

Lucky 33
03:20
|
|||
|
Verse:
Feeling stuck in water
Finding nowhere to falter
You’re driving circles round the door to the other side
Now you’re wanting to hide, try to get off this ride
Chorus:
It’s just you and me in lucky 33s
Taking our time and ...ing Finally
You’ve got your plans and I’ve got ducks all lined in a row
Now it’s time that we go, time to put on a show
Verse 2:
In an ocean of laughing madness
Try to listen for sounds of gladness
You look for exits down the road, but there’s nowhere to go
Gotta make your own flow, be the rose that grows
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
When the ones who win always holler
Do you follow the thought or dollar
You’ve got your ticket in your pocket but you already know
Keep your light on below, so you light up the show
Repeat Chorus

Bee Line

|
Verse:
Honeysuckle and the rose
Map the way you wander home
Though the wind and rain may blow
Dancing in the afterglow
Chorus:
Honeybee come dance for me
Follow me through the trees
Your honey’s meant for me
Honey bee your secret’s safe with me
Verse 2:
Through the smoke and honey comb
Six by six and room to grow
Nectar spun to share the throne
Save the queen and sing them low
Chorus repeat
Bridge:
Draw the line and climb inside
Those wings and honeyed things are hiding 3 by 3
Mind the hive, fly by
Chorus repeat x2

Pins and Needles
04:29
|
|||
|
Verse:
Step back from the ledge for a minute, Drop the self-inflicted haze for a while
You’ve wrapped your arms around a cactus so you can feel it, Now only time is on your side
Don’t look back upon the shark in the water, The sky is clear and smelling fear is just habit
You’ve got better things to do than tracking fins and flippers, Pack up your sail and float away
Chorus:
You know the way you’re falling through is just a window pane or two
You always wondered why the blue skies fade away and change their tune
Verse 2:
No one ever said that this would be a picnic, And if they did, well then they’re full of shit, OK
So take your sandwiches and wrap them up in plastic, The ants are already on their way
Chorus repeat
Bridge:
But only the light will lift you time out of mind, If you try you’ll leave the weight behind

Foam Carpet
05:29
|
|||
|
Verse:
Can you find the socket
Lightening stored in a bottle rocket
Can you break a promise
Tell yourself that it’s all in process
Can you sort the pieces
Smooth away all the messy creases
A game of lost and finally found
Build it up just to break it down*
Chorus:
And though we’re all drawn to the flame
gaze out the window just the same
We find ourselves treading in place
And we might have to play the game
Grin and bear it just the same
We find ourselves running in place
Verse 2:
Chase your friendly light bulb
Hide and seek when the night is dull
Is it brains or faeries
That make it all so extraordinary
Will you walk the carpet
Take your plan down to market
Cursive on the paper
Save your doubts up for later*
Repeat Chorus

Arbitrary Buffalo
03:01
|
|||
|
Verse:
Your words were cutting from the start,
A wing and a prayer and a self destructing heart,
You thought you could hold it all,
Never apologize before they take the fall,
Chorus:
You’re like a bull in a china shop
Never thinking and unable to stop
A buffalo all that he can do is roam
Charging to and fro knocking all the dishes on the floor
Verse 2:
Unsettling needs and poison seeds,
Never works out quite like how to planned,
There’s no one left to set against each other,
When you finally find yourself alone,
Chorus repeat x2

Drunky Funk
03:53
|
|||
|
Verse:
You’re havin a day
No one to pick you up from
Your place in fray
No time for rhyme or reason
You can’t complain
Oh but you wish you could now
It’s all the same
Find a way to fix this somehow
Chorus lead vocals:
Sometimes you’re backed up against a wall
Sometimes you’re made to take the fall
Don’t let the bastards get you down
Have a seat and pick your poison Have a drink and settle down
Chorus Backing vocals:
Now now unfurrow that brow
Forget your troubles somehow
Next round’ll fix up your mind
One more and you’ll be just fine
Verse 2:
The higher the stakes
The more your mind goes reeling
It’s clear if you stay
Things are looking not so appealing
You’re feeling the weight
Can’t drop the plates you’re spinning
But what if you say
These are yours and now I’m leaving
