Accepting The Universe 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Worried? We should be worried We should be terrified about the mental health of our children in the very near future Irresponsible role models and broadcasters Fake tan, fake lips, fake humans famous for nothing at all Feeding us with unattainable ideals and self conscious thoughts from which there is no escape Constant feelings of envy and destructive pressure from social media feeds coupled with the blatant inactivity of our governments to find a healthy solution to the devastating impact on their lives Accepting the universe Feeding us with self conscious thoughts from which there is no escape People reaching for phones to make videos instead of helping someone dying on the street That behaviour displays a severe lack of moral restraint Feel like this, look like that, click here, buy that You will feel GREAT, for a moment WE will tell you when you need something else (you need it, you need it now, don't you) You don't think it, but we own you now A sort of lack of moral restraint. Money I must have to live, further than that its a pitiful waste of time to obtain wealth at the price of all that counts Irresponsible role models feeding us with self conscious thoughts from which there is NO ESCAPE

Just sit back and let it go It's as easy as it seems And everything you thought you'd keep, will go And everything you thought you'd keep, will go Can you really be so sure Though its harder to leave It's not always what you think, you know It's not always what you think, you know Make me an offer, I can't refuse And when I get out don't cut me loose Make me an offer, I can't refuse And when I get out don't cut me loose Now you look at something else Alcoholic memories Of everything you thought would never go There's everything you thought would never go Make me an offer, I can't refuse And when I get out don't cut me loose Make me an offer, I can't refuse And when I get out don't cut me loose Don't cut me loose Don't cut me Don't cut me Don't cut me loose

You are to me Like a sunlit vampire You were made to be Like a burning wildfire Brighter than the sun In a cloudless skyline As we were born to run But we're caught in a riptide Cos you have always been My beautiful lifeline Cos you are to me You're a burning wildfire You are a burning wildfire You are a burning wildfire And I will try to be the one And I, I'll be there when you need it You are a burning wildfire You are a burning wildfire We are burning wildfires You try to hide Your hurt on the inside Across the great divide I'm caught on the blind side You will always be A once in a lifetime Cos you are to me You're a burning wildfire You are a burning wildfire You are a burning wildfire And I will try to be the one And I, I'll be there when you need it You are a burning wildfire You are a burning wildfire We are burning wildfires

Rollercoaster 03:53

Rollercoaster overhead Meant to forget the things you said The long path to the beach I walk there when you're out of reach Twelth avenue mailbox is empty again But then you've got enough friends And as we sit on the hot sand and I know you don't wanna hold my hand It's not worked out the way I planned Over my head I think about The last time I called and you weren't home Over my head I think about She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado I've never felt the air so hot Than being somewhere you're not And as we drive in the burning sun I know for sure that you're the one Over my head I think about The last time I called and you weren't home Over my head I think about She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado Over my head I think about The last time I called and you weren't home Over my head I think about She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado

You pay as you go And hope no-one asks you If they could know The secrets you hide Behind your eyes They'll never know Now you're in control It keeps you in mind of it all And if they could know You take them on when you go on They'll never know They'll never know They'll never know So now you've got it, you keep it, all inside And when you got it, you let it, kill your pride Cos when you go out, you lose it, and then you'll smile Cos you know you've been wasting your life Yeah you know you've been wasting your life Yeah you know you've been wasting your life Yeah you know you've been wasting your life Yeah you know you've been wasting your life

Won't you tell me What it is you want to know I've looked so hard for something to show But I've never seen something like this It's like a movie or a picture not a real kiss And I can't help you Cos I don't know just what its like It wasn't complicated for me You just do what you like If its gonna happen Please don't get it wrong this time If you're gonna make it happen Take your own advice not mine We know you love her But its the hardest thing you'll ever have to do So get on home from work And go out into town And dance like there's no-one else around So won't you tell me What it is you want to know I've looked so hard for something to show But I've never seen something like this It's like a movie or a picture not a real kiss We know you love her But its the hardest thing you'll ever have to do So get on home from work And go out into town And dance like there's no-one else around

I Look Into Your Eyes 04:07
lyrics

I look into you're eyes To see if you're still there A telephone call of three thousand miles And so little to share My eyes are open as you fall asleep And there is everything I want I fall behind your quickening footsteps You hate it and I forgot Down the driveway its the same thing every morning I never had so much fun To sit and stare at the cold and lonely ocean When you come back you'll still be gone And all this sun, and all this time I'm gonna be the last to find out All this sun and all this time I knew I'd be the last to find out All this sun and all this time I knew then, I'd miss you I look into your eyes To see if I'll ever forget The blue reflection in an amber sky And nothing left but regret

Drive Away 04:06

It won't go away I can see it in your eyes It's hard to say But harder to disguise Comes in the night It comes in the daytime It's hard to see But harder to fight And you can't sleep And you can't be alive It cuts so deep But you can't drive away from this one Gets harder every day I don't know if you know where we went wrong Or if you can say And time falls hard The morning comes too soon All your cards Are used up by afternoon And you can't sleep And you can't be alive It cuts so deep But you can't drive away from this one Gets harder every day I don't know if you know where we went wrong Or if you can say You can't drive away from this one Gets harder every day I don't know if you know where we went wrong Or if you can say You can't drive away from this one Gets harder every day I don't know if you know where we went wrong Or if you can say

Heart Stops 04:51

So much that I can't say to you My voice shakes from the hurt I hide You know its true I got my style gonna throw it away Gonna leave it all behind It doesn't matter to me what you say It doesn't matter to me what you say So much that I can't say to you My voice breaks from the hurt I hide You know its true And everyone says its gonna be fine But all I can see is a big black fog That I can't see through I can't see through And my heart stops when I see The way you smile when you look my way In seven years people get so bored But I love you more with every day Its easy to leave and you can take the first chance that comes your way But I know that you believe And that you'll stay And my heart stops when I see The way you smile when you look my way In seven years people get so bored But I love you more with every day Its easy to leave and you can take the first chance that comes your way But I know that you believe And that you'll stay

To See You Smile 05:03

I cannot see the light I cannot see the light in your eyes I thought I recognised The faintest of hope on your side I know you won't be there But I'd love to see you smile You put up quite a fight While I was hiding the fear in my eyes Your heart was so alive And there you were your sister by your side Well my love for you will never end And I know that you won't be there But I'd love to see you smile And I'd love to see you smile And I'd love to see you smile And I'd love to see you smile I know you're in my heart (how am I supposed to live this way) I know you're there but I can't see that far (It's been so long since you went away) (How am I supposed to ever see you smile) (Its been so long since the day you died) I know you're by my side (how am I supposed to live this way) I know you're there no reason left to hide (It's been so long since you went away) (How am I supposed to ever see you smile) (Its been so long since the day you died) Oh my love for you will never end And I'd love to see you smile
