Fine
Sell your soul
Take your toll
Set your goal
Dig your
Dig your
Dig your
Hole
Never had a chance
Didn’t want to lead
We could not be free
When you sold all we had
Why sell your soul
Give it all
Let it fall
Leave no
Leave no
Leave no
Trace
Never had a chance
Didn’t want to lead
We could not be free
When you sold all we had
You sold out our living space
Refused to lead or regulate
Your sins cloaked in uniform
Watch your country chloroformed
Senile empire see your lies
Leave you to the crocodiles
Lies!

Salvage
05:44

You feel like giving in,
Cos you’ve got nothing left to give
But you still own what you have
You owe nothing to your god
You don’t need
To pass it on
You won’t get
To pass the blame
He won’t save you
When the truth hits
But it makes a good song
I don't have the right
To tell someone
Not to hope
For something more
Cling to belief,
Supernatural
Just cos I
Don't believe
That anyone
Can still believe
I’ve clung to less, like a child
I’ve clung to less, like a child
Like a child, we’re all afraid
Like a child, we're all afraid
See what’s left to salvage
Take another into the flock
Please try to sympathise
When I can’t empathise
We need to go inside
You don’t need
To pass it on
You won’t get
To pass the blame
He won’t save you
When the truth hits,
But it makes a good song
I don’t have the right
To tell anyone
Not to hope
For something more,
Cling to belief,
Supernatural
Just cos I
Can’t believe
That anyone
Can still believe
I’ve clung to less, like a child
I’ve clung to less, like a child
Like a child we’re all afraid like a child
Like a child we’re all afraid like a child
Who paints the sunset sky in watercolours?
It took a million years to do
Who gave your god- given smile to you
It was the joy you found inside

Path of Least Resistance
04:04

Old enough to know, dumb enough to go
Off at the deep end when you’re trying to force an ending
What I pretend to hate the most, taking the easy road
I’m hardly there because I’m trying to find an exit
You take the easy road I'll take the heavy load
Only reason must be desperate for your attention
The thing I hate the most
At least make sure you can
Make it harder than you need
Why do I have to do this, totally without exception?
The current shows the way
They know just what to say
Everyone seems to know the door that leads to easy answers
It's what I need the most
You’ve been here before
But you never learn
to find your way
Give me one more try
Chance to try and find
The path that seems so easy
Self-sabotage, my epitaph

Toast

As I write these words, you’re trying to cope upstairs
Stole a couple of hours, just to make some noise
While you were just trying
To keep the peace
Selfish as ever, me
just desperate to create
And I might
Have sold a line
What I can bring to you
It might sound
Like self-pity
But it’s true
Sometimes
Its all that i
Can bring to you
It might sound
Like a whine
But it's true
I could just be there,
Why do I have to fix it all?
Say everything’s OK,
I’d probably break something
I have these arms,
These hands, too big, too hot
Must be good for something
And I might
Have sold a line
what I can bring to you
It might sound
Like self-pity
But it’s true
Sometimes
Its all that I
Can bring to you
Here's a toast to you and I
But mostly you
