Paper Plane 03:18
Feeling bitter as I slowly come undone Like a cigarette that burns upon my tongue The radio’s playing but it doesn’t make a sound I think I’m dreaming because head’s stuck in the clouds Wrap me with complexities I’m not the man I used to be Watch the rain fall down on me tonight, tonight Wearing thin like cellophane I’m crashing like a paper plane The curtains closing fast on me tonight, tonight Bad decisions they will always haunt my mind I'm feeling guilty and the nerves shape up my spine I wish I didn’t and I want to pull the plug I know I’m dreaming and I wish I could wake up Wrap me with complexities I’m not the man I used to be Watch the rain fall down on me tonight, tonight Wearing thin like cellophane I’m crashing like a paper plane The curtains closing fast on me tonight, tonight I know I know the choice is made I know there is a price to pay I wish that I could stop and pull the plug I know know the choice is made I know that I am not the same I wish that I could stop and just wake up Wrap me with complexities I’m not the man I used to be Watch the rain fall down on me tonight, tonight Wearing thin like cellophane I’m crashing like a paper plane The curtains closing fast on me tonight, tonight

Gun In Hand 02:57
The city's sleeping but the streets wake up at night No indication not a word from you tonight I'm losing patience like a dog without a bone Constantly waiting agitation overflows Do the best you can when you're smiling back at me With your gun in hand pull the trigger I can't see No need to contemplate it, The thrill is slowly fading Do the best you can when you're smiling back at me The weeks keep dragging and the days they go by slow Like a London summer you're so hot but then you're cold So sick of waiting don't you make me beg and plead But still I'm yearning and I'm falling to my knees Do the best you can when you're smiling back at me With your gun in hand pull the trigger I can't see No need to contemplate it, The thrill is slowly fading Do the best you can when you're smiling back at me Do the best you can, with your gun in hand Do the best you can, with your gun in hand

Clouds 03:33
Take a walk, hold my hand and you'll see the other side When you open your eyes you will see that it's quite alright Don't believe any word of what other people say Their reflection reveals they are wrong and they are nothing but the same When the sky comes falling down I'll be sure to stick around Forget the past for here and now And float with me into the clouds This is real this is love and we make our great escape I'm aware and you know this is true and there is no mistake Don't believe any word of what other people say Their reflection reveals they are wrong and they are nothing but the same When the sky comes falling down I'll be sure to stick around Forget the past for here and now And float with me into the clouds

Underground 04:09
The ashtray's full and overflows, it get's oh so crazy In 2 more hours can we go home? Say yes or no not maybe My weary eyes they're growing tired, always in a cycle Not getting answers for the thousandth time Stitched up on Thursday in time for Friday Could be the day when everything will fall apart Fading on Saturday wake up on Sunday In many ways this looks like it could be the start It seems we're falling down not for the first time We're going underground not for the last time We spin around like fireflies, always in a hurry Wounds on display enjoy the show, scars always tell the story The hours late but I'm so wired, in a constant cycle So where's the answer for the thousandth time? Stitched up on Thursday in time for Friday Could be the day when everything will fall apart Fading on Saturday wake up on Sunday In many ways this looks like it could be the start It seems we're falling down not for the first time We're going underground not for the last time It seems we're falling down not for the first time We're going underground not for the last time

Vacant Scene 03:48
I can't sleep so I'll turn on the news Same stuff but beggars cannot choose Flashback to 1999 where everything appeared just fine Employment could you come by soon No purpose makes one sing the blues Still lazy as the days go by I guess I'll smoke to pass the time To pass the time I'm still unsure of what it means And I'm calling for lights to hit the vacant scene In search for things to fill the void Because I'm 23 and I'm still unemployed No sleep and nothings on the news I guess that I can never choose Flashback to 1999 where everything seemed quite alright No options have come to my door 6 months and I'm still keeping score Still lying here as days go by I guess more cigarettes from 9 to 5 From 9 to 5 I'm still unsure of what it means And I'm calling for lights to hit the vacant scene In search for things to fill the void Because I'm 23 and I'm still unemployed I'm still unsure of what it means And I'm calling for lights to hit the vacant scene In search for things to fill the void Because I'm 23 and I'm still unemployed

Fixation 04:53
I swear it's just like the first time Just like the last time just at the wrong time I've never felt like I've felt now I don't recall how always get let down I'm floating in my fixation Great expectation full hesitation I beg you kill my affliction, be my prescription feed my addiction Please don't take me home Leave me here I'll be alright I don't want to face the light Place me here I'll be just fine What an attractive suggestion Twisted affection tainted perfection Breakdown my mind and emotions Sink through the ocean show no devotion I'm floating in my fixation Great expectation full hesitation I beg you kill my affliction, be my prescription feed my addiction Please don't take me home Leave me here I'll be alright I don't want to face the light Place me here I'll be just fine Please don't take me home Leave me here I'll be alright I don't want to face the light Place me here I'll be just fine

I just don't have a clue she said she needs some time to think She she left me feeling blue she had no idea that I'm in love My baby's nowhere near 'cause she is gone The cruelest dream I've ever dreamed Nights are so empty since she's gone away Clouds choke the blue skies so days turn to grey Two hearts grow distant as one goes astray With nothing to hold I guess I can't comply with everything surrounding me She left me high and dry she had no idea that I'm in love My baby's nowhere near 'cause she is gone The strangest thing I've ever seen Nights are so empty since she's gone away Clouds choke the blue skies so days turn to grey Two hearts grow distant as one goes astray With nothing to hold I just don't have a clue with everything surrounding me She she left me feeling blue she had no idea that I'm in love My baby's nowhere near 'cause she is gone The cruelest dream I've ever dreamed Nights are so empty since she's gone away Clouds choke the blue skies so days turn to grey Two hearts grow distant as one goes astray With nothing to hold at least that's what I'm told

Feeling sick feeling low feeling insecure Have a smoke feed the fix maybe something more Hold the key but you can’t seem to find the door Another drink and you’ll fall down on the floor Secondhand Madison, Who knows where the hell you’ve been You still search for a home, A little place you call your own Nights run slow in this spell, Still stuck in your private hell Break free or drown within, Nows the chance to sink or swim Seem so sure but unsure and your heart is torn Still you search for a rose in a field of thorns Kiss a bottle take a sip and your mind is worn Maybe one maybe two or maybe three or four So back it up and start again Until you cannot comprehend ‘Cause the ladders tall and you can’t seem to climb Secondhand Madison, Who knows where the hell you’ve been You stills earch for a home, A little place you call your own Nights run slow in this spell, Still stuck in your private hell Break free or drown within, Nows the chance to sink or swim Feeling sick feeling low feeling insecure Still you search for a rose in a field of thorns Secondhand Madison, Who knows where the hell you’ve been You still search for a home, A little place you call your own Nights run slow in this spell, Still stuck in your private hell Break free or drown within, Nows the chance to sink or swim

Pick up the pieces fixing puzzles but I don't feel out of place From top to bottom seems that I fell down but I keep up the pace Headaches and heartbreak are just obstacles that try to block the way It soon gets better and the time helps heal at least that what they say Soon I will write to you another note because it's been so long Those piercing eyes you have are beautiful just like my favorite song The broken record's quickly on the mend and gaining back the tune And maybe someday I'll see you Where do I end up I don't know Another journey's somewhere I will go A rollercoaster ride is what I'll do And with me I take every memory too Pick up the pieces and the photographs which I still carry through Look at the picture and I read the note yes I still miss you too 4000 miles is the space between a distance set so far And still I wonder where you are Where do I end up I don't know Another journey's somewhere I will go A rollercoaster ride is what I'll do And with me I take every memory too Pick up the pieces fixing puzzles but I don't feel out of place From top to bottom seems that I fell down but I keep up the pace Headaches and heartbreak are just obstacles that try to block the way It soon gets better that's what they say

Sea Of Gold 04:27
Words fade away as arms start to fold She said lets get lost in this sea of gold Waves climb so high to drop to the floor Lights from the roof glows on the shore Cold November, Oh so tantalising Rain drops flicker, Eyes so mesmerising Breath goes astray as lips start to lock Clouds fill the sky in this field of frost One touch sends shivers down my spine Just one more kiss and my nerves untwine Cold November, Oh so tantalising Rain drops flicker, Eyes so mesmerising Cold November, Oh so tantalising Rain drops flicker, Eyes so mesmerising Cold November, Oh so tantalizing Rain drops flicker, Eyes so mesmerising
