Waking Up 02:48
Did I have things all worked out, I guess I'll always wonder Were my feet under the table, was the rug pulled under And I'll cling to what they say, about a silver lining But it doesn't make the days of silence any less tiring Waiting for a plan to appear, walk in circles going nowhere Waking up, it ain't getting easy When there's nothing much worth waking up for And I'll try to understand, I haven't lost all hope and They say when one door closes, then another door opens Am I just killing time, or is time just killing me What am I gonna be Waking up, it ain't getting easy When there's nothing left worth waking up for

Sinking Ship 02:33
Thought you'd be sheltered from the storm but it didn't work out Thought you could stay here safe and warm now it's time to bail out Well you can hold on if you want, I'm getting out of here Now the waves are rising and those rats have got the right idea Gotta get out, this place is a sinking ship Keep telling yourself it'll be ok cos the water keeps rising anyway It's a sinking ship and it's going down today You watched the others with a grin as they all went under But now the storm is closing in, can you hear can you hear can you hear the thunder So what's the matter did that smart remark stick in your throat Things are getting serious now we're all stuck in the same boat You watched so many of us drown in your own time Now you're asking us to throw you a lifeline
3.
You're seeing things in a different light When you're snared on the teeth of the poverty trap The hardest thing to do is to do what's right And never look down and never look back I've been right, I've been wrong It feels like I'm dancing to a different song It won't take me that long It feels like I'm dancing to a different song Every penny is a journey heading to a pound Every day I'm feeling poorer when you're not around I find it hard to put these feelings and these words on show I don't know if I told you but I hope you know
4.
What You See 02:56
Some things are better left unsaid I'll try to make it less complicated I'm not saying I wish that you were dead But this world would be a better place without you here And I'll find pleasure when you grow old and die alone It's all that you deserve What you see ain't always what you get The only thing in your life is your job Don't think about the empty nights, don't think about the mates you lost
5.
Ricochet 02:09
Been walking right into oblivion Been wondering where all of these years have gone Been incinerating bridges now there's nothing left to burn But I've tried my best to understand the things I had to learn Ricochet, we hope for a ricochet We dream of things that just might pull us through Did things work out the way you really wanted to Ricochet, we hope for a ricochet Been incinerating bridges now there's nothing left to burn But I've tried my best to understand the things I had to learn

Highfield 01:20
7.
They say pride it comes before a fall, there's no sympathy from us at all Did they stitch you up hang you out to dry, well now it's you they'll crucify Another Sunday expose, you're still preaching to the choir Like the headlines used to say, there's no smoke without a fire Is freedom as good as it looks, from the front of the paper I hope you like the irony, do you feel the same about privacy Now you're living in the public eye, your every word is amplified
8.
Sometimes joy and sometimes pain, there's sometimes sun but mostly rain From birth to death we accept it's they way it goes You can't defect and you can't choose, you sometimes win but mostly lose This ear is glued to this transistor radio The black, the green White light shines inbetween It takes me to a place I used to know and love They were yesterday's heroes, but the fire's still burning bright tonight, allright Through decades memory starts to fade, we moved into a modern age These parasites are rewriting history
9.
We surround ourselves with hearts and minds that have faith in There comes a point in time when we decide if this judgements misplaced And if you wanted to be here, then I'd rather be alone You find out who your mates are when you're ready to fall We all need a hand from time to time when we've got problems When so called mates draw a line in the sand it's time to drop them
10.
Seasick and you're never gonna change it, is today the day to start again I lack the education to explain it, I know where just tell me when And in this world you're the only one that's right It's all I know tonight Take it or leave it When you walk with the step of a victim, then a victims all that you'll become Realise that they're never gonna listen, and your first battles already won And in this world you're the only one that's right It's all I need tonight Out on a limb today, transfix or turn away The blackest night precedes the brightest day
11.
It's Over 02:25
We feel our best days are yet to come Yet we'll live lives feeling lonely Don't feel like waking up It's over before it's begun Tonight pinpricks in night curtain shine bright We're drops in this ocean Just wait and see, we're trying to believe But we live in mediocrity
12.
The words they form but they stall in my throat I'm trying my best to stay afloat I swear my intentions not to deceive Are these moments all we have or are these moments all we need If we stay silent and there's no motion They would not hear a thing I left this heart, under the ocean I buried these words, under the sea The city she gives me, love and devotion She sets me free It took me more than a while to believe That I'm lucky to have been given this disease Over time I saw it as a gift Woven with the innate power to enrich I've spent years perfecting this lack of emotion They would not feel a thing
