Affluenza Flu

Part of me
But circumspect to earn respect so come and see
Strong indeed
Welcome to my point of view soon you'll be free
Take the easy way
Comfort is your deity and how much are you paying me to
Keep the lid
Stuck and left to be ignored
Drink your drink resume the wars
Every time you turn on the screen
Images of adverse misery
What now can you find
Drink subdue your mind
Drink subdue your mind
Now your mine
Looking sharp
Yes the suit it might be new, you paid them they'll whip slaves for you
Torn apart
Do you friends now really care with all the seeking that you share
Time to tune
Your ears have become immune to block things that don't help you
Its to hard
Your money must be spent on you the death toll affluenza flu
Would you dance around
The monkey's tree tonight
Every time you turn on the screen
Images of adverse misery
What now can you find
Drink subdue your mind
Drink subdue your mind
Now your mine

Crown to take you down
and i am there
too watch you fall
made away with tears
well use your ears
you wont have all
shame il take the blame
until you see
what you destroy
Status pretend to hate us
what you want
is to escape
Fear run aground
Dear the madame sound
when all that you know will hunt you
all that you know will hunt you
all that you know will hunt you
Down
Cause i know
youll be free
imprison me
Prison in a schism
watching shapes go by
playing with a stone
until your blood runs dry
Loud things thats surrounding
is your fault you know
I know what im feeling
yours is just for show
Fear run aground
Dear the madame sound
when all that you know will hunt you
all that you know will hunt you
all that you know will hunt you
Down
Cause i know
youll be free
imprison me

Expire The Fire
03:37
|

|
I want to be the one that you know
Sitting beside the window
take a look outside me
do you wanna find me
running fast i couldnt stop
we got to the point at the table top
i professed to you
i digress the truth
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
dance around me
its all profound
see
the fire rise to expire
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
dance around me
its all profound
see
the fire rise to expire
my dreams
You came upstairs to find me hidden
under the impression it was forbidden
you wanted words
instead it hurts
I try so hard not to relinquish
the thing i feel might be extinguished
If i become a fool
then so i shall
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
dance around me
its all profound
see
the fire rise to expire
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
dance around me
its all profound
see
the fire rise to expire
my dreams
Its all a dream you see
the visions they give me decisions
on what to do
this other world you see
does not make me partial
so i pick up my guitar
and carry on

What Is It All For?
03:57
|
|||
|
What did I do today?
My Feelings have gone away
To lead me astray
Where is it that I went?
I feel like my time is spent
Chasing a thought
This place isn't a prison
But I'm not free
I had a dangerous vision of reality
Oh think of the time I spent
Where is it that it went?
What was it for?
Oh think of the time I spent
Where is it that it went?
What was it for?
The people I think I see
Do they think much of me
I must find the key
Things I wish I could change
Things that make me deranged
What could I be?
I'm looking out the window
The world goes on by
I'm still in the same place
And I wonder why
Oh think of the time I spent
Where is it that it went?
What was it for?
Oh think of the time I spent
Where is it that it went?
What was it for?
I think about it everyday
When will it go away
Away
When did it go away
Oh think of the time I spent
Where is it that it went?
What was it for?
What was it for?
What was it for?
What was it for?
What was it for?

What can I do?
again I fell for you
should I smile or look upset
I wouldn't guess
and would it be true
to proclaim i'm a fool
pick a card and don't make it hard
like the rest, I wouldn't guess
And you didn't love me back
I just wanted to dance
while I knock back the chance of romance
and I cant leave this set dry
unravel the mystery
look past the periphery
my past isn't clear
but its not blurred
and you cant love me back
you cant love me back
so ill just walk on by
hang my head past the sky
ill jump in the deep and
il get me some sleep
just for a while
You cant love me
You cant love me
how can you love me ?
I don't even love myself
Though I must admit
I quite like myself a bit

In The Dark
04:48
|
|||
|
An unpreceded array of feeling begin to fallow me
I really don't know why but its not how I intend to be
I'm holding on to the day that I feel fine
Don't give up I need the time
An unpredicted array of feelings begin to swallow me
and I don't know why but its not how I intend to be
I'm holding on to the day that I feel fine
but don't give up I just need a little bit of time
to sort out my mind
And the secrets we love most
are best kept in the dark
kept from all the pain
the secrets we love most are best kept in the dark
Kept in the dark
Kept in the dark
Four years later these feelings sometimes swallow me
and love nor money or any drugs will hold the key
were all holding on to the day that were fine
it never comes but that's alright
And the secrets we love most
are best kept in the dark
kept from all the pain
the secrets we love most are best kept in the dark
Kept in the dark
Kept in the dark
the secrets we love most are best kept in the dark
Kept in the dark
the secrets we love most are best kept in the dark
Kept in the dark

Distorted Dreams
03:49
|
|||
|
Spending every second checking fact
every trick what's in the book starts to make me cracked
I could feel distorted dreams retract
Oh I was so wrong
Never was I wrong
In times of need I grabbed myself your thoughts
erased the parts I don't enjoy of sorts
suddenly distorted dreams retort
I could see the truth
im better off with proof
to strong in addiction
erase my conviction
a poem to cry you to sleep at night
prophetic prediction
you made your affliction
a song that I wrote you to wake you up
recollect you cant detect
the pain you made me feel
innocent initially
the ill will starts to peel
I became your lackey fool
wear it like a useless jewel
I had a dream last night and you were there
You whipped a tree and then kissed me
and I became I bear
but I couldn't fend for my cubs
you were hidden in the shrubs
you didn't help me
you didn't help me
In the car lot I lost my hair
I saw a bear called Paddington he didn't care
for my éclair so I fed it to him
and he took it and he ate it
threw it up in the bin

Flashes
05:53
|
|||
|
Flashes of my trapped old self now begin to call
Lashes at my inner meltdown I start to fall
love it only works right when your completely mad
nothing ever helped me nothing stopped me being sad
been addicted to watching smoke
gasping through my face
a silent unfamiliar joke
its never out of place
every time you cry
everywhere they die
but im waiting in the wings
never want to fall
echoes stand so tall
but im waiting in your wings
Cracking useless codes to help me unlock my fear
practising a tranquil mantra to drink my tear
elevate me to the status of a god
im already there but fucked me for my ways im lost
every time you cry
everywhere they die
but im waiting in the wings
never want to fall
echoes stand so tall
but im waiting in your wings
oh yeah
cause im not the only one who cares

The Boy From Year Ago
03:53
|
|||
|
Oh cant you see
the process what's in tune so soon for me
Live so differently
Yet you feel the need to spit on me
it isn't quite time
Boy from year ago
has grown to hate what's shown when he's alone
Leave this cruel town
markets, clothes shops, cafes close them down
but still im there
oh yeah
close it down today
the womans gone away today

Vision Obscured
03:07
|
|||
|
Shadow shapes begin to tesselate
on dimly lit walls
The essence that your surely create
will not be present when I fall
every time that I gets so close
I feel the looming dread
could be better if I was a ghost
and I will haunt you instead
what is desire
an object to acquire
then will expire
my vision was obscured by the haze that you create
in the day and in the night
we seem to talk too much
but in-between I want to fight
a feeling of remorse as such
you could be the instigator
of a parade for me and you would find
I would want to see you later
but you retreat to the sanctuary in your mind
what is desire
an object to acquire
then will expire
my vision was obscured by the haze that you create
what is desire
an object to acquire
then will expire
my vision was obscured by the haze that you create
my vision was obscured by the haze that you create
you created
is it time we went
is it time we went
tessellation across the nation
time we went
time we went

Feel The Love
04:19
|
|||
|
I feel the love
feel it
running away from me
running away from me
running away till its found
I felt that touch
use it
coming away from me
coming away from
coming away when im down
Pretty colours on your face
ever time im there
you could hate me in that way
every time im there
I took that pear
feel it
pulsing inside me
emotions beside me
im touching the nose of a bear
my dog went blind
chased its
tail in circles
the concept was hurtful
I gave it some milk to be kind
Pretty colours on your face
ever time im there
you could hate me in that way
every time im there
Most of the people I know
I don't like at all
except for the ones that I do
yeah
my black trench coat is on my back
