Ditty 02:57
Sing a ditty, sing a rhyme Sing a song that breathes life into your whole mind Shouldn't matter, shouldn't mean Making it. It isn't what it's supposed to be Just get out and have some fun Quit the pressure of yourself Remove your mind, remove your head from what you make Stand up and dance around in your bedroom Let your feelings levitate Na na nas and a ooh wee oohs Making it. It isn't what you're supposed to do Sing it long and sing it loud It isn't supposed to please the whole crowd Just get out and have some fun Quit the pressure of yourself Remove your mind, remove your head from what you make Stand up and dance around in your bedroom Let your feelings levitate

Punishment 03:16
Supporting the system that supported me, all the while I was 23. Waiting for something that could never be, waiting for something never meant for me. Sometimes it hits me like a punishment. All of my memories are a punishment. Everyone hates me and I hate me too. Everything scares me and I'm sad it's true.

All The Time 02:39
Turn round Never know what’s next I gotta get me something I can relate I feel trapped Never getting out There’s something beautiful in the mundane And I work at it all the time And I forget it all the time Sit Down Wear yourself right out The slow erosion that will bury you whole I get drunk Stay out every night Anaesthetise the mind to lessen your goals And I work at it all the time And I forget it all the time

Fire 04:03
There's a fire around you, there's a fire inside me. If you don't come back soon, all will be consumed.
5.
I Don't Know 03:08
No, I just can't shake this This feeling of pure emptiness Is this a test? I'm not stressed, I'm not happy There's nothing inside I can't reveal what I feel There's no point now What is real? I feel like I don't know which way I need to go I always knew that I had something that my heart and mind would show I never felt so lost I'm sure my heart in time will let it go I'm just afraid that you're the only one who knows Nothing can prepare you For the purgatory and the dark Still the spark This shit just don't switch off This shit just don't switch off overnight It's not right It don't fade out Overnight I feel like I don't know which way I need to go I always knew that I had something that my heart and mind would show I never felt so lost I'm sure my heart in time will let it go I'm just afraid that you're the only one who knows

Cool 02:40
I used to look up to your cool I used to feel like such a fool I would do anything To do what you do and be just like that Your clothes, your style, your Rock'n'Roll Hair Now it's almost too much to bear Back then all I could see Was the cool scene that you put before me Now I know that you never knew at all Now I know that you weren't so fucking tall I used to wonder every day I wondered how to be that way The thought of being just like you Was all that I could hang on to Now when I see your type around Posing, just waiting to be found I laugh and realise what A game you play and that you're full of...shit Now I know that you never knew at all Now I know that you weren't so fucking tall
