Ceiling

Weather topic changed I never felt so awkward
My regrets regress and changes with expressionless faces
Your eyes twitch and nostrils flare
No surprise there
When you slap me in my face
We know our limits
But we still try to push it
My friends understand I had no end in sight
When I left you behind I forgot to say goodbye
My existence moves to my centre
Some assistance is needed to help my sanity
So won't you help me or have I read the room wrong
Careful easy does it these dreadful circumstances
Reared karma's ugly head from that box under my bed
You'll get yours and I'll get my, comeuppance
I'll wipe down my fingerprints
Pin this on me Watson
with your elementary deduction
Just save me before I self destruct over your ceiling

I'm stuck between a rock and hard place
High in the stratosphere
I'm struggling, look at my face
Now here comes the fear
The birds are flying down below the air is getting thin
If I could wear an astronaut suit I'd jump straight to the moon
But gravity's got its claws in me and pulling me down
Tell the cops it's bullying me weighing me towards the ground
I'm finding it hard to let go even though I've done it before
what if I fail to float and crack open my head on the floor
I'm higher than I’ve ever been so I repeat to my self I'll be fine
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
What if fall to the floor and I'm already dead
The cops were called, the cops were called
But no paramedics I fell to fast and didn’t float
I fell harder than most
The cops were called, shovels were sent
To scrape me off the pavement
Oh I let go and I'm falling
Oh god no this is way to fast
Spread out and grow something to break my fall
I looked down and saw nothing
Not looking forward to landing
What if fall to the floor and I'm already dead
The cops were called, the cops were called
But no paramedics
I fell to fast and didn’t float I fell harder than most
shovels were sent by waste management
To scrape me off the pavement
Now all that remains
Were the bloodstains
From my scattered brain
I didn't train
So My muscles were too lose
To hold on to the edge of you
What if fall to the floor and I'm already dead
The cops were called, the cops were called
But no paramedics
I fell to fast and didn’t float I fell harder than most
shovels were sent by waste management
To scrape me off the pavement

Hobo look
03:10
|

Oh funny you don't act like you would in a movie
Do you think it's true I don't have a clue anymore
Running out of time
I had enough time to tell you to fuck off
I'd like a redo I'd like a repeat of this morning
She said well, only when hell freezes over
So tell me if I should even bother
I'm freaking you out I'm flailing about on the floor
I was saying things and touching things I shouldn't touch
Speaking of taboos I wanted to but I like you
So R E S P E C T respect me as an equal
She said well, only when hell freezes over
So tell me if I should even bother
Shove a note in my pocket for me
Stick a posted note on this memory
Chances like this don't happen every day
So I will wait for you to say
She said well, looks like hell's frozen over
So tell your body to move closer
Simultaneous now we rise with farm animals
But I needed a job I needed to find out who I was
But I dig the hobo look and I think I took it a bit too far
Now on top of this neglect, I recollect with a quivering jaw
She said well, only when hell freezes over
So tell me of I should even bother
So shove a note in my pocket for me
Stick a posted note on this memory
Chances like this don't happen every day
So I will wait for you to say
She said well, looks like hell's frozen over
So tell your body to move closer to mine

Chasing your own tail
03:18
|
|||
Judging by the hue of your skin
You've just gone a crimson
What going on in that cranium
Did something went wrong when I was explaining
You're chasing your own tail
With these tall tales but the devil's in the detail
This obsessing is making you pale
Hunting this white whale
was bound to fail
You heard hoofs so for you it proves
Zebras are making their move
Now you're horsing around with lassos
Failing about with a few loose screws
You're chasing your own tail with these tall tales
But the devil's, in the detail, obsessing is making you pale
Hunting this white whale was bound to fail
How could you ever construe such a violent view of me viewing you
If I sift through all the shit you threw, then I'd be the fool for playing in your stool
Throw me a bone and I'll atone
Before you drag me out of my home
For you have cast the first stone
Looking down at me from your thrown
Somersaults to doge your insults
That you catapult with the force of a thunderbolt
A pinch of salt could result in the halt of this assault
That got my blood on the asphalt

Media studies

I've been meandering In a dream
Ever since I made promises in my sleep
Do I prefer to perforate our plotline?
Or suspend my disbelief, don't worry it's fine
Now here comes the dissolution
Now here comes a big disruption
We're heading towards a new
equilibrium
There will be some growth pains
but we'll get over them
forming order in the chaos
to found a hero within
be bolder or get lost
In indecision
Now that our narrative is juxtaposed
To when I was with you and I was left alone
I suppose the mise-en-scene of you and me
split into thirds with dead space in between
Representations of the stereotypical
Conventions of our love have been archetypical
Did I let go of my own monomyth
is the hero's quest the princess
or is he just selfish
Here comes a transformation
Here comes a chance for Redemption

Attach to her hip with a clip
As she nonchalantly cracks her whip
You over pessimistic prick
Your serotonin's bound to dip
Well your not a neuroscience major
So why would you go over analyse your feelings for her
Fickle vacillant gent, you're a fool whos lacking sense
That fond attachment to her scent won't justify the argument
So your not a philosopher
So why should you go over analyse your feelings for her
Before taking a course
Of course, you just want intercourse
now we're getting to the source
there's a residue of remorse
Your Nothing but a Trojan whore
Cause Detol won't protect this detrimental eye contact
Be Careful cause she'll expect a legally binding contract
Oh sir your not a registered lawyer nor a law enforcer
My god you barely know you're outside of the bed
You wish but your not a phycologist but you think you get the gist
from the way that you two kiss I'm sure there's something you've missed
This combination of fear and lust has fucked you both up enough
Good luck curing your dandruff your flaking out and losing trust
Best ensure you got a good head on your shoulders
Before you start to over analysing what is in hers
Your theories you plucked them right out from the trees
She won't steal your ribs she's not eve in temping you to get on one knee
Love won't come so analytically

Meanie reminding you no
03:48
|

Scratch that itch you stupid bitch
You're running away from yourself
Catch a stitch before you switch your anger onto everyone else
You're in danger of asking for help, you're a stranger in your little hell
Must you always run
Away from your problems
You can never solve them
Running from them
Fire that impulse trigger regardless of the danger
Of catching that tiger by the toe who hollered out to let it go
Your inner meanie reminding you no
Must you always run
Away from your problems
You can never solve them
Running from them
Now it's too late to make a mistake
For Pete's sake, why did you have to wait
For forty breaks and flakes to suffocate and end in a stalemate
Fire that impulse trigger regardless of the danger
Of catching that tiger by the toe who hollered out to let it go
Your inner meanie reminding you no
Man that instant high oh my it really made the time fly
Now your rung out in a twist you've been hung up to dry
Thirsty from the loss of will to try
Now you run from fun
Cause fun's the route of the problem
Locked you in a prison
Of escapism
Now it's too late to make a mistake
For Pete's sake, why did you have to wait
For forty breaks and flakes to suffocate and end in a stalemate
Sitting still, so still
Ideal idol ill

Shelf life
04:01
|

Lazy ways, crazy days swept through the wall of haze my minds ablaze
As I contemplate what's on my plate, for fuck sake I just ate, please refrigerate
But I keep staring at my food as it's shelf life depletes
I can't take this all by myself I need help
Apologies, forgive me, please
Take this complacency, emotionally displacing me
Troubleshoot, what's the use? superfluous stuff flew through us
While we're staring at our food as it's shelf life depletes
now it's too much to take by ourselves, we need help
Staring at your food as it's shelf life depletes
Slowly letting it go to waste
Please don't wait for your expiry date
Bar gaining any hope from bargaining
Id do anything just to cope with leaving
Arguing, why you are going,
But there's no negotiating with a broken machine
Staring at your shoes as your shelf life depletes
Scared because it's way too soon please recalculate the expiry date
Staring at you as your shelf life depletes
Scared cause I don't know what to do or what to say, I'm sorry
As it steals you so slowly
It leaves you so lonely
Staring at your food as it's shelf life depletes
Scared of being in your own but you're not alone, I'm coming home
I'll be by your side as your shelf life depletes

I ain't going nowhere till I'm 80 (at least),
That's the frame of mind I'm gonna have,
I didn't feel middle-aged when I was 40,
Didn't think 60 too old to fall in love.
I'm not ready to shuffle off this mortal coil,
Nor to slip quietly, gently into that long night,
No, I ain't going nowhere till I'm 80
Hell no, will I give up without a fight!
With mind over matter, I'll oust that ugly squatter
and rise like the phoenix from the ashes of defeat.

Still
04:13
|

Your still, giving me shivers
Your not so silent killer Left a lot of filler
Several episodes later
Ended the slow decline of another timeline
Now I can barely get near the scent of incense sticks
thick like a toxic fumes
Still and lifeless in the room
Tiptoe although there's no need to
Now that you've gone somewhere new
Once Alive and well now in the past rest in peace at last
As I pick up the pieces my Heart rate increases
Seems to be a 1 to 3 minute gap between panic attacks
Hit with shortness of breath when I realised you'd left
Now it's a bureaucratic nightmare
That kafkaesque behind the desk blank stare
Wait here and sign there
After you fill out the paperwork
This is still going to hurt
Once Alive and well now in the past, you're at peace at last
As I pick up the pieces my Heart rate increases
Seems to be a 1 to 3 hour gap between panic attacks
Hit with shortness of breath dealing with what you left
An intangible part of the scenery
Exit stage left but left a cold body
And I think that's what bothers me
This room's now empty yet still full of your memory
Once Alive and well now in the past you found peace at last
As I pick up the pieces my Heart rate increases
Seems to be a 1 to 3 day gap between panic attacks
Hit with shortness of breath knowing that you've left
Mourn your dead dress in black, let that armour crack
And I'll pick up the pieces as my heart rate stabilises
Seems to be a 1 to 3 month gap between panic attacks
Hit with shortness of breath forgetting that you left
Hit with shortness of breath remembering that you left
Now this shortness of breath is getting less and less

Slumber under pressure
04:53
|
|||
Another statuesque silent battlefield
Betwixt the pure and the damned
My dreams eroded into sand
Dashed by the tumultuous tide
I'll never be a whale but wail when I'm blue
I never learn how to sail now storm clouds continue to brew
So take me down to the sea bed to see if can slumber under pressure
But I can't hold my breath forever and I'm coming to the end of my tether
Propped up in exoskeleton
Programmed by repetition
Left in the hands of algorithms
No moral code just data and decisions
I not made of metal and my mental state made me blue
I never learned how to compile sound formulas to make me smile
So take me down to a singularity and see if I can slumber under pressure
But can't hold this logic forever but I'm struggling to think of something better
Once again a Darwinian award thought runs through my brain
That's when my Darwinian engine sputters into life again
No noose is ever good noose
When I'm fumbling with loose knots
To be was the only question which i thought I knew how but now I forgot
And once again a Darwinian award thought runs through my brain
That's when my Darwinian engine sputters into life again
So take me down to the gallows and see if I can hang out under pressure
But I can't choke on this rope forever and I'm struggling to think of something better yeah I'm coming to the end of my tether
I can't be your knight in shining armour
My Lance has got an off-kilter bow
But don't go when I fear the great unknown
Cause my bones are sore when I'm alone
I'll never be royal so why am i royally blue
I never learn to toil now my hands still look brand new
Now let's go around this round table
And see who can slumber under pressure
Can you hold your smile forever
or are you struggling at the end of your tether
if so can we let go together?
Let's grow old, I'm told things will get better

Nice breathing
04:05
|
|||
I guess this ain't a swing door, so best get a handle
Cause pulling out unlocked potential is proving quite the struggle
Cheek muscles droop, my youth has flown the coop
Oops, I think I've just duped myself into buying that excuse
Oh my god I've been wasting time again
Extrapolating facts from fabrications
Exhale poison, inhale poison
Either way, it's been nice breathing
Feet sowed to the floor, so where is your need for more,
your need to soar?
Can't get close to the sun trapped in the lies you spun
Why did you focus on that kid pig after all that work that spiders done
Oh my god I've been wasting time again
Extrapolating facts from works of fiction
Exhale poison, inhale poison
Either way, it's been nice breathing
Well done remembering basic survival needs
I bet your sick of crawling on your knees
Eat, shit, hydrate, shit, work, repeat
I think I'm going to break, can I start again next week
Oh my god I've been wasting time again
Extrapolating facts from my inaction
Exhale poison, inhale poison
Either way, it's been nice existing
Oh my god it's been
Chasing skeletons
Racing heartbeats rhythm
and I'm still breathing
Exhale poison
Inhale poison
Either way, it's been nice existing, breathing, loving, fucking, shiting,
I guessing working too

Christmas is a time where most people would buy presents.
But why not instead write an album and give that out to people? Although this has been done four times the reduction of CD players in society is reducing these gifts to an URL.
