Wallowing in the more (What good is that gonna do?) They say that I am suffering a sickness That I am incapable The danger's in believing that it's true (Who's gonna lift you up, boy?) If you can't turn this demon on its head You might as well check out for good Hey, let's do this right now! Don't become your enemy You got this! This is the only way I will never be one of them again Every day we just complain And close our eyes and pray it goes away So raise your voice and make demands It's time to take a stand It's the only way Sing... Chemically ripe for war They say that I am suffering a sickness Bet that's what they told Dad too The danger's in not knowing what to do If you can't burn this ghost of grief Prepare yourself for life to close its doors Every day we just complain And close our eyes and pray it goes away So raise your voice and make demands It's time to take a stand It's the only way Sing... Stripped to the bone with hefty muscle Expose the core with cruelty out of love Adopt a different kind of life An honest, human, primal cry! We will not follow We lead the way We're the new leaders of man (x2) Every day we just complain And close our eyes and pray it goes away So raise your voice and make demands It's time to take a stand It's the only way Sing...

All in Whoever said that life was simple Lied through their teeth What's the catch? The catch is... Anything that's worth a damn at all's worth fighting for But if all was fair We wouldn't have to spin the roulette wheel And bet with our lives Whether wrong or right Only you or I can cross the distance formed by space and time Don't know if I am ready to let myself fall This fast without a lifeline But now I'm sure as I have been before The gamble's worth the gain Are you waiting cos I'm waiting Are you really there? If you're who you said you are There's no sense hiding me In a different life We wouldn't have to spin the roulette wheel And bet with our lives Whether wrong or right Only you or I can cross the distance formed by space and time Are you waiting cos I'm waiting?

Growing up I was fixated on starships on the silver screen A future where we all seemingly got along Content to explore... Will we? Will we ever leave home? Will we know the unknown? Will we? I sometimes can't help but feel I'm on the losing team Will it be 2035 with nothing left to show but division? Will we learn to admit when we are wrong? Will we? Will we stand the test of time or die? Will we? We will!

I'm guessing you were just born maybe yesterday You live life the naive way You think he's talking truth but you just can't let it go And maybe he is, you'll rarely ever know! And if you're worried what your daddy'd think You better turn the other cheek As if your god would worry bout another hole if you give it... Soul! You say you want a deep connection If it's deep you want, I got it Still say we're one short of the dollar And that's a lot of sense to me You say you want it, baby? But you still want his blessing Throw out your dated notions And take your cues below! Tell me now if you're keeping up? Cos if you don't, I'll spell it out Most folks I know like to try before they buy And if he don't mind either way He is a gentleman and a scholar You can believe that! I'm guessing that you'll come around As your body burns with pleasure As your body burns, you'll come round and round And round and round you go Reeling to and fro And as my hunger grows Your body sorely glows Most folks I know like to try before they buy It's just a fact of life I know this painkiller's a real headache That's why you gotta let it go

Feeling flat The colours don't seep in anymore My whole life in front of me But it seems like it's behind Feeling so flat Foresee time in front of me But it doesn't have that glow Nothing does I rush into battlefields But I'm always head first I fly without radar But I'm on autopilot And I'm the only passenger Thank god Feeling so flat Can't you see me struggling, family? Can't you feel my love? Can't you see me broken, stranded without you near Can't you see me writhing, Daddy? You left me here alone! Can we move past the tit-for-tat? We're much too old for that! Too weak for anything but a quick fix Inject my dose of adrenaline Too weak for anything but a quick fix Inject my dose of benevolence Too weak for anything but a quick fix Inject my dose of delirium Too weak for anything but this... My whole life in front of me But it seems like it's benign Feeling so flat But I feel I feel, so don't give up on me Cos I will never give up on you

There's a picture of mum and dad, and me on the fireplace Wiping my nose in it Creature comforts like growing up believing the world's a friendly a place When it's not There's always someone Who's without someone Why's it always me? Just this once, not me Just for now, not me
I'm late to class again Fell asleep at 3am The story of my life Forgot my pass again Centre of attention There's no place I'd rather not be than snoozing for 10 It's real enough for me to feel it It's good enough for me to live it Wistful and so sentimental The present is so overblown It's real enough for me to feel there Then it's real enough for me to be there Soul searching, internalising nostalgia I have been guilty of living in the past To give it another go To give it another try I'm addicted to that tummy rush The heart flutter and the body butterflies Well, can you blame me for drifting way back there? It seemed like a simpler time Or maybe all were blind? Rose-tinted has always been our jam We're human after all... Take a trip down memory lane? It's tough being a man When you're still a boy inside And lonely, rainy nights hide tears and growing pains Am I deserving of love? It's real enough for me to feel it It's good enough for me to live it The star of my own Bildungsroman The coming of age is too slow! Oh, it's real enough for me to feel there Then it's real enough for me to stay there Dependable, battery-recharging nostalgia... Sometimes it's noxious It will consume Deeper and deeper I sink into nostalgia For a time and place I never knew You shackled me in your loss You passed the torch between men So I relive my halcyon days In the summertime through nostalgia Take a trip down memory lane!

Re-watched the home videos The ones on vintage tapes Now covered in grain I can barely make out your face I breathed the air you breathe I mimed each word you'd say Like father, like son Only umpteen years away... But if I could just say goodbye to you? Cos I'm blind Colourblind Blind in a world full of colour Blind Colourblind Blind in a world full of colour A boy without a father If I could only paint the black and white With vivid colours of pink and green And open up your palette to the fascination that it could've been But I can't cos life is not a platform game With an HUD With more than one life But the choice is yours To spit chips or call But once you commit You'll have to sit our future out I would give it all to talk again! Cos I'm blind Colourblind Blind in a world full of colour Blind Colourblind Blind in a world full of colour A boy without a father If I could only paint the black and white If I could take your hand and walk you through my life since Would it faze you at all or would I have to convince? That being wholly selfish left indelible footprints In the way I see the world and how I'm swallowed by it If I could freeze all time and show you where I am now Would you feel remorse or guilt that you chewed me up and spat me out? The parent's oath; always in the interest of your child You thought this was really it? (x2) The final straw that you drew short At least you had a choice unlike this boy without a father Oh now, it's crystal clear I'm like you but I see in Technicolour Blind Colourblind Blind in a world full of colour A boy without a father If I could only paint the black and white

It's too late, it's too late, we've broken in half It's too late to separate the bullet wound from the scars If faith is a virtue, then why'd you lose yours And pass the point of no return? If you cross the river, then you build a mountain Who'll shine the lantern and guide me to you? I've found the best way is to find the fountain of youth you created Half of me is you! Children need protectors and fathers are providers And family is the lifeblood That's why we needed you Grieving, crying Ordained to walk alone as you cross the Rubicon I thought I caught a flicker but you were never there Did you see our smiles before you crossed the Rubicon? I grew up too fast We all have a day A line we all must tow The lantern's light flickers no more Still you had to choose the grimmest way To say goodbye... I thought I caught a flicker but you were never there Did you see our smiles before you crossed the Rubicon? I grew up too fast I just hope it lasts But things have a habit of going my way I'm like a cat with 9 lives a day Thrown from the rooftops I fall on my feet I have been told that it runs in my veins The gravitas to take the worst by the reins But that don't mean this broken heart won't bleed If you cut me, I'll bleed Lights will flicker as the oil runs dry Eyelids grow thicker like the swell of dusk tide And life's like that lantern swaying left to right to left to right to left to right Slowly but surely I will lay my body down and cry myself to sleep For the rest of my life The grief I feel sings the whale song Of this tragedy...
