Parachute 03:35
lyrics
My love, our love is not the same It's in the way we're treated I must have flushed it down the drain Is that now how you see me? I didn't need to love her too It was only me and you The hole in my parachute No I didn't get it back Oh, and that is that The whole of my constitution... My love, our love is not a game Difference in what's expected I reassure you, nothings changed Is this the way you want it? I didn't need to love her too It was only me and you The hole in my parachute No I didn't get it back Oh, and that is that The whole of my constitution... Torn And my low spirit keeps me in the dark And my low spirit keeps you in the dark My love, my life is not my own Nothing makes me happy I have been burying my bones The world will turn without me I didn't need to love her too It was only me and you The hole in my parachute No I didn't get it back Oh, and that is that The whole of my constitution... I didn't need to love her too I didn't need to love her too I didn't to love her Oh I didn't need to!

Bored on the weekend 03:40
lyrics
Bored on the weekend I'm on my way I no longer try to pretend That I'm on my way I lost my friends I didn't mean to, it happened I lost my friends Worshipping, real on the screen Drugging my eyes I feel just like I could scream To get myself high I lost my friends I didn't mean to, it happened I lost my friends They're all in this together, I know They're all in this together They're birds of a feather, I know They're all in this together I lost my friends I didn't mean to, it happened I lost my friends (x2) .... Me and my lover then I think that we'll be fine It's me and my lover then Until the end of time

Lonely Year 04:40
lyrics
It's been a lonely year, I'm so happy that it's over It was about 6 months ago, I questioned my love I knew I wasn't fine In losing my reality It was a good 6 months ago I pushed my love away Born again New in my skin (I saw inside myself and it is not what I wanted) Born Again New in my skin It's been a lonely year (I know so well) And I am responsible (I know it too well) I hurt you I hurt myself too (Better, all beautiful, feather arms, feather soul) So much change (I know it so well) But change is repairable (I know it so well) If it brings us back better it is worth all our tears BORN AGAIN New in my skin (I saw inside myself and it is not what I wanted) BORN AGAIN New in my skin ...I needed to say something but I swallowed it deep inside Make a choice they said, decide! But I was destroyed You said it was like being haunted by a ghost And you were right, I was floating away somewhere I was gone.. Can say it now I got it wrong I cut myself I cut it long I flew right into the sun If I get it deep then I'll emerge as no one BORN AGAIN (I should have let you die) New in my skin (I saw inside myself and it is not what I wanted) BORN AGAIN (I should have let you die) New in my skin (yeah I should have let you die) It's been a lonely year (You know me too well) I'm glad to see the back of it (You know me too well) It was around 6 months ago I questioned my love I should have let you die.

Moonlight Sun 02:38
lyrics
Waiting, waiting for the moonlight sun Moving, she is moving on I'd almost gotten over her when the help would come But it was too late by then, the damage had been done Waiting, waiting for her lips to talk I am, I am an afterthought I'd almost gotten over her when the help would come But it was too late by then, the damage had been done The damage had been done *Instrumental* I'd almost gotten over her when the help would come But it was too late by then, the damage had been done The damage had been done

Anything Goes 04:27
lyrics
I can put my thoughts into motion I can place my words into prose In the interests of some others I guess anything goes I can laugh and spread joy But I do not recognise my foes As from the mouths of some others I guess anything goes So maybe there is always darkness in perfection Lurking in the men we know so well Mirroring the pleasures of corruption Maybe he couldn’t help himself I didn’t see the secret motive He can touch his fingers on his toes But In the heart of some lovers I guess anything goes He tried to kiss her in the forest She told me that’s how I know In the hands of some motherf*ckers I guess anything goes So maybe there’s always darkness in perfection Lurking in the men we know so well Mirroring the pleasures of corruption Maybe he couldn’t help himself Try to read the sign But I was so damn blind Tried to read the signs But I was so damn blind Maybe there’s always darkness in perfection Lurking in the men we know so well Mirroring the pleasures of corruption Maybe he couldn’t help himself Maybe there’s always darkness in perfection That was my lesson the whole time There's no retreat from corruption Maybe that was what blew my mind

LO 02:58
lyrics
You are my poison and my medicine hanging on the hinges of your door I am the needy and the feminine Holding on for you to give me more I caught you looking in my direction... I am the captain and the prisoner Counting down the days to my release I am the awol and the revenant Hoping oh that will bring me peace I caught you looking in my direction You caught me looking at you And even when you would take me over What did I do? When I go home, everything I've ever thought is on the line I don't know how to kill this empty time I lay awake and try to see the signs I'm struggling to keep myself alive The ground I'm on is sinking and on fire I think of you and try to read your mind Its not right It's not right It's not right It's not right I caught you looking in my direction You caught me looking at you And even when you would take me over What did I do? (x2) When I go home, everything I've ever thought is on the line I don't know how to kill this empty time

Not meant to be 03:14
lyrics
Go live your life without me Go where your beauty is weightless And take good care of yourself Hope you love infinitely And it gives you everything you wanted But don't lose sight of what you need It's not meant to be I'm overthinking everything It's not meant to be C'est la vie It's not meant to be That's fine with me It's not meant to be C'est la vie Take in the world alone Trade in your burden for your freedom Breathe it in, breathe it out Be better off without me No one to wear you down For that, I am sorry It's not meant to be I'm overthinking everything It's not meant to be C'est la vie It's not meant to be That's fine with me It's not meant to be C'est la vie (x3)
