Hell For Leather
03:28
|
|||
Eyesight blurring
Blessedly
Voices straining
Gradually
Slowly turning grey
Breaking down this way
Let's get outta here
Hold my hand, we'll go together
Edges are unclear
Moving forward, hell for leather
Darling, help me
I'm afraid
Patronise me
Keep me this way
Blur another line
(Every morning just begin again)
Take your own sweet time
(Every day survived's another win)
Let's get outta here
Hold onto my hand and we can go together
Edges are unclear
You and I both moving forward, hell for leather
Hold on tight, I'll drag you down with me
Hold on tight passive-aggressively

Am I the only one
Who gets the right thing done?
Soak up the sun, go traveling
Watch as the plan's unraveling
Don't fear what I might miss
I'll stand my ground on this
I'd rather be alive and bored
Rather be breathing and ignored
My head is too small for my body
My brain is too dry for your mouth
You like this far too much
This regulated touch
I've never been this serious
Hysterical, delirious
A breath of rancid air
A fixed, unblinking stare
Say what you want, nothing will change
Say your prayers on the driving range
My sentiments get stuck in my throat
My voice is too loud for this room
Why can no-one think straight?
Think sensibly
Employ some common sense
Stay still for a while
It's not up for debate
It's stressing me
You're offensive defence
Dig in like you're a child
And I know you're tired; I'm tired too
Don't make me think the worst of you
Close your eyes...
Without a daily prompt
We're all forever stumped
Enter the unknown willingly
It's really going swimmingly
My mind is too loud to know better

Act Right (Clean Edit)
04:24
|

Real men know how to hold tight
Real men know how to act right
Sometimes you step out of line
You forget yourself
You're lacking stealth
And someday those cute things you say
Will shatter just like glass
You're lacking class
And I'm not one to suffer fools
I'm not one to humour tools
You've already taken this too far
There's a major disparity
Between what you think we see
And who you really are
It's a major conceit, you're what just not to be
It's depressing to see that you think I'd be a fan
Not just to be so counterfeit, but to revel in it
It's amazing to me that you call yourself a man
Somehow people still allow
Your facile remit
Too much of it
And somewhere you'll be unprepared
And you'll be out of luck
Until then we're stuck
And if I could be there when you
Realise you're finally through
I would be a happy man indeed
It's not going to last that long
You already know you're wrong
This can't proceed
I'll be here to watch the tears
It's unraveling
The day will come when you'll be done
You're just stalling
I'm so tired of being fired up
Over nothing
Because you're nothing
You know you're nothing
And if you think that you're better off this way
Then I've got nothing to say
I'll let you wallow in the BS you create
You're an irrelevance and not a lot more
You even up your own score
The day you implode is a day we'll celebrate
