Dear main offender please stand up
Remain in your state of mind
Contemplate your stature and release this broken arrow
Can you see what’s happening?
I didn’t mean for this to happen but you turned dumb and narrow
Me, that’s what you’re up against
You, that’s why I hate myself
Is it you, me or us?
Start convincing yourself
Complicated scenarios ruin our time together
Time could be better
I feel as light as a feather
One was as true as can be
But two didn’t please me
Me, that’s what you’re up against
You, that’s why I hate myself
Is it you, me or us?
Start convincing yourself
Frankly beaten but never broken
Tracing your steps can take a while
That’s one thing I have to thank you for being not so clever
Caught out so many times and always the same way
Fall over one more time just to feel the pain
And the blood is real
It’s true, it’s pouring to next door
This is how you feel
Me, that’s what you’re up against
You, that’s why I hate myself
Is it you, me or us?
Start convincing yourself
Me, that’s what you’re up against
You, that’s why I hate myself
Is it you, me or us?
Start convincing yourself

Sand Beneath My Feet
Sand beneath my feet is what I mean
Sand beneath my feet is how I stand
Drops of hope rose from my raising hand
I will understand your language when you wave your wand
I will jump to you if you sing to me
Making your view heard by the rest
We listened so hard and mimed to our best
I will make sense of this trend
Burning at speed won’t be the end
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
The broken sunset with rippled sea
Trailing eyes follow drunken scurry
Minimal age
Comfort hug, punch open the heavens
You shout loud, release the red sock
Shout loud, release sock
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
Was a friend
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
Was a friend
Was a friend
Was a friend
Was a friend
Sand beneath my feet is how I stand
Drops of hope rose from my raising hand
I will understand your language when you wave your wand
I will jump to you if you sing to me
Making your view heard by the rest
We listened so hard and mimed to our best
I will make sense of this trend
Burning at speed won’t be the end
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
The broken sunset with rippled sea
Trailing eyes follow drunken scurry
Minimal age
Comfort hug, punch open the heavens
You shout loud, release the red sock
Shout loud, release sock
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
Was a friend
Once wasn’t twice but was again
When the panic started then
When our panic was a friend
Was a friend
Was a friend
Was a friend
Was a friend

Casino
Alcohol was drank so I could dance
Lets ask for one more tiny chance
Fragmented love in this sad, lonely romance
I’m asking for release from this place place
Make it happen for me you’re my mate mate
You’re the devil but I could kiss you, hapless
Lets burn this place and call it casino
What are you looking at me for?
I’ve given you all the money but you want more
Vultures to the desperate, lost and the weak
I’m asking for release from this place place
Make it happen for me you’re my mate mate
You’re the devil but I could kiss you, hapless
Lets burn this place and call it casino
Lets burn this place
Lets burn this place down
I’m asking for release from this place place
Make it happen for me you’re my mate mate
You’re the devil but I could kiss you, hapless
Lets burn this place
My mug shot will be fake, break break
“What’s your middle name?” Pete Pete
I’m asking for release from this place place
Make it happen for me you’re my mate mate
