Mono 04:54
I feel the days drag on when I wake up and you're gone I never hit my stride, it's cold outside, I'm bored online Calling you on the phone just makes me want you to come home I want the face to face, your warm embrace, I hate this space There's only time for a video, I miss you why do you need to go? There's always someone who calls with another chore, I want you more I never get enough of you when you're in such a mad rush Why can't we stay in bed, sleep in instead, it just ain't fair I know it makes no sense if you don't work you'll never make rent It doesn't change my view, I know it's true, I still miss you Baby I seldom feel that blue, 'cause all I need is you and I will not hear another word in mono The litter is all I see of you The litter is all I see of you All of the plastic tubs filled up with love get thrown out The litter is all I see of you The litter is all I see of you All of the plastic tubs filled up with love get thrown out The litter is all I see of you The litter is all I see of you All of the plastic tubs filled up with love get thrown out There's only time for a video, I miss you why do you need to go? There's always someone who calls, with another chore, I want you more There's only time for a video, I miss you why do you need to go? There's always someone who calls, with another chore

Fraud 02:46
My favourite place is alone, I like to be on my own But I'm complacent in the face of unknown They say the best things are free, I don't think it's that easy It feels so good to plug it up with money You hit me when I'm on top, always do such a great job Lean in closer then you whisper in my ear and tell me You're a fraud, coming undone If you never start, you never have to be done I'm just being honest, oh deep down you know it I'm in charge oh I feel like I'm pulling teeth, I have to admit defeat When the cause is supposed to be my relief You creep in when I'm on top, pull the rug out and I drop Lean in closer then you whisper in my ear and tell me You're a fraud, coming undone If you never start, you never have to be done I'm just being honest, oh deep down you know it I'm in charge oh You're a fraud, coming undone If you never start, you never have to be done I'm just being honest, oh deep down you know it. I'm in charge oh I'm a fraud, sometimes it's true But it's getting old having to listen to you I'm just being honest, oh deep down you know it I'm in charge oh

He gets up early, stays up so late Everyone is sleeping while he's working away Working his fingers down to the bone Tying to take a house and turn it into a home Somebody can't relate, they're mad, they're really screaming There must be some mistake, he had a reason Stuck in a stalemate it sees the way he's feeling So it sits down on his shoulder, inches closer and closer, saying You worked so hard and everything looks so great Everybody wants to come and take that away My hands are dirty, yours look so clean Why don't you let me inside? Give yourself over to me Someone has to be the bad guy So might as well give up and take this advice I'll make it easy, you just repeat Everyone I know is after me! He's so essential, been there so long Everybody else is doing such a bad job He better tell them, how would they know? He's the only person who can carry this load No one will take the bait, they say he isn't needed There must be some mistake, he's feeling cheated Stuck in a stalemate it sees the way he's feeling So it sits down on his shoulder, inches closer and closer, saying You work so hard I think it's time for a break Don't you ever worry they could take that away? My hands are dirty, yours look so clean Why don't you let me inside? Give yourself over to me Someone has to be the bad guy So might as well give up and take this advice I'll make it easy, you just repeat Everyone I know is after me! I just don't get why they're after me (they're after me) I just don't get why they're after me (they're after me) It's been so easy passing the buck Every time he blamed it he was pushing his luck His little devil, it don't exist There's nothing left to prove, I think it's time to admit Someone has to be the bad guy So might as well give up and take this advice I'll make it easy, you just repeat Everyone I know is after me! Someone has to be the bad guy So might as well give up and take this advice I'll make it easy, you just repeat Everyone I know is after me!

Woah 03:08
Push 'em out and build a wall Must be so nice to make that call Where's your sense of decency? It's only when you're talking to me Woah! Can you believe this? The words you said run through my head Oh! I'm losing sleep here You let me down and I want out but man I hope you come around Struggling to get a grip The captain must go down with his ship I don't doubt you disagree But you'll be the one we lose at sea Woah! Can you believe this? The words you said run through my head Oh! I'm losing sleep here You let me down and I want out but man I hope you come around (I hope you come around) (Man I hope you come around) Make a b-line Should've seen the signs Make a b-line Man it ain't right Woah! Can you believe this? The words you said run through my head Oh! I'm losing sleep here You let me down and I want out but man I hope you come around Woah! Can you believe this? The words you said run through my head Oh! I'm losing sleep here You let me down and I want out but man I hope you come around

Floating 02:59
Sometimes it hits when I drift away I can feel the weight It's crushing me I know it's temporary But it'll creep up on me And god I hate that feeling Please let me go I'm floating Don't bring me down I'm too heavy Sometimes it hits on a rainy day I'm playing make believe It's so clear to see I close the windows and blinds So I can make up my mind But I always waste my own time Please let me go I'm floating Don't bring me down I'm too heavy Sometimes those teeth really sink in I can't comprehend This is gonna end It's just a matter of time I know I won't really mind Might as well enjoy the ride Please let me go I'm floating Don't bring me down I'm too heavy Please let me go I'm floating Don't bring me down I'm too heavy

All Ears 02:44
Nobody has to defend a longing for the weekend Only so many hours before the mood sours You don't belong (Oh it's like you're dated) But you're pushing on (You're pushing on) I know it's long (On and on and) But you're not alone (You're not alone) Everyone can stay outside When you're being so pushed around Feels just like a kick when you're down oh If the world's got you close to tears Leave it with me girl I'm all ears Nobody wants a reason to feel a lack of meaning So many ways of failing, man it's like you're flailing You don't belong (Oh it's like you're dated) But you're pushing on (You're pushing on) I know it's long (On and on and) But you're not alone (You're not alone) Everything can stay outside When you're being so pushed around Feels just like a kick when you're down oh If the world's got you close to tears Leave it with me girl I'm all ears When you're being so pushed around Feels just like a kick when you're down oh If the world's got you close to tears Leave it with me girl I'm all ears

Perfect Fit 02:22
Everybody says "it's not a race" But they try so hard to keep up the pace Someday everything will be erased So find a way to cope Everyone believes if they persist The world will know that they exist Worrying we never will be missed Can overtake with repetition Is it worth the length you've run? Could you start it over? Should you be having more fun? Would it give you closure? Think I'm in between And I feel relief That it's not just me People tell me that I'm good at this Guess I've found my thing what a perfect fit I mostly feel like I'm hypocrite Admiring a frame A sinking feeling when I lie awake I worry I've made a big mistake Hating that I never appreciate The comfort of a goal Is it worth the length I've run? Could I start it over? Should I be having more fun? Would it give me closure? Think I'm in between And I feel relief That it's not just me Think I'm in between And I feel relief That it's not just me

Rough 03:13
In everyone's ambition you're a common thread I know you feel it itching in the back of your head Overwhelming pressure, you can't just let it fester There's no easy way out Well I guess it's all too much Might as well give up Too complicated, you always push it down But you should face it this ain't gonna work itself out There's something we should discuss But you're so walled up You always make it so tough Dragging yourself through the mud I'll be there when you're done I hope it wasn't too rough Serious position, there's no way to help I think you might be fishing, I can't really tell You know we'll be around, be with you for the come down There's no easy way out Well I guess it's all too much Might as well give up Too complicated, you always push it down But you should face it this ain't gonna work itself out There's something we should discuss But you're so walled up You always make it so tough Dragging yourself through the mud I'll be there when you're done I hope it wasn't too rough Might as well give up, well I guess it's all too much Might as well give up, well I guess it's all too much Might as well give up, well I guess it's all too much Might as well give up, well I guess it's all too much There's something we should discuss But you're so walled up You always make it so tough Dragging yourself through the mud I'll be there when you're done I hope it wasn't too rough

Venice 02:22
I used to go to Venice Now I take selfies with my dog whose name I can't recall I took a class in Spanish I ended up online and hired someone to buy me wine I gave up long ago And now I echo through the halls of my silent giant home I was a new romantic I was at the cutting edge of my teenage renaissance I had a perfect compass I gave it all up for a man who owned too many keys I gave up long ago And now I echo through the halls of my silent giant home I used to go to Venice Now I take selfies with my dog whose name I can't recall I was a new romantic I was at the cutting edge of my teenage renaissance I gave up long ago And now I echo through the halls of silent giant home I gave up long ago I've never felt so old And now I echo through my home

Make Do 03:39
Pack it up I think it's good enough, we did the time Knock it down I think it's finished, we can say goodbye If it flops We can always take it from the top again I know where we went wrong I'll make a memo so I don't forget You say you're always shouting from the sideline You're only really looking at the downsides Sorry if you're feeling kinda let down This is the only, only way I know how It's now or never, I need you Come whatever, we'll make do I'm feeling better, it's all good We're all good now It's now or never, I need you Come whatever, we'll make do I'm feeling better, it's all good We're all good now I was wrong I should've know the pieces didn't fit But that's done This time it's perfect and now I'm convinced So kick back I really wouldn't worry it'll all work out Relax I think we're sitting pretty good right now You say you're always shouting from the sideline You're only really looking at the downsides Sorry if you're feeling kinda let down This is the only, only way I know how It's now or never, I need you Come whatever, we'll make do I'm feeling better, it's all good We're all good now It's now or never, I need you Come whatever, we'll make do I'm feeling better, it's all good We're all good now You say you're always shouting from the sideline You're only really looking at the downsides Sorry if you're feeling kinda let down This is the only, only way I know how You say you're always shouting from the sideline You're only really looking at the downsides Sorry if you're feeling kinda let down This is the only, only way I know how It's now or never, I need you Come whatever, we'll make do I'm feeling better, it's all good We're all good now It's now or never, I need you Come whatever, we'll make do I'm feeling better, it's all good We're all good now

Clear 03:50
Everything's under control There might be cracks in the walls We're building on faults Focused on being composed Looks pretty good I suppose But how long will it hold? Where do I draw the line in my design It might seem weird, but I'm happy here Who's to say I'm not right, it ain't your life I feel fine, so can I just stay here? Where everything is so clear Caving in habitually Feeding a desperate need And feeling faulty Give up and try letting go Come take a break from the mould We can stumble and fall Where do I draw the line in my design It might seem weird, but I'm happy here Who's to say I'm not right, it ain't your life I feel fine, so can I just stay here? Where everything is so clear Where do I draw the line in my design It might seem weird, but I'm happy here Who's to say I'm not right, it ain't your life I feel fine, so can I just stay here? Where everything is so clear

Disappear 05:20
I feel deflated, can't seem to muster the energy I'm getting lazy, nothing's as fun as my memory When there was always somewhere to go Taking comfort in my favourite show Figured that was all there was But now it's gone and I still hang on I was told a lie, now I'm stranded here Oh that greener side is looking better every year Ain't nowhere to hide when you're stuck with fear But damn it's nice to try and feel like you could disappear I used to be captivated, I wondered what was ahead of me The feeling's faded, I miss the way that I used to be When there was always somewhere to go Taking comfort in my favourite show Figured that was all there was But now it's gone and I still hang on I was told a lie, now I'm stranded here Oh that greener side is looking better every year Ain't nowhere to hide when you're stuck with fear But damn it's nice to try and feel like you could disappear
