Better Views 03:59
Washed out with the rain But I’d do it again Trade in your blues For a better view I know it’s a dismal game we play I know you’re testing me Sleep off the pain And try again Blackout your eyes With a better high I know about the twisted rites you hide behind I know you’re testing me Rip off the veil Of this hellish tale Slip through the back streets And cover up your trail I know it’s the vague and dark you’re drawn too I know you’re testing me

Control 03:46
I don’t understand it, Tell me, does it show? Feel overwhelmed by A lack of control Kick back and leave me in the cold It’s fine, I’ve never needed anything to hold onto Now you say you want another lover at your door? No, I don’t wanna play the same game anymore You wanna leave tonight Leave before the light Can offer us a bit of life I never found out that peace of mind Was an illusion bound and tied Behind thick walls of blues and greys, The haze we’d dreamt up to disguise the pain Hold on now, the feeling that it brings Is just a temporary pain And I’m never gonna bring it back ‘round here again I’m gonna leave tonight, Leave before the light Can offer us a bit of life Sever the chord that ties These tiring eyes To the dark in wait behind

Stray 04:16
I didn’t know where we would stand, My head in my hands, But I never wanna see your face again Didn’t know where we would be, We’re nothing to see, But I know that I never wanna do it again You just stand outside my window And watch me bleed out You’re running again, Running scared You’re at it again, Running scared In my head, You’re always in my head I should’ve kept my own part clean In my head, You’re always in my head I couldn’t stay astray Stray I don’t know where we went wrong Was it dead all along? I just know that I never wanna feel that again I don’t know what I could say To take it away But I know that I never wanna hurt you again You just stand outside my window And hear me scream out You’re running again, Running scared You’re at it again, Running scared In my head, You’re always in my head I should’ve kept my own part clean In my head, You’re always in my head I couldn’t stay astray Stray

I don't want your money You can't afford love I'm feeling it all collapse Right under my nose again And kick out with the wind I don't want your hours I don't have the time You corner me when I'm down Down and out again The only time you ever call me I'm ready for love Are you?
5.
Maybe I'd be better off in Berlin Or as an artists muse in London Drifting from hand to hand Maybe I was born to be a sailor, Drop my anchors in Antigua As a travelling fisherman But I am home wherever you are near There's no life in anything When you're not here Who could take my love away? Maybe I was destined for philosophy Leading leftist ideologies At the Paris-Sorbonne Dreaming up the splendid demise Of the societies we despise At Cafe de Flore But these things lose all their meaning And allure If you're not there to Witness the grandeur What could shake my love away? Maybe we'll be missionaries in the Congo Revolutionaries in Cuba Perhaps we'll build a home In the shadows of the forest Along the east coast, or the west coast I forget where we decided As long as I'm with you when we do it I could trade the views in For any pallet Nothing can take my love away Nothing can take my love away
6.
(People have only two choices: to suffer, or to fight) Oh, grueling undertow Spit me out any place you know I'm too tired to swim home Another staggering knockabout Hammering the thought home Like a nail through the window Who are you to tell me who to know And what to know? Can't you leave this poor fool alone? You're far too scared of the unknown It feels the same everyday This flawless paradigm Can't talk me into blinding my eyes With the bright lights of these white lies Souls forgot underneath The weight of something we could reach If it weren't easier just to leave ya Who are you to turn your face away From the darker days? Taking cover from another Maybe it's too late for you It feels the same everyday
