Vapour (free) 03:26
On that day, the day you turned to vapour, was pointing out all our pros and cons until your, condensation just seemed to linger on the phone. Line by line i tried to reel you in, on a fishing line of conversation, an angler tugging on your heart strings, but i couldn't pull you in. Oh oh oh oh..... She hung up, so upside down she left me, the business of the heart is so forgetful, so then i tell myself, "Never end up here again." and i know ill figure me out again, and i know ill get back on my feet again, but right now i can't even see the fifth of the ninth, forever just ran out. 29 to 23:59, all those early 20's you took to hide, from me, you kept them to spend them on yourself, just to make me that little bit more, shorter in pockets of my mind, i'm sure you'll fill me up to foul me over time, her low self esteem has never been this high, dressed up to the nines. A penny for those thoughts, if your selling dreams ill take the lot, fuck counting sheep i'm count me, out of every memory that reminds me of her. On that day, the day you turned to vapour, was pointing out all our pros and cons until your, condensation just seemed to linger on the phone. Line by line i tried to reel you in, on a fishing line of conversation, an angler tugging on your heart strings, so cue the violins. 29 to 23:59, all those early 20's you took to hide, from me, you kept them to spend them on yourself, just to make me that little bit more, shorter in pockets of my mind, im sure you'll fill me up to foul me over time, her low self esteem has never been this high, dressed up to the nines. Oh oh oh oh.....

You echo what i feel, then feel what i echo, returning words not real, cause your an illusion. Taking off my hat just to sit down, then opening doors to let you out. This is real to me but what is real anyway? I can see now what's happening here tonight, you're taking her away taking her away, this is frighten, and i dont want to know why your doing this in plain sight, cause i am here i'm so near to you tonight, you are real, i think. Well i don't want to be here, but you're an exception, and force me to take the air, but hold on hold on. cause i can't seem to work you out, you're buried deep in your doubt. But this is real to me but what is real anyway? I can see now what's happening here tonight, you're taking her away taking her away, this is frighten, and i dont want to know why your doing this in plain sight, cause i am here i'm so near to you tonight, you are real, i think. Turn out the light, I've turned out your light, and it's not coming back on. Let me inside, inside you, to let me decide to work you out, for good.

Tired Eyes (free) 03:40
I need a change to rearrange us, i gotta get out, i gotta get out, of this living room we're dying in. See the changes feel my scars, that turn your stomach silent cars, i gotta get out, gotta get out of this house. You shake it out of me, then fall apart so violently. But i know where i'll put you now, amongst my exs tipexxed out, cause i know i cant correct us anymore. A face against the wall, hands tied feeling small you say, give up the drink or give up me. Short changed and always skint, i gotta make it work, gotta make it work this time, or your going home. Scared of the weekend you say? your scared of my friends you mean, lying in bed obessed about the end. You take it out on me, then pull apart so easily. But i know where i'll put you now, amongst my exs tipexxed out, cause i know i cant correct us anymore. A face against the wall, hands tied feeling small you say, give up the drink or give up me. But i'll get you in the long grass, ill shatter your lies like a bottlebin, pick a piece of bullshit broken glass. Yeah i'll hunt you down to keep you thin, til skinny does fill that dress your in, i'll get you in the long grass tired eyes.

Boomerang (free) 03:33
I'm moving out as she moves in, an old coat feeling covered in pins, punctures the meanings that grow deep within, she is a ghost now covered in skin. Remember to keep out dirty thoughts in your head boy and let her go, let her go, let her go. You are the bully of my heart, a chest infection right from our very start, you swam past quiet when i was fishing in your dark, breathing so gentle, til you blow the round apart when you wake Remember to keep out dirty thoughts in your head boy and let her go, let her go, let her go x2 pull yourself together boy to tear her apart and let this go, let this go. Let this go! Her neon lungs shine through everyone, but in the dark i see you flickering, her light is on i blame the wiring, i can not touch yesterday, cause it's tied up and locked away, so i'll pull the pin that kept us in, now throw me like a boomerang, and dont catch me tho the second around, go, go! and let her go, let her go, let her go x2 pull yourself together boy to tear her tears apart so let this go, let this go. Let this go!
