Paperback writers, you forget the time of day
Tabloid writers, don't forget two can play at your game
Song writers, you forget the chords you play fade away
Government, dividers, you know what I'm going to say
But I won't be clichéd
Jupiter, Venus
Where's my day?
Horizons, fade away
Anarchists, nihilists, your ideals scream insane
We've lost the game
Freedom fighters, don't forget the whole damn world plays your game
Deadlines, reminders, today's grey, tomorrow's the same
Family, friends, outsiders, you know what I'm going to say
But I'll say it anyway
Jupiter, Venus
Where's my day?
Horizons, fade away

Day Old Hate

So let's face it, this was never what you wanted
But I know it's fun to pretend
Well now blank stares and empty threats are all I have
They're all I have
So drown me if you can
Or we could just have "conversation"
I fall, I fall, I falter
Before I drift away
Now you still speak of day old hate
Though your whole world's gone up into flames
Isn't it great to find you're really worth nothing?
And how safe it is to feel safe?
So drown me if you can
Or we could just have "conversation"
I fall, I fall, I falter
Before I drift away
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to keep this alive (x2)

Fake Plastic Trees

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In a fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out (x4)
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the 80's
But gravity always wins
It wears him out (x4)
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help this feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
But I just turn and run
It wears me out (x4)
If I could be who you wanted...
If I could be who you wanted...
All the time
I would

That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here....

So Let's Pretend

lately i've been sleeping with an alarm clock set for night
so when i wake up i can feel i'm still alive
for the past few weeks i've seen a lot of myself
it makes me wonder what i look like from the outside
but i know
there are a million things that i could do right now
there are a million places i could be
but the truth is, i don't know where i belong anymore
and i don't think that you do too
so let's pretend
there are a million things that we could do right now
there are a million places we could be
but the truth is, i don't know where you belong anymore
and i don't think that you do too
so let's pretend
there are too many good things happening to pass life by
there are too many people in this boat
and there's a puncture in the hull, we're gonna drown
yeah, everyone's going down
but if i'm going down with you
then you're going down with me

I Wish I Could Stay Here

You closed the blinds on your windows of hope
Turned out the lights and left me standing there
Boarded up your windows and doors
So when my soul came looking it found nothing at all
It's hard to breathe when you're holding me underwater
It's hard to think when you're stuck in my head
I had a dream you broke free and came outside with me
But when I woke up cold I found nothing at all
"Close your eyes, sleep outside - It's warmer than in here"
I'll be fine, I'll run and hide
I wish I could stay here

I know it's not to get away from me
You just need a "change of scenery"
It's so strange how it all went wrong so fast
And I hope that this confusion does not last
These words might be too little too late
And I'm afraid I have already lost you
Three months equals eternity and this will be so hard
And I will long to hold you in my arms
When you ask me, "Do you love me?"
I should reply with, "Yes, most certainly"
But I always hesitate - there's something lingering
I will try hard to be your everything
These words might be too little too late
And I'm afraid I have already lost you
Three months equals eternity and this will be so hard
And I will long to hold you in my arms

Me (Demo)
03:42

When the sun has left to shine on someone else's eyes
When you're left in the dark on your own, clinging to your phone
Calling yourself just to hear your ringtone
When the world has left you alone
When the only word that you know is "me"
You can dream every evening until it's all that you see
It's probably best you ignore me, it's probably best if you just let me be
Let me be
And those three little words that can end a world, that can stop time, hang your heart on the line
I'll be fine
I never liked you anyway
Or so I'll say
And the religious fools so full of joy
Lock your arms and praise the lord
Well Heaven's a fucking cop-out, and there's nowhere else to go
Forget about what's above or below
It's not me
And the worst part is I don't even know who to blame for this mess
The government, the pope, or the souls left with hope
It's a joke
And in the end it all comes down to one little word
Me
