Second month of the year Defined by the angle of A spinning sphere, I Lay awake watching someone show me how Work is hard to get through I work out just to get me through the day I’m so exhausted, in a daze They’re all the same, but I'm Over it There's not much I can do About it I'll take a look at the view View, my window's closed The sky is blue but the air’s so cold, I'm Seasonal affective Winter can be depressing I’ve given up on my friends Nothing ever happens even on the weekends, they Just presume I’m up to something else (“Sorry dude, I thought that you were busy…”) I want to be on every plane I see I want to be with a girl who's make-believe I don’t know who she is But with these specifications she just can’t exist, I'm Over it There's not much I can do About it I'll take a look at the view View, my window's closed The sky is blue but the air’s so cold, I'm Seasonal affective Winter can be depressing I don’t know what I’m supposed to do I don’t know how I really feel Maybe it will get better Improve with the weather I’m Over it (Maybe it will get better) I’m Over it (Improve with the weather) Take a look at the view View, my window's closed The sky is blue but the air’s so cold, I'm Seasonal affective Winter can be depressing I’m seasonal affective Winter is so depressing

Autophobia 02:37
Do I text her now, do I Tell her how I really feel? I just want her time, to take Up the space you used to fill She’s someone that's kind She helps seal the cracks that need to heal But she doesn’t fill my mind She distracts me from you It’s not ideal, but I’m lonely So lonely, I'm Lower than I’ve felt before And she just fills the time whilst I Set my body right Yeah, she fulfils a purpose but My feelings remain worthless all the while Wait, what is this? Is this a feeling, is it meaning? No, it's Guilty conscience That tells my body thats it's okay That I use her, just abuse her Her good nature, her good mind I guess the hate is due in some time The hate is due sometime soon I’m lonely So lonely, I'm Lower than I’ve felt before And she just fills the time whilst I Set my body right Yeah, I’m a bad person but My feelings remain worthless All the while I’m worthless all the while And all the while, you’re on my mind You’re the cause of all these sleepless nights She works as a distraction from Thoughts of countless fractions on The likelihood of you ever coming back 'Cause I’m lonely, I'm So lonely, I'm Lower than I’ve felt before And she just fills the time whilst I Set my body right Yeah, I’m a bad person but My feelings remain worthless All the While

I should like the way it feels Instead I make a big ordeal In a loud room, her perfume Alcohol was consumed Thought that I wanted to be there She played suit, no dispute But I looked for the escape route Decided to give up because of fear There’s so many places I would rather be Tell me why I waste my time here I don’t want to do this Please will you set me free? I think I might have lost my mind here I’ve been to this place before But that fact we will ignore I was in doubt, I reached out Asked her if she was about And ended up at her place again She wore a big frown Dressing gown I told her that I felt down And that's the reason that I was there I’ve got better places to be Yeah, I’ve got better places to be I used you, low in my self-esteem I’m sorry 'cause I know it was mean Yeah, I've got better places to be 'Cause there’s so many places, that I would rather be Tell me why I waste my time here I’m turning into someone That I don’t want to be I think I might have lost my mind here 'Cause I've got better places to be Yeah, I've got better places to be I used you, low in my self-esteem I'm sorry 'cause I know it was mean

Sat here in my room like I was, only yesterday Having the same thought as if, as if I meditate She's no longer on my mind, so that I can celebrate But I’m still stuck, in the back, like all I do is tailgate I just want to feel something But I just don’t know what it is Repeat the line again That part you said about staying friends But I, I won’t see you again You’re just another Facebook friend, yeah I, I won’t see you again You’re just another random text that I’ll ignore I don’t mind I don’t mind, I don’t mind It’s not like I’m looking for love But it's excuse, on excuse, on excuse that I’ll say When you wanna meet up Maybe no one’s right for me, opaque vision, hard to see My head tells me to let it be, lock the heart and throw the key I just sit here in my room, write about it in that book I need somebody’s company, so take me into custody I just want to feel something Repeat the line again That part you said about staying friends But I, I won’t see you again You’re just another Facebook friend, yeah I, I won’t see you again You’re just another random text I just want to feel something I just don’t know what it is Maybe no one’s right for me Maybe it was only she I need somebody’s company So take me into custody My head tells me to let it be Lock the heart and throw the key I just sit and feel lonely Thinking maybe no one’s right for me 'Cause maybe no one’s right for me (Maybe no one’s right for me) I just want to feel something Repeat the line again That part you said about staying friends But I I won’t see you again You’re just another Facebook friend, yeah I, I won’t see you again You’re just another random text that I’ll ignore

Salt 02:55
I stayed out a little too late last night I saw her, we haven’t spoken much in time I got one more drink though I’d had enough And then the taxi ride meant I spent too much I really wish I’d just stayed in to write This is my life Without you in it Her words rub the wounds like salt It's still hard, but not everything’s her fault Not everything’s her fault And I’d say I gave it all I got I worked hard but this isn’t what she wants Not everything’s her fault “I miss you,” she said to me I didn’t say much back 'cause I didn’t know the meaning She’d been drinking Woke up hungover and regret it? I hope you did Her words rub the wounds like salt It still hurts, but not everything’s her fault Not everything’s her fault And I’d say I gave it all I got I worked hard but this isn’t what she wants Not everything’s her fault And this was meant apologetic I feel so bad I blamed you and I regret it It makes me sad Her words rub the wounds like salt It still hurts, but not everything was my fault Everything was my fault? And you’d say you gave it all you’ve got But this conversation's old I don’t miss you any more This is my life Without you in it
6.
A moment of clarity I think I’m doing something right Harder for you to see 'Cause you're so short of sight Of what this all means to me 'Cause I can’t live my life Without doing what I like And I’ll be over here Far away from where you can reach Nobody else near I don’t wanna be part of your scene I keep barking like a dog 'cause I refuse to be a sheep Yeah, I’m barking like a dog 'cause I refuse to be a sheep The difference between you and me Is I believed in us Now the difference between you and me Is I believe in this Yeah, I believe in this And there’s all these excuses On why we won’t succeed Everyone has their own idea Of what it is we need But I’m more than happy Staying true to me I don’t really care for who you want me to be The difference between you and me Is I believed in us Now the difference between you and me Is I believe in this Distance and time Separated by state of mind I refuse to give up, I’m happy paying the fine 'Cause this is me and it will be until I die This is just what I need to get by The difference between you and me Is you gave up but I Won’t Now the difference between you and me Is I believe in this Yeah I believe in this Yeah I believe in this Yeah I believe in this (I keep barking like a dog 'cause I refuse to be a sheep)

Home 02:49
As I walk down this road I suddenly feel like I’m eleven years old The school bus would drop me home this way Was always thrilled to see the end of those days And now I walk down this road I can't believe I'm now twenty-four years old I see the kids who can't be more than half my age Soon to grow up and get away from this place Do you look out your window And see the boy who's always running around in circles? I’m running around in circles again Home You're just a building made out of earth, wood and stone Home You’re just a place where my parents live alone And as I think down this path Life is weird and it moves so fast, I see A girl I used to know from school She’s got two kids and her husband's on call Does she look out her window And see the boy who's still chasing his dreams, or Does she look out her window And see the boy who's always running around in circles? I’m running around in circles again Home You're just a building made of earth, wood and stone Home You’re just a place where my parents live alone But home This family needs you, more than you'll ever know And you can take me away But you can't take it from me Yeah you can take me away But you can't take it from me Home You're just a building made of earth, wood and stone Home You’re just a place where my parents live alone But home This family needs you, more than you'll ever know More than you’ll ever know

Antagonist 02:39
You What did you expect me to do? You could have at least seen this through It's true, there is no excuse Getting rid of guilty conscience By blaming it on someone, but Who? This doesn't lie with anyone but you Taking all the things you’ll never be With me, just what you foresee Personified your problems By blaming them on someone Fist felt so tight, my teeth were clenched A sudden shot of adrenaline to the head How dare you think, you can just come back like that? Labelled it friendship, like you thought I'd understand And it might be something new for you But you can’t pick me up as And when you choose Is that Not obvious? Is that obvious? You What did you want me to do? Always looking for escape routes Cut me loose, I can't choose what you do Run away from every problem 'Cause you don’t want to face them, no You’ll play the part of the antagonist You’re just another victim on the list How dare you think, you can just come back like that? Labelled it friendship, like you thought I'd understand And it might be something new for you But you can’t pick me up as and when you choose Is that not obvious? Is that obvious?

Hard Days 02:21
Ever get the feeling Ever get the feeling that you have no meaning? Work until you are dead Earn a wage just so you can go to bed Give up on that life plan that you set out in your head Ever get the feeling Ever get the feeling that you can’t be dealing With stressful doubts that Make doing things just seem like a chore? Then punish yourself for not doing anything at all Everybody has their breaking point It’s been a hard day, yeah It’s been a hard day, yeah It’s been a hard day's wondering how they got it all It’s been a hard day's thinking where on earth I went wrong Well, everybody looking Like you just said something crazy “Give up the dream now, come on kid you’re only wasting Your precious time, these thoughts are not for you and I You don’t have what you want, but you’ve got what you need” Well, I wish I wish This was easy And I wish I wish We’d get payback for what we’ve put in It’s been a hard day, yeah It’s been a hard day, yeah It’s been a hard day wondering how they got it all We worked for this but maybe we just don’t belong? It’s been a hard day, yeah It’s been a hard day, yeah It’s been a hard day wondering how they have it all It’s been a hard day thinking where on earth I went wrong

Disavowal 03:34
Take a look, take a look Tell me: what do you see? I’ll find a hook, find a hook 'Cause it's all that I need I’d be Careful When you’d be There for me Did you make me up in your head? An ideal version of who I am? Now it’s like I didn’t even exist You didn’t mean it You didn’t mean it Take a drink, take a drink That was always your way I’ll have a think, have a think Talk to you Another day I’ve been Trying My hardest To move on To someone That I like Who helps me Now you’re gone I’ll pretend that you don’t even exist You didn’t mean it You didn’t mean it The distance means you're far away I’ll likely never see you again You didn’t mean it I’ve been Trying My hardest To move on Yeah, I’ve been Trying My hardest To move on Yeah, I’ve been Trying My hardest To move on Yeah, I’ve been Trying My hardest To move on To move on The distance means you're far away I’ll likely never see you again You didn't mean it You didn’t mean it You did…

I woke up in this tomb And decided living was a problem with you, 'cause Everything I’ve ever said Is something you’ve done, something you’ve already read I’m not good enough, you’ve had it much better, much better Before Da-da, da-da, da-da-da da da-da Da-da, da-da, da-da I woke up in my room The day after racing, my heart was still pacing So, so I called you up But your friends are much better, it needs to be better So, please, Now I’m giving up Let's see you win this one; be my guest, and win this one from me 'Cause everything I’ve ever done You’ve done better And every place I’ve ever gone You’ve been there before But now I’m giving up, are you giving up better? Better? Oh, now I’m giving up, are you giving up better? I think it's better you did Da-da, da-da, da-da-da da da-da Da-da, da-da, da-da 'Cause everything I’ve ever done, you’ve done better And every place I’ve ever gone You’ve been there before But now I’m giving up, are you giving up better? Better? Oh, now I’m giving up, are you giving up better? I think it's better you did Da-da, da-da, da-da-da da da-da

Breathe Breathe like you mean it The touch of your fingers Tell me you’ve seen this before Because you and me We have no meaning But it's better than laying alone as I stare at the ceiling (Stare at the ceiling) Yeah, you were the difference Defeated by distance And now I Will pay the consequences Give me more, give me more Give me more, give me more Give me more Yeah You were the difference Defeated by distance And now I Just dose up on oxytocin to get by Yeah, I’m Doing fine Is that all that you’ve got? All that you’ve got? Is that all that you’ve got? All that you’ve got?
