Sectioned By The Weekend 05:45
lyrics
buy track
You've been jumping off the deep end Seen you ride the tidal wave Sectioned by the weekend Stay safe It's time to face the truth You're a shadow of the man we looked up to So play the songs that take you somewhere new The melody's the darkest shade of blue So play the songs that take you somewhere new Heard you cracked up in the East End Found you phased out in your car Sectioned by the weekend Gone too far It's time to face the truth You're a shadow of the man we looked up to So play the songs that take you somewhere new The melody's the darkest shade of blue So play the songs that take you somewhere new Sectioned by the weekend Sectioned by the weekend It's time to face the truth You're a shadow of the man we looked up to So play the songs that take you somewhere new The melody's the darkest shade of blue So play the songs that take you somewhere new You're a shadow of the man we looked up to So play the songs that take you somewhere new

Didn't You 04:43
lyrics

Words flowed like a river Your voice was the siren's call Those songs gave us shivers (shivers sent way up the spine) Bereft when you left it all You gave up Didn't you (now you're out on your own) You gave up Didn't you Didn't you You shone in the half-light Pure joy found in shadowplay But you froze in the spotlight (had to escape from the glare) The end game - such a sad display You gave up Didn't you (now you're out on your own) You gave up Didn't you Didn't you Now you hide where there's no light (burned all the bridges you made) No no no You gave up Didn't You (now you're out on your own) You gave up didn't you Didn't you You gave up Didn't you (now you're out on your own) You gave up Didn't you Didn't you

Falling Down 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Feel beaten up Been crawling all around the room Can't go out Won't go out Another day To fuck my life away round here Got my reasons Got my demons Every day In every way I'm falling All those schemes and little things And I'm falling down The Sun shines on But there's a cloud around my head It's the same one Always been there Every day In every way I'm falling All those schemes and little things And I'm falling down I'm reaching out Searching for something I can cling to Find a way to see you Every day In every way I'm falling All those schemes and little things And I'm falling down

Code Words 04:38
lyrics
buy track
See ya I won't look back It's the last night Of this remorseless attack There's threat in all you say It's the tell-tale sign of love's decay Unravelling your codewords Makes me sad Never heard such cold words Fall from your mouth Secrets Revealed in light And insults Hidden in plain sight You meant the world to me There's a deep, dark void where your heart should be Unravelling your codewords Makes me sad Never heard such cold words Fall from your mouth Unravelling your codewords Makes me sad Never heard such cold words Fall from your mouth

Rest Easy, Mikey 04:29
lyrics

Words fail me I've lost my way I used to have so much to say The wonder left me I took the fall There is no magic, after all Will you miss me when I'm gone? I've lost the will to carry on Will you miss me when I'm gone? I aimed much higher Than I could reach Forgot to practice all I preach Will you miss me when I'm gone? I've lost the will to carry on Will you miss me when I'm gone? Say you won't and I can rest easy Say you won't and I will easy Will you miss me when I'm gone? I've lost the will to carry on Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you miss me when I'm gone? I've lost the will to carry on Will you miss me when I'm gone? Rest easy, Mikey Rest easy, Mikey

Bless You All 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I've been living in the park I tried hiding in Iraq I use my lighter in the dark Uh oh, no spark I joined a cult in southern Spain And I tried singing in the rain To kill the feedback in my brain Good god, insane I see the critics taking note Of the thesis what I wrote And now the sharks are at my throat Gonna need a bigger boat Bless you all for saving me Bless you all for saving me I've been where angels dare not tread But now I stay at home instead But I lose track of what I've said And I lose track of what I've said Wish I could melt hearts like Bardot And write like Edgar Allan Poe And time a hook like Jersey Joe And find Sav Ramundo Bless you all for saving me Bless you all for saving me Bless you all for saving me Bless you all for loving me

Cooling by the water Drifting by and by We work with no agenda Never question why Dreams die Stay high Sparks fly Stay High Looking for direction There's nowhere to go Karma's gonna get ya If you don't let it flow Tears dry Stay high Years fly Stay high Lo-fi Stay high Glide by Stay high Blue sky Stay high you, I Stay high

The Only Things That Matter 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Four walls stare you down Sleep on, perchance to drown Cut out all the noise and chatter And hear the only things that matter The voices of the ones you love who care Reeling, adrift all day Healing seems miles away Sometimes, you despair Wishing that life played fair Callous fools deceive and flatter So feel the only things that matter Like Summer storms spent walking in the rain Spent walking in the rain Sinking, lost in regret Drinking til you forget Fragile hearts they age and shatter So keep the only things that matter Like memories you made when you were young Callous fools deceive and flatter So feel the only things that matter Like Summer storms spent walking in the rain Spent walking in the rain Spent walking in the rain

I Don't Like You Anymore 07:34
lyrics
buy track
I've considered this for a spell And I think I've just cause To place our relationship On a permanent pause All those years that you hassled me Have taken their toll You're just a parasite You feed on my soul, yeah I don't like you anymore It's not a passing phase I'll hate you til my dying days The insults you hurled at me They cut to the bone And all the ideas I had You claimed as your own You said you were Working Class And your parents are dead But you went to a Public School And they live on the Med, oh I don't like you anymore Just to make it clear My heart sinks when you're near, no... I don't like you anymore You're just a vicious fool And you're spiteful and you're cruel If you were American By some twist of fate You'd be a republican And those fuckers I hate, yeah I don't like you anymore Just to make it clear My heart sinks when you're near, no... I don't like you anymore You're just a vicious fool And you're spiteful and you're cruel, no... I don't like you anymore It's not a passing phase I'll hate you til my dying days

A Brief Reflection 01:57
lyrics
buy track
The promises we made Got broken, I'm afraid The memories don't fade Even though we're far apart You're always in my head and my heart I loved you from the start Whenever I'm downcast I find comfort in the past The years fly by so fast I had so much more to say But life got in the way I hope that you're okay We'll meet again someday
