You seem so different, you see things differently.
I don’t see anything, it’s all the same to me.
Help with the future, be who you want to be.
You seem so different, you are so distant.
[chorus]
Oh, I’m in love with everyone and everything,
I’m impressed by anyone, don’t you see?
You’re in touch with everyone, except for me.
You are the difference, you mean so much to me.
I can sit by you, give you some company,
feed me with wisdom, then pour out the hurtful truth.
Pretend you’re in love with me, just cos I’m in love with you.
[chorus]
I need some distance, you’ll take it comfortably,
--
--
I want to change you, but I’d have to change me too.
[chorus]
[I’m in touch with everyone, without LSD]

White Shadow (Demo)
02:31
|

|
White shadow is a bliss in the fog.
Can you tell me what u want, seems u wanted it all?
She’s a dreamer, she’s a dream, she’s a fucking fake fantasy.
Dark purple velvet at the back of your eye.
If you think too loud can you hear me at all?
If the sun dries out my plant pot, my pot plant dies.
So why, if everything’s alright, am I still waiting for something to happen?
Phosphenes, back of my eye,
I see shapes and things I haven’t seen in a while.
Phosphenes, will u take me to sleep and wake me up when I forget that I’m dreaming?
All I needed was to sink for a while.
A white shadow is a kiss in the dark,
even when I’m with you I miss you a lot.
You’re a dreamer, you’re a dream, you’re a fucking fake fantasy.
[solo]
So why, if everything’s alright, am I still waiting for something to happen?
Phosphenes, back of my eye,
I see shapes and things I haven’t seen in a while.
We were in the back seat, who invited Mandy?
Cos, I died, and u cried all night.
All u needed was to sink for a while.

Fuck You Got Me (Demo)
02:24
|
|||
|
Fuck, you got me so in love,
I can’t help but go insane,
try and hold it in so long,
comes across that I’m in pain,
pain again...
[chorus]
Too good to be true,
too good to be true,
my love,
we’re too soon to be through.
Too good to be true,
too good to be true,
man, I never knew,
how much you’d been through.
Losing you is just my luck,
I’ve only got me to blame,
I just seem to hurt my love,
she don’t know how much I care,
care for her...
[chorus]
[how much I love you.]
I seem to say what I think and
say what I want
although I can see straight through you,
you see through me too.
Back of my mind
is in touch with the
tip of my tongue.
I think of you every day babe,
but not every night.
You’re never what I dream of,
I dream of my wife and my 3 kids.

Irrelevant (Demo)
00:36
|
|||
|
I laze around.
I, I’ve become unhelpful.
I seem so irrelevant.

4 Chord Future (Demo)
03:05
|
|||
|
There’s no four-chord future,
it’s just two right now.
When I wonder why,
I wonder how.
There’s no stupid answer,
there’s no reason why,
all I need is luck
to buy me time.
They’re so far away, uncontrollably in control of me.
I’m so far away, living by the day,
and I refuse to pay them.
There’s a Gucci army
with their branded eyes.
When I wonder how,
I wonder why.
And they set their price tag
covered in disguise,
I’m too fucking lazy
to compromise.
[chorus]
There’s a four-chord future
in this monopoly
and I’d rather get my,
tomatoes free.

Honeycomb (Demo)
03:22

There's this thing I've been talking to, sharing words for a while.
It's not something you'd get close to, unless it showed you a smile.
It's got stranger things on its mind, so why do I try?
I tell you it's something different, and I'm your average guy.
[chorus]
It's got the touch of an angel, but the bite of a snake.
When you feel like you're getting closer it pushes you away.
What it says is real, oh, takes your words away,
and when you think you've had enough, it'll ask you to stay, ask you to stay.
An incomplete reflection, I didn't look the same.
Face sunk to the sea bed, I played the waiting game.
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? 'Cos, I think mines out.
And nowadays there’s no happy endings, I’m just left in doubt.
[chorus]
[and when you think you've had enough x3, it'll ask you to stay.]

Why do I bore you, are you preoccupied?
How about I ignore your unsatisfied eyes?
Try to convince me that we’re not all that great,
but maybe it’s you that causes our minds to stray?
Why do I bore you? (xN)
[verse again]

She smiles like a shark,
welcoming with her teeth,
jaw bites down to draw blood
from the ripe green leaf.
Don't like the texture of my heart,
trapped, like prey, no escape.
Everyone else is fine,
it’s just my fear, a lonely state.
[chorus]
I stare into the clouds; my story starts to unfold.
Feeling like a freak and I’m crying once a week.
I need to change the scenery, come and lie down here on the green with me.
Afraid of offending the trees and I’m afraid of the psycho in me.
It seems bad in your head,
just get out of bed.
Your waking up asleep
and sleeping in your dreams.
Everything is real,
at least that’s how it feels.
Who is right and who's wrong?
(Chorus)
Please help me,
I’m in need,
I'm hard to please
I don't bleed.

Cristiano (Demo)
03:44
|
|||
|
I had to go outside,
the very thought of that sofa made me sick.
Laziness took over
and in the darkness, you can’t cast a shadow.
We all rely, we all rely on people,
passers-by,
we all rely, we all rely on people.
I sat down,
the curb was dry like my thoughts.
I,
I watched the cars go by,
anticipation of nothing.
The sun
lights up the moon, changes its face.
We all rely, we all rely on people.
We all rely, we all rely on people,
passers-by,
we all rely,
passers-by,
we all rely, we all rely on people
‘Cos I’ll never cast - light or shadow.
I won’t change the - face of anything.
‘Cos I’ll never change - can’t be greater.
Yeah, I’ll never be - Cristiano Ronaldo.
He walked up to me and he said,
Wanna buy some leaves?
