In the war of independence that you fought with your parents The casualties have soured the victories Now you can do anything you choose But you wish someone would look after you At least until it all settles down Draw a breath to intoxicate Draw a breath from the souls you hate Why did you stay did they force your hand? Or are you too dazed to take a stand? Soon we'll be raising families of our own I suppose that there's no need for us to be treated like children But my adulthood's still in its infancy And I wish someone would look after me At least until it's all settled down And I just can't prepare myself So I must endeavour again The women and children saved themselves So it's me and the broken men Me and the broken men With no day left to save We took a walk outside

Don't move it, keep steady This light will flicker out Make space and stay ready Start burning all my doubts Now you broke another day into tiny little parts Line them up and call it art And I'm ready to display but you've stolen my designs Wasting paper, tracing lines When you're throwing all the coins Tripping up the marching bands Taking time to understand There's a smile around your face And a glow inside your heart Light it up and lead the way back to the start Now you broke another day into tiny little parts And you broke another day into tiny little parts Don't see it below me When someone showed me I don't see it below me When someone showed me When someone showed me how Don't move it, keep steady This light will flicker out, it'll flicker out Make space and stay ready Start burning all my doubts Burning all my doubts

Watch me in dusk light, iridescent to you Desaturate into black and white It'll get better soon And I'm still the same, I just blunted all my senses Forgot all that I'd leave behind The blast of hot air only clouded up the lens Now there's nothing that I'd magnify Slow silence settles down into a note that you can hear Don't break that brittle sound When your heart explodes into fear Send me your message, shines a light into view It wasn't much but when you said this There was nothing to choose And I'm still the same I just blunted all my senses Forgot all that I'd leave behind The blast of hot air only clouded up the lens And I just had to open my eyes

Yoruba 03:51
My slow motion escape stuck in cowardice A ten hour mistake, trying to persist I don't know what I'm doing I don't know what I'm doing here Solace in hot plastic sends me to the floor Hard to get past this, but sent in to perform Send me back to sleep Knock me out When I wake at home with only love around Here's an empty soul But my hopes are filled with you Beauty all alone and easy to resist When every message reminds me what I miss
5.
Compensate for rainy days Always bound to fail You were always bound to fail Always bound to fail Losing touch with solid ground You couldn't get away No you couldn't get away Couldn't get away In the house where you lost all the pieces The light shone behind you yesterday No more room left to house all the people Who couldn't get away

See my favourite sunrise Still holding hands And I’m looking to change my reasons My hopes and all these strange demands You can't take them, except this present company You say I’m hard to please I don’t want to see them go I’ll just change the way it’s meant to be And then I’ll have to leave I don’t want to face my own company Noises you make Now I see what you are All these days I've been shining lights on faces To stop the passing cars And I'm hoping to change this present company You say I’m hard to please I don’t want to see them go I’ll just change the way it’s meant to be And then I’ll have to leave I don’t want to face my own company So I change my reasons and face my own company I don't want to see you go

Philosophy 03:42
Time to waste Pat down hair that's out of place Straighten up the crease that climbs Up from shirt to face Take a rest Did someone say you look your best Use the data from your head Not what's inside your chest Got to let it settle you down Turns doctors into clowns Philosophy can't be based around me We're in this together, together Hold on to your beliefs Keep them clenched in your teeth We're in this together, together Bite your tongue Try to think of words to songs Calculate the length of time To get back where you belong Make a list of all the towns Where we could settle down
8.
Battles I won with grace and valour Broken, bruised, seeing two It doesn’t matter today We only have to fight When the atmosphere sucks all our breath And there’s nothing left to do Today’s black and blue Sometimes, they can deceive the faithful And they’re hounding you But you’ll pull through and turn the tables today Today’s black and blue The sun came out The sun came out But today’s black and blue
9.
There's not much to tell you A half empty showroom Now they've taken all I know And these scraps of paper They won't navigate you So head off and aim for home Arms are there to hold you when you land If I seem distracted just clap your hands I don't need answers, just the time we have Take those dreams, get them back Red and blue flowers Painted white and black Take those dreams get them back My declarations, I just won't retract Packaged up, get them back I don't need answers, just the time we have Take those dreams, get them back Red and blue flowers Don't paint them white and black Take those dreams get them back You don't need to show me

Man-Made 04:46
Send myself to sleep I can see tempers frayed My nature depletes All that’s left is man-made This conflict's getting tired There’s nothing left But I can’t let hope retire and take second best Forced through spinnerets My senses lost in the air Try to catch this thread But I'm finding it hard to care This conflict's getting tired There’s nothing left But I can’t let hope retire and take second best So I fight to the death I’m not scared I’m not scared I’ve got a heart that’s strong It’s where I belong My confidence is rising They’ve got a king to hail Now you’ve gone into hiding And I live to tell the tail And now I’m falling asleep
