Leave 03:54
Leave Seems to me, you’ve got no alibi Don’t need your stories, so don’t even try Cause I ain’t buying so don’t waste your time It’s gone too far, much too far it’s gone this time Lately things haven’t been the same I’m breaking up but I don’t feel your pain If you can’t see me, it’s cause I’ve had to change And now it’s gone, I don’t want it back again Why don’t you leave, leave me alone. You keep on telling me that you could change Well I’m tired of playing all your little games D’ya find the answer in that bottle again Well drink it up, turn around and walk away Why don’t you leave, leave me alone

Let It Out 03:19
Let It Out As seasons go I can’t help feeling bad But as it goes it’s the best we’ve ever had If there’s a way that I can see it through Not run away just like cowards do Let it out, let it out, let it out It’s in my head. It’s in my head Let it out, let it out, let it out So if i find myself alone at last And free to see the big world going past With all my fears now ok to face Then fold away burning up to space.

Outside Inside Outside inside it’s all the same Your side my side they’re both to blame Moonlight daytime both in the rain High tide, low tide nothing has changed Keep on going out of our way Always wondering whether to say It’s all gone, let’s call it a day But there’s a thread that carries through That hold me back to be with you Keep on moving with each day that goes Time is wandering where nobody knows Found that place where nothing can grow But there’s a thread that carries through That hold me back to be with you

Grog Song 03:39
Grog Song Should try and get up outside To clear up the inside But feeling kinda nervous And got no room for others Walk away the day-mares Ignoring all the strange stares I know it’s only so long Before I get the first one When I get on the grog and my head turns to fog As I stand at the bar when I’ve had a 10 jar Then I sit with a mate in a catatonic state And feel nothing. Forgot about the down-time That’s haunted me since daylight Now it’s high on moonshine Not stopping ‘til the first light “I really feel the pressure” said the old professor man who tries to find a formula to keep alive a man With life so hedonistic we need all the help we can Had my cake and ate it. Drunk away the nightmares Laffing at the strange stares Time is spinning, whizzing on Don’t want to have my last one

Worm 04:07
Worm Had a dream, like nothing before I could see, touch and hear just like it was real Took my hand, tried to lead me out through the wall Felt the pull, I got scared so I had to let go Why are you waiting Why are you waiting What are you waiting for I was blind like a worm, digging the earth I can't feel which way's right and the darkness it grows Sucks me dry, all these highs, get me out of this hole I can't seem to break free, so I'm spiralling down Why are you waiting Why are you waiting What are you waiting for

Natural Girl 03:05
Natural Girl She is a natural girl Gives me a natural high A twilight dream I remember When it came to my head 2010 in November And the music said It’s all just an illusion I try to say to myself To stop the confusion ‘Cause you’re with someone else Keep fighting confusion Keeps me awake at night I’m not saying I’m losing I just don’t know what’s right.

Let Love In 03:54
Let Love In I’m not sure that I should say I do Think I might be feeling love for two I’ve let new love in Fool I must have been But there is no way my heart will let go. I’ve been hoping that my heart will change But I’m still waiting it won’t go away I’ve let new love in Fool I must have been But there is no way my heart will say no.

Armageddon V 02:47
Armageddon V Strange allusion has my head in a spin Was that you intention again Armageddon vs End of The World Which one is going to win Nothing happened on the way to nowhere So how did we end up back here This heavy weather keeps on bringing me down When is it going to clear I know that it seems so real But that’s how it’s meant to feel I wish that I could reach you But you’ve got to work it out on your own Work it out on your own You can tell it like the way that it is Perhaps then we’ve got a chance to see Armageddon vs End of The World The gloves are off, the whistle’s blown, let’s see. I know that it seems so real But that’s how it’s meant to feel I wish that I could reach you But you’ve got to work it out on your own Got to work it out on your own Got to work it out on your own Got to work it out on your own

Bubble Intro 00:34

Bubblegum 02:40
Bubblegum Imagination got my head in a spin; Too many thoughts to choose, to choose one to win. Out of nothing, a light starts to grin And takes away the surface to reveal what's in. Imagination got me up and then down, I'm swinging left then right, in, out and around. So tell me God: is an answer allowed? I'd like to scream but I'm alone in the crowd. Imagination got me all in a twist; Nothing is clear with the dreams that I wished. A bang of thunder, like a table and fist That make me wake up, shake up, coming out of the mist. Imagination got me all inside out; I'm saying nothing and I swallow in doubt. I'd like to scream but I can't let it out, Drowning in cider with a bubblegum belt.

Across The Days Please don’t keep me from sleep tonight My mind is aching and I don’t want this fight What’s left has gone, what’s right The thought to carry on Anger to the core for all that’s passed before So please don’t keep me from sleep tonight Waiting in the starlight for the morning Waiting in the starlight for the morning As the dark infests your soul It’s free of love and free of hope Loneliness is like a grave That’s measured out in ceaseless waves Across the days Please don’t keep me from sleep tonight My mind is aching and I don’t want this fight Words just words, crawling round in my head Is it any wonder I undo the things I’ve said So please don’t keep me from sleep tonight Waiting in the starlight for the morning Waiting in the starlight for the morning As the dark infests your soul It’s free of love and free of hope Loneliness is like a grave That’s measured out in ceaseless waves Across the days Across the days

Début album

Recorded in an empty room, in a deserted tower,
between the hours of day and night, and night and day,
with no idea of what we were aiming to achieve.
