NO CONTROL 02:21
This sure wasn’t part of the plan No more than a shell of a man A few habit are all thats left Routine all thats is youre head Aint got the energy to make it out Feeling out of place Like you’re from out of space Got no control The edge is getting closer you’re gonna fall
2.
DEVOTEE 02:26
I’m a devotee of the man I saw on TV Wouldn’t you believe I found a way for my cash to save me Lost patience, switch stations I think I need a 30-day money-back guarantee I’ve got an itch that I can’t reach I’m just shaking in my seat I’ve got trouble on my mind and a wreath at my feet You’re worried about climate change? Just sign this sheet The petition’s drafted The campaign’s launched Ditch the baby with the bath, I don’t gotta worry cause I’m banking on change dot org I’ve got an itch that I can’t reach I’m just shaking in my seat I don’t really want to know Just how far I have to go I’ve got an itch that I can’t reach I’m just shaking in my seat I’ve got a wheezing in my chest Got some demons I can’t best I’m stumbling on my feet
3.
NOT AROUND 03:25
I wanna do something I wanna say something But I don’t know what to do And I don’t know what to say Can someone tell me what to do? Can something tell me what to say? Cause I don’t know what to do And I don’t know what to say So I’ll just fall back down Cause there ain’t nothing that can make me feel no better now that you’re not around
4.
You’re always on my back You’re on it everyday And everywhere I go You’re always in my way And nobody came Came to see our show And whats worst of all My internets so slow I’m mad, I’ve had more than I can take I’m mad, yeah I’m mad as a cut snake
5.
HIGH HOPES 02:31
My hopes were high My intentions were good But I just can’t do What I know I should My hopes were high My intentions were good But now I can’t do what I should
6.
I want a reason I want to be shown What I’m doing ‘cause I just don’t know I want a reason and I want to feel Like theres a point tell me what’s the deal What’s the deal? Tell me Should I carry on or just give up now? I want to figure it out and do it right but I just don’t know how
7.
GIVE IT UP 02:19
Frustrated Stressed out It’s what I’ve been thinking about I’m in then I’m out I need your help to turn it around Drop out I just might I’m too lazy to do things right I could easily do a lot more Sometimes I think what’s it all for? Try do what I can but I know it ain’t enough Try do what I can maybe I’ll just give it up Frustrated Stressed out It’s what been thinking about I’m up then I’m down I need your help for this to work out
8.
MEMORIES 02:14
When you look back The bad outweighs the good The pieces don't line up Like you think they should But I remember your face Down by the blackbutt tree The smell of that place The wind in the leaves My memories are making it hard for me My memories aren't what they ought to be So now you think I'm hack And that I'm up to no good I know my logic don't line up Like I wish it would But I remember your face And I remember that tree I still remember that taste It never leaves Interlude
9.
INTERLUDE 01:25
10.
SCRATCHING 01:44
When I move I sneak When I speak I screech Underneath my feet These rocks are filled with bones Mind is torn to pieces Put back into useless shape I’m a human drone Everybody just leave me alone It’s hard to stay on your feet When you’re living in a world that’s full of creeps that will rip you off if they get half a chance And i cant get to sleep cos im living in a world that full of creeps And they'll rip me off if they get half a chance

Hey you with the dead eyes All bile and spit I wonder what it would take to make you break I wonder how you would split With safe hands and a plan to make it rich? Or strapped for cash on your knees Begging to be let back in? I had to unpick every stitch Cause that's what it takes to make it stick Five times I've wound up in this ditch Climb back out for a little conversation end up aching now I want back in Cause six degrees ain't enough to keep me sane Lord I need the power, just an hour, cause I'm tired of keeping you at bay I had to unpick every stitch Cause that's what it takes to make it stick You gotta show your face then get out quick Yeah that's what it takes to make it stick
