You know
You got me where you want me
You know
You corrupt my bloodstream
You mean everything to me
I let the world burn around me
All the love I can’t forget
My dirty hands are all I’ve left
In a parallel of time
I’d be yours
You'd still be mine
In the contents of my veins
There's a place where you remain
Take me down where you go
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Take me down where you go
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Take me down where you go
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Take me down where you go I go
I know
You got me where you want me
I know
You corrupt my bloodstream
I run away to show I care
You arrive and I’ll be there
I turn to you to numb the pain
A thousand thoughts without a frame
You're the devil in my mind
The only answer I could find
You're the driver at the wheel
My Addiction
All I feel
Take me down where you go
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Take me down where you go
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Take me down where you go
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Take me down where you go I go

Staring at the sea with your life packed into a bag
And everything you loved is everything you’ve ever had
You try to find a friend but there’s nobody left
Everyone you’ve lived with has lived to regret
The pennies that you made couldn’t afford your thoughts
You press reset and hope your mind forgets
And you can go your own way
Wake up in a different place
But I am glad if you are glad
To be the son you never had
The conversations that you started have always outgrown you
The people that you owe are the people that own you
You look around your home it’s a foreign place
You ask them for a loan and they laugh in your face
But I will always reach out to find your hand
It only takes the one to turn the wall into sand
I will always reach out to find your hand
You press reset and hope your mind forgets
And you can go your own way
Wake up in a different place
But I am glad if you are glad
To be the son you never had
And can go the long way
We’ll reconnect a different day
But I am glad if you are glad
To be the son you never had
I will dream about you
And keep you alive
I will dream about you
I will dream without you
And you can go your own way
Wake up in a different place
But I am glad if you are glad
To be the son you never had
And can go the long way
We’ll reconnect a different day
But I am glad if you are glad
To be the son you never had
I will dream about you
And keep you alive
I will dream about you
And keep you alive
I will dream about you
And keep you alive
I will dream about you
I will dream without you

Heart of a Nation
03:58

A mother in a hotel
Raising her kids
They're not on holiday
How did it end up this way?
Sleeping in a Garda station
Watching her kids as they're led away
She calls out to say
I’ll be there for you
If you're there for me too
Make sure you look after each other
And take care of your sister and brother
Sleeping in a Garda station
Living at the heart of a first world nation
A business man looking for planning permission
He wants to build a hotel and run us out of our homes
He can't do it alone
He gets there with another Irish tradition
A brown envelope to the man that’s on the throne
With a letter that he wrote
I’ll be there for you
If you're there for me too
We can look after each other
Just like sister and brother
We'll never see a Garda station
Living your life at the Heart of a Nation
Fianna Fáil Fine Gail
Fianna fucking all the same
A sociopath never cries
We hanged ourselves for a lullaby
Fianna Fáil Fine Gail
Fianna fucking all the same
Fill your pockets while you can
Give yourselves a raise again
A daughter in a doorway
Bloodshot eyes and head full of history
A lifetime of misery
She shivers as the methadone subsides
A car pulls up and a voice fills the night
From the passenger side
I’ll be there for you
If you're there for me too
We can look after each other
Just like two young lovers
Sleeping in Connolly Station
Living your life at the Heart of a Nation
I’ll be there for you
If you're there for me too
We can look after each other
Just like sister and brother
Sleeping in a Garda station
Living at the heart of a first world nation

House Voice

You say you sleep around because he always lets you down
I’m glad I made it here today
To bring you back from far away
When I’m around
Try using your house voice
You won’t get another choice from me
Get into my car
We’ll drive around the town and find the faces
Of the ones who always seem to let you down
Get out of my heart
You’ve been dragging the four walls down around you
Ever since the day I found you
My unrequited light
My undivided time
And all the best the I have
Was all just wasted on you
You say you cut your hands on a mirror made of sand
Well no one ever understood your thoughts
Especially the mind you said you lost
When things are grey
Remember what you’d always say
You said you’d always give your life for me
Get into my car
We’ll drive around the town and find the faces
Of the ones who always seem to let you down
Get out of my heart
You’ve been dragging the four walls down around you
Ever since the day I found you
My unrequited light
My undivided time
And all the best the I have
Was all just wasted on you

Momentum

I love the morning
I love the light
I love to wake up
With you by my side
I get defeated
I get denied
The only reason
I’m still alive
So take the love
We’re starting to gain momentum
I’m dreaming of
Of a love like this
Am I enough?
I start to regain consciousness
I’m dreaming of
Of a love like this
I need the morning
I need the light
I need to wake up
With you by my side
So take the love
We’re starting to gain Momentum
I’m dreaming me of
Of a love like this
Am I enough?
I start to regain consciousness
I’m dreaming of
Of a love like this
What would you do for a love like this?

Imposter Syndrome

You’re taking your time
I thought we could go with this
You’re changing my mind
I thought I was in control of this
But I’m lagging behind
I’m lagging behind
It must be my mind
And if I’m just a waster
Then you’ve been holding the hand of a waster all this time
And you keep stealing my lines
I was going to say the same thing about you
I bet if both of us try
We could never unravel you
Do you not think I want to stop counting these bottle tops
Sand paper in my hand hurt every time I ran
Notions and potions dilute my emotions
We’re looking but nothing is clear
And I’ve tried I’ve tried I’ve tried I’ve tried
You never made a mistake
I didn’t beat a path to get to you
So they could take my place
You’ll be lonely
Without me
You’ll see
That you’re nothing like me
I cry ‘cause I can’t speak
And I’ve tried I’ve tried I’ve tried I’ve tried
You never made a mistake
I didn’t beat a path to get to you
So they could take my place
I’m lagging behind
I’m lagging behind
It must be my mind

Feet Don't Fail Me Now
05:34

Well I don’t want to hurt somebody
That taught me how to breathe
And burned me like a poisoned body
And pushed me out to sea
You raised me, did you raise me right?
Same personality with different eyes
I try to forget but cant compromise
Those memories
Those memories
I’m unconscious when I’m around you
Soul assassin with a different rear view
Deliver your smile when you deliver your lies
Memories
Those memories
We’ll wait in line
But they just won’t let us in
As long as there is two of us
Then the two of us will win
We’ll break the line
Before we ever learn to swim
If our feet touch the bottom
We won’t know what life can bring
Feet don’t fail me
Don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me
Feet don’t fail me
Don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me
A song that kept us all together
We suddenly can’t sing
So blame me on the darker weather
A different system brings
We’re changing
All of the codes
We‘re breaking all of the moulds
So won’t you please just sympathise with me
I’m caught by my emotion
Relinquished to the tide
And I’m tired of fighting nature for someone else’s pride
So you just sit and criticise me

Here With You
05:25
|

If I could take your photographic memory from it’s frame
Take these pills so you won’t ever have to feel again
I’m above with a view to approach
It’s too late to be saved
How many lightbulb moments will it take for me to change?
(If I could make the whole world laugh)
And everything I want is here with you
(If I could make the whole world laugh)
And everything I need is here with you
(If I could make the whole world laugh)
And everything I want
Corridors of failure with a no for every year
A no for every effort
That’s a no just to be clear
A constant dream to struggle
Continuation of the hurt
A body that is broken and a mind fit to give up
(If I could make the whole world laugh)
And everything I want is here with you
(If I could make the whole world laugh)
And everything I need is here with you
(If I could make the whole world laugh)
And everything I want is here with you
I get back and you run away
I would recreate it and you would stay
If I thought I had a chance to make you happy
Don’t tell anyone we parted
The stones will laugh as the wave recharges
Reality doesn’t always have to win
If I could make the whole world laugh
We’d celebrate in life

The Day Has Won
04:11
|

I’m like the clothes that you used to wear
The smell of John Player can’t get out of your hair
A line in the sand just before you could cope
Expensive whiskey mixed with cheap coke
I love your sadness
I need the fun
The night is waiting
The day has won
And I
I’ve been crucified
Can I’ve a quick word with you outside?
You will always be my special bride
Who knows what goes on right behind the door
Keep me in your head and I’ll hurt you more
Let’s leave our heads tonight
Because we’re not half dead we’re half alive
And the ground beneath your feet
Has become a battle ground for me
The atmosphere has changed in the room
I’m like a lunatic circling you
The atmosphere has changed in our lives
I’ll take my circling outside
I’ll cry into my whiskey to prove you wrong
I’m getting emotional
The day has won
So let’s leave our heads tonight
Because we’re not half dead we’re half alive
And the ground beneath your feet
Has become a battle ground for me
I’ll be good to you
Just don’t walk into doors
And when you run me over
I’ll try to ignore
And we’ll leave our heads tonight
Because we’re not half dead we’re half alive
And the ground beneath your feet
Has become a battle ground for me
No one ever put a gun against your head
You walked in here and you didn’t need any help
But look at you now you need somebody else
You need somebody else
You need somebody else

Fake Life
05:12
|
|||
|
So keep secrets
Keep the hurt
Don’t give anything away
Keep quiet
Keep strong
Don’t let anybody see you cry
Fake love
Fake life
Fake music
Fake friendships
Fake shyness
Fake being fake
Fake confidence in yourself
Fake empathy for everybody else
Fake death
Fake suicide
Fake all the cuts on your hands
You got from dragging yourself through life
Everybody knows how to hurt when you’re broken
Everybody wants to take back the words that hurt you once there spoken
Well that could be solved
So easily
Well that could be solved
By making everybody ordinary
So keep tough
Keep strong
Keep loving as the day is long
Keep being that human kind
That beats anything that comes along
Fake life
Fake death
Fake taking your last breath
Well it’s hard to fake anything when there’s simply nothing left
Everybody loves to love a new heart when its strong
Everybody loves to love the next best thing that comes along
Well that could be solved
So easily
Well that could be solved
By making everybody ordinary
But you’re not ordinary
Keep secrets
Keep the hurt
Don’t give anything away
Keep quiet
Keep strong
Don’t let anybody see you cry
Because everybody makes mistakes
Everybody will one day change
Everybody acts so differently but we all feel the exact same way
Everybody knows how to hurt when your broken
Everybody wants to take back the words that hurt you once there spoken
Everybody loves to love a new heart when its strong
Everybody loves to love the next best thing that comes along
