Too Late
03:57

I've been feeling low
Juxtaposed and on my own
Want to let us know
Soon it won't have time to grow
And when you see the glow
It lets you know that you are home.
Fingers in the snow
Creeping up the boughs below
When your cover's blown
Don’t leave the sacred text alone
Made of silicon
At the end of revolucione
Choking air
Plastic sea
If it’s too late already then we’ll see
Look past
And think about how long these things will last
If it’s too late already then we’ll see
It’s a lucky draw
That keeps you getting out this far
And when it’s down in law
What are we to do at all
It means we're overdrawn
Out of luck, against the bar
Can only go so far.
Choking air
Plastic sea
If it’s too late already then we’ll see
Look past
And think about how all these things won't last
Plastic sea
If it’s too late already then we’ll see
Look past
And think about how long these things will last.

Gotta Think
01:21
|

|
I've been singing a lot about it recently
I'm singing like I haven't got a care about me.
Ain't nobody care when they see
What the world is doing to me.
But then you gotta think
What are we doing to the world?

Mix It!
05:08
|

|
Marjoram miscreant, craft a makeshift dwelling
Perchance, a drop of bergamot would moderate the swelling?
Mix it in the morning
No warning, fix it.
Hear it in the evening
No dreaming, feel it.
Animal, certified carnival
Festival, elephant rentable
It's fine.
Animal, an authorized carnival
Festival, manatee wearable
It's fine to spit on my desires.
'Cause when I'm with you I can't see the light.
'Cause at your side there isn't room for flight.
It's fine to wonder
That maybe somewhere there is room to fly,
That maybe living could be worth a try.

Skip Step

Skip step, punished on the strep test
Continuing running on little pieces of my best bet
Calling falling from here anything less
Than a bucket of stress, just gimme one more beer
Counting cheers, the people are all ears
Belated beratings from the man who fabricates your fears
Destitute hiccup, demands another breakup
Demands another silly silent rhyme from inside, made-up
And when you get to the end you realised you skipped a step
You got to trace it backwards, backpacking through the woods
Mass production, see them on the counting line
Give it time, that won't be mine, take note which one is first to resign
At 20mph, who know two words could turn things so sour
Skip step, blame it on a mis-step
Do you feel like the world that you built is being gatekept?
Over-slept and a lack of depth
Just wondering under which rug that it will be swept
And it’s a long long way out from there
To get out of your chair and actually go see the world
Smoke swirls around your eyes
You’ll end up with your fists curled, adorned and pearled
Skip step
For the third and final time I'm giving rhyme some downtime
I’m miming slime to hear a chime, it covers me
Slipped disk in the doorstep, caught in a spiderweb
Trapped in plastic packaging, makes you wish you did the prep

Half Cooked
05:30

|
I'm half cooked when you think about me
I wear a lie that fits so easy
But it's coming undone.
I'm half cooked when I'm on the floor
Dressed in fumes that see the poor
Green is blind in colours.
I only said your name
The colourful breeds fame
I only said your name
The colourful bleeds fame.
I only said your name
The colourful breeds pain
I only said your name
The colourful bleeds pain.
Free ride on the Sunday tree
I cooked a smile that's rising, pleasing
And it's on the cooling rack.
A warm beer on a cold wet beach
Sun cream, sun hat, no T-shirt.
The extremes are extreme if you want them
The extremes are extreme if you flaunt them.
