Cannonball

You came cannon-balling down from the sky
With a heart full of gold and a look in your eye
Where have you come from?
Where have you come from?
Couldn’t help but notice all the pain on your face
And the way that you were staggering all over the place
Where are you going to?
When you’re flying way up high
And a bad thought never passes by
You’re blinded by the sun but you can’t see
Even if you’re drifting low
And think that you know where to go
The best can fall but you cannot believe…
That your world… can all come crashing down
And you lose… everything you’d found
You came cannon-balling down from above
With a heart full of gold and looking for love
Where have you come from?
Where have you come from?
Couldn’t help but notice all the pain when you spoke
About the day when all your dreams had disappeared into smoke.
Where are you going to?
When you’re flying way up high
And a bad thought never passes by
You’re blinded by the sun but you can’t see
Even if you’re drifting low
And think that you know where to go
The best can fall but you cannot believe…
Your world… can all come crashing down
And you lose… everything you’d found
Everything you’ve found

Take It Back
02:57

(Take it back take it back)
I’m offended by the things that you say and the things that you always do
(Take it back take it back)
I’m offended by your friends and the things that they say to encourage you
(Go away go away)
I don’t want to see your face or the way that you prey on the emotional
(Get a life get a life)
I don’t think you’re very nice and I think that you’re very unapproachable
Don’t waste your time on people whining
One day you’ll find that silver lining
(Take it back take it back)
Can’t you see you’re starting wars with the bores who take everything too personally?
(Take it back take it back)
You are starting up a fight though you’re right and you make your point so perfectly
(Go away go away)
This will carry on for days if you stay and they’ll find a way to twist it round
(Get a life get a life)
You are now under the knife pay the price they are here to kick you to the ground!
Don’t waste your time on people whining
One day you’ll find that silver lining

Save It For Another Day
03:41
|

Just breathe it in, don’t let it out
That’s how the whole thing started
(That’s how the whole thing started)
Just take your time, don’t speak the truth
You’ll end up broken hearted
(That’s how the whole thing started)
Just seal your lips or else you’ll drift
To territories uncharted
(That’s how the whole thing started)
Oh yeeeeaah!
I know what it is that you wanted them to say
I know what you want and that’s to take the pain away
I know what you are but need to save it for another day
Save it for another day… save it for another day
Save it for another day… save it for another day
Just speak the truth, the time is now
Or what’s the use in trying
(Or what’s the use in trying)
Just play the game, you’ve waited long enough
There’s no use lying
(Or what’s the use in trying)
Just take the plunge, go for the kill
You know that time is flying
(Or what’s the use in trying)
Oh yeeeeaah!
I know what it is that you wanted them to say
I know what you want and that’s to take the pain away
I know what you are but need to save it for another day
Save it for another day…
Save it for another day… save it for another day
Save it for another day… save it for another day
There will be another day
I know what it is that you wanted them to say…
I know what it is that you wanted them to say
I know what you want and that’s to take the pain away
I know what you are but need to save it for another day…
Another day…
Another day…
Save it for another day… (save it for another day)
Save it for another day… (save it for another day)
Save it for another day… (save it for another day)

Did you see that great show last night?
He said some stuff and then she cried… oh no…
And everyone was happy then everyone was sad
And everything was beautiful then suddenly turned bad
And then you posted what just happened during all the ads
And i’m sick to death of hearing all about this shit TV
It’s hard to live inside reality
Cause they live their lives through other people who don’t mean a thing Another dickhead with a pointless diamond ring
Have you tried this new diet plan?
This protein shake makes me a man
And everyone was taking a selfie on a stick
And everyone was commenting “your ass is looking thick”
And then you took your shirt off because you’re a stupid dick
And i’m sick to death of seeing all these photos at the gym
And still you’d never pick me over him
Cause they live their lives upon a treadmill or a weight machine
Another dickhead with a tiny… self-esteem.

The Daily Grind
03:49
|

|
The daily grind is killing me and I don’t know what I can do when I get home
This life is not fulfilling me and I don’t know what else to do when i’m alone
I cannot comprehend the time that I will spend doing things that I should not
I need to stop and see time creeping up on me because I know it’s not a lot
I can’t wait for the day to come to an end
But it gets late I’ve thrown away time that I could spend...
Doing all the things I ever wanted to… but all that’s not enough
Doing everything to try and get me through… when times are getting rough
Everything just gets to me and I don’t know what I can do to stop my head
Everything’s affecting me and I don’t know each day if i’ll get out of bed
Say we understand, but on the other hand everything is pretty clear
Say our life’s messed up, but all that shit’s dressed up
We are all controlled by fear
I can’t wait for the day to come to an end
But it gets late I’ve thrown away time that I could spend...
Doing all the things I ever wanted to… but all that’s not enough
Doing everything to try and get me through… when times are getting rough

Queen Of Nothing

On your way to your daily meal in your new set of wheels and your new high heels
Before the long night ends gotta make sure that you send all the photos to your friends
You’re looking for a worthy king but money isn’t everything cause there is more than meets the eye…
We don’t care for your á la carte
We would rather you were smart
No need to show your private parts
Stop showing money, show some heart
Cause look at all your fancy toys
Forever chasing all these men… but only ever catching boys
Please tell me is it sometimes hard being given Daddy’s card in your seven acre yard?
It’s not that we’re jealous of your life it’s that you’re not nice you will make a great housewife
You’re looking for a worthy king but money isn’t everything cause there is more than meets the eye…
We don’t care for your á la carte
We would rather you were smart
No need to show your private parts
Stop showing money, show some heart
Cause look at all your fancy toys.
Forever chasing all these men… but only ever catching boys.

Better Things
03:30

I never wanted this.
A place within your books.
A place to take the piss and bring me funny looks.
Around the corner there’ll be more to counteract the sly.
Their jaws will hit the floor it’s time to say… goodbye.
I don’t know anything but I know that i’m onto better things.
You can’t control me or else i’ll turn back into the old me.
So goodbye (goodbye). Goodbye my friend.
Goodbye. I guess i’ll see you in hell.
Tear out all the pages that don’t apply to you.
Though they’ve been there for ages, it is clearly so untrue.
Rewrite all the stories depicting you as wrong.
Taking all the glory will only last so long.
I don’t know anything but I know that i’m onto better things.
You can’t control me or else i’ll turn back into the old me.
So goodbye (goodbye). Goodbye my friend.
Goodbye. I guess i’ll see you in hell.
What has anybody done to deserve this?
What has anybody done to deserve this?
I don’t know anything but I know that i’m onto better things.
You can’t control me or else i’ll turn back into the old me.
So goodbye (goodbye). Goodbye my friend.
Goodbye. I guess i’ll see you in hell.
To better things. Onto better things.
To better things. To better things.
Onto better things. Whoooaaah.

Last Time
05:11

All the things you've done won't melt away
A guilty conscience lives another god damn day
And every time you say goodbye will be a lie and then you'll stay.
It's happened once and it happened twice
And you are walking on piece of cold thin ice
And every time you think we're done, you are the one to pay the price.
You were someone who I thought about
But you were someone where i’d always get caught out
And every time you left my my mind, I would then find you scream and shout
I want it to be at the very end
I want it to be where we don’t always pretend
And every time I think i’m there, it’s just not fair… I lose a friend (I lose a friend)
It will happen once again
But this time you will meet your end
And watch out for the storm I bring
And I don’t care if you want to go
But it would help if you never know
That I thought you were everything
Another chance to show that you can care
And when it’s here you lose the nerve and you don’t dare
And every time the chance goes by, you didn't try, so now where?
I want it to be at the very end
I want it to be where we don’t always pretend
And every time I think i’m there, it’s just not fair… I lose a friend (I lose a friend)
It will happen once again
But this time you will meet your end
And watch out for the storm I bring
And I don’t care if you want to go
But it would help if you never know
That I thought you were everything
Don’t go
I want you stay
But all is lost I need to live my life again some day
Don’t go
I want you to stay
And i’ll be here whilst you are living life a different way
It will happen once again
But this time you will meet your end
And watch out for the storm I bring
And I don’t care if you want to go
But it would help if you never know
That I thought you were everything
This is the last time
Whoah
This the last time
Whoah
This is the last time

Shut It Down
03:57
|

Waste time.
I take the long route home.
Don’t want to be that person all alone.
Lie to myself.
It’s getting pretty late.
It’s time to hit the hay at half past eight.
I’m done.
I’m feeling pretty pissed at social media telling me what I have missed.
I don’t care what I see being put in front of me but yet i’m glued and just like you…
I lose my sanity.
It’s time to shut it down.
It’s time to turn it around i’m hanging upside down and I am inside out.
For I don’t see straight and now it’s much too late so I am logging out.
I’m closing the lid on these words that do not mean a thing to me.
I’m trying to get rid of these images that I do not need to see.
I’m logging out.
We say new year and new me.
I’m gonna get in shape and eat so healthily.
Days pass.
You see me sitting there.
A tub of ice cream and a vacant stare.
I’m lost inside the TV screen.
I’m shooting bad guys, haven’t moved for days, don’t know what’s been…
happening in reality, i’m so caught up in what I see in front of me…
trying to escape this world.
It’s time to shut it down.
It’s time to turn it around i’m hanging upside down and I am inside out.
For I don’t see straight and now it’s much too late so I am logging out.
I’m closing the lid on these words that do not mean a thing to me.
I’m trying to get rid of these images that I do not need to see.
I’m logging out.

Leave These Thoughts
04:20

Shout out to the ones that stick it out until the end.
When you feel so far away where can you begin?
You don’t feel like a king anymore.
Blue skies turn to grey when you’re on the outside looking in and the birds no longer sing like before.
I’ve got this feeling in my chest it tears me up inside.
My head’s in pieces, i’m a mess so put my dignity aside.
And every time you want to ask me what is in my mind.
I down my head put on my mask and I leave these thoughts behind.
When it feels like only you exist upon this earth.
You feeling all alone forever more.
Bad thoughts coming through.
You’re questioning your worth.
You don’t deserve your throne anymore.
I’ve got this feeling in my chest it tears me up inside.
My head’s in pieces, i’m a mess so put my dignity aside.
And every time you want to ask me what is in my mind.
I down my head put on my mask and leave these thoughts behind.
Leave these thoughts behind.
