the fix 04:16

Head on the ground, hand in the air Sick of uttering the thing they ignore “Sir could you spare…” an offering A moment of care comes in one form Not hoping for a breath of warm air Fixed on the fix, can you feel it? As the light breaks through the clouds Straighten up and guess the hour Fleeting dreams of a warm shower When he found her, when he found her When the fix runs through her veins Someone else endures the pain Broken hearts don’t heal the same Now they’ve lost her, now they’ve lost her Head on the ground, hand in the air Sick of uttering the thing they ignore “Sir could you spare…” an offering A moment of care comes in one form Not hoping for a breath of warm air Fixed on the fix, can you feel it? When the darkness floods the day What was left of the heat decays That makes one less day to face Around us, around… When she’s fixated, never gonna make it Can’t even dream of a life donated We call it a waste, never that patient Wanna help without tapping into savings Where do you go at night? Are you rough sleeping? Is it an act? Money is the reason Got your fix to buy so you don’t dream tonight Don’t dream of this Head on the ground, hand in the air Sick of uttering the thing they ignore “Sir could you spare…” an offering A moment of care comes in one form Not hoping for a breath of warm air Fixed on the fix, can you feel it? [BRIDGE] Governed by the fix Desperate to pin fault Where did it all go wrong Fixed on the fix

disconnect 03:22
lyrics

What if I could disconnect? What if I could disconnect? Internal pain, distort; reflect What if I could disconnect? Yeah, What if I could disconnect? Take me to the place in my head I protect (The sun is rising) Internal pain, distort; reflect Soon I’ll move, I’m making my way soon, to stay Beg me to stay in this place I call hell Beg me to stay inside my holding cell If you hold me in place I’ll sever, I’ll rebel Think I’ll be on my own again I was told to keep my head up to the ceiling Detach from my reality, eyes bleeding I shouldn’t let a fantasy control my life But take it from me there’s nothing left inside So why can’t we just disconnect? Separate from what we’re told we must accept (The sun is dead) If for a minute we forget What our world has become, I’ll hold my tongue Beg me to stay in this place I call hell Beg me to stay inside my holding cell If you hold me in place I’ll sever, I’ll rebel Think I’ll be on my own again Pull the plug on my Distant reverie Tune me back to life, enlighten me I won’t let the pain remember me Pull the plug on me Guide me to the sun Tune me back to life, enlighten me Take my sight, disconnect me

sign on the line 04:00
lyrics

I’ll settle for a lifetime, a world of slow decline I’ll settle for a lifetime, existing on the edge of a knife If it is binding, I need reminding of the Ts&Cs I keep on signing; can I confide in the small print? I’ll settle for a lifetime, where do I sign? Indifference like pen to paper They propagate their world Witness to a harsh disclaimer The pieces play themselves I’ll settle for a lifetime, enough to keep me occupied I’m aware that it’s fragile, doomed to unravel We tighten the shackles with every breath we take If it is binding, I need reminding of the Ts&Cs I keep on signing; can I confide in the small print? I’ll settle for a lifetime Where do I sign? Indifference like pen to paper They propagate their world Witness to a harsh disclaimer The pieces play themselves I’ll sign on the line, I’ll write my life away Because what do we become without an expiry date Witness to a harsh disclaimer The pieces play themselves Sign on the line I’ll settle for a lifetime Sign on the line I’ll sign on the line, I’ll write my life away Because what do we become without an expiry date I’ll settle for a lifetime Sign on the line

I don’t recognise the stranger in your clothes Spent half my life tryna help you Now I don’t know who you are Something happened to you Something changed your mind I’ll stay put to please my conscience But I don’t recognise who you’ve become You can let the world win if you’re compelled to But you’ll fall away, we’ll separate, if only If another lease of life only overwhelms you You’ll fall away, we’ll separate If only, if only you’d try I don’t recognise any of the words on the page at the verse, yet I won’t need a rehearsal Coming from the heart, to the mouth From the start I was without anything eternal Something’s gotta happen, gotta change Can I reset to the past like factory? Because I know that you’ll happily remain Is there any part of you that I could get back to me Well internally I’m defiant, debating if I should stay silent But while I’m under your spell I’m alive but not well, a shadow of who I am You can let the world win if you’re compelled to But you’ll fall away, we’ll separate, if only If another lease of life only overwhelms you You’ll fall away, we’ll separate If only, if only you’d try Who is this imposter? My trust it seems just a fantasy I’ll try but I will falter I’ll never mean anything to you

Arrogance in waves Your insubordination makes me sick I breathe in deep so I hold my tongue Hush I hold my tongue Hush hush hush Better take a breath Better keep myself calm Better take a breath, better keep calm Murder on the mind, better disarm I don’t wanna be another version of you Better keep my mind sound Better keep my mind sound Another mistake you’ve not learned from Might as well be running in circles ‘Hush’ they said, you don’t wanna harm him Little did they know, I was far from disarming I sat back, dignity departing Restraint now the last thing on my mind Hush Better take a breath, better keep calm Murder on my mind, better disarm I don’t wanna be another version of you Better keep my mind sound

I won’t, I won’t dream of this I won’t, I won’t let the blues kick in Dreams of when I met her The weather now wetter She squinted the sun out her eyes Those nights were better With her in my sweater No question of her hand in mine My only regret is I cannot forget How those weeks were the best of my life I should know, not to close my eyes Don’t dream cause I’ll miss her more Unknowingly float away Living on replay, replay No, don’t dream of this No, don’t dream of this I could dream of this No, don’t dream of this I’m looking back with the promise of happiness I can’t unpack the fact that I might not be helping myself Nostalgic track record, patterns of sentimental moments in time where I sign on the line Take me back I won’t, I won’t dream of this I won’t, I won’t let the blues kick in I’ll find a way to balance a positive memory and the feeling that I Can’t sleep on my own, your voice on my phone Is nothing compared to the times that have flown by Those nights were better with her in my sweater, we’ll make time I should know, not to close my eyes Don’t dream cause I’ll miss her No, don’t dream of this No, don’t dream of this I could dream of this No, don’t dream of this I’m looking back with the promise of happiness I can’t unpack the fact that I might not be helping myself Nostalgic track record, patterns of sentimental moments in time where I sign on the line Take me back No, don’t dream of this (I won’t dream of this) No, don’t dream of this I could dream of this (I won’t dream of this) No, don’t dream of this
