Windsok

The feeling that you forgot
The reason you know is not
A question to you now
Why can't you see
You've got no say at all

How does it feel to be
A dollar sign soon to be
A way to sell it all
Straight to the top
Without a doubt at all

Plant the seed
What a waste of time
You need to find a place
To draw the line

Follow the recipe
The company said should be
Successful 'till you fall
End of the trend
The ending of it all

Building an entity
The was it was meant to be
A cliche ride through fame
It is a sin
We end up all the same

Plant the seed
What a waste of time
You need to find a place
To draw the line

Can't you see
You're running out of time
You're cashing in
On everything you've signed

Adnam The One Armed Bricklayer

I know it's the way that is goes
I can't help but wonder
Why you have to put something down
'Cause you're insecure
I don't know why should I complain
There's nothing to say or do
Can't wait to say
Can't wait to say to you
Can't wait to say
You've been thinking too

I thought about reasons to try
I've thought about nothing
It's so hard to have faith in these times
But I won't pretend

I don't know there's no one to blame
There's nothing to say or do
Can't wait to say
Can't wait to say to you
Can't wait to say
You've been thinking too

Can't wait to say
Can't wait to say to you
Can't wait to say
You've been thinking too
You've been thinking too
You've been thinking too.... much

Glossy Books

There's nothing that I could say
To make her change the way she thinks
Page one is all she wants to be

It wasn't a phase to her
It wasn't a part of growing up
Don't compare yourself
To some 13 year old who needs help

The girl inside
You tried to hide
Is all you needed to be
It's only looks
You can't compare yourself
To all those glossy books

I know you know what's right
You need to see
The reason why you can't pretend

You'll never be satisfied
You'll never be quite the way you want
Don't try to hide it

Of course you're so pretty now
As you did everything they said to do
You can be happy now
You're beautiful and beautifully dead

And time unfolds the reason
They don't come
And life reveals the season
They don't come
Time unfolds the reason

The girl inside
You tried to hide
Is all you needed to be
It's only looks
You can't compare yourself
To all those glossy books

Time heals sometimes
Time heals sometimes
Then you know what's right

Todays Ways

Just like I said
You're so easily read
Keeping the score
When you know that you're so far behind
Remember what I said to you
Only speak when you are spoken to

Open your eyes in the dark you can't see
Lie to your friends
If you have to be open with them
Please don't ask for help my friend
I've got so much blackmail to be sent

Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's

Just like I said
Keep your thoughts in your head
Trouble this time
Your opinion is clashing with mine
I can not see what you mean
Haven't touched you yet my hands are clean

Speak up and shout slam the door don't walk out
Keep on complaining
The punishment will fit the crime
I know that's not quite fair for you
But I don't care there's nothing you can do

Like I said you're not my friend
Like I said you're so easily led
Like I said you're not my friend
Like I said you're so easily led

Today's ways
Don't owe you nothing
Today's ways

Don't Tell Me

I've got an empty feeling
Losing out so try to understand
I played a thousand games of cards
And never won a single hand

And I know that I've been trying hard
That's probably all I am
They say you win and loose
I hope I win some day

It seems no matter what you try to do
You step on someone's toes
And it gets harder every day
To recognize your friends from foes

Well I'm not feeling sorry for myself
But it might sound that way
But friends are all I got
To get me through each day

I've followed every rule they set
I made up lies I stayed in bed
I tried to compromise instead
Don't tell me
Don't tell me why

I never thought I'd try to win
And loose it all some day
I never thought I'd try to see
I hope it's not too late

I've followed every rule they set
I made up lies I stayed in bed
I tried to compromise instead
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me why

Board!

It's the attitude to be in
I'm the one to tell you that

The scene's fucked up
Leave it in Diaspora
It's time to board the mountain

Rippin' off a kicker
Five fourty switch stance through the air

Butter your muffins
T-Revert front side olly air
My fun is there

Lien air
Bonk that nollie tail grab
You're so amped up

Adrenaline is there
Wall riders on the mountain

The One We Forgot

Haven't seen the way you look at me
But I'm just crying out to see
A friend that will not end up hurting

I said hello again today
But everyone just turned away
Won't be back with the same tomorrow

It's not supposed to be that way
I'm just trying not to say
What I think and feel for you today

You want me there you need someone too
Look down on and I'm there for you
It's always gonna be the same way

I feel the pain it's in my back
The knives you use are the truths you lack
I'm bleeding now I need to see that it's...

Not supposed to be that way
I'm just trying not to say
What I think and feel for you today

'Cause every night when I go home
I might want to be alone
Someone like you might try to see me
I've worked out it's not fair
It used to be the way things were to stay

Every day, I see you walk away
Every day, It's not to get around
Every day, I see you walk away
Every day, it's not to get around

Your Way Of Thinking

When you think of how
It may change
If everyone was just like you
Would it satisfy

To see the world change for you
Maybe for a while
You'd sit back and laugh but
Not for very long realising that
You're not so strong

Wake up and see
Wake up and

Realise
Don't fantasise
Fucking categorise
People from what they own
Don't ever try
To see through my eyes
'Cause you'll never understand

Wake up and see
Wake up and

I can see through your eyes
You're the one I despise

Wake up and see, wake up and see
Wake up and see, wake up and

Next To You

 

Land On Me

I'm not one to see, not one to feel
Not one to be a part
Of the way that you think things should be

Set out your rules today
And say that you won't be the same

How could I ever respect you
When you push out this feeling I get
When I'm near you it wasn't meant to
Fuckin' meant to, land on me

Not one to say not one to think
Not one to be a part
Of the way that you think things should be

Set out your rules today
And say that you won't be the same

How could I ever respect you
When you push out this feeling I get
When I'm near you it wasn't meant to
Fuckin' meant to, land on me

Tell me will you land on me today
Land on me in every single way

Yeah

Say what you mean
Always say what you mean
Tell me

5000G

Trying hard to duplicate the scene
You've seen so much in magazines
It's not what you decide inside
It's what you try to hide

You've got a thousand lines
You think you're from the U.S.A.
We've got a problem now
It's time to seize the day

Everytime I hear you talking
Everytime I see you walking
I just need to be someone you believe (x2)

Packing knives and picking fights with me
Your big mouth keeps your dignity
You're like an actor saying lines
You're not the star this time

'Cause I won't listen now
Because I've heard your shit before
It's time to realize
It's time to even the score

Everytime I hear you talking
Everytime I see you walking
I just need to be someone you believe (x2)

There's a scene to yourself (x8)

Washed Away

Stripped from life as it seems
Was washed away until another day
Words are left inside this memory
And that will always stay

I'll never need a friend to tell me
'Cause they'll never know
Just how it feels to love and loose a friend I can't let go

The years I knew you meant a lifetime to me
You'll always be this way washed away
Your life was washed away

I'll never need a friend to tell me
'Cause they'll never know
Just how it feels to love and loose a friend I can't let go (x2)

A good time not a long time
I know you said that to me
I hope that you'll be waiting for me

When my time comes, we'll see
Time won't mend, I felt the weight of you my friend
But I won't dissolve the memory when my time comes we'll see

Need a friend to say
Need a friend to say
