When I’m showered
With your praise
My head gets bigger
And I feel okay.
When your scorn
It creates tears
With one word
I am filled with fear
I’m detached
Not really here
My bloodied nose
Drops on skin
Here I stand
Manhood in hand
Laughing bitterly
My eyes on the ground
Stiff upper lip
A Furrowed brow
Strong and silent but don’t act out
Say what you feel
Say what you feel
Act like Navy Seals
Kill Guns fight hate
Act like navy seals
Kill guns decorate
Act like Navy Seals
Kill Guns fight hate
Act like navy seals
Kill guns decorate
Act like Navy Seals
Kill Guns fight hate
Act like navy seals
Kill guns decorate
They will take the blood from you
I will see the others through
They will take the blood from you
I will see the others through

Frustration sits right there on your shoulders
Just like a weight that won’t go away
I tried tough love, well done innovator
I crossed my arms, and angrily say
You’ve got your love babe
And we can find ways
To make it easy
You’ve got your love babe
And we can find ways
To make it easy
You heave a sigh, with your head in your hands
Keep saying I’m fine, I’m a real man
I won’t say a word, don’t know where you stand
You’ve got a secret
It’s one that you hate
I’ll make you tell it
Before it’s too late
You’ve got a secret
It’s one that you hate
I’ll make you say
You’ve got your love babe
And we can find ways
To make it easy
You’ve got your love babe
And we can find ways
To make it easy
Easier
You’ll make it easier
Easier
You’ll and it easier

KEEP SWIMMING

I was shot
By a feeling I don’t trust
I got caught
I am stuck and start to rust
The whole lot
Heavy eyes and heavy hearts
But I ought
To have seen it from the start
Should have found a better way
(And it feels strange)
Of telling everyone I know
(I’m not the same)
Anyway you’re only young, there’s so much time
Anyway you’re only young, mistakes are fine
Anyway you’re only young you’ll be alright
Anyway you’re only young, a burning light
I’ve hit the ceiling and it won’t break
I’ve hit the ceiling I’m still awake
Keep swimming
Keep swimming
I’ve got a feeling I just can’t shake
I’ve got a feeling and it aches
Keep swimming
Keep swimming
And never fade
I was shot
By a feeling I don’t trust
I got caught
I am stuck and start to rust
I was lost
And the world is pale blue grey
I got caught
When I wanted to show you
How to disappear
And reappear
And disappear
I’ve hit the ceiling and it won’t break
I’ve hit the ceiling I’m still awake
Keep swimming
Keep swimming
I’ve got a feeling I just can’t shake
I’ve got a feeling and it aches
Keep swimming
Keep swimming
And never fade
We’re told to be different
But we always feel the same
Don’t give us something precious
Cos it’ll only break
Everything gets better
I don’t believe in fate
Clocks sit on every wall
But I’m always fucking Late
Never stop and wait and see
Never stop and wait and see
Swim and swim and swim
Swim and swim and swim
Swim and swim and swim
And keep on swimming

TRIBE

He just can’t see them
When the air leaves their lungs
Just say something, be positive and click and share and love
Indifferent but screaming
The lottery numbers lose
He just wants to buy us all cos he’s spent too much on booze
Your tribe
Your tribe
They’re the worst example of our kind
He runs everything
A productive son
Whiter straighter and taller than those that he trod on
Smugly he acts like
Butter wouldn’t melt
He just wants us to all buy, the bull shit that he sells
Your tribe
Your tribe
They’re the worst example of our kind
Your tribe
Your tribe
They’re the worst example of our kind
Does it sound like I’m describing
Someone you know and love
It could be just anyone
Your brother dad or mum
Your tribe
Your tribe
They’re the worst example of our kind

BUZZING

They don’t need to be kind cos they’re buzzing
They don’t need to be honest cos they buzzing
They don’t need to be human cos they’re buzzing
They don’t want to be me cos they’re buzzing
Let’s wipe every tear
From your swollen eyes
It’s ok to feel bad
From time to time
Let’s all be symbols of
massive consumption
Tell all our friends
we’re always in motion
We, we go online
And spend our time
Watching other people’s lives
We wanna shine
It’s you and I
We’re human kind
Say something that you won’t regret
Words that people can never
Never forget
A statement is made with no intent
Still a massive way of making
Loads of friends
We, we go online
And spend our time
Watching other people’s lives
We wanna shine
It’s you and I
We’re human kind
We, we go online
And spend our time
Watching other people’s lives
We wanna shine
It’s you and I
We’re human kind
They don’t need to be kind cos they’re buzzing
They don’t need to be honest cos they buzzing
They don’t need to be human cos they’re buzzing
They don’t want to be me cos they’re buzzing
Butterflies will twitch on cold tile floors
As envy spreads from shore to shore
As envy spreads from shore to shore
They don’t need to be kind cos they’re buzzing
They don’t need to be honest cos they buzzing
They don’t need to be human cos they’re buzzing
They don’t want to be me cos they’re buzzing
Butterflies will twitch on cold tile floors
As envy spreads from shore to shore
As envy spreads from shore to shore
And you want more
I’m buzzing
We’re buzzing
They’re buzzing
Buzzing
I don’t wanna be normal
(I’m buzzing)
I don’t wanna be normal
(I’m buzzing)
I don’t wanna be normal
(I’m buzzing)
I don’t wanna be normal
(I’m buzzing)
Don’t you feel so bad about your Friday night
No tinsel no sequins and no blinding lights
Don’t you feel so bad about your Friday night
They’re not better than you
Not better than I
