Resolution 03:05
The train tracks stretch And bend themselves A mockingbird wounded in a trap Its world collides Chasing tales of resolution And I fail outright I’m more bitter Than a traffic warden on speed And I’m coming for Your brand new Beamer Chasing tales of resolution And I fail outright Chasing tales of resolution And I fail outright

Altered state Laid out Shoes worn in Wet with dew I’ve never seen So clear Whispers round But I’m still invisible I prefer it that way Unobtrusive and sensible To slide off the rails For a little while Can’t explain Hands untied I’ve turned my back On last minute desperate measures I’ve never seen So clear Whispers round But I’m still invisible I prefer it that way Unobtrusive and sensible To slide off the rails For a little while

He thought no one noticed His slight of hand Under a table cloth Of politeness He’s an invader A scather He’s a blatant misbehaver Who’s promised a few too many times I took my hat off I was just uncomfortable I’m empathetic Not just necessarily sympathetic That much too all There’s a professor On crutches With a petulant intolerance For intolerance itself She’s puzzled by cooperation A little humility would do her good Doses of reality You knew you should I took my hat off I was just uncomfortable I’m empathetic Not just necessarily sympathetic That much too all

Hey man To where are you striding so fast? I’m still bound, clasped Don’t know if I’ll make it or last My brambles coil Into an elegant mess I figured I never said I was strong The anger of Achilles Means more than you know A child’s told he has no flaws But he’s so sure that they show Apparently friendship Lives on a one way street I’m not good enough For anyone I meet I figured I never said I was strong The anger of Achilles Means more than you know A child’s told he has no flaws But he’s so sure that they show

Last Orders 05:16
Pick yourself off the floor You’ve done this before Your mind creaks And shivers But hope still Shows in the lines of your face Pick yourself off the floor You’ve done this before Your mind creaks And shivers But hope still Shows in the lines of your face

Frames 05:14
Come see the faces of the bold Some take years to remould Nobody said it would last But I refuse To stay helpless in the cold I want to fly I want to reach these heights Shallow chains and more Set frames Optimism could do more To realign my sights No more pressure, more Free space Come see the faces of the bold Some take years to remould Nobody said it would last But I refuse To stay helpless in the cold
