I got the buildings consuming me
Does it look like I care?
Got me paranoid
I’m a weirdo
Condomania everywhere you need
We’re aloud to care less
Who’s gonna wash them away?
And clean up the crazy mess
Then its like we’re surrounded
By a state of mind that’s confounded
Live in the sky to see horizons
But we cannot fly high enough around them
Identity you’re away from me
Your apartments the best
Yet you’re joined at the seams
Above and below your head
Conned out of your dough
Like fools in love
Although it could be said
The effects of the city
Are running into my head
And then its like we’re surrounded
By a state of mind that’s confounded
Live in the sky to see horizons
But we cannot fly high enough around them
Convinced it’s something you need
As it fills the more it seems
Ya dreaming
It not so bad if you’re high
Above it all, who can deny
Ya dreaming
And then its like we’re surrounded
By a state of mind that’s confounded
Live in the sky to see horizons
But we cannot fly high enough around them

FEED
So now we’re spending time apart
For the better they say
What do they know anyway
One catching the sun
The other getting the cold
Act like there nothing wrong
And this time has come around
So I reach for the rope
But there’s nothing to hold
You feed me before I go
And I’ll smoke them cigarettes
To fill the space inside my chest
You feed me before I know
Time to consider it
Hoping that it ‘aint the end
We both have something to do
Yet can’t justify the dream
While we’re in between
So I’ll keep tuning my strings
And they’ll be fretfulness
Depends how quick we can forget
You feed me before I go
And I’ll smoke them cigarettes
To fill the space inside my chest
You feed me before I know
Time to consider it
Hoping that it ‘aint the end
Feeding
Breaking
Starving
Healing
You feed me before I go
And I’ll smoke them cigarettes
To fill the space inside my chest
You feed me before I know
Time to consider it
Hoping that it ‘aint the end

Your Fix
Would you believe it
I’ll travel you right into the sun
Would you believe it
I’ll fire you right out of a gun
I can see it kilometers away
Ants in their holes
Melbourne from space
I can see it being ten times the fun
Twenty times the speed
A hundred more than one
Would you believe it
I’m afraid of losing it all
Crying with laughter
Coz ya seen it and heard it all before
I can see it kilometers away
Ants in their holes
Melbourne from space
I can see it being ten times the fun
Twenty times the speed
A hundred more than one
Ya can’t really fix a magician
They tell ya what to believe
Now you’re that dude from that thing
Right in the kisser
Right on my screen
Would you believe?
I’ll travel you into the sun
Would you believe?
I’ll fire you out of a gun
I see me, afraid of losing it all
Crying with laughter
Ya heard it all before
Ya heard it all before
So get it again
Ya can’t really fix a magician
They tell ya what to believe
Now you’re that dude from that thing
Right in the kisser
Right on my screen

POLITE
You’ve been hiding
Something you haven’t told
Kept the secret
Or it will blow it all away
And I don’t mind
Pull the wool over my eyes
Keeping everything insane
If it all goes pear shaped
Who’ll be leaving you crying?
Back to the recess of my mind
I’ll push it away, again
And I don’t mind
Pull the wool over my eyes
Keeping everything insane
I think I’m too polite to say
That I wanna be the better man
I wanna live without the shame
And what if I was gonna die today
Would I be happy?
Happy
Back to the recess of my mind
I’ll push it away, again
I think I’m too polite to say
That I wanna be the better man
I wanna live without the shame
And what if I was gonna die today
Would I be
Outside pressure
Builds forever
Focusing the light
Can’t escape it
Sick of faking
No one’s fault but mine
I think I’m too polite to say
That I wanna be the better man
I wanna live without the shame
And what if I was gonna die today
Would I be happy?

LEAVES
Never want to watch the time
Coz it’s gone, it rolls on
Always think you’re out of sight
But that’s wrong, and ya know so
And there’s nothing there but grey
And we didn’t see it coming
Still the dark, holding day
Leaves when we’re not looking
When you’re there we are so real
One another, we hold on
Need to colour the things we feel
Bring together to console
And there’s nothing there but grey
And we didn’t see it coming
Still the dark, holding day
Leaves when we’re not looking
Well now it’s not the same
You’ve given us a shiver
Well now you’ve gone away
And I wanna hear ya brother
What else is there to say?
Hyland
Hear the call
Feel the fall
Back to norm
Hear the call, it might just tell ya something
Feel the fall, and end up left with nothing
Back to norm, luck can’t last forever
x2
Hear the call – tell ya something
Feel the fall – left with nothing
Back to norm – luck ‘aint forever
Take the call
Well now it’s not the same
You’ve given us a shiver
Well now you’ve gone away
And I wanna hear ya brother
What else is there to say?
Hyland
