Lyrics:

You said drawing pictures was easy
Turned out to be complicated
Crayons built for people like me
Untalented but enthusiastic

Lie down on the bed pretend to remember a
Scene on a beach, a seaweed mojito 
A4 Refill memories all I have left
Seven colours lined out to solve every scene I set

Just a small mistake
But when it comes to wax there’s things you can’t erase

Late at night let them guide your hands
Between colours you drift away to a separate land
What you see there you won’t speak out loud 
I cannot work it out 
I cannot work it out 
I cannot work it out 
I cannot work it out 
I cannot work it out
I cannot work it out

You said drawing pictures was easy
Inclined to find what lies behind them

Lie down on the bed pretend to remember a
Scene on the street dancing in the dead leaves
All the details entwine my dreams
Flecks of colour round my head as I drift off to sleep

Step back take a look at it
Result of the internal journey
I drew myself with a circular head
Lemon skin contented expression

After some thought I added a sun
Glow overhead it will make sense 
Draw on wings like the early bird I am 

I’m down to stumps but I’m trying
Uncertainty stops you from flying
Who said drawing pictures was easy?
One day I’ll work it out

Sounds, Noises etc.

LYRICS:

All days 
Are made for someone
Feral I grow
Watching the clouds start to glow
It's late now I must be tired
Climbing out of a sinking night
I think it's my birthday today
But I await confirmation

Who's she?
She doesn't live here
What are you doing in my house?
We ask each other
It felt like it was just about this time last year that I
Locked myself in a cupboard with a wasp
It felt like it was just about this time last year I saw
An angry symphony its colourful streamers
I think it's my birthday today
But I await confirmation

One step
And up and I go up the step
Ten steps
And up on the staircase I hear the end coming
It's a static sound high in the air
Between the edges
Tomorrow I'm no one
Need a glass of water hope it doesn't rain
Was an ugly baby
Just old enough now
Threaded all my hours on the steps
Hiding up seconds
Flying through numbers
I disappear I awake
Just old enough now to climb
Climb or I sink this day is mine
