Daydream (rough old demo apologies)

[paper house]


second hand smoke running through the house 
it’s hard to breathe with aristocracy running out your mouth 
dads on the drink throwing up in the sink checkmate sibling rivalries nobody wins 
come down on robin hood lane 
there’s a kid with a dream, he’s got a sieve for a brain 
i’ve got a belly feeling that you’ll do us proud 
but if you want to see diversity go to university now 
you’ll find out what it’s about 

nobody said this was easy
nobody cares anymore 
running around in a paper house 
where everyone hides behind closed doors 

do do doo, do do doo doo doo
do do doo

call me a robber cause I take my time 
I’ll answer your question with its only red wine 
different place in the space of a year
but if you need me text cause there’s no signal round here 
till you disappear 

nobody said this was easy
nobody cares anymore 
running around in a paper house 
where everyone hides behind closed doors 

don’t go running round in a paper house
please don’t blow it down

no, nobody knows that your messages 
are just verification codes
what do they know 
it’s a struggle to get out of bed
your brains fucking your head
just kinda wish you were dead 
everyone’s so far ahead

nobody said this was easy
nobody cares anymore 
running around in a paper house 
where everyone hides behind closed doors 

nobody said…
nobody cares…
running around in a paper house…
everyone hides…

[how i miss those days]

look in the mirror
tell me what do you see
one two many laughs 
and three, four pairs of jeans 
no love lost just missing what’s not the same 
that bright and bold old feeling that gets stuck in your brain

when you gonna call me so we both can pretend
that the fire’s still burning ‘bout as bright as it can 
cynical miracle fucked up the plans
and now the road of yellow bricks has started cracking up again

when you wake up in the morning 
is everything okay?
or does your life not feel the same?
oh i don’t know many people that could make me feel this way 
but oh god how i miss those days

nowadays even turbulence gives comfort of sorts
say what you like but don’t tell me you’re bored
the bank of romance, tried to make a withdrawal 
but all accounts were frozen on suspicion of fraud

when you gonna call me so we both can pretend
we can hear that train coming rolling right round the bend
the most cynical of miracles
lost in the end of the world as we know it 
never to be seen again

when you wake up in the morning 
is everything okay?
or does your life not feel the same?
and i don’t know many people that could make me feel this way 
but oh god how i miss those days

when you gonna call me so we both can pretend
we can hear that train coming rolling right round the bend
the most cynical of miracles
lost in the end of the world as we know it 
never to be seen again

when you wake up in the morning 
is everything okay?
or does your life not feel the same?
and i don’t know many people that could make me feel this way 
but oh god how i miss those days

how i miss those days

Mr Meanor demo (edit)

The boxer (cover)

Once the pillar has fallen
There isn’t any getting it back
Getting it back
I held the world
In my shaky hands
And crushed it in my palms
All I wanted was you gone

Once the edges have softened
There’s no turning back
The evidence for e everything against us
I thought that I would have another chance at
A degradation on my own terms but

There’s too much to hold on in my head
I don’t know where I’m going next

Give in
Your worst impulses can sing you like a chorus
If it’s getting hot in here then
You should maybe check your exits
Give in
Sublimated rage you’ve taken out on innocents
Not to say that I am fully innocent
I just think we should be looking for an exit

If the villain is honest you can give him a name
You can recognize him staring in the mirror
Your can change your conscience on a whim or
You can stay the same
Is it a really a wonder that I’ve got your name
Inscribed across my back
I wear you like a badge of shame
Transmuting yesterdays

There are some things I left unsaid
I’ll hold them in until my death
My death

Give in
Your worst impulses can sing you like a chorus
If it’s getting hot in here then
You should maybe check your exits
Give in
Sublimated rage you’ve taken out on innocents
Not to say that I am fully innocent
I just think we should be looking for an exit

I lost track
I was at the threshold looking back
But I never liked what I saw
Or the act of looking at all
I marked maps
I was trapped inside topography but
If you come and witness me
I’m taking off
I’m not so lost.

Give in
Your worst impulses can sing you like a chorus
If it’s getting hot in here then
You should maybe check your exits
Give in
Sublimated rage you’ve taken out on innocents
Not to say that I am fully innocent
I just think we should be looking for an exit
