Oh, No (Intro)

Lyrics:
I’m not your little trophy
I’m not your prize to be won
All my work for all your fun
Oh, oh
I’m not your badge of honour
I’m not your accolade
Not a soul for you to save

Little Trophy
03:28
|

Lyrics:
Take me to the forest I’m knocking on wood Just because you want to doesn’t mean that you should
You think you’ve got my whole world but nothing gold can stay Lose your grip and all the stars will fade to grey - I’m going away.
I’m not your little trophy I’m not your prize to be won All my work for all your fun Oh, oh, oh no.
You lured me in with fish hooks - they’re ripping my mouth Jump this ship before it all starts heading south
That was touch and go there - that was a close call Another venture in exchange for nothing at all.
I’m not your badge of honour I’m not your accolade Not a soul for you to save Oh, oh, oh no.
Don’t touch don’t look give back what you took Don’t look don’t touch you take up too much

For the Birds
03:35
|

Lyrics:
Hide yourself by the sea
Isolation sanctuary
Denial’s on trial for the first time in a while
Send canary down the coal mine
You’re okay so I’m sure it’s just fine
Drop them all down in single file.
Hide yourself, absentee
Segregated matrimony
Fend off the mob - tend to your desires
Don’t care the cost - it’s all for money
Pay the price with alimony
You hang us all like crows on a wire.
Time’s up. Break through.
Don’t you know the crowd’s coming for you?
Hold up. Déjà vu.
Repeat like you always do.
Can you hear the blackbird singing?
In the dead of night it’s bringing a call for all who’ve survived
Fight the flock, wreck the herd
Roaring freedom for the birds
Don’t wait, the moment has arrived.
Whatever you’ve said whatever you’ve heard
Whatever’s been bled whatever’s been blurred
Roaring freedom for the birds.

It's Not Up to Me
03:20
|
|||
Lyrics:
It’s not up to me to come running to you whenever you’re in distress
At the beck and call of a wrecking ball you make my life a mess.
Not gonna tuck my tail between my legs and run
Not gonna stop and freeze, consider what’s been done.
Let all your demands roll off my back, but then it started to break
Too intertwined, too undermined to see my escape
Not mild or meek, just too tired to speak - twisted words so aimless
To your disbelief it’s not up to me to make you famous.
Not gonna tuck my tail between my legs and run
Not gonna stop and freeze, consider what’s been done.
I’m gonna fight you for the crimes that you have served
Anger’s come along to deliver what’s deserved.
Set the wildfire free it’s confining me
Set the wildfire free it’s defining me
Oo Oo Oo Oo it’s going now

Another Level
03:34
|
|||
Lyrics:
Saw a ship on the horizon
Is it real or an illusion?
I’m running out of time I’m running out of my mind
You think you’re the answer I can’t find.
You take my time you take my money
Lure me in with your milk and honey
Careful, careful another level Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
Want the shirt off of my back? (I want it all)
Pull my heart from my rib rack (I want it all)
Any parts to salvage? Anything left? (I want it all)
Make a bet and I’ll show you my best work yet.
You take my time you take my money
Lure me in with your milk and honey
Careful, careful another level Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
You take my money and you take my time -
you hold the key to all my crimes
Careful there’s another level Ah Ah Ah Ah
Deal with God, deal with the Devil - take it up another level
Deal with the Devil, deal with God - contract feels a little flawed
Deal with God, deal with the Devil - sweaty palms, knees tremble
Deal with the Devil, deal with God - contract feels a little flawed.
You take my time you take my money Lure me in with your milk and honey
(I’m running out of time I’m running out of my mind) (I want it all)
Careful, careful another level Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
(I’m running out of time I’m running out of my mind) (I want it all)
You take my money and you take my time -
you hold the key to all my crimes
(I’m running out of time I’m running out of my mind) (I want it all)
Careful there’s another level Ah Ah Ah Ah

White Rabbit
03:49
|

Lyrics:
I want to start a fire in you.
The smoke is dancing like white rabbits entrancing you to follow through.
Down we go the rabbit hole,
Watching everything unfold -
Stop holding on and start the fire.
She’ll sing to you alluring songs, the rats and children follow along -
Take you down by the river.
Driftwood in a pile, drifting heart and a shifty smile -
Send a smoke signal from the fire.
Things are not always what they seem
I’m spending all my time deciding what does this all mean?
‘Cause it don’t look the same to you as it does for me
So don’t go chasing rabbits chase your dreams.
The darkest days will always clear
Fill up the room with salty tears and swim to the shoreline.
Her own gospel won’t save your soul -
Take back the power and control
Grab the shovel spade and dig her grave.

Written in the Stars
04:51
|

Lyrics:
Watch the bright stars, see the moon
Watch the bright stars, make you move
Stayed with you ‘til early morning
Must’ve missed the sailor’s warning
Polaroid for instant delight
But Polar winds - they bring the ice.
It was written in the stars that we have far to go.
You can say you have a choice but in the dark there’s one sole voice
You can reason, you can rhyme but Polaris writes the paradigm.
There’s no time frame - just a frame of mind
Pull me close like the moon pulls the tide
Try and try and try and then watch the bright stars rise again.
Look up and find what’s been outlined
Take the cure for peace of mind.
