I'll let you know it all Spinning my brain up and down before I forget I'm wishing that you could accept it but I just can't explain My brain and I Facing clouds You, my brain and my brain and you Felt up and down, I can judge simple situations Anything more, I will wait until everything is late The time, when it comes, will be filled with procrastination Filling a space with some meaningless information Spinning my brain up and down before I forget I'm wishing that you could accept Even I don't understand Filling my head up with lies and misinformation Taking away every single one of my reasons Is it the people or is it my intervention? I'm only carried away again if I knew me

Look outside and there's a fire starting To distract from my constant writing It's all I can see Look outside at something distracting At a screen or a person acting Like an imbecile Wish I was outside, not in this place Anything at all to see your face Better do something productive soon I wish I was doing something for you Before too long my mind races To make up for lost time, I'm wasting Everything I own Given or a loan It's probably good that I'm lazy; Do you remember how crazy everybody seems? If it were up to me Which it never seems to be I'd sleep eight or nine hours Near her shop bought flowers Wish I was outside not in this place Wish my hand could reach and touch your face Everything just takes up so much time I'm wishing time would fly, we'd be just fine

I can see the radio I can see me overthinking a problem and Cycling round the world before solving anything I can think of many things that I'd rather be Tell me again how you think that I should be I can see the radio I can probably guess how long I will spend Idly and comatose Feeling, dealing, reeling, overanalysing Everything but, and I think I'm constipated Learning everything I think I'm learning everything in a heartbeat I'm having a break (repeat) Television idiot TV Sixteen-Minute Advert Break Turn up the volume; I can't hear the wisdom So much more important than anything you say to me Feeling, dealing, reeling, overanalysing Everything but, and I think I'm constipated Learning everything I think I'm learning everything in a heartbeat I'm having a break (repeat) I don't know what I ever expected to get done I don't know why I didn't expect it to go wrong I don't know why the television is still on Advertising, overly distracting Feeling, dealing, reeling, overanalysing Everything but, and I think I'm constipated Learning everything I think I'm learning everything in a heartbeat I'm having a break (repeat)

Breakfast 02:09
You look like you need a hand Take a seat for a sit-down or a sleep Maybe I can help you understand what a week you've had Your face tells me everything Take a seat, have a coffee or a tea Even have it in the mug you bring You can take your time (The) truth is, I anticipate Every week I can see it in my head And I'm never filled with any dread Come and sit with me I get ever so lonely This arrangement is so mutually helpful I could even say, to me, it's like therapy Feeling like we help each other Can I at least cook the supper? Do you want to talk about her? Can I at least buy you dinner? Thank you for cooking my breakfast I know it's not just because I made yours first

A Daydream 01:36

Water Lego 03:55
It's late in the day, we're chilling out in the front room No one would blame us on a Sunday afternoon Your telephone is ringing, I guess it's my turn You had to leave me with the coffee that I so graciously burned I say "I'll let her in," responsible, I'm sure Little do we know what is happening is such a silly chore I hear the buzzer, like a razor in my ears Reading her voice, it seems she's seriously fearful to get in Quickly, I answer And open the door for her Before I can stutter She says that she's sorry she's so annoying Where did that come from? Deliberating, what if she's heard? Maybe it's nothing Or maybe it explains the reason She wouldn't even bother having a conversation To think I was devastated I feel shivers running round like a TV screenplay Fictional truths you couldn't even fathom if you tried Lazy manners Contrived Sounds like you're doing time Can you fathom a lie? Is she even alive?

Not 17 04:05
I can see a number (I'm) pretty sure it's starting with five Sitting in the corner Of my left eye What the hell? Where did the time go? Last time I checked, it was one Has it been four hours? One more game and maybe call it Like we did Four games ago Post-turning the lights off And after fumbling over my room I barely remember Any of the subject matters "I wish I had a mirror that wasn't in such an awkward setting" "You know that film composer? You know, I've totally forgotten his name" What the hell Where did the time go? When we called it it was late Has it been another hour? Say good night, we're up tomorrow After four hours sleep What the hell What were we thinking? We believed Sleeping so late would be fine Now we're in pieces We can't be late again Let's pick up all of the four-man debris We're not 17 And it's not 5pm

Pictures 05:15
Wandering concrete streets Orangey yellow grey Wondering when Wondering why Pictures Pictures drawing pictures Hanging in wooden frames of mind Counting the woollen sheep Is harder when losing sleep Pictures Pictures are distracting When they're relating in my head Can you recall, I convinced you Screaming and kicking To crack a grin I want that again Such inviting easy listening I'm so sorry for such self-pity Pictures Pictures drawing pictures When it arrives I'll try not to cry Oh god Please don't turn the yellow lights down Leave them I don't care even if they Keep me Losing sleep all night All night Someone's missing in my Twin size Are you listening?

Weekends 02:16
I can see you on weekends And we can play at co-inhabitants And I can see it in my head I can see you on weekends But now it's more than just weekends Now I can see you every day
