Crisis Town

Wake up
I feel it on my skin
I wanted you to act
I want you to begin
But you just turn your back
I see it with my eyes
If you want me to attack
I’ll pull out the knives
Our lives
Are your problem
Our rights
Can’t be stomped on
Crisis town
Crisis town that’s where we’re living
Crisis town
Crisis town have you been there?
Breathe deep
Check if you’re not dead
If air fills up my lungs
It must fill up your head
The noises in your tower
Growing louder than the truth
I just want to protect myself
I just want some proof

Heart's Desire
01:57

There’s a place you know where the pastures glow and the Greenland is so bright
Where the lowlifes smile at the watch face dial for the time will soon be right
In this town there’s never been a liar
Here in Heart's Desire
The ocean there reminds me of something I’ve never heard,
Waves on the back of an eagle fly a thousand silver birds
In this town you’ll never find a fire
Here in Heart's Desire
I could have gone to Heart's Delight or maybe Heart's Content
But they didn’t seem quite right to me so to Hearts’ Desire I went
Oh, why don’t you come by today
There’s a great place for you to stay
I’ve never had a day like this
And I’ve never had a moment of bliss before
And all of the people who came here in the beginning
Were lonely, lonely
But not anymore
In this town there’s never been a crier
Here in Heart's Desire
I could have gone to Heart's Delight or maybe Heart's Content
But they didn’t seem quite right to me so to Heart's Desire I went

Quiet Girl
02:43
|

I was introduced to a quiet girl
And her quiet boyfriend
They interact with mime and whispers
I don’t know how they do it
I guess they’re perfect for each other
But I couldn’t ever ask of them
How they do it on a daily basis
What if they have children?
Unique people are all around me
I don’t know how to handle it
Mundane things can be most astounding
When you’ve never had to deal with it.
Somebody told me about their friend
He only speaks in questions
When he’s asked about why he does it
He only replies “Come again?”
He grew up as an inquisitive boy
Needing to know about different things
Sometimes behavior has a way of sticking
Could you tell if it’s affected me?
I want to meet
I want to meet you
I know someone who never listens
She might be a little self-absorbed
But when she opens up and starts singing
I know that I will never be bored
Some people have a special talent
At the expense of something else
Sometimes I try to figure out what mine is
But I couldn’t really help myself

The Struggle
04:53
|

Half asleep shifting
Gone with a mistress
Do you ever wonder how the half of us could miss this
Mystic vicious sleeping with the fishes
Take a number maybe i will add you to my wishlist
Callback trashy
Wait to attack me
Colour it blue and yellow to make it look contrasting
Fasting lasting longer than that thing
Which if I’ve been told correctly could be something nasty
Don't let me take any chances
Don't let me wait too long
Don't let me break your advances
Make me believe our struggle is gone
As hours pass by looking like the last guy
Wondering if I’m protected becoming a pastime
Last night flashlight pounding on the hash sign
Undercover or detected I’ll be on the hot line.
Grafted drafted take the time to craft it
Marshall a new directive before it gets protracted
Haptic tactic turning on it’s axis
I don’t know what to call it but don’t call it romantic
I can hear your sighs, at the things you see
Everybody lies, nothing’s wrong with me
Holding back the line when the crisis is tight
I’ll take turns ‘til we get it right
And I find whether furrow or fright
That the knife comes out alright
No one needs to tell me ‘bout which contact to cut
I’ll break rank if you bring it up
Storied glances help me push it aside
But it could take me all night
Wide-eyed 9:10 morning in the AM
Cords and cables wrapped around me grapple ‘til the day’s end
Mashup smashup spewing what the glass cut
You tell me that you’ve got a secret I could keep it safe but...
It’s time for you to ask for a glass that's half full
To trade for the one you left in the cold
Or wait for the sun to melt what froze
But you can't cus the glass broke
When the ice grows nice flows spill through cracks
When the heat turns up you can’t put it back
But you know that it is what you chose
It’s my life that you don’t know
Let it boil on the sidewalk when the heat turns up
Bubbling bubbling when the heat turns up
On the ground

Like You
05:09
|

You sitting there
At the bar unaware
Of the world that surrounds
This here place, this here town
I could not ask anybody
Else but you for the impression
Of a person wasting precious time
Don’t bother asking me questions
Because I don’t have the answers
You thought that I knew my way around?
Long ago I wanted to be like you
Long ago I wanted to be like you
Long ago I wanted to be like you
But that was so long ago what am I gonna do
You came to say
You’re in for a lot
And I should repay
All of this time
I’m thinking of ways
To make you align
As you drag me round the city
I cannot help but reflect on
What this would have meant to me in those days
Context effortlessly shifting
Every day there are some changes
But we don’t notice anything for a while
I just keep remembering
Those days back before rethinking
My approach to the life you were living
I wish I could fondly say
Things were better back in those days
But looking back I can recognise the issue
Long ago I wanted to be like you
Long ago I wanted to be like you
Long ago I wanted to be like you
But that was so long ago what am I gonna do
Now what am i gonna do?
