Model's Fool 02:48
You snap a picture And you snatch it fast You gotta grab the moment before it’s passed When you develop You do it right You gotta hang it up before somebody lets in the light So carelessly Bleach it out, bleach it out So carelessly You’re not used To being the muse You don’t like having the attention solely focused on you I understand it But I think that you’re a model’s fool You need to stop yourself enforcing someone else’s rules So carelessly Bleach it out, bleach it out So carelessly You piece together All the ragged strips Of a ruined moment focused on paper lips A silver lining lies In the silver salts It’s pretty hard for picture evidence to turn out false But a split second is exactly that So carelessly Bleach it out, bleach it out So carelessly So carelessly Bleach it out, bleach it out So carelessly

Early Grave 04:18
I can’t forget the way that he looked Trying not to draw attention to himself on a southbound train And I can’t forget the curl of his lip When I spoke of cigarettes between my teeth on a long night out On a long night out I can only miss him in dreams now When my shutdown brain forgets Back to the start When my hands shook hard And we practiced our language with a sweet regard How could I create when I’d never been brave? Now I’m reminiscing when there’s nothing there to save Yeah, back to the start Before my time When real life was on the borderline I won’t worry myself into an early grave Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save I can’t forget the rattling nights Afraid that I was boring now, ashamed I wasn’t worth the breath Lucky I saved it, lucky I know That the good stays good, and the worst Is yet to come ‘Cos I still have feelings for him But I’m never gonna take him back Back to the start When my hands shook hard And we practiced our language with a sweet regard How could I create when I’d never been brave? Now I’m reminiscing when there’s nothing there to save Yeah, back to the start Before my time When real life was on the borderline I won’t worry myself into an early grave Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save ‘Cos everything’s peachy til it’s not And I was so keen but he forgot That skin keeps healing and it’s nice to hear thoughts ‘Cos you can’t live on speech alone When you’re driven by the plot Bad endings, Bad endings The capital’s breaking off And I still have feelings for you But I’m never gonna take you back Back to the start When my hands shook hard And we practiced our language with a sweet regard How could I create when I’d never been brave? Now I’m reminiscing when there’s nothing there to save Yeah, back to the start Before my time When real life was on the borderline I won’t worry myself into an early grave Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save Thinking on hearts Thinking on hearts I won’t worry myself into an early grave Thinking on hearts when there’s nothing left to save

Grey 04:21
You can get used to the difficulty of Admitting you don’t know Saying ‘I don’t know’ But it’s a pretty hard phrase to hear You tell me you don’t know You tell me you don’t know We said if we got grey We’d say so quick We’d talk it out We’d make the split You left me waiting No goodbye You didn’t know I’ll never know why Maybe I’ll never be a person for a person Deep down I always knew it I can’t seem to do it And it’s some really rough luck to catch We’re both along the same lines I don’t know where the blame lies We said there’d be no blame There’d be no pain And yet I’m hurting All the same You left me waiting No goodbye You didn’t know I’ll never know why I’m not afraid to state I haven’t got a clue But I’ll give it a go Just take it super slow It’s a pretty hard phrase to hear When answers don’t exist Was there something that I missed? We said if we got grey We’d say so quick We’d talk it out We’d make the split You left me waiting No goodbye You didn’t know I’ll never know why

Discipline is not control It’s patience for a rogue obsessive soul I think somewhere down the line I got yours and you got mine Over, under Fluctuate Peace will always be in tow If you know when to let things go Pain too often leaves us blind So we’ll tell each other when it’s time ‘Cos you are not someone’s marble make And you are not chance for them to take And you didn’t end up here by mistake We’ve got to tip the scales I don’t have half the heart you do and I am steadfast like glass with you And I will not last, yeah, I will not last we’ve got to tip the scales You were totally destroyed A figure that was vaguely humanoid I could form, but I can’t free The extra life that lurks inside of me Over, under, Balanced state You hand out, hand out, hand out all yourself Disguised hands that reach out for some help And my tight fists were somewhat out of sorts Waiting to fit right inside of yours ‘Cos you are not someone’s marble make And you are not chance for them to take And you didn’t end up here by mistake We’ve got to tip the scales I don’t have half the heart you do and I am steadfast like glass with you And I will not last, yeah, I will not last we’ve got to tip the scales We’re a good team when we’re applied Love is a shape and we’re the sides And you’re the first thought that springs to mind to finally tip the scales So tell me I’m done and I’ll conclude And I’ll coax you out of your solitude The two of us got an attitude And we’re gonna tip the scales ‘Cos you are not someone’s marble make And you are not chance for them to take And you didn’t end up here by mistake We’ve got to tip the scales I don’t have half the heart you do and I am steadfast like glass with you And I will not last, yeah, I will not last we’ve got to tip the scales

Eden 03:02
I’ve always had an open mind ‘Cos the world’s big It doesn’t make sense that if you got a brain You should close it If life can rise from the dusty dirt And mudstains can come out of all my shirts Then something greater is bound to happen round here Heat can settle on quiet lives Like a blanket Between these trees You can feel the spin of the planet The atmosphere has a pattern of speech And I think Eden’s within my reach ‘Cos something greater is bound to happen round here Put your soul in it Don’t quit Existence is a puzzle and we’re a good fit Yeah, something greater is bound to happen round here I’ll lie in wait and see if anything’s moving Rest up, baby, I’ll tell you if anything’s blooming ‘Cos if life can rise from the dusty dirt And we can come out of this unhurt Then something amazing is bound to happen round here Yeah, something greater is bound to happen round here Something greater is bound to happen round here.
