Burden of Youth

All under orders, the sons and the daughters
To carry the flag for all left before us
And I've barely strength to wave it myself
I don't have any answers yet.
I can't give her much, I make means to meet ends
And how she hates new songs about old girlfriends
Unless I'm spinning fables somewhat less than favourable of them
I'm terribly sorry this once awkward kid
Never had magic bullets, the iron sky did
And I still miss the words that you say
I don't have any answers yet
I scavenged for truth in the ashes of my youth
Oh, but they were long cold, I suspect I got old In the interlude
I'm forever disarmed by the cocky, the cool and the calm
Now I'm socially stable but, I'm still so easily alarmed
Cos time let it slip, the sobering truth
That I've lost my grip on the burtden of youth
I've had confirmed in everything I've never learned
And the lines on my face are the proof
Now I'm mired in mundane
My concious, constrained and unable

New Leaf

Driving to your house almost felt the same
By the streets and turnings this could be any day
And I pull up to your door
As you open up, your arms out wide
You tell me look good, I step inside
To knock your heart out on the floor
When I say "I can't do this anymore"
I hate the way that I've hurt you
I used to take away all your pain
Gave you a piece of my heart and the rest just died
I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside
I don't know if I miss you or I'm feeling alone
Or why I'm willing you to message me
Light up my phone
I say I'm calling, I change my mind
But I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside
I won't listen to the songs I like to
Cos I don't want them to remind me of you
A new leaf over now the flowers have died
But I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside, oh.
I'll say it on the inside, say it on the inside
Did we really have a future together
When we were better in the now than forever?
But it stopped us from feeling alone
Can't help but think about the better times we've had
And if I ended it then why am I so sad?
Though I really want to tell you too
Mixed messages aren't fair to you
And though I know it had to end
Don't ever think that I don't want to see your face again

Never Saved my Soul

In a box of old flash photographs, of nights I can't remember
Full of faces, fresh and yet to wear the world
Well, I'm looking through, there's one of you I thought I'd lost forever
Cracked and faded, all your corners curled
Well I felt barely suitable, as you were truly beautiful
You walked towards me, everybody turned
I thought that you were wild and free, when you said you saw a light in me
I saw no reaosn then to be concerned
But then you asked me if I had a religion
Because, you said you were in love with your god
And did I think that he would come between us?
I couldn't tell if you were joking or not
You wrote your number on a passport photo
Saying "call me and I'll save you tonight"
But you know I never dialed your number
No, I never made that call
Doubt you waited by the phone
And you never saved my soul
It shouldn't be so complicated
3 minutes while we both speed date
Never threw your picture out
And I wonder who you're saving now
I wonder who you're saving now
How many pictures did you take?
Should I have been the one to call you back?
Did I make a mistake
Well all I knew by minute 2, was I was warming up to you
I'm thinking maybe you'll give us a whirl
Then you looked at me quite seriously, 10 seconds into minute 3
Saying you'd "like Libby, for a girl"

Poison Air

I know I should have never started something
With barely any of me there
I couldn't fix a hole with another broken soul
And poison air
You said you loved the drama
But you never said you loved it all a little more than you loved me
You got me questioning your sanity
You were my nirvana
In the sense you made me feel like all the spirit was leaving me
Going somewhere it would be happy
I couldn't be your rock
Though we both sank like stones
I was only seeing you a few weeks, you're going through my phone
You couldn't have got me more wrong if you tried
And you tried
I could hear you ticking
You're thinking what I'm gonna do that's gonna put you in a fever tonight
I think you worried when we didn't fight
I'd see your temper quicken
I'd watch you compact, compress, waiting for a chance to explode
I couldn't do another episode
We wanted it to work
We knew it never did
Because I was just a fraud and you acted like a kid
You couldn't make me stay
You never got my point
Oh, I wanted less Siobhan Fahey in my Marcella Detroit
I really tried to love you
But you really made that hard
And I could never hold a candle to
Your never ending dark
I want to hope you found your reason to celebrate
