I’m not special, I’m just a human
There are so many of us, I stopped counting
And in my free time, I grab my guitar
And I write songs that aren’t sweet nor bitter
And I try to be patient
Live a life of moderation
Get immune to frustration
And just be me, without a doubt
No, wait
I am a genius, one in a million
The world ain’t ready for my opinions, that’s right
I do some freestyle, it sounds like magic
The tragic thing is no one seems to get it
And I try to be patient
Live a life in correlation
With my grand expectations
And just be me, without a doubt
No, wait
I’m a loser, and I’m losing it some more
I can’t seem to figure out how life is meant to work
Nobody gets me, nobody tries enough
I might let it go, cause I can tell you, it's rough
And I try to be patient
Live a life of moderation
Get immune to frustration
And just be me, without a doubt
No, wait
I'm perfection and my limit is the sky
Just need a little push for things to go wild
My words are wisdom, its just a question of time
For my brilliance to get fully recognized
And I try to be patient
Live a life in correlation
With my grand expectations
And just be me, without a doubt

My City
03:59

My city, it has no eyes
my city, it has no ears -
it has an empty face
My city, it has no mouth
my city, it never shouts -
it has an empty face
Oh and if you need help -
you are in the wrong place
Yeah if you need help -
you are in the wrong place
My city, it has no fear
my city, it sheds no tears -
it has an empty face
My city, it has no fame
my city is not to blame -
it has an empty face
Oh and if you need help -
you are in the wrong place
Yeah if you need help -
you are in the wrong place
Cause my city always sleeps
and my city never dreams
and my city will make you fade
roam its streets and dissipate
into thin air.
My city will make you feel
that you can get up and leave -
with an empty face
My city will make you try
to dig deep, to the other side -
with an empty face
Oh and when you dig deep -
you are in the wrong place
Yeah when you dig deep -
you are in the wrong place
Cause my city always sleeps
and my city never dreams
and my city will make you fade
roam its streets and dissipate
into thin air

Let Me Go
02:45
|
|||
|
You had enough of me
I give you heart aches
You'd rather hang out with someone else
Who walks on eggshells
I said let me let you let me go
It's kind of awkward
You seem embarrassed all the time
I know I do suck
So please, why don't you say goodbye
I said let me let you let me go
Just cause you like me
doesn't mean you deserve this mess
Love's accidental
please human up and walk away
I said let me let you let me go
It will be easy
Press reject, don't answer my calls
Time is a medicine
Doesn't heal wounds but it lets one go
I said let me let you let me go

Spectacles

I said I'm tired, I said I'm weak
I said I'm sorry, I'm gonna sleep
Up in a tree, its trunks on fire
And all the branches are snapping
I said I'm tired, I said I'm weak
I said I'm sorry, I'm gonna sleep
Down on the ground of a lake
Watching the snakes just gliding
I said I'm tired, I said I'm weak
I said I'm sorry, I'm gonna sleep
Out on a crossing with no lights
And all the cars just passing
I said I'm tired, I said I'm weak
I said I'm sorry, I'm gonna sleep
Up on a hill, covered in ice
And all the tourists just staring
And then one of them pulls their camera out
And films how I freeze to death
And then one of them pulls their camera out
I said I'm dizzy, I said I'm lost
Sick and tired of all the fuss
Ate some candy, drank some milk
Gonna get caught up in traffic
I said I'm dizzy, I said I'm lost
Sick and tired of all the fuss
Moving slow, heartbeat's weak
I guess I'll take the elevator
I said I'm dizzy, I said I'm lost
Sick and tired of all the fuss
Walked the way, made my day
Getting ready for salvation
I said I'm dizzy, I said I'm lost
Sick and tired of all the fuss
Gaping mouths, clapping hands
And all the clowns just staring
And then one of them pulls their camera out
And films how I bleed to death
And then one of them pulls their camera out

Champion

On a day like this
I like to forget the dead
I like to forget the alive
I like to forget what I'm here for
On a day like this
I like the skies to be red
I like your heads to be small
I like it all to turn around once more
On a day like this
I like your tires to be flat
I like all highways to melt
I like the pieces to fall out of place
On a day like this
I don't care if things get fixed
I don't care if you get mugged
I don't mind walking out into the dark
Cause I'm restless I'm restless
I'm headless and I'm headless
I'm taintless, I'm taintless
I'm shameless, I'm shameless
Like a champion
On a day like this
I like to stick to the abyss
I like to pace up the walls
I like to forget what I'm here for
On a day like this
I like the stars to hang low
I like my feet to get sore
I like the pieces to fall out of place
On a day like this
I like all rats to be fed
I like your pets to go mad
I like it all to turn around once more
On a day like this
I don't care if we get dissed
I don't care who's on your side
I don't mind walking out into the dark
Cause I'm restless I'm restless
I'm headless and I'm headless
I'm taintless, I'm taintless
I'm shameless, I'm shameless

Oh yeah, you got something like a scheme
That makes you different

Freedom
03:42
|

|
The freedom that we got is a new phone and a shag
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to feed our egos till they crack
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to run around with a coffee cup
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to never ever get enough
And I don't want any of that freedom
I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to be a chihuahua or a shark
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to find our very own way to suck
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to tell ourselves that we are smart
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to laugh out loud in a chat
And I don't want any of that freedom
I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to score points and then burn out
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to share pictures of cats and dogs
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to care about no one but ourselves
And I don't want any of that freedom
The freedom that we got is to call it freedom when it's not
And I don't want any of that freedom
I don't want any of that freedom

Going Nowhere
02:54
|
|||
|
Once in a dream
I have seen
That this is going nowhere
Once in your arms
I have sensed
That this is going nowhere
Once on the docks
I have learned
That this is going nowhere
Once in my toes
I have felt
That this is going nowhere
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Once in your eyes
I have seen
That this is going nowhere
Once in the heat
I have sensed
That this is going nowhere
Once on a cliff
I have learned
That this is going nowhere
Once in my palms
I have felt
That this is going nowhere
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Where I Come From
03:01
|
|||
|
They come and sit right next to you
They say: Hey, how do you do?
They add: Hey, you like this song?
And then they ask: where are you from?
Where are you from, where are you from?
Won't you tell me?
They look at you and they smile
They change the subject for a while
They tell you all about themselves
and then they nonchalantly ask
Where are you from, where are you from?
Won't you tell me?
Here's what I say:
I stranded this land
Inside a dead whale
That choked on plastic and nails
That's where I come from
I come from an isle
Away thousands of miles
It never strikes your eye
That's where I come from
I come from a song
That got played on and on
Until it stuck on one chord
That's where I come from
I come from the past
The one that didn't last
It tripped and fell in the grass
That's where I come from
They seem just slightly amused
But in fact they won't like what they heard
They say: Come on, tell me the truth
They say: hey freak, don't be rude
Where are you from, where are you from?
Won't you tell me?
Here's what I say:
I fell down to earth
From a planet in space
Where there's nothing in place
That's where I come from
I come from a star
that you won't see in the dark
It doesn't shine nor spark
That's where I come from
I come from a creek
That runs next to a street
In a city so bleak
That's where I come from
I come from Oz
That is ruled by stray dogs
Wearing jeans and a cross
That's where I come from
And before I'm done - they are gone

Super Egos
04:29

What is it about today
That makes me feel okay
What is it about tomorrow
That makes me feel so shallow
Aa-ha
What is it about today
That makes me feel this way
What is it about those years
That makes me look back in fear
Aa-ha
It's called timing, and it's always wrong
And the spacetime continuum can't take it no more
There is no future and there is no past
There is only an ego that wants to last
What is it about this place
That makes me feel disgraced
What is it about this room
That makes me feel consumed
What is it about this place
That makes me lose my face
What is it about this city
That makes me feel so guilty
It's called geography, and it's always wrong
And the spacetime continuum can't take it no more
There is no future and there is no past
There is only an ego that wants to last
Super Egos
They will get ya,
They will get us all

Self Sufficient
03:16
|
|||
|
I got a friend up on a roof and I never see them anywhere else
And I got a friend who's always on the tube and I never meet them anywhere else
And I got a friend high up in a tree and I wonder how they got up there
And I got a friend deep in the sea and they don't seem to need any air
It's self sufficient to be by yourself
It's self sufficient not to need anyone else
It's self sufficient to fight for your very own cause
It's self sufficient for everybody to be on their own
I got a friend, who's made out of wood, they are always right and they are never wrong
And I got a friend, who's always out of tune, still they don't seem to need anyone
And I got a friend, who doesn't own much and as such they don't mingle with you
And I got a friend, who's staying out of touch cause their therapist told them to
It's self sufficient to be by yourself
It's self sufficient not to need anyone else
It's self sufficient to fight for your very own cause
It's self sufficient for everybody to be on their own
