Repilot
And in the blink of an eye two years pass by
I’m not really sure what I did with the time
I lost sight of all the things that matter
And to tell you the truth I’ve been so damn tired
It took all I had just to get by
So dealing with my failing brain was hopeless
It needs to be ok for us to have bad days
For us to phone it in every once in awhile
And if it doesn’t work out
It really doesn’t matter
At least we fucking tried
At least we have each other.
See I’m a sucker for routine
It’s what my family taught me
It’s so ingrained I fear that it might kill me
But every morning I wake up
I’m no different from anyone
So for now I’m moving on, I’m getting out
It needs to be ok for us to have bad days
For us to phone it in every once in awhile
And if it doesn’t work out
It really doesn’t matter
At least we fucking tried
At least we have each other.

Hampshire Sent Her
Well they were simpler times
They put up welcome signs
And people came from miles around to be there
And I was like that once
Before my guard came up
There was this one girl, maybe she’s the reason
We met there once
In its final days
The shops were boarded up just like her heart
And no it wasn’t love
What was I thinking of?
I guess I needed something to believe in.
And if what we had amounts to anything
It was just the rain on the concrete setting in
She chose to stay and I chose to leave
She chose to die and I chose to dream
Then the rust set in
Eventually
Those welcome signs now look like warnings to me
When they tore it down
We said goodbye
I knew that something changed, it was over
And if what we had amounts to anything
It was just the rain on the concrete setting in
She chose to stay and I chose to leave
She chose to die and I chose to dream
He chose to dream
He chose to dream

Get Out Of The Van

Get Out Of The Van
These towns all look the same
And you’re drinking to numb the pain
The drink soon turns to rage
Then you do it all over again
Each day time resets
And nobody says a thing
We pretend it’s all ok
Got to keep it all moving
For a week every now and then
We get out of town and we pretend
Try to reach out. Make connections to the world
Try to find some kind of reason for it all
We don’t do this for the fame
The fact is we can barely play
And nobody gives a fuck
But we’re clinging to this every day.
Maybe it’s worth more
To keep ourselves intact
It doesn’t mean giving up
But for now get out of the van
For a week every now and then
We get out of town and we pretend
We’re not fragile. We’ve got it all figured out
But we’re trying to find some kind of meaning in this now
Get out of the van and get some help

A Near Death Wish
I’m sick of wasting days like this
Yeah I know life is short and we’ll all die
But that won’t change a thing it seems
So uninspired, so far away from everything
My mind is stuck. Hard wired to fail
I never thought it would be like this
The knowledge of my own mortality
Pins me down and chokes the life right out of me
Paralysed and scared I’ll fail
So what’s the point in ever trying anything?
I swear at times it seems
I have a near death wish
I need something to wake me up from all of this
I know we only get one chance at this life
But I’m drowning in my thoughts
And I can’t swim myself to shore
We tried and failed
We tried and failed
But there’s no shame in giving in
Cos some days there’s just no way that you can win
I’ll celebrate the smallest victories
Slow and steady, that’s the way that I’ll achieve
I swear at times it seems
I have a near death wish
I need something to wake me up from all of this
I know we only get one chance at this life
But I’m drowning in my thoughts
And I can’t swim myself to shore
