By the By 04:12
I’ve taken nothing, but it’s by the by I’ll fake another “Sunday state of mind” In the meantime Even if I’m not my own “kind” I don’t mind I’ll find out, when we’re all out of luck We never really get enough I’ll find out, when we’re all out of luck That I don’t want to give it up Don’t need the funding, make up your mind I’ll make it up or something, if on the line You don’t need my peace of mind Don’t take it for a sign I don’t mean to be unkind But I don’t care if you’re not fine
2.
We are looking at a list of people out of time We are thinking how to make a mental compromise We will not fake We will not lie You were never out of line We know your price You have your pride You are only out of time Paid out, sugar coated Made out, never voted Way down, overcoated Safe now, no motive
3.
Take a breath Think about whether we should think aloud Follow up, make amends I don’t know, it depends All our conversation history Are you faking it for me? Take a moment, make me wait Make a note, compensate Right now I’m figuring out your type By now I figure that you’re alright Right now you never cross the line Right now you’re a beautiful waste of time
4.
Wait Around 03:58
I’m a number, I’m a face I’m a link to you you’re struggling to place That’s a funny point of view But then again, to me that’s nothing new You don’t need to know me You don’t need to wait You don’t need to know my name Hey, I can’t work out your deal (Wait around, I need some time...) Wait around for your reveal Help, I don’t know how to feel (Wait around, oh, never mind...) Are you fake or are you real? You want your common ground Regrettably I don’t have much around Think you want to work me out? Regrettably I don’t think you’re allowed Time enough to blink Time enough to speak again Not enough to think Not enough to rearrange
5.
Misery Chick 04:06
Wide awake and still in bed Faking all the interest Pass it off as real intent Liking people even less You’re so young You’re so right, always right Feel like I know you Daria we never met But I miss you nonetheless Don’t want to show you Together we’d be such a mess But I wish you all the best Welcome in, be my guest I like you more when you’re depressed Never easily misled You are not the subtlest May not be plain to see You’re not a mystery I sort of want to pass your test It’s rather cute to me It’s your anxiety Not cardiac arrest
6.
Fine Lines 04:24
Same times, in between Fine lines and tight scene Contradicting, you know how I heal? You’re predicting that’s what I feel? I make out that it’s easy on my own I take it out, but then I take it all back home I make out I listen when you’re speaking I found out it’s you that I’ve been treating Calm it down, she’s scared of what she’s feeling Count it down, I’m scared of what I’m eating So tight and so thin, fill out to fit in Feels so defeating, but I’m not on pills I dream of eating, but I’m not ill You break it down and you hide it on the go We figured out that you don’t know we know you know I won’t sink, I’ll swim I don’t think I’m not thin
7.
No Makeup 03:37
I’ve taken out the detail Not making out to retell It’s not what you think A smile and a wink isn’t part of the deal I’m starting to think That you’ll never blink until I kneel You made it easy, you made it all a game I won’t forget you, but I might forget your name It figured out with no break up I’m nearly out of your makeup Remember, I said you’re not easily read Whatever the mail But in your defence, you don’t know what I meant You’re learning to fail I could not get away, your calendar in mine You were a holiday I remember all the time
8.
Don’t need a name, don’t need a reason, no tie Don’t want a game, it’s not the season, no lie I’ll make your miles into metres May take a while without a mirror, and I... Want you to know I’m on the line You need to read between the lines Want you to wake me up when you are on my mind Don’t need to lie to make you fine You need to read between the lines Why won’t you wake me up before we’re out of time You want to save, it’s quite appealing, too right You’ll find a way, to be revealing, in time I’ll take a smile over here in candlelight, a new idea in mind I want to wake you up before we’re out of time
9.
We wait a moment and settle down We may come over if you’re around You’re taking over and you say they’re not allowed Learning how to kick them when they’re down You’re never open when we are out We’re kind of sober or thereabout You’re making over all the faces in a frown Finding any way to run them down Don’t think I lost it, don’t think that I found I never notice, when you’re not around Don’t need a motive when I’m not allowed Go through the motions, get another round We’re out of funding in another town She wasn’t under, you let her down You’re taking over but beware of what I have found What’s goes around me come around Don’t need her, don’t need her now - I’m in no doubt I’ll see her, I’ll see her around, I’m in not out Another season, another crowd Forever feeling forever cowed I know you’re thinking it, I know you don’t feel proud I know you’re thinking what you’re scared to say aloud
10.
Inside Out 04:34
I’m not invited (I’m not that excited) Any way you write it, I want to stay home May have forgotten, you think you’re post modern Don’t lose your bottle, I think you’ve got it wrong In the light, how you like, you will find a way Up all night, on my mind, you will lie awake I know I’m not your kind Inside out and out of my mind and Wish you were easy not to follow I know what’s on my mind Inside out and out of my life I think I’ll leave it ‘til tomorrow I got the letter (I thought you knew better) I never even read it, I’d rather not know Image is vital (looking suicidal) Any way you like it, I feel at home You know why I won’t lie, I won’t find a way You’ll know why, in good time, life I while away Put your disguise away I’m naked, turn your eyes away You’ll make it either way I’d make it then, but not today You may be right again Don’t fake it and deny the pain You seem to find a way I bet you’ll make it, either way
