I left it all just a little late kept saying all or nothing. what I once thought meant doing great, will seem fuck-all for nothing. time, it looked like it would wait 'till I came through with something. or that failure, it could be great, just as long as you live with something. but that something, it seems, just a little more complex than it used to be so if failure is what's to be, I had better be sure to fail spectacularly 'cos I'm special and you should feel what I'm feeling now so greatness, hey hey please do not allude me now. some special, had better translate itself somehow, 'cos this failure-ha-ha it seems much less poetic now. please, please pull me down. I'm losing sight of the ground. please, please pull me down. plant my feet back on the ground. I'm waiting here for something great I could be waiting here forever waiting here forever I'm holding out for something great I could be holding out forever holding out holding out I'm waiting here for something great I could be waiting here forever waiting here forever I'm holding out for something great I could be holding out forever holding out holding out for something, that seems, just a little more complex than it used to be so if failure is what's to be, I will be sure to fail spectacularly 'cos I'm special and you should fear what I'm feeling now so greatness, hey hey, please do not allude me now. some special, had better translate itself somehow, 'cos this failure-ha-ha it seems much less poetic now. I'm special. you should fear what I'm feeling now so greatness, hey hey, please do not allude me now. some special, had better translate itself somehow, 'cos this failure-ha-ha it seems much less poetic now. please pull me down, down. I'm losing sight of the ground. please, please pull me down I'll find my feet back on the ground.

Braver 05:52
hey there my friend I want to see you in a beautiful light I don't want to see you just fade into the night I should be braver and I should fear becoming numb to the things that I see you do 'cos I care who you become. I should be braver I should be braver I'm a part of who you are like you're a part of me and my foundations in this world were built dependently upon a notion that my friends would carry me through life so if I watch you fall apart then everything unwinds I should be braver I should be braver and I hope to see you make it work I hope to see you thrive I wanna see you feeling joy each day you are alive so when I don't feel up to it I can look to you and see the image of a person I can aspire to be so I should tell you that you are better I should tell you that you are more to be kinder to yourself you're more important than you thought I should tell you that I need more people like you in my life I should tell you that I want to see you in a beautiful light. hey there my friend I want to see you in a beautiful light I don't want to see you just fade into the night I should be braver and I should fear becoming numb to the things that I see you do 'cos I care who you become hey there my friend I want to see you in a beautiful light I don't want to see you just fade into the night I should be braver and I should fear becoming numb to the things that I see you do 'cos I care who you become I should be braver I should be braver I should be braver

Lost My Mind 05:15
...and I know this place I've been here before and I lost my mind here before, before, before you're someone I loved hardly a night goes past without me thinking of the things i said, or did, or did not do all these things that burn me now how badly did they hurt you? and I hope that you're not here each time I step into this haze of hope and fear for you, I do realise that this might be as close as I will come to saying something to you again so know that I feel your breath but I can't see your eyes as absently I drift amidst this see of you while these nights go on my body struck with synaesthesia time, just hold still so that I might see what's real 'cos it might be that things I thought were part of you are now just part of me from here I know this place I've been here before I lost my mind here I lost my mind here I lost my mind here before before Before before Before before Before before Before before Before before Before before Before before Before before ...and it'll happen again time, just hold still so i might see whats real 'cos it might be that things I thought were part of you are now just a part of me from here
