We walk out to a beautiful night, in the glow of the pale moonlight, my baby beholding a magical sight with you I know that the time ain't right, but it’s building my appetite, now honey maybe we start this night anew And now that the music's low, and I'm feeling so good to go and start it, with you in the pale moon glow with me You and I ain't allowed, I know, so I'm trying to take it slow to start with, but there's nowhere I would rather be This isn't the place or the time (but it's beautiful) it's a beautiful crime with you (tonight) it shouldn't feel right, but it feels so magical, A beautiful crime with you! The last time that we did this dance, we were both here for romance, weren't we? this time we won't let our feelings show I know you feel it from a glance, while I'm stuck in this frozen trance lookin' at ya, This could be our final chance to go We don't wanna get hurt again, put ourselves through all that pain like last time, trying to recover from the fight I know we're incompatible, and we drive each other up the wall, now don't we? but what's the harm in staying one small night? This isn't the place or the time (but it's beautiful) it's a beautiful crime with you (tonight) it shouldn't feel right, but it feels so magical, A beautiful crime with you! This isn't the place or the time but tonight it just feels so magical, it shouldn't feel right but tonight is a beautiful crime with you

28 Years 05:20
Can’t tell the reasons I’m going Can’t see the reasons I’m going Can’t feel the reasons I’m going Can’t hide the reasons. I’m going nowhere Wanna be somewhere I’m going nowhere Wanna be somewhere with you.

You're a dead squeeze Crushing air that I can't breathe Freeze, freeze You're a floodgate Drip until we're blood mate Squeeze, squeeze You should leave me before I get too scary… You're a false start Scratching lines on a cold heart Feed me You're a death star Made some trades on the altar Too. Far. You should leave me before I get too scary… I’m a wild one Taste of the world, son Take it or go Leave me alone When I give you so much, why do you take? It's almost as if you hate to be filling the feelings I can't shake

Been in Lockdown since day one Where've the days gone? doing standups with my joggers on took a 5 minute warning to wake up took a whole extra hour to make lunch I'm stuck in the house playing games man, I think I need something to take up man I think I need something to change up I think I need something to... I need to something do with my time can't be shooting at hoops, that's commiting a crime (it is) shout out to marcus for hosting the bake offs, can't lie making yule logs a hell of a vibe. (it is) And David and Sasha I'm sorry, I know you've been waiting on me and I promise I'll try (oops) last year was not in the script not even a bit and I know that I'm just not the type to get up at 4 and then go for a run! there's people in lockdown that do this for fun?! there's people in lockdown that actually finish at 5 and still head out for walks in the sun?! couldn't be me, I'm as slow as they come finish at 8, and I know that I'm done maybe I'll cook up a quick easy meal but more likely I'll order a pizza for one like watchu’ know about doms cocktails, black out pull pool racks out get values boxed like pacquiao VAR when tasks get out of scope Redux that, might just give ‘em some hope follow up with the hooks, might just have ‘em on ropes (KO!) i'm still out here trying to take GME straight to the moon (it crashed?! oh my days I'm a fool) at least I can still go to cancun? wait what?! We missed out on Hard Rock hotel? no way! (might have something to do with COVID) you don't say! and it’s looking peak this year At this rate I might have to wait till next may! How many console logs I left back there? (yikes) Speedrunners how I'm landing hooks like "get back here!" Surprised you got hit by ant's falcon down air? bro, you're def not from round here (and RapSong2 didn't make it in time I guess that's fine maybe next year I'll perform it live I definitely won't)

Got your message in the morning Such a funny way of talking Spoke the wisdom of the living Saw your footprints in the morning Had me dancing like I'm falling Felt the rhythm of forgiving [Forget myself] Caught your shadow in the evening I'm so glad you're still believing Something's better now than nothing, nothing Found your message in the evening I'm just scrambling for the meaning Give me the secrets I’ve been missing Got your message in the morning

Better 03:29
Temperatures are running high And we really could have seen it coming Consequences never entered our minds As we danced to someone else’s drumming Speculation running wild In an ecstasy of our own making We were winning and we didn’t know why And we didn’t care what we were taking We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Hanging from a fraying thread Scrabbling just to keep on holding It was easier to fall instead Not to stick or split when we were folding Caught out when the music stopped Our colours turned to grey We saw we were at a loss In the harsh light of the day We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Better in time Better than where we started Better in mind Better in health and heart and Better in kind Better to build a better way We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) We’ve been tearing and breaking but we’ll be better (we’ll be better, we’ll be-) Ready for any weather ‘cause we’ll get it together (we’ll be better, we’ll be better)

Consequences 03:19
We’re the force that fights your fires We’re who answers when you call We’re the children you inspired We’re the flies who left the wall So come and try us We got all day So come on, try us And still the music skips a beat It’s like the ground beneath my feet So why‘s it always feeling so damn hard I guess there’s times we’ve lost our sight Oh, in the dead of night But still we carry on We stand defiant Don’t you deny us So come on, try us So are we still holding on to something We get a million chances, yet we’ve missed the one We carry on

Like Colour 01:49
There is a theory that we all see Colour differently What you call red I call red as well But Actually we’re seeing two completely different things The internal signals that are sent to our brains To our consciousness Could be completely different Even though we both describe it as red There’s no words we could use to describe The internal feeling that colour has Like colour There’s Intrinsic things unique to each of us That we’ll never be able to describe to each other These sort of Deep experiences inside our heads That only we will ever experience In the entire history of the human race No-one has ever experienced it before and No-one will ever experience it again Everybody’s experience of the universe is Completely unique to them Like colour Everything is unique

Bloom 02:10

I heard a gunshot out in the open I felt the bullet rip through the heart of the night I saw the wound: red, gushing, gaping Staring me down, telling me strange things “Tear me apart,” I heard it cry I was so caught up it what I had seen I just forgot to turn and run And then I felt it Like the fury of a thousand spirits cast over the ocean It will swallow us whole for what we have done I felt the pain take a hold of my senses Strike me down, and pull the air from my lungs And I was told -- I was told to stop this torture We should hold ourselves We should hold ourselves accountable We should hold ourselves accountable For our own end

Time slows Who knows where we go from here? How to see it clear Moons and suns The ink runs on the title page I’ll go, I’ll stay I’m alone out on the ocean, I am floating on the foam I’m looking for a memory, I used to call it home The storm is getting closer and I’m trying not to mind But when it comes please don’t leave me behind Light and shade The Queen of Spades will make me new Will see me through And who behind a face I can’t recall The one to tell the meaning of it all It’s coming time to fantasize the fortune and the fall To try again and fail and still stand tall I am running into problems, I am running out of time I am running towards a quiet place that I can’t seem to find I’m coming through the thicket and the thorns that rake my skin But when I knock I know you’ll let me in For all this time there’s only one and one alone To bring to mind the sweetest thing I’ve ever known And it’s you You get me through You build me from the rubble and you turn the sky to blue It’s you
