1 - Everythings owned.

Breathe it slow, ease on out,
in your take of the threshold,
a chain type reaction: a switch.

From the centre, diverting my,
reasons to put your words on antibiotics.

And trust this broadcast, place trust in signs.
Believe in signals and praise designs.

----

Flicker screens, with my blinks,
I put hand out, it waves at
the passers and onlookers.

Try, to gather all those concepts,
lets shuffle them up cause we like to deal patterns.

We always do so, when too late.
We always like to hibernate.

----

Put the right hat on - dress up.
Go and draw it up, build it up, composite sketch it.
And I know, tell you what I'd know.
With everything owned,
we build up just to fall apart.


2 - blind shots

Don’t need, you near this, contagious, well I keep on calling out.
Please save this, its gone backwards, you'll attack this, while l stay neutral.
Can’t get, uneven, so lopsided, and somehow this is fair.
Said and now, we’ve all spoken, both your words will never go nowhere.

Scraped off, like surplus, my notations get, further off each time.
Recall this, I’m bluffing, just blind shots, into your thin air.
So live that life and maybe I won’t get bored of.
The signals, they keep on waiting, yours is the one that never gets out.

We killed it, in collections, of old dreams, and sometimes new ones.
Shed off, behaviours, no favours were ever needed.
To depict all, the nonsense, you wished to chronicle in blank pages.
That stare out, for hours, I lose it, oh I keep on losing my place.

---

Oh, you won’t, no you won't, oh you won’t ever say a single thing.
Oh you can’t, no you can’t, no you can't, ever tell anyone.
Put the lights out, put the lights right out, put the lights right out, put the last one out, put the lights right out, get the lights on out, get the sights on out, and lets fire away.


3 - on your way

I’ve got this: innovative! Oh, how’d you get so elevated?
It could be on a chance fall, or on the odds they had up
Put on the centre stage of....put it all on every page.
those headlines always need reminders, they'll always roam inside us now.

Get on your way out, get on your way,
Oh, how can this be any closer, could I be any further out.
You’re on the way out, you’ve gone away.
An empty output, empty input, doings of a misdemeanour.

Seen on the latest reports, you keep choking on your thoughts.
We'll taunt, do we have a deal, flaunt it if you’ve got appeal.
I'll be skilled in acting other parts, that act that they were someone else,
that act on like they’re someone that they never even heard or known.

Get on your way out, go on your way,
how can this be any closer, how can I be any further now.
They’ll find a way out, oh they’ll find a way.
Sorry I forgot the warning, felt it, passed it, watched it fly, it’s gone.

Say you got that feeling from the latest craze.
They buy it up, as it’s all you would want to be, now I.
Take time to notice what the facts found out,
oh they’ve had enough, yeah they’ve had enough, honest.

They’ve gone away, they’re long away now, how can this be any closer, could it be any further out. They’re on the way, they’ve gone away. Simply doesn’t speak enough, well how could this be going, and if I may, I may, I may, I may, take a new perception swear I’ll, take a new direction honestly. Away, away, away, I'll take a new perception swear I’ll, take a new direction honestly.


4 - what do we have here?

Oh no, what do we have here, the choice has got so clear.
From toasting what’s been done, to a swift departure.

Take the static (you can’t quite get enough of)
Show it, show to (the ones that are eager for you)
What’s the verdict (chase it through the doorway)
Make it all, and (make it yours)

And so, what do they do next, oh what will they suspect.
Having done all that you should, now its time to move right on.

Sort the lights out (lets start the procedure go on)
Clog the lines up (clear invitations, got it)
Ties are severed (just say there were differences here)
Stare to see there’s nothing reflective in those eyes or with those chances that you may have passed on.

Its close to over there, and with every step till then.
They’ll be breaking hearts so cold, but you’ve got them sold, about it!

Take your static (that you cant quite get enough of)
Make and show it (to one that is eager for you)
So whats the verdict (chase it through the doorway)
Make the run off, make this yours . . .


5 - cameras on

So always caught, inside that charm. All contained up, but you would never notice.
It was thrown aside, then it became, a frequent trip on paths that were prone to spotlights.

The challenge is out, get calendars marked up on it.
Captivated, lets pan it and cut now.
Bring the hook out, they'll take it to stun (I'm on it)
Get the press on, get cameras out.

Well, taste it up, spit on out, the sounds got deafening, defining nothing.
From furnishings, to arguments, you couldn't devise a plot where ideals came from.

Get the motive, get movie stars on about it.
Pan it around baby, camera, shot, stop.
Bring the hook out, sync into sunset (I'm on it)
Take it all out, take it on out.

This is your big debut, this is your big shot.
This is your last chance, weren't you a big name at one time.
Lets get the cameras out, it makes them feel young, so young.
Get all the cameras out, cameras out, on, off, start right now.

Get the motive, get movie star shots up about.
Pan it around baby, camera, shot, stop.
Bring the hook out, sync into sunset (back on)
The cameras out, the cameras out.

The challege is up, challenge is out, I'm on it.
Get it all out, take it on out, all about.
Cameras out, calendars out, I'm on it!
Take it all out, take it all out, i'm on it!
Get cameras out, calendars out, now.


6 - persona

say, you look frustrated. that you look like you've had better days.
from tangled footsteps you've fallen, slur "you're gonna get them now" as they . .

just dont get it, pick them off, out of touch - won't let it, think youre so proud, come on
won't get it got them off, no they, just don't get it, never will.

and personas follow, so they'll haunt you down if they should have to
be right here tomorrow, the footnotes say I'll always come through.

cafe's call it culture. feed it things we can't decipher.
comprehend it lazy, and in your head fall, build, nap, cycle. . .

but you just don't get it, cut them off - out of, just won't let it, say they're so proud, go on
won't get that it got them off, no they, just don't get it, never will.

and personas follow, they will haunt you down if they should want to
be your friend tomorrow, those footsteps come and go as they feel.

lets recap on this one, lets recap on what we did that day
couldn't you remember, you could have been a part of everything
no you just won't let it, take you down, go on
just don't let it, take you down,
you just don't get it, take it down,
just don't get it, once again.


7 - thursday

and gone like this, with no cause for returns
you'll never turn on this now, oh
so reliant - on hopes you'll have some scenes to show
quote "enthralling, hmm well" - drive me on outbounds

scene and sound, i can, see this sound, i can
clear this one out if you swear, i'll know, i know, i notice


with nothing new, just write it up
as a part lost in someone elses page
those stories came as bright ideas
yet we stood there letting it all pass

scenes and sound, i get, clearer sounds, i can
hear this out if you'll stay, then i know, i know, i know.


8 - last chance

lets talk a little more, spread new cover ups
swear you've been there, a million times before
look at what you've become, such the extrovert
how are you feeling? "well i think i'll need seven more"

(sighs - laughs) "i'm sure you'll be just fine"
(acknowledges - grins) "i know you'll be allright"

yet another one, count it out, get another one,
call him out, yet another done, i know you'll feel right at home


i may want it all now, think all my ideas might even work
and maybe they will, because they're so farfetched
one reminder there, was not really quite enough
twenty something shots, never did the trick

(sighs - laughs) "i'm sure you'll be just fine"
(acknowledges - grins) "i know you'll be allright"

there's yet another one, count it out, get another one,
call him out, yet another done, i know we've seen this all
count them off, count them off, count them off, count count them off.

-----

i feel like, i'm half way, half there.
i feel like, this last chance is on
it seems like, there's sunlight, somelight near
it seems like, there's sunlight, somelight here


9 - switch on / switch off

you said, you would, be there in time, in stride and so cool - but thats no guarantee.
you will have a clue why you did feel like the fool, well then there's clarity

did you ever think you would be, you never thought you could be, you ever thought you should be standing where you are - you never switch on/off, you never switched on/off, and couldn't get the result that they had sought

and here i am, here i stand, call it as you see it, not in the air, will i feel like, i'm ever there, will i, feel like i'd even notice

form it, approach, you know how it all builds, so sweet, oh thats your newest high.
the one that won't survive until the end has gone and run its course and died.

did you ever think you could be, you never thought you would be, you ever thought you should be standing where you are - you never switch on/off, you never switched on/off, and wouldn't get the result that they had sought

and here i am, here i stand, so call it as you see it, not on / it's on, will i feel like, i was.
will i, feel right at home? feel like im even there.


10 - afterglow

stare, till an afterglow
broadcast thoughts, if they're not around
and they'll understand, when least aware
find it takes time, to put it into words

and when it seems, tastes have left you again
from numb to bright lights, oh the sweet collapse

so can we trade, our answers, for landscapes, with nice forecasts
call it off again, call it in the air, well the chances are, it is where you are

long ways, you've gone long ways
you've got everything, so behind you now
label this content, label this archived
such classic moments, that you can't rely on

so can we trade, our answers, for landscapes, with forecasts
lets call it off again, say we even care, chances are it may, give chances all around.
had enough of the lights, i've had enough of the sights, had enough, can we move on?

to departure.... here's to a departure.


11 - 1:7

if i have said enough, i'd probably notice, and
if i have done enough, its probably nothing
so how about those eyes? do they make sentences
how about those ties, those, the ones they pull down.
straight down.

you say there's meaning, in everything you do
sure there's some meaning, but that you don't know
well lets get philosophy out of your schedule
oh its so fortunate when luck has taken them down
straight down

they'll see you when they've all - settled settled settled
you've got just one of that - seven seven seven
they'll feel you when they've been - severed severed severed
you've got them now, all in - sevens sevens sevens
so what now?

12 - the dialogue

start, so you've seen it, yeah you've seen it twice now, so then it must be true
if it comes with all these - package deals with all them celebrities presenting
and maybe theres a little bit of optimism inside us as well!

we can do anything baby if we're putting someone elses mind to it,
and maybe with each slip we'll be delighted and maybe when were happy we'll give a little more
to a cause and for those who advise with those spies they would sound like.

"oh, salvage our days" - better hail the opportunist, and you wont end alone.

paraded it's ready - you'll spend your life in bliss and theres all these prime time luxuries involved.
...by saying that its not quite, not quite you
to stick with it long enough, it might even make you appreciate it to the point you force a tear
...a troubled winner of the fallen

so it still reigns prominent, in your head as more content arrives,
surely you done so many things, surely you've lived so many parallel little lives,
well frankly theres many more - consider yourself blessed, when at least out of dignity
you might as well walk onwards, you've done well, apparently you're allright,
carry the film from dialogue to spotlight.

those scars are fine, you're overacting
oh they wont follow they wont last long
say it will be fine when its all over
they'll be just as famous as you!
