1.	Calculating Is Not The Same As Working Out 06:09	lyrics	buy track
It’s easy to think you’re broken When you don’t have time to see Anything beyond right now You just have to switch off then on again Now the future seems easy Cos if we die in dreams we just don’t wake up To you only I’d sing the same refrain It’s just a choice I made to diverge a way to the end For you only see the future as a way to describe Things that haven’t occurred I will drag you up I will dredge a way to the end I’m sorry I made you alone I should have seen our skylines would converge From another frame of reference I’m sorry we’re breaking again You see yourself retrace the same mistakes I know I can’t do this any more I think I got sick from tasting my own medicine, again It mainly affects my heart but there’s something lost in my eyes as well I’m sorry I made you alone I should have seen our skylines would converge From another frame of reference I’m sorry we’re breaking again You see yourself retrace the same mistakes I know I can’t do this any more I said I’d sing the same refrain It’s just a choice I made
2.	110 Percent Of Nothing Is Still Something 04:39	lyrics	buy track
I am where I want to be And I have everything I need The light is streaming in Could I just turn my back Well things just might turn out like I brought a knife to a gun fight So I’ll put my hands straight up Then stab myself in the back I’ll mend the cracks in everything To let the dark back in again How can you forget something that you Have never remembered? I am where I want to be And I have everything I need The light is streaming in Could I just turn my back I don’t know what to say so I use all the words that I know And let you choose the meaning So it’s you that's hurt your feelings Forget whatever you’ve heard today Go back to your normal lives Cos I’ve answered the question that nobody asked... And it’s OK to not be alright It’s OK to not be alright... I am where I want to be And I have everything I need The light is streaming in Could I just turn my back
3.	If Less Is More, Imagine How Much More More Would Be 04:37	lyrics	buy track
You don’t want to see me when I’m angry or happy Or honestly when I’m feeling, when I’m feeling anything I grow in size, there’s a menace in my eyes But it’s a lie, cos I’m feeling, cos I’m feeling so small I’m only looking down on you to keep my head bowed But from up here it’s clear that everything’s beneath you Size isn’t everything it won’t keep my outsides in They’ll just flood out in waves and no one will be safe… You crane your neck to understand where I have come from And overlook that I am only going nowhere I hold my breath close to my chest and it floods my lungs I’m only unfolding In the spirit of openness Please don’t reject yourself You’re honestly too good for me
4.	A Metaphor Is A Simile; A Simile Is Like A Metaphor 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Why do I wait until you’ve finished before speaking? Somehow it feels that interrupting’s the wrong choice I want to convey that I think your words are important Can't help being sad that you don't just want to hear my voice And I don't mind being alone But I can't do it by myself And it shocked me when you said you hate surprises So I just said that I hate them too When you fell through the ground I just loomed over you And I could set down my arms But I didn’t understand Instead of binding myself To a moment that otherwise will pass I could make you feel loved You say you don’t even have the time to ignore me Somehow it felt that you've said this to me before By the time I remembered that I’d said it to you It didn’t seem quite so clever any more And I don't mind being alone But I can't do it by myself And it shocked me when you said I lack compassion So I told you that I felt the same When you fell through the ground I just loomed over you And I could set down my arms But I didn’t understand Instead of binding myself To a moment that otherwise will pass I could make you feel loved I’m struck by the vague sense that happiness will destroy us But some things are good And not all good things come to an end
