You hang round with that diamond bitch, does she hold you right, make you feel like you’re rich
Just take a step back with me, hold the emotion; make her free
Everything depends on just one thing; money cash, dollar that’s all there is
Can’t look back, you’re a puppet on her strings, you boy, just her little plaything
I’m just tryna be serious; not downright meticulous
must be under her spell, so that diamond bitch can go to hell
Can’t stop her now, you'll never stop her
Does she go all the way with you, does it make you happy, all these things you do
Are you sitting on top of the glass, of a sphere inside an elegant pad, or
Dripping blood on the side of the bed, moves onto another man, cause you’re dead
Diamond bitch didn't get far with you; - it’s a shame, she thought you were cute
She’ll eat you from inside, inside your tiny mortal mind
Can’t stress this point enough, get out of her way or you’ll turn to dust
Get away from that diamond bitch

Consequence
02:41
|

There are consequences, for the actions that we've done
And nothing will ever be the same again
Let’s build up the bridge and watch it burn
We broke into the hearts of so many
We landed on an uncovered shore
Gave ourselves to the skies
Then begged her for more
I’d give my mind to you, if only you’d just wait
I don’t even need to hesitate
I’d give my mind to you, if only you’d just wait
I don’t even need to hesitate
There are consequences, that we can’t face
We don’t need a label cause we know we’re so out of place
Just give me; one more night with you
Give me your hand on this apocalypse brand, because I want to see your face buried in the sand
In the reality of all that is, diamond heart shards don’t tell this man how to live
I’ll give my mind to you if you can give me all of yours too
We broke into the hearts of so many
We landed on an uncovered shore
Gave ourselves to the skies
Then begged her for more
I’ll give my mind to you, if only you’d just wait
I don’t even need to hesitate
I’ll give my mind to you, if only you’d just wait
I don’t even need to hesitate

The Harbour

Can we step back a minute, and do all those things again, my love
I still remember when we met under the sun on that icy day
She doesn't love me anymore, but I cannot resist; her
An’ I don’t love her either, it’s the way; that I lust for her (those arms wrapped around me)
Tell me where this is going wrong, and I will fix it soon as I can (don’t make me leave)
You’re all that’s keeping me here, and it’s not my death I fear (gimme some hope)
Take me out again into the harbour, where on shallow water we can float
Wave our sins goodbye as seagulls fly past us in the sky
Right here in the harbour, right here in the harbour
Tell me if this going wrong , and I will fix it soon as I can (don’t make me leave)
You’re all that’s keeping me here, and it’s not my death I fear (gimme some hope)
(instrumental)
I’d give you my hand, if only you'd asked
Then I would be; a happier man
Tell me where this is going wrong, and I will fix it soon as I can (don’t make me leave)
You’re all that’s keeping me here, and it’s not my death I fear (gimme some hope)

Newly Buried Remorse
01:42

She didn't know about the other boy liked her that stupid swine I wanted her to be mine but little did she know that I was kissing her friend behind everyone’s backs It wasn't hard to pretend
Only caught once but we used wordplay caught by the triad the very next day
They never really got to me that far
I said bullshit and lead my mind ajar
Playing them at their own stupid game, it was an obvious hate campaign
You couldn't have her, the girl I let break me I opened my eyes and let the feelings escape me
I split in two like bacteria the whole thing was just hysteria
I’m sorry that I dragged her into my mess, it was a mistake I confess, I can’t believe it got this far a chain of events a huge disaster
Cover this bit of my life with a plaster can’t believe I didn’t do it faster
Cover this part of my life with a plaster a plaster a plaster
Oh dear. It’s the bit in the middle.
(Well) Little did she know that I was seeing her friend I never loved her, wasn’t hard to pretend
I’m gonna ask to hang out again, you know what goes down when we do
Always a fun always a laugh it’s so fucked up but we’re both used to that yeah,
I can’t sometimes stop thinking about it, I get to worked up and so frustrated
I lust for you and it’s not fair, I’m needing you and it’s not fair I’m wanting you and it’s not fair how can I get over there
I can’t even I can’t even I can’t even I can’t even I can’t even I can’t even oww
It’s not fair

You've Never Known
02:24

You have never known how much I’ve wanted you
You’ll never find out unless I talk to you (ooh)
Trailing through the tapestries, in these stupid libraries
I find you; sitting there, confused like me, just like me
If I could see the future then I’d see it all now, there would be no regret don’t put me down
If I could see the future then I’d see it all now, y’ can’t go back won’t spin this around
I wouldn't even notice these things if I’d keep my eyes off you, that’s hard to do
Believe me when I say that I don’t want you to hear this song, it won’t go on for long
If I could see the future then I’d see it all now, there would be no regret don’t put me down
If I could see the future then I’d see it all now, y’ can’t go back won’t spin this around
You have never known how much I’ve wanted you
You've never known how much

Catalyst
02:08
|

Don’t have a reputation round here but it’s too hard to resist
I’ll speed up your reactions I’m a catalyst
Why’d I always get caught in these twists, what is it about girls that makes me act like this
People seem to act so high and lofty, not that kid anymore nobody can cross me
Another little thing that you need to know, made this beat, permit my mic and there I go
Locked on repeat with procrastination, how am I s'posed to get it now without that elevation
The feeling that I’m getting it right, why’d you think I like sleeping at night
If only I knew what to friggin say, oh well; it’s too late for that anyway
Look at the test paper right in front of you, right down the predetermined answer that you do not know
Expect me to learn from my mistakes, when I don’t even understand the question anyway
What? I don’t understand so I’ll break the system, make it work my way
Don’t have a reputation round here but it’s too hard to resist
I speed up your reactions I’m a catalyst, I’m a catalyst I'll speed up your reaction I’m a catalyst,
I’m an enzyme working over time, breaking up starch into glucose and glucose
Sucrose into fructose and glucose
Lactose into galactose and glucose
Substrates can’t touch me I’m immune to them, they can’t break my bonds in my structured den
I'm a catalyst, raging for destruction, to puncture this social obstruction that relieves my function

Reality

Spoke to the king of all reality do you know do you what he said to me
Time doesn't pass it goes down a road to victory
The years don’t go by it’s time, biding itself with you
The years don’t go by it’s time, biding itself with you
Everything comes down to you, you know
You make me think that I don’t wanna go
Everything comes down to this, you know
I make you think that you don’t wanna go
I spoke to the queen of reality do you know do you know what she said to me
You have great motivation
Just keep doing what you do
I jus' wanna lie in bed all day; wash all these stupid memories away
What is reality even telling us, what is the point in all of this?
(Instrumental)
Everything comes down to you, you know
You make me think that I don’t wanna go
Everything comes down to this, you know
I make you think that you don’t wanna go
I spoke to the king of reality do you know do you know what he said to me
Go after her while you still have the time, there won’t be another like her in line
Run after her while you still have the hours it’s only the fool, the fool; that cowers
(Instrumental)
Everything comes down to this you know, reality’s gone and we’ll go on an adventure across a billion dimensions
Everything comes down to this you know, reality’s gone and we’ll just go
(Outro)

I'll Not Tell
03:40
|
|||
|
I’ll not tell anyone about it
The truth is in my head ,come and get it
All these things I say they might be lies
But I can’t help; but look into your eyes
Make me realise, that there’s much more than this
Tell me there’s a future, not just a kiss
If I do it properly this will all be clear
I’ll only cry now if you disappear
There’s a time that I see and it looks good for you and me, I’d say
There’s a future that I see, and it looks good for you and me, you’d say
Don’t let anybody; tell you those lies you don’t realise
They’re too good to be true; I would never betray you!
I’ll not tell anyone about this
You can trust me, and live without it
All these things I say they may be lies
Do you realise?
I’d give my hand and offer, you the world
You might think the concept; is rather absurd
But It’s not
Believe me if you want
(Bass solo)
There’s a time that I see and it looks good for you and me, I’d say
There’s a future that I see, an' it looks good for you and me, you’d say
Don’t let anybody; tell you those lies you don’t realise
They’re too good to be true; I would never betray you!
(Bass solo)

Pandora's Box
03:24
|
|||
|
I knew it was over, before all of it started
Lust gets you nowhere; I don’t know where the heart is
Never requited, that’s all it ever is
Unrequited reignited, I’m a stupid kid
Wishing I could open Pandora’s Box
Can’t be open unless you break all the locks
it moves it shifts it doesn’t coexist, from a
parallel dimension and it feels like this
You can’t open me because I have too many secrets inside
You can ’t open me because have so many souls to hide
You never knew and now you’ll never know
What was in my head about you, nothing to show
I sound a bit cocky, a bit of a chore
What the hell are you looking for?
A knight in shining armour or an incredible girl
Rapunzel, Rapunzel; oh that bitch for sure
Long gold locks fall right down to her knees
C’mon; tell me you’re not into her; please? (!)
Burnt my own heart, to several degrees
Oh these predictable lyrics are full of cheese
Expect me to get stuck in my ways
I've been moaning about this for days
I couldn't break it open if I wanted to,
Pandora’s box is full of lies that it leads you to
You open can’t because you've got me stuck inside of your head
Hoping I can open Pandora’s box
Can’t be open unless you break all the locks
it moves it shifts it doesn't coexist from a
parallel dimension and it feels like this
You can’t open me because I have to many secrets inside
You can’t open me because I have to many souls to hide

Architect
01:56

|
Did the architect, of this design, do all these things to make us feel fine?
He’s sitting on top of the glass, while I’m a puppet with his hand up my ass
Plans of revolution backfire, you can feel it’s force go through us
An invisible hand always unplanned
But it’s trying to get it’s hands in the dirt
Can you feel, pain that hurts
as maggots feed on you as if you’re dead flesh, what do they think of you
Guess?
All the people need something to worship, something to worship, that’s just stupid
So many books of fairy tales, by crazy men who went off the rails
“I’m the messiah” they say; and people followed them anyway,
Corrupt men lead society, think they’re gods but they’re no deity
Just a little boy with a power complex, vain, narcissistic not the best
Couldn't even grow hair on their chest, it’s cursed by Satan himself, I guess
Government’s are stupid, just give it a rest, grammar school boys with a power complex
Don’t waste your time on them, don’t waste your time on them!
You know, they probably got like a really cool property in the Bahamas that has like 16 bedrooms, and like they can have loads of parties. um
Even though they only have a wife and two kids. You know; that’s how governments spend your money. I mean, your taxes, tha- that’s what they do with it to be honest. um I mean I don’t know much about politics, but I know that um, politics is stupid
