Five Things 04:41
We are elastic men​ Stretched out with not far to go​ There’s 5 things in love that thou should know. The first is the best of this stuff ​​ Love child, feel good ​Feeling like I fancy​ Should I approach her ​ Feeling like I fancy ​Feel me tongue tied like I fancy​ ​A burden, A burden slow down ​ Repeat after me, you’re living in a fantasy​ Slow down repeat after me ​ Never forget about those 5 things ​​ The 2nd i loved to flirt around​ And wear your locket​T he 3rd I’m turning over new ground ​ Hope you love it ​ The 4th and not so far far to go​ Love’s a burden ​ Then the 5th ​ You’re pistol whipped​

Left Behind 04:36
Measure for measure Trading the blows A clinch in the ring Before we both let go Pleasure for pleasure We make our demands Takes us to places we don’t understand Body to body Our language laid low The less we speak the more we know I’m not gonna let you take what’s mine I won’t be the one you left behind I don’t need to know the reasons why I won’t be the one who says goodbye Sailed through the danger Now shipwrecked alone No star in the night To guide us both back home Stranger to stranger Our need to belong We traded our selves for something half as strong Hour to hour The chasm, it grows The less you say the more I know I’m not gonna let you take what’s mine I won’t be the one you left behind I don’t need to know the reasons why I won’t be the one who says goodbye And we kick and we scream As we tear at the seams But the words won’t come out ‘Cause there’s no room for doubting That we’ve come to the end No more road ‘round the bend Every trap has been laid There’s no way we get outta this I’m not gonna let you take what’s mine I won’t be the one you left behind I don’t need to know the reasons why I won’t be the one who says goodbye I’m not gonna let you take what’s mine I won’t be the one you left behind.

Glyphic 05:09
Tomorrow’s here again And we’re still lost for words You never feel the end We’ll always cross it off Then come around again We always find a pulse As the usual words fling past Nothing’s ever meant for show Don’t ever ask for reasons Not everything we want is here But if everything comes back That all comes down to us The curtain starts to fall The vision slowly fades To nothing but the sound And I can see what’s on your mind “If only we could try to find Another way to get out of here” Woah oh oh Or we could always be inclined To let it go or let it sit A moment that never comes And we could never really know If fate still has our backs for sure That’s something that we cant deny And everything we thought was broke Or everything we thought we’d learn It comes down to you and I Maybe we let it go? Maybe its more than we know just let it out
 So lets bring it on home Let it show We can always take it out The things that won’t let us stop And I know You know There are some things I cant sing about And sometimes we let it go Let it go

Prehab 04:59
A quarter to three Who knows where we are In it too deep And always too far Its why we dream It’s why we cry No time to breathe And never goodbye We learned how to fly And forgot how to live Two souls that are lost With something to give And all that it seems Is not what we are It’s not ours to keep We’re always too far Turn off the light Burn out the skies To feel you breathe To see you shine It’s not where we lie It’s how we forgive Those souls that are lost Need somewhere to live The dream is all yours The dream is all yours In the morning we’ll see If we traveled too far Until then we’re free Get lost in the stars
