The Fourth Floor

Another night and I'm finally free of you dragging me down
Into the ground, over and over again
Yeah, I wondered what I did wrong and I wondered when it all went wrong
But as the days pass and my life lights up, I'm climbing back
She shows her appreciation, and I move close to her
I know where this is going and I don't want it to end
And no I won't feel guilty, it's time I thought for me
I know where this is going and I don't want it to end
I never want this to end
I'm on the fourth floor and it's the top of the world
She's right next to me and I'm not going anywhere
I won't be brought down, yeah I've moved on just like you
And she's the best I've ever had, the best I've ever had
Spent the short walk home clearing out my mind
And it spoke my grief and bared my thoughts
The fresh cold air listened with intent
And picked the words out from my heart,
The very same ones you drove right through it
Now, I take my stand
She shows her appreciation, and I move close to her
I know where this is going and I don't want it to end
And no I won't feel guilty, it's time I thought for me
I know where this is going and I don't want it to end
I never want this to end
I'm on the fourth floor and it's the top of the world
She's right next to me and I'm not going anywhere
I won't be brought down, yeah I've moved on just like you
And she's the best I've ever had, the best I've ever had
I won't miss you
No not at all
You're selfish and insecure
I won't fall for
Your flaws again
I'm letting go this time
I'm on the fourth floor and it's the top of the world
She's right next to me and I'm not going anywhere
I won't be brought down, yeah I've moved on just like you
And she's the best I've ever had, the best I've ever had

A Pleasant State Of Mind
03:29

Give me strength
The strength I need
To overcome this damn disease
Why can't they just let me be
Who I want to be?
Up in the sky
To you I cry
Cleanse these demons from my life
Am I the the one to blame?
It all just brings me closer to the edge
Hear me screaming from the darkness
Help me to find a pleasant state of mind
Don't leave me here, I want my life back
I can't take
This anymore
There's too much to answer for
I can't think when I can't feel
I can't believe
This happened to me
What happened to living life young and free?
How can I think, when I can't feel?
I wish that I
Could live my dreams
Even those broken, twisted scenes
Are better than what I see
Looking around me
The twilight grey
My growing strength
I can be the hero then
But as soon as I wake it fades
Why am I so weak, when will it end?
Hear me screaming from the darkness
Set me free
I can't take
This anymore
There's too much to answer for
I can't think when I can't feel
I can't believe
This happened to me
What happened to living life young and free?
How can I think, when I can't feel?
I can't feel
Doubt grows
Yes it grows, like a cancer inside me
As I contemplate what I have done with my life
Feels like I'm being buried alive
I need you to come inside
To be my guide
Why won't you help me?
I can't take
This anymore
There's too much to answer for
I can't think when I can't feel
I can't believe
This happened to me
What happened to living life young and free?
How can I think, when I can't feel?
I can't feel

Your eulogy is already written, our friendship will never pass.
When these lights go down, on a life lived so fast
I've got nothing but good things to say, and nothing short of praise
You are always there for me and I am there for you
Even when life calls our names
And we go our seperate ways
I know this won't change a thing
Get up, get up, tonight's just the start of it all (We're having too much fun)
Shut up, shut up, I don't need to tell you again (No I don't need you to)
Say it, say it, say it, can't come down from this now (Until you)
Speak up, speak up, get your feet up off the ground
No, we don't need to say another word
From the coldest Atlantic passes to the warmest arrival gates
Board the glowing missile through our old suburbia
We'll share stories of love, ignorance and blame
As I call upon old friends to re-ignite their flame
Even when life calls our names
And we go our seperate ways
I know this won't change a thing
Get up, get up, tonight's just the start of it all (We're having too much fun)
Shut up, shut up, I don't need to tell you again (No I don't need you to)
Say it, say it, say it, can't come down from this now (Until you)
Speak up, speak up, get your feet up off the ground
No, we don't need to say another word

Disposition

Can I confide in you my troublesome mind?
I slept with my best friend and her name is hindsight
We only met recently but she doesn't like talking about her past
And the unspoken truths hurt until this day
This can't go on
There's no silence from the voices
When I look at the mirror
This disposition attacks my mind
Sometimes I question myself;
Sometimes I play it down
Sometimes everything
Falls around me but that same old song still plays
I'm proud of not turning back
Laid it all on the line
Today is the day
That I've been longing for
This can't go on
There's no silence from the voices
When I look at the mirror
This disposition attacks my mind
Pull your hands away from
Your hands away from your face
I can see the disappointment
Running through your veins
It's over now
It's over
Someday you'll see
That you needed me
This can't go on
There's no silence from the voices
When I look at the mirror
This disposition attacks my mind

Heroes Of King Street

The vitriol spills out, from 3am onwards
Their penchant for hate begins
Six foot deep in vermin
As the scent of aggression lingers
Streetlights won't guide me anywhere tonight
Heroes of King Street
A place for swollen souls
I've grown to hate all I've known
The destroyer of this small town
The breeding ground of hate
My exit is near
My darling Mersey
Will sweep me away
Will cast me away
This place lacks any class
It was all washed away by negative minds
A plague spreading through my home town
And I think it's time, that I called time;
Oh, it was never meant to come to this
The destroyer of this small town
The breeding ground of hate
My exit is near
My darling Mersey
Will sweep me away
Will cast me away
I've lost faith
In all that surrounds me
They say it's what you make it
But why can't they see?
The destroyer of this small town
The breeding ground of hate
My exit is near
My darling Mersey
Will sweep me away
Will cast me away
