Isolation Flow
V1.
She says she don’t need antidepressants when she’s got gin and tonic
Gin and tonic
When you idolize death, well there’s no worse way to live
To live
B.
All these moments, no surprise
Haughty looks, nothing’s inside
Chorus
It’s alright if you feel a little low
Just fight against the isolation flow
Move it over, push it down, take your chance again
V2.
She wore docs and a pixie cut, as armor against,
Thoughts of herself
They buy our happiness and call it love of money
Love or money
B.
Little lies, awkward smiles
Cracked mirror, swallowed bile
Chorus
It’s alright if you feel a little low
Just fight against the isolation flow
Move it over, push it down, take your chance again

Burning through
V1.
I’m bored of the same days, the same ways, and me
We might as well point to a spot on a map
But they won’t let us escape
Pre-chorus
I said lately, lately, lately I’m burning through x3
Chorus
So put on a record and let’s dance
Tonight, I just want to be in love
Even if we’re just drunk dancing in our home
Even if we’re just drunk dancing in our home
V2.
Although that foreboding sense of another week takes grip
Isn’t it time to hold onto simple pleasures?
Onto simple pleasures?
Pre-chorus
I said lately, lately, lately I’m burning through x3
Chorus
So put on a record and let’s dance
Tonight, I just need you
Even if we’re just drunk dancing in our home
Even if we’re just drunk dancing in our home
Even if we’re just drunk dancing in our home
Even if we’re just drunk dancing in our home
C’mon baby, c’mon let’s forget the world

Faith Healing
Intro chorus
I want it, I need it, I ain’t ever going back to the feeling
The thoughts that rush through as you stare at the ceiling
Wishing, hoping the bottle wouldn’t be so appealing
You’re yearning for a faith-healing
Verse
You go down the street to buy a pack of cigarettes
The desire lingers and the steady fingers soon pass
Pre-chorus
But the thing is we’re all reprobates in our own way
At least that’s you heard them say
Chorus
We conceive it; you say you ain’t ever going back to the feeling
Still, I sense, you ain’t ever gonna stop concealing
The compassion to act when you see death-dealing
See a death-dealing
Verse
The publican welcomes you to the bar, and asks ‘just the usual?’
You fumble for your wallet but close it and walk away
Middle 8
For just a moment you allow yourself some love
For just a moment you stand on the shoulders of giants and notice it all
Chorus
I want it, I need it, I ain’t ever going back to the feeling
The thoughts that rush through as you stare at the ceiling
Wishing, hoping the bottle wouldn’t be so appealing
You’re yearning for a faith-healing
BACKGROUND VOCALS
I want it, I need it, I ain’t ever going back to the feeling
The thoughts that rush through as you stare at the ceiling
Wishing, hoping the bottle wouldn’t be so appealing
MAIN VOCALS
I ain’t ever going back home
I ain’t yearning for a death-dealing
I ain’t ever going back home

Steady on
V.1
So, you can see the thoughts that leave me, and my mad cow remains
But I walked to your door, bright as day, holding my ego at bay.
V.2
I’m holding the thought, before it decays, in my sluggish-brainish way
Your love is a cup of a beverage I’ve consumed too much
And the like alcoholic I am, I long to taste the thing, that quietens the fool in the man
CHORUS
So steady on my love
Keep a page on your past
So steady on my love
Ready your fear
V.3
Take time, for the chemicals, in your mind
We’re all here, but some of us walk with a foot adrift
V.4
Slow down because I am fading, without touching a soul
So I walked to your door, but it was long, and the fire took my goal
CHORUS
So steady on my love
Keep a page on your past
So steady on my love
Ready your fear
So steady, on, my love. X4

Mythical

Some kind of mythical
V.1
You wear the colour of selfishness well
Hide amongst the sinners so you forget how you fell
Find somebody else to take the fall
B.
Some kind of mythical
Some caught a fleeting glimpse
For all of the sighs, we had a nice time
Chorus
You fall sound asleep, yet I need you more than ever
You fall sound asleep, yet I need you more than ever
V2.
Move on, you weighty themes
Hardly a reason to deceive
Yet, I wear my conceit like a weave
B.
Some kind of mythical
Some caught a fleeting glimpse
For all of the sighs, we had a nice time
Chorus
You fall sound asleep, yet I need you more than ever
You fall sound asleep, yet I need you more than ever
