Cliffs

|
Stored away in a locked room
Watch me break free, watch me bloom
Into the person I know I can be
Now I've got the air to breathe.
Light headed from the lack of oxygen
Now I float above everything.
You can collapse under the heavy pressure,
But I will use the weight to make me stronger.
Sometimes you just need a cliff to leap off,
Sometimes you've just got to pray the water's deep enough.
A new story in the same book, a fresh tale of the step I took.
And no, I don't want them to say when I'm gone: "here lies a million chances and she didn't take one".
Sometimes you just need a cliff to leap off,
Sometimes you've just got to pray the water's deep enough.
I'll take control of my own fate,
Cos you miss the shots that you don't take.
But when the mask slips one day you'll find that, all things considered, I'm not a winner but...
Sometimes you just need a cliff to leap off,
Sometimes you've just got to pray the water's deep enough.

Clickbait

Oh you read it on the Internet,
So it's got to be factually correct.
But the only thing to cause offence is your lack of fucking common sense.
All the national papers printed it,
So it's definitely legitimate.
But you can't even trust the government,
Just take a look at who is running it.
Don't believe the lies you're told,
Don't believe all the stories you're sold.
Cos that headline sensation is just a creation they made.
To keep spreading the hate, to keep you in your place.
You're not racist 'cos you've got a friend who's black,
But you think it's safest if we just send them back.
And you don't hate the gays, but why's there no straight pride parade?
And you're not sexist but they won't rest until there are no real men left,
And trans rights leave you so perplexed even though they have zero effect on you.
Don't believe the lies you're told,
Don't believe all the stories you're sold.
Cos that headline sensation is just a creation they made.
To keep spreading the hate, they feed you on clickbait.
Don't believe the lies they tell,
You've got mouths to feed, they only care about themselves.
Don't believe the lies you're told,
Don't believe all the stories you're sold.
Cos that headline sensation is just a creation they made.
To keep spreading the hate, they feed you on clickbait.
Don't believe the lies you're told,
Don't believe all the stories you're sold.
Cos that headline sensation is just a creation,
The claims that they're making are pure fabrication,
Their one motivation is to divide the nation, it's true,
And keep spreading the hate by feeding you clickbait.

Classic Me
02:51

I had so much potential, it's best not to mention how good I could have been.
I've been left behind by those I used to outshine, and I'll admit I'm struggling.
An upward projection, a change of direction left me spiralling.
I spread my wings now my tail's in a spin and anxiety is kicking in.
I took flight on a promise that I was gonna, gonna make a change.
But it's time to be honest, that everything has just stayed the same.
And I've only got myself to blame.
I mustn't grumble and I can't complain, just 'cos there's a jumble inside of my brain doesn't mean that I'm any worse off than anyone else.
We've all got our shit and we've all got our lives, and everyone's shit is so much worse than mine, but that's classic me only thinking of myself.
I took flight on a promise that I was gonna, gonna make a change.
But it's time to be honest, that everything has just stayed the same.
And I've only got myself to blame.
I've got nothing to cry about, I'm being selfish.
I'm nowhere near down and out, and I'm so damn privileged
To be in this position and to not have to worry,
About where I'm living or about having money.
People are sick and people are starving, and I'm feeling pissed 'cos I work in an office
There's so many who are much worse off than me.
It's just not how I thought my life would be.
I just wanted to be someone,
I just wanted to be someone,
I just wanted to be someone,
And who I became isn't good enough for me.
