I know what I'm not doing I know the truth when I'm telling it What isn't a waste of time When I am always dying Mining measures and mistakes I know what I should feel bad about Swearing at my stupid feelings Will push them back down Come on Then sleep always lets me off So I can forget all about this That's fine I'm really better When I don't care at all Come on I can stop time

He travels alone With no end point in sight, he stays as he likes He travels by train When it pulls into town he ought to look around But the old town seems abandoned and all quiet He strays and explores but his calls return only silence He spends too much time Now the last train has passed and light will not last He puts down for the night But the strange empty town starts to make sound In fact it's a town of cats Over the bridge nearing fast There's a tower where he can hide From the cats and all through the night He watches them all They light up the lights and the market arises This is their town And they live as he would, he's not sure what he should do At the break of day the cats all leave the way that they came He could wait for the train but decides that he will remain The third night something's wrong There is bustle below they look high and low Do you smell human above That's it he's done, there's nowhere to run But he can't be seen by the cats They were sure they smelled a man Relieved now he can get away On the first train at the station Uneasy he waits for the train But it never comes here again He is irretrievably lost And he knows it's no town of cats

Don't Try 02:50
I'm going to live a long time I'm going to live a long time But I am still there Is this going to be forever Nothing feels the same And I'd prefer not to change Unwilling to change Unwilling to change I can't wait to drop out I can't wait to drop out I'm never going to try I'm never going to try I'm never going to try I'm never going to try I'm never going to try I'm never going to try I'm never going to try I was right all along Was right all along I was right all along And it feels so good Nothing feels the same And I'd prefer not to change Unwilling to change Unwilling to change Nothing's the same Unwilling to change

Look At It 02:07
Look at all this value
5.
Who can I blame for what has value Out of all the things I want to do If the fault is everybody's That's like saying it's nobody's Who can I blame for what we don't get When they make believe they really need it Doesn't matter what I want to look for Have to find someone I can work for How long can they save it from Itself

Underground creature Swimming circles in the blue Turn your back to nature And it turns its back to you Underground creature Swimming circles in the blue Turn your back to nature And it turns its back to you Don't go near its mouth Don't go near its mouth Don't go near its mouth Don't go near its mouth Second verse same as the first Creature in the circles Underground swimming blue Turn back and its nature To your turned back and its you Don't go near its mouth Don't go near its mouth Don't go near its mouth

Filling up a house with every colour I've come so far, it's like what I've wanted I know sometimes it takes up time Keeping pace with heavy minds Then we throw out our clothes When will we notice they're gone Sometimes it's no fun to care Especially when you're almost there I don't doubt all the effort I mean won't it help all the magic to grow No, please don't touch anything I don't know what, I can't tell what Contaminates you We need a moment here alone To calm the scary and unknown Obsessions we just can't handle Obsession we just can't handle A treat we'll get from down the road A coffee or an ice cream cone Calm for when we need to feel slow Calm for when we need to feel slow
