On a train to Honor Oak Park Got music in my ears, a bottle in my pocket I can't decide just what I'll do now These last 3 years have gone pretty fast Pulled up in the station, I staggered from the train I was feeling pretty dizzy, Life is just the same So I'll take a moment to gather my thoughts And figure this shit out This melody almost sang me to sleep (woah-oh) I can't control what it's doing to me (woah-oh) The words you offer are no help (woah-oh) Because when I take advice I take it from the inside On the platform taking my time Checking the directions, it's a hard one to find It's already 9pm If I don't get there soon they'll be calling time I've been waiting months for this show But money's tight and I almost couldn't go That's why I've been taking some time to figure some things out This melody almost sang me to sleep (woah-oh) I can't control what it's doing to me (woah-oh) The words you offer are no help (woah-oh) Because when I take advice I take it from the inside I don't wanna fall asleep but I'm sinking deeper, it's closing in I've never been one to fight And every night I'm thinking what a fucking mess I'm in How can I fix this one? I can't find the way to go Can't find my way home Can't find peace of mind So I'm sleeping in the gutter until sunrise

Off Script 03:02
Do you remember the days In summers embrace We'd drink until the dawn like we're never going home? The sweet scent of youth is gone in the blink of an eye lets recapture some fire tonight These days are captured like movies in my mind Sit back and watch them with popcorn and a glass of wine These sentimental thoughts come rushing back again I love these memories I'll take them to my grave All I see is rain Beating on dirty window panes It's like it's never going to end Days like today Remind me of when we used to rage Let's throw our fists in the air tonight Sometimes I like to flick to a new page Start afresh it's a brand new day That's why I am clutching to this pen I never want to be scripted again

Sober: Can’t get up, I’m feeling unwell Last night I was drunk as hell Friday night really hits me hard When morning comes I’m bruised and scared Dewey: Don’t bother ringing, I’m hanging up the phone I just wanna be left alone Can’t recall a thing I did or said Can’t stop the room spinning in my head Chorus: Saturday morning I’m feeling low Times moving but moving far too slow Friday night we were riding high These times seem to fly right by Sober: Cover my eyes and climb back in bed I can’t stop this pounding head Mornings like theses are the worst I start to fell like I’ve been cursed Dewey: Sweating out my demons but they won’t leave yet Head’s still spinning with the beers and regret Flashbacks fuck me up, Nurofen’s not enough It’s half 5(pm) but I’m still not getting up

Set sail on a stormy night Sailing away from the lighthouse lights The boat becomes a coffin Adrift in a sea of green And the first hand screams with a swallows cry "Mother I'm sorry I don't wanna die, But no man here has the right to life, and I'm the cause of so much strife" I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be When the storm hits starboard side I'm thrown down deck with a shrieking cry The boat starts rocking And I rope myself just in time And the first hand, weeping inside, says "Why did so many have to die? Thank you poseidon for sparing my life, I'll make more of it this time"

So I decided to spend the night Watching The Next Generation on my own So I'm sorry honey but I'm not at home If you call me tomorrow maybe I'll pick up But lately I've been having the worst kind of luck And I'm sorry darling but we're through And you walk across the room your eyes tearing up You turn back to me and tell me to "get fucked" You know my skull's been growing tight Your endless nagging caused the end of this So I lay back and close my eyes We both knew it would come to this Even from the very first kiss So I'm sorry darling but we're through As the sun starts to set I'm already feeling it This overwhelming sense of bliss

I can’t shake the sense I’m drowning You push me in the dirty water It’s like daggers through my heart Leaves caught in my scruffy hair And I remember when I saw you On the other side of that shitty bar I knew you’d be mine It was only for a short time I’m down, but I’m not out I’m down, but these wings of wax will help me fly Bottles litter my bedroom floor Like a city of sunken ships Although I drank them all I found no answers within So I think I’ll take a walk Try and clear my foggy head I’ll stare up at the stars Daedalus don’t let me climb too high
