1.Ain't It The Life
Verse 1
Dear haley
Can you save me from
The borrowed cloud i'm on
All you've gotta do is try
Pray you're just getting by
Hey wait i thought you made it
How'd your bottled crown fall off
Tell me how'd you get so tired
Fade it down to the wire
Pre-chorus
Try living a lie and kicking out
The same old guise
Wasting time
Verse 2
So very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride
One day we all can say where we're gone
And haunt the ground we're from
Everything's so open wide
Hear within the divide
Prechorus
Chorus
Ain't it the life
Ain't it the life
Ain't it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Ain't it the life
Solo
Prechorus
2.Aurora
Verse 1
You believe there's something else
To relieve your emptyness
And you dream about yourself
And you bleed and breath the air
And its on and on and on and on and on
I just kinda died for you
You just kinda stared at me
We will always have the chance
We can do this one more time
Chorus
Hell yeah, i remember aurora
Hell yeah, i remember aurora
All this time
Hell yeah, i remember aurora
Take me now
You spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we turn and come back down
Turn and come back down
Verse 2
You believe there's somewhere else
Where it's easier than this
And you see outside yourself
And you buy the hole you'll fill
And it's on and on and on and on and on
Chorus
On and on and on aurora
Wait for everyone
Wait till the last one's done
Take me now
You spin the sun around
And the stars will all come out
Then we turn and come back down
Turn and come back down
Turn and come back down
On and on and on and on... (to fade)
3.Breakout
Verse 1
You make me dizzy
Running circles in my head
One of these days i'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend
Better get out
Better get out
Chorus
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Know you make me breakout
Verse 2
You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more i take i break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days i'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off
Burn it in the blast off
Watch me crawl away
Try to get out
Try to get out
Chorus
Breakout!
Go, go, go
Chorus
4.Generator
Verse 1
Lately i'm getting better
Wish i could stay sick with you
But there's too many egos left to bruise
Call it sin
You can call it whatever
Eating deep inside of you
Well if it were me it's all i'd ever do
Steal me now and forever
I'll steal something good for you
The criminal in me is no-one new
Till you find something better
When there's nothing left to use
And everything starts going down on you
Chorus
I'm the generator
Firing whenever you quit
Yeah, whatever it is
You go out and it's on
Yeah can't you hear my motored heart
You're the one that started it
Verse 2
Send me out on a tether
Swing it round
I'll spin your noose
You let it down
I'll hang around with you
Till you find someone better
When there's no-one left to lose
Everyone keeps going down
Chorus
5.Gimme Stiches
Verse 1
I can be your right of way
So we can get out of here
I've always been the one
Who runs from everyone
Cos everyone's just too weird
Sink with someone tied to me
I'm making you volunteer
Another one hass come and gone
They crawl along
Make them disappear
Chorus
Dress me up in stiches
It's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stiches
It's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dying to get my blood on you
Blood on you
Verse 2
Take another stab at me
I promise in time i'll heal
But yesterday went on and on a bit too long
I waited out on high street
There's nothing to find out here
Another day has come and gone
They crawl along
Wasting all these years
Chorus
Bridge
How can you go on
When you're murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Ending
Gimme stiches
Now or never
Before i get my blood on you
6.Headwires
Verse 1
Have you been headwired?
Were you satisfied?
Did it free the feelings in your spine?
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will your meet your mind
Where the night collides?
Will you greet yourself
When the sun arrives?
I'll just stay behind
I've met mine
Chorus
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now repeat on second chorus
Verse 2
Help you feed the wires
When your head unwinds?
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine
I'll be fine
There's a reason why
Keeping me alive
There's a cure in me
That i wish were mine
As long as i can fight, i'll survive
Chorus
Stationed on the wire
One day i'll let go
Tell them all 'hello'
Tell them all 'hello'
The sun is on
Arlandria
Headwires
7.Learn To Fly
Verse 1
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think i need a devil to help me
Get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cos this one is a lie
We sat around laughing
And watch the last one die
Chorus
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something help me burn out bright
I'm looking for complications
Looking cos i'm tired of lying ('trying' in 2nd chorus)
Make my way back home
When i learn to fly (high)
Verse 2
Think i'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away
If you give me one last try
We live happily ever trapped
If you just save my life
Run and tell the angels
That everything is all right
Chorus
Bridge
Fly along with me
I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
(x2)
Chorus
8.Live-in Skin
Verse 1
Take your payroll
And your lottery
There's a place i know
There's a robbery
And i swear i'll never tell
If you swear you'll never tell
And we'll all make out so well
We will all make out so well
Chorus
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that i'm still standing
And i demand that we all blend in
I'm amounted
Verse 2
Just the same old
Glitter story
From the sea floor
Metamorphosis
And i can't change back for you
I will not change back for you
I must live in skin that's new
I'm a livid skin that's new
Chorus
Bridge
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again
Repeat
I'm amounted
And i can't change back for you
No i can't change back for you
9.M.i.a.
Verse 1
Call and i'll answer
At home in the lost and found
You say that i'm much too proud
Someone who's taken pleasure
In breaking down
Never mind the mannequins
Drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down
Cheap imitations
A revelation is now
Chorus
Yeah, you won't find me
I'm going m.i.a.
Tonight i'm leaving
Going m.i.a.
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb
Verse 2
Counting every minute
Till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hits the ground
I'm good at escaping,
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered
The center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear i'm embracing
I never could face you down
Chorus
Bridge
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued
Repeat verse 1
Yeah, you won't find me
I'm going m.i.a.
Tonight i'm leaving
Going m.i.a.
So you don't find me
I'm going m.i.a.
Tonight i'm leaving
Going m.i.a.
Say goodbye to me
I'm going m.i.a.
I can find relief
I'm going m.i.a.
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb
Better than playing dumb
10.Next Year
Verse 1
I'm in the sky tonight
There i can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot
And hiding out
I'll be coming home next year
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year
Chorus
Come on, get on, get on
Take it till life runs out
No-one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
Verse 2
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if i get too high
When i come down
I'll be coming home next year
I'm in the sky tonight
There i can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind
Around and round
I'll be coming home next year
Chorus
Come on, get on, get on
Take it till i fall down
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
Ending
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's all right up here
When i come down
I'll be coming home next year
Bridge
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Chorus
I'll be coming home next year (fade out)
11.Stacked Actors
Verse 1
Oh mirror mirror
You're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed
What a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire
Or wonderful liar?
I think its time we all should come clean
Chorus
Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All i want is the truth
Hey hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we want?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde?
Verse 2
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah but things aren't always what they seem
You're teary wise
Your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through
Yeah, but what do you do?
When you're just another aging drag queen?
Chorus
