Postcard 02:19
Everyone wakes up differently It took me 21 years just to get a cup of coffee And everything's brighter now The grass is greener and my lungs are cleaner I got friends who like to sleep in Which is great for the soul but what are you gonna miss? When you wake up on a sunday At the end of an evening where you blinked and you missed it But you got to see a postcard That's not enough for me to enjoy the rest of the day... I just made it all up to all of my friends who I fell out with And said something of the truth It was taken to heart and I cant say I didn't mean it I just want people to see how I see things so they get a better view It's never as fun for me When someone's upset it tears me inside out Send me a postcard Don't see you much anymore, well never eye to eye I've been spending a lot more time and home and you wonder why? Time away from Air Night Club, promoter's pleas and invisible lines I fell sick with a fever at the start of last week, so I've been in bed As far as things happening to me well this has been the best I'll send you a postcard Might not see you again for a while coz I got better shit to do

Taglines 04:42
Don't wanna be another part in the product line but I forgot how to write I get scared that my future won't be to plan, it's not looking to bright As I help more rich men drill more holes into the ground Before setting myself on fire and making myself drown I used to see an end coming but now I see it's change The kids growing up today are part of a new age And I welcome all the questions and the protests of past ways It's always been so obvious nothing can stay the same We're not falling we are rising, this is awakening It's the only way to sustain this miracle that we're living There is so much more above you so stop looking at your feet Or the tax papers and interest rates that put us on the street But you sit in a sad state of acceptance out of fear Say, "It's just the way it is, and always we'll be here." But that's exactly where they want us And you can free your mind It's happening all over the world so it's just a matter of time Before 51% of us we say enough's enough We all put down our guns and start spreading some love Yeah I know that we've had dreamers before and they have all been shot But there's 7 billion of us here so let's all quit our jobs And see what happens when, they lose the tool of profit Coz it's just an idea like you are an idea And break down every barrier until we realise That they only built them for their lies to hide behind Then we have a blank canvas again to paint with a new brush And learn that in the first place there were never any doors to shut Yeah, we made that up to just like status, race and class And the face (hand) we thought was feeding us was covered by a mask We're not falling we are rising, this is awakening It's the only way to sustain this miracle that we've been given There is so much more above you so stop looking at your feet Or the taglines and the slogans that'll bring ya to your knees

Falls Rd 03:26
I felt desperate and smothered by people caught up in their own lies About what he thinks or what she said Yeah, who's fucked who and who ya think is next While children die that could've been saved Still, we feel some right to complain I sit and sing about it but all I'm really doing is the same So I drove up the hill to Falls Rd I wanted to die for another night in a row But instead of a descent to the rocky ground I found a reason in the running water to stick around And I saw the things that I knew were there Coz I'd seen em before I became this impaired By the 40 hour week, dribble that you speak I remember sitting on the lawn and Luke said, "I don't speak to you as much as I think I should" Fighting over drugs, I called it the catalyst And I regretting saying yes to a lot of friendships But I was a driving force behind this mentality That we started in that share house and I never learned when to stop So I left his house to walk around the block Said hello to his neighbours with my shirt off The road was harsh under my feet And I started to think about what I really need And I saw the things that I knew were there Coz I'd seen em before I became this impaired By all the little things and how they get to me So I drove up the hill to Falls Rd I wanted to die for another night in a row But instead of a descent to the rocky ground I found a reason in the running water to stick around And I saw the things that I knew were there Coz I'd seen em before I became this impaired By all the little things and they get to me Yeah, I let all the little things get to me

Good As 07:34
I'm surrounded by hospitals lately I can tell somethings changing or I'm just growing up Wouldn't know if I saw it coz these things happen so damn slow We stay comfortable heading for some idea of happy we figured out some years ago I look back now and think we lost that feeling of home Where I felt so alive and could see beyond the sky But I turned 17 and had to get a job and got caught up like we all do Lost a love a found me again in the dirt good as new But I still can't untangle my throat When I struggle to connect with anyone that I know It gets tied up in knots coz I can never speak my mind There's only ever been one person I could look in the eye I still have dreams that I live on Harling Way Sometimes Charlotte's crying for me, other times she wont stay It's a fitting testament to me of how things have changed No one I ever speak to really makes sense and I'm sure that I don't to them But it doesn't matter much coz they'll all sink when I swim I can't think of anything else to say Coz I forgot everything that happened when I spent my nights in the city chewing my face Kept telling myself, "It's okay, these are the glory days But I still can't untangle my throat When I struggle to connect with anyone that I know It gets tied up in knots coz I can never speak my mind There's only ever been one person I could look in the eye But I'm an enabler who says he wants to help people But he doesn't wanna start with himself or with his friends I'm singing myself home coz I don't like the radio I need to listen my self more when it tells me I'm not dead yet as I walk through the front door When I struggle for my keys or to even walk And that's when it really sinks in I wont forget about you So I sat and I sang and I found me again good as new But I still have dreams that I live on Harling Way I use street names to explain all the things I can't say Yeah, I still have dreams that I live on Harling Way While I'm singing myself home coz I don't like the songs that the radio play Yeah, I still drink and drive up and down Tonkin Highway I use street names to explain all the things that I don't know how to say Yeah, I still have dreams that I live on Harling Way But you don't even live on Harling Way

Bad Thoughts 04:15
Sick o' discussing fucken stereotypes, can we Talk about something else now? Like how I was alone tonight just doing what I like to do when Im alone Gettin' High Coz outside palm trees litter suburbs on top of roofs and dirty gutters Inside: dull carpets and cracked tiles I hear sirens in my sleep and dream of every girl I meet I'm sitting on my car waiting for you taxi You took of your dress and I put it on And I woke up this morning you were gone There you lay in what I wore that afternoon I felt the energy you left in the room Could this be the other side of me? Coz I cried when I got home from the show at the Indi Bad thoughts like cobwebs Running through you head Poured out in a bedroom with a friend I kissed you on your lips before you left And it hurt more than she ever did More than when she called after the acid kicked in The last chance I was ever gonna get But I don't regret a fucken thing You won't as you fly away to find a better time in a better place I know you just needed an escape from these panic rooms And these heavy, these heavy days Could this be the other side of me? Could this be the other side of me? Could this be the other side of me? Coz I cried when I got home from the last time that I saw you...
