Track Name: Cheap Bow Tie
This always happens when you're living life unorganized,
i tried to get there quick but my hands were tied,
to a wheel that directs me to an unknown place on the other side of town

The street lights were playing for the team dressed in red, smashing all of the green shirts that were stuck in defense and meanwhile I'm contemplating why i left home so late I'm under stress

Cheap bow tie and I'm not that handsome and if i try i'll be up for ransom but hesitate and my mind suffocates itself so will i stay for the moment for you

stopped at the door and question who are you? why aren't you dressed appropriately to the invitations information, i dodged the second question passed by forging my name and then ventured inside

you should've seen them staring at me like i've lost an eye but i kept searching for clues constantly closer to you and joining the plot on my soap opera that does not end in tears

Cheap bow tie and I'm not that handsome and if i try i'll be up for ransom but hesitate and my mind suffocates itself so will i stay for the moment for you

stuck in the madness of my un-concluded plan and i've got no words to say too many steps to make me a man while the staircase is leading me to the basement lead in to the basement and i will go because i'm chasing cars without a car to and fro i know but i don't know why so lock me out just the same

Cheap bow tie and I'm not that handsome and if i try i'll be up for ransom but hesitate and my mind suffocates itself so will i stay for the moment for you x3
Track Name: Killjoy
Persuaded to embrace the city isnt that typical that one missed call innocent and lonely i should've guessed it would bite suiting up all pretentious i left my confidence to lye on a chair reluctant out the door thinking what is this for who am i trying to please

killing the vibe, killing the vibes i am
killing the vibe, killing the vibes you are
killing the vibe, killing the vibe i know i'm killing vibes

acting happy to see them isnt that difficult "really thats good to know, sorry ive gotta go id love to see you soon"
blasted back by the amp box im being truth full when i say i cant dance good look at me im a joke your fingers you can point tonight its allright

killing the vibe, killing the vibes i am
killing the vibe, killing the vibes you are
killing the vibe, killing the vibe i know i'm killing vibes

the one minute back stabs, a cheek chase a false start, the mist in my eye sight oh no



killing the vibe, killing the vibes i am
killing the vibe, killing the vibes you are
killing the vibe, killing the vibe i know i'm killing vibes

the one minute back stabs, a cheek chase a false start, the mist in my eye sight, snap shots from strobe lights, a side slap a spin out, a keen queen at twenteen, whos trapped in a high that is fast crumbling down
Track Name: Relapsation
She wants to satisfy herself wants it all in her hands reaching at anything to pass dropping all she once had
smiles bent she knows the easy fix brush on some fake to your face

dont stop falling in the same traps, break out then have another relapse, why not try for something new but you cant help it

self focused unaware of the friends who cared in the past
busy with new identities gossip cat teenage slut
nursing the thoughts that bloom belief "im the same nothings changed"

dont stop falling in the same traps, break out then have another relapse, why not try for something new but you cant help it

dont stop falling in the same traps, break out then have another relapse, trust your sleeping with another guy that you just met then

She wants to satisfy herself wants it all in her hands
smiles bent she knows the easy fix brush on some fake to your face it hides it all

dont stop falling in the same traps, break out then have another relapse, why not try for something new but you cant help it

dont stop falling in the same traps, break out then have another relapse, trust your passing out on happiness that you just had then
Track Name: Join The Joneses(Demo)
Join the Joneses


There are some days were my fate turns cold, everybody wants someone, everybody wants something.

Running in circles in the sun and the heat hope it gets you somewhere when your heart don’t beat. Oh yeah!

You build me up then you strip me down push me to the bottom of the pile, but take your time, take your time, take your time.

I don’t know what I’m being told my minds made up with know were to go, but around!


Everybody wants someone, everybody wants two, everybody wants someone. Hay you,

I’m telling you this is true I don’t care what your neighbours say.

You need to buy it all.

Highway living well were here right now, your heads in traffic while your pulse is speeding.

Hypnotised daily by the passing cars, but don’t forget your suit and neck tie. Oh yeah

Simulation from the next new trends participate in another race that never ends.

But take your time, take your time, take time.

I don’t know what I’m being told the newest thing is already old! Now I’m Sold!


Everybody wants someone, everybody wants two, everybody wants someone. Hay you,

I’m telling you this is true I don’t care what your neighbours say.

You need to buy it all.

Everybody wants someone, everybody wants two, everybody wants someone. Hay you,

I’m telling you this is true I don’t care what your neighbours say.

You need to buy it all, to buy it all!
Track Name: Loose Fit Sanity(Demo)
I’ve been often feeling like I can not explain, looking at my memories dripping from my ears, and I’ve done something crazy once or twice today without warning.


Roll up, all roll up, come on and see me. Pick up, pick up personalities then I’ll, than I’ll wear my favourite ones loose fit sanity.


Mental living rates have flown through the roof once again! And sharing aint easy when where interfering, coz me, myself and I have different priorities and want there’s first!


Roll up, all roll up, come on and see me. Pick up, pick up personalities then I’ll, than I’ll wear my favourite ones loose fit sanity.


All roll up, and get in the que to come and see me. Pick up, pick up personalities then I’ll, than I’ll wear my favourite ones loose fit sanity.
I’ve been often feeling like I can not explain

I’ve often been feeling there’s a fault in my brain

I’ve been often feeling my intelligence drain

I’ve been often feeling like I’m going insane!


I’ve been often feeling like I can not explain, watching while my history chats with my fears, but who can say I’m crazy when my laughter is free. Loose fit sanity, loose fit sanity, loose fit sanity
Track Name: Door to the left of me..(Hey Girl!) Demo
Hay girl I wanna tell you something, you don’t see me anymore.

My data shows that if your not around, ill go out this door to the left of me.

Just like a jump before a free fall adrenaline flying around,

I can’t take this game it ends tonight.


Feeling insane coz I can’t see you today, don’t know why we couldn’t ever fix.


Now I’m making something out of nothing while burring ashes from my once lit dreams.

I wish I was high now taking to the sky getting further from my problems.

So what am I goin to do now thought I would know.

I can’t take this game it ends tonight.


Feeling insane coz I can’t see you today, don’t know why we couldn’t ever fix.


I tried to go, I couldn’t find the exit I know my perceptions faulty.

Doubles in sight, I’v lost all feeling. Now I can see that this fight’s taking its toll on me


Feeling insane coz I can’t see you today, don’t know why we couldn’t ever fix. Why can’t we fix!
Track Name: Reality Relay/Heist(Demo)
Verse:

Quick cross the road to side step flyers that are placed, strategically to maximise annoyance to their prey.

Keep your head down to fake out advertisements on display, hold the fort or they’ll breach your brain!

Chorus:

Take hold of the batten your in a reality relay, you got to keep up in this modern marathon!

Don’t drop the batten your in a reality relay, you got to keep up so I can tag you on when I got the money, tag you on when iv got the money!

Verse:

Glued to your brief case every bump wrenches your soul, but don’t let it go its worth more than that!

Squeeze past the rest conserve your breath you don’t have the time, and watch your step or you’ll be fined!

Chorus:

Take hold of the batten your in a reality relay, you got to keep up in this modern marathon!

Don’t drop the batten your in a reality relay, you got to keep up so I can tag you on when I got the money, tag you on when iv got the money!

Heist

“This is a robbery! “Hands to the ground, no freedom of speech.” “Silence not a sound!”

The rest of the story is told out in the music

2:27 Rounding everybody in the bank up.

2:46 Alarm goes off.

3:04 Grabbing the money and stashing it in the van.

3:25 Starting up the van.

3:27 The get away.
Track Name: Rolling Round London(Demo)
Rolling Round London

Verse:

Started with no luck it seems, I had no choice, always want to be the racing car but I’m stuck with the thimble!

Pass me that chance card there, hope it alright! Street wise, my cash still flies I’m paying rent to the world!

Chorus:

Rolling round the streets of London baby, no body knows your name! Never pass go to collect your dollars! You’re going straight; you’re going straight to…

Verse: Now getting past go is harder than it seems when you’re behind. Materialistic I am now heading up to Mayfair!

Those trains are not too cheap 200 a stop! Snake eyes the bank still hides all the money in the world!

Chorus:

Rolling round the streets of London baby, no body knows your name! Never pass go to collect your dollars! You’re going straight; you’re going straight to…

Bridge: jail! go to jail! Straight to jail, go to Jail!

Chorus:

Rolling round the streets of London baby, no body knows your name! Never pass go to collect your dollars! You’re going straight; you’re going straight to…x2 Jail! Go to jail! Straight to jail, go to Jail!
