Is It?

Is it something, we can change?
Is it something, worth our days of life?
Say this with me, we're not wrong
Say this with me, it won't take long at all.
Read all about it, news just in.
Read all about it, we've gone past the point to begin.
Can't control them, it's no use.
Can't control them, how much time do you think... we have left?
We used to be peaceful.
We used to be peaceful.
We used to be harmless.
Took our time and made it right.
We used to be peaceful.
Take it from us, we'll be mad.
Take it from us, it'll really make it hard to win.
Hear my story, please don't go.
Hear my story, I'd really think you'd like to know.
We used to be peaceful.
We used to be peaceful.
We used to be harmless.
Took our time and made it right.
We used to be peaceful.

Slipped On A Fire

Slip on a fire, I won't get burned.
Spread through the wire, you'll never learn.
I know, exactly what won't help and what will.
I know, it's not all real but it makes it feel that way.
I feel like I hate me, could there be more?
Had enough of the wondering, I can't be sure.
I know, exactly what won't help and what will.
I know, it's not all real but it makes it feel that way.
Take some shelter, I'll still get wet.
Make it an understatement, or better yet.
I know, exactly what won't help and what will.
I know, it's not all real but it makes it feel that way.
I slipped on a fire, just let it burn.
At the height of the hour, I'll take my turn.

Insomnia

Today I couldn't sleep.
Feeling restless for weeks.
Spend my nights watching time.
As every thought crosses my mind.
Well you noticed.
That I needed some help.
And you gave me what I wanted.
But you were too late.
Just let my head take a rest.
There's nothing wrong, I could of guessed.
Sit in darkness, waiting to close my eyes.
The moon is glowing, a haze it fills the skies.
Well you noticed.
That I needed some help.
And you gave me what I wanted.
But you were too late.
The sun is up it's time to try.
It never works, I don't know why.
The quiet bird song, sings me a lullaby.
It's almost silent, leave me where I lie.
Well you noticed.
That I needed some help.
And you gave me what I wanted.
But you were too late.

Nightmare In Paris

You'll follow me, anywhere.
Keep me awake, you won't care.
Fighting fast at every turn, don't give into it.
Shadows please, hear my plead, spare me tonight.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
A nightmare in Paris.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
A nightmare in Paris.
Beasts amongst us, hallowed monsters, sharpening their teeth.
Pain is growing all but showing, flicker to the light.
Run and run it slows me down, floor made of ice it's frozen -
everything that I can see, the dream begins to fade.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
A nightmare in Paris.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
A nightmare in Paris.
Around every corner, hiding at every turn.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
A nightmare in Paris.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
A nightmare in Paris.
It's a nightmare in Paris.
It's a nightmare in Paris.

Rory Mackenzie recommends:
Teens Of Denial
by Car Seat Headrest
This is one of the greatest garage rock albums I've heard. It feels nostalgic while still feeling like something brand new. Clever lyrics, wholesome guitars, lots of angst. It'll stay in your head.
