Streetlights 00:43
Melting tarmac Blazing hot days Feeling ugly Wasting away Waiting for those nights Adrenalin and streetlights That scent in the air I can never quite describe Waiting for those nights When the asphalt beneath me Is burning bright Spinning Running Through those eyes Walking through these streets Sweating your name Scratching at these walls Scratching at your name Nights burning like fire Lights up these faces Real memories Real places That scent in the air That scent's always there On nights like these On nights like these Waiting for those nights Of adrenalin and streetlights Waiting for those nights When i feel fuckin alive

Brain holes 01:00
Breathing in an iron lung Standing among another species Breathing Boredom Silence See a stranger crying Dark room Music next door, water on the floor, a name on a wall Brain holes

Bombing 01:23
This usual shit wont let up today Waste of time, fucking trash, need to get away From these circles and squares, these crocodile tears Need to ride some fuckin streets tonight Bombing Nothing else matters when all you can hear is the sound of your wheels Bombing Get out of here and head for the hills Leave the house with visions of speed in my head 4 a.m. Wednesday morning, this city is dead The air is coming at me, dries out my eyes Homemade skateboard decks and powerslides Bombing Nothing else matters when all you can hear Is the sound of your wheels Bombing Just get out of here and head for the fucking hills

This Place 01:13
Another night, another hollow day Another screened nothing to shed these hours away Another motherfucker to tell me what it's about Another song to tell me I'm with when I'm without Cold, broken asphalt, our lives written on it Piss stained memories and Saturday night vomit I hate this place but i cant help but love it My friend told me "I don't want to be here" My friend said "I don't know what to do" Fuck this place and all the sadness running through it I'm spitting on this place and what it's given to you Cold, broken asphalt, our lives written on it Piss stained memories and Saturday night vomit I hate this place but i cant help but love it Dribble your romance but i can't help but say "fuck it"

You walk down the street Heads above the rest You're everywhere, you fucking hero You're the man yeah you're the best One thing that I'm learning One thing I know that is true Every time I see you I know I hate you You're a waste of money You're a waste of fucking time And i hate you more every second that i stare into your eyes Thoughts manifesting in me Rise up in my mind Thoughts of sharpening up a bullet And placing it in your spine Dumb fuck fresh out of high school Dumb fuck fresh out on the beat You fuck with the lives of the homeless as if you own these fucking streets You're not part of any community and you're not my fucking friend And the only time I'll be thankful for your guidance is when if fucking ends

Sussex St 01:49
A cold house, but a warm home So many people that you're never alone Mie Gorengs and toast a typical meal No locks on the doors But theres nothing to steal Living at Sussex street House parties Crowd surfing off couches All ages, no charge and no arsehole bouncers On the back deck, drinking booze Hanging out, and getting shit tattoos Living at Sussex street Drive past it every now and again And even if we went back It'd never really be the same A new place is going to start up soon Because all you really need is a bunch of kids and a room A bunch of kids, who dont fuckin care and when it starts up you know were gonna be there Living at Sussex street

Defrost 01:20
The trees outside reach up to nothing Outside my window as I let time drip by Step outside, cold air hits my lungs Under this cold, empty blue sky Light from the midwinter sun Shine down, defrost me Get so tired from doing nothing Broken friendships and the threat of money Escape this venom that makes me feel so weak Wish I could do this every day Light from the midwinter sun Shine down, defrost me Warmth from the midwinter sun Shine down, defrost me

Sirens 04:09
Standing in the city deafened by silence Surrounded by buildings, this city is violence Off in the distance, I hear sirens echo in the night Yelling at a brick wall Sometimes i wonder why I yell at all Sirens in the distance these people are like pistons Shout and no one listens In the darkness nothing glistens Got a mouth full of spit, to spit at the rain One day you'll all know my name Am I awake or am I asleep I walk the street, Im counting sheep I'm yelling but it feels like no one listens at all Sometimes it feels like I'm yelling at a brick wall Yelling at a brick wall Sometimes i wonder why I yell at all

Sitting in my room, imagining the lights of Lyon here with me cross the canal or on the ferris wheel overlooking the city The church on the hill at night, an overwhelming feeling That I couldn't be further from, these shores of New Zealand Going back to Lyon *At a nightclub, on a boat sitting at the bar or walking through alleyways, with my friends smoking cigars Going back to Lyon If I could, I'd be on the next plane to go back again And when I get there I hope the feeling is still the same Driving to work, sick and tired and my money's gone Remembering when we stayed up all night and watched the sunrise in Lyon

Rain 01:39
I want to dissolve into the Earth like rain I never want to feel this way again Felt this way so many times before Wait for the rain, its gonna fuckin' pour Let it rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, let it fuckin' pour Walking down the street, feels like I'm drowning Feels like theres an ocean around me Theres a storm inside my brain I can feel the pouring of the rain I can see a big storm coming see the storm clouds gather above me Every time, its always the same, but theres a comfort in sadness and a comfort in rain Let it rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, let it fuckin' pour

Home 06:29
Watch dirty water spiral and drain down the sink staring at it disappear I don't even blink Work's now finished, shut the door tight Put my black hood up, and step out into the night Face-less faces, a streetlight oasis graffitied walls, human traces This place is always there for me concrete certainty I love this city This place looks good from a distance this place I call my home Apartment block silhouettes faces every second that I forget walking upwards, away from the light this city looks good tonight Follow my feet, city's falling asleep hill gets steep, concrete turns to dirt the city lights block out the stars in the sky and the horizons inverted And in the water appears another city it comes out at night from the light in the sea on top of Mt Vic I watch the sun set this is the place that I live This place is my Home
