Modern Man 03:08
Satisfaction guarantee, if you join the company Pension plan, quiet life, it’s alright. Working hard is easy when you love your job right? Anyway, I’ve got no choice, dept is just a part of life Once a year I get away, drink toquilla everyday Don’t really care about the place, a beach, a bar, I cant complain I levelled up my life, mum and dad they did alright But if they had a brain and looks like me, I’d be man of the century This ain't the way stars aligned Doctor prescribes to fix my mind I cant believe a tragedy It’s not as it seems, I live a dream. 
The girl ain’t satisfied, never signed up for this life Glances at the tele screen to wish away her wildest dreams Honey please, won’t you leave? The house is paid for, leave the keys Nothing mends a broken heart, but a baby means we’d never part Anyway that’s not the case, she loves me, we’ll be okay She’s often out, I never doubt, she knows I’m the best around Five bed house, facing south, privet school, swimming pool Modern man, model wife, quiet village, simple life This ain't the way stars aligned The doctor prescribes to fix my mind I cant believe a tragedy It’s not as it seems, I live a dream. This is the way your stars aligned Living a lie, you lost your mind You hate your life, you hate your wife This ain't your dream its a tragedy This is the way your stars aligned Living a lie, you lost your mind You hate your life, you hate your wife This ain’t a dream you’re just a walking tragedy

I’ve lost my sense of place and time I’ve lost my things, I’ve lost my mind War was won before I knew And still I kept on chasing you I was left breathing in all the smoke that you left behind… (Shame) The trenches lined my boots with lead, I’m shellshocked inside your bed (Shame) Salute, my flag Include, my madness You’re searching to find another And you know there is no other Take me on I’m the one I wish my home was near my heart But I have travelled way too far My compass has no signal, And I swipe because I’m single The road is dark, my dreams are hard, I’m selfish to think I can be loved (Shame) I overheat within your hands, Snub the flame that floods our land (Shame) Salute, my flag Include, my madness You’re searching to find another And you know there is no other Take me on You know there is no other Take me on You know there is no other Take me on I’m the one Take me on I’m the one Salute, my flag Include, my madness You’re searching to find another And you know there is no other Take me on I’m the one Take me on I’m the one You know there is no other You see me as another I’ll be the one undercover And I’ll be the last one laughing

Blood Sweat Broke Again Tap and swipe your time, Medicate for life, Makes you feel alright, Simplify my brain, Pixel serenades, Keep us out the way They don’t see what we see, They don’t eat the food we eat, They don’t sleep near our streets, Don’t care for my wellbeing They’re not looking out for me Looking out for you They’re just watching what you do It’s all Blood Sweat And I’m broke Blood Sweat And I’m broke (Broken) I work hard to live Life drained through a sieve All that’s left is this Work/life balancing Rent takes everything Blood and sweat, broke Blood Sweat Blood Sweat And I’m broke (Broken) Blood Sweat Broken (That’s me, that’s you) Blood Sweat Broke Blood Sweat Broke Blood Sweat Broke Oh I’m blood, sweat and broken

Storm 03:08
Picket fence, picket line Out of cash, out of time I smell something in the air Breathe it in without a care Internet, Cigarette Brief description about yourself Profile is looking fine Cast the spell and swipe right Shelter me from this storm It's the newest sensation, Notification, Feel the vibration, Feels like a storm I never did find what I wanted in life, But I found it on my phone and now it's in my bed You're one of my kind and you're proving me right Even though I try and hide it, it rears its ugly head Shelter me from this storm It's the newest sensation, Notification, Feel the vibration, Feels like a storm Feels like a Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Feels like a storm Shelter me from this storm

Fight 02:54
Common ground gets dusted in the boy's room An atmosphere that you could cut through The key unlocking all my demons Ego pumps through my veins My reflection in a knife cuts deeper than the blade Flashing neon lights intoxicate the brain Never coming back, never gonna be the same Its a beast of a city Its a beast of a city She's living a life inside the disco ball Reflecting my approach like a mile high wall My pockets aren't deep but the ladder, It's tall Its a beast of a city Its a beast of a city I'm never coming back, never coming back I'm never coming back, never coming back Common ground gets dusted in the boy's room An atmosphere that you could cut through The key unlocking all my demons Ego pumps through my veins I felt this burden for so long I felt this burden for so long I felt this burden for so long I'm over I'll never be the same I'll never be the same I'll never be the same I'll never be the same Common ground gets dusted in the boy's room An atmosphere that you could cut through The key unlocking all my demons Ego pumps through my veins Indecision floating like a weightless feather Your mood swings round like the English weather Ego brittle like the 0-zone layer Its a beast of a city Its a beast of a city A wounded soldier is a dangerous man Coupled with a country on its knees and hands I'm ready for a fight but it's a hundred to none Its a beast of a city Its a beast of a city My reflection in a knife cuts deeper than the blade Flashing neon lights intoxicate the brain Never coming back, never gonna be the same Its a beast of a city Its a beast of a city I'm living her life inside the disco ball Reflecting my approach like a mile high wall My pockets aren't deep but the ladder, It's tall Its a beast of a city Its a beast of a city
