Joker or the Joke

(Verse)
In a cold room, suckered by your memory
In a damp sheet, to cover my identity
You wear a crown in a town that’ll drop to its knees for you
Yeah, I’m so daft, I’ll call you when I need to
And I’m stuck playing the same old game
And I’m stuck in my same old ways
Oh the habits I hold within my heart
Will hold me down, won't let me escape this empty embrace
(Chorus)
Finally, I can slip out of reality, slip back out of her arms and see
Am I the joker or the joke?
(Verse)
Jump in the water, care for a swim?
Drown in the music within
Empty chords and words that I wrote for you
Yeah, I’m so daft, I’ll call you when I need to
Your summertime has gone away
Your wintertime has come to stay
Your summertime has gone away
Your winter sun will keep us safe
(Chorus)
Finally, I can slip out of reality, slip back out of her arms and see
Am I the joker or the joke?
(Outro)
Finally, I can slip out of reality, slip back out of her arms and see
Am I the joker or the joke?

She Say Nothing
03:55
|

|
The sunset steals the colour from your face
The dark blue sky will steal all of her grace
And she beats the dead air until it begs for mercy
Or until it’s caged
Just hoped you’d say nothing to me
So it could be like the good old days
Born young and free
Darling can't you see, lying’s all we need
Darling can't you see, heartbreak’s the only drug we need
The weather was warm for you, ain’t never cold for you, trying to appease you just like I used to. So let’s go swim by the beach, play music on the street, I would play my guitar and you would just play me every day, all the same, I never knew what to say when you’d pull this kind of shit, love is just a game in your head. Something’s wrong with your mind, there’s something that we both need to hide behind to find the signs.
You never knew how to speak your mouth, you only hid behind the games until the cards came out. Until you had a winning chance of the jeweler’s hands. Until you know what it’s like in the promised land. You never considered it could be us, you never considered it could be love. I'm sorry for the way I felt, and I guess you were sorry for the way you dealt with it all, it’s our fault.
Just hoped you’d say nothing to me
So it could be like the good old days
Born young and free
Darling can't you see, lying’s all we need
Darling can't you see, heartbreak’s the only drug we need
Just hoped you’d say nothing to me
So it could be like the good old days
Born young and free
Darling can't you see, lying’s all we need
Darling can't you see, heartbreak’s the only drug we need

Crawling Back
02:37

You’ve given the truth the chance
To twist and bend
Those eyes of open seas
Begin to descend
You couldn’t sleep with the
Feeling you’d kept
So you sat and weeped til you
Felt you had wept
I lost my head crawling back home to you
I lost the words again calling out for you
It’s all the same, we’re both to blame, so what’s new?
I lost my crawling back-
Your painted face it seems to
Be the reason
You feel the need to hide
In the mating season
I ask to know you better
As you move like a dancer
But I’m stuck with childproof locks
On all your answers
I lost my head crawling back home to you
I lost the words again calling out for you
It’s all the same, we’re both to blame, so what’s new?
I lost my crawling back-

The Fool's Parade
03:22
|

|
Smoke and mirrors, breath through the air
Your crying thunder sparks through your care
Perception of the trade, and rules you can't bare
Burnt out relics, memories feel so fair
Crocodile tears to slip off wedding rings
Something so strange, but not when the blame is on you
Clowns pulling the strings
Clowns pulling the strings on the
Fool’s parade [repeated 4x]
Excitement feeds and it grows in your bones
You walk by reflections avoiding them all
What will they think?
The wolves when you turn back home
Crocodile tears to slip off wedding rings
Something so strange, but not when the blame is on you
Clowns pulling the strings
Clowns pulling the strings on the
Fool’s parade [repeated 4x]
He thought that he was yours
He thought he could be here forever
But she just can't shake the feeling that sits on the top of her lungs
Holding those ghosts, close to her heart
Fool’s parade [repeated 4x]
