Something for the Numb

The world is made of paper
I can fit it in my fist
Start a fire with it later
They’ll find another leader
Who won’t fix the problem either
Remind myself to breathe
I’ve been stuck for ages
Seven wardrobe changes
On this train for ages
Trying to get off
All my friends are famous
Losing them to strangers
All the world's a stage
Why don’t we get off
I need, something, something for the numb
I need, something, something, something, something
I can’t see who you’ve become
I need, something, something, something, something
Nothing ever changes
If you can’t trust strangers
Pure rage at that age
See how they turn up
Facing all their faces
Filling up the spaces
Riding on their wave
Gave me reason to wake up
I need, something, something for the numb
I need, something, something, something, something
I can’t see who you’ve become
I need, something, something, something, something
It looks an ounce but it feels a ton
I need something, anyone?

Silver Buttons

They call her divine
She’s got them dancing like they’re making a sacrifice
They’re calling her fierce
Sharpening the points beside her eyes
I can not decide
If I wanna be her or I want to make her mine
Look in my eye
Maybe I’ll see you on the other side
Have you seen her dressed in black?
With silver buttons on her back?
Like breadcrumbs leading down a track
Are silver buttons on her back
On her back
What have I done?
Just learned to walk and now you need me to run
I’m on the face of the sun
Counting down your buttons one by one
Girl how do you do it..
Can you walk me through it? (x5)
Girl how do you do it..
Can you walk me?
Run
Have you seen her dressed in black?
With silver buttons on her back?
Like breadcrumbs leading down a track
Are silver buttons on her back
On her back
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
Run
Have you seen her dressed in black?
With silver buttons on her back?
Like breadcrumbs leading down a track
Are silver buttons on her back
On her back
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
Run

I’ve been here before
Staring at the wall
It wasn’t the first time
My feet lift off the floor
There’s always something more
It’s sublime I just feel fine
It’s like Miss Clavell felt waking up in the night
Singing ‘something is not right, something is not right’
She can’t say how and she can’t say why
But something is not right
I’m having a moment
Coz I’m lost in reason, left in rhyme
I’m taking a moment
On autopilot override
I’m having a moment
Coz nobody sees when the sun’s too bright
I’m taking a moment
It’s just a trick, it’s a trick of the light
I’m a tourist in a land
I’ll never understand
Writing a guidebook
Imprinted on my eye
Are mountains and the sky
And suddenly I’m shook
It’s like Miss Clavell felt waking up in the night
Singin ‘something is not right, something is not right’
I can’t say how and I can’t say why
But something is not right
I’m having a moment
Coz I’m lost in reason, left in rhyme
I’m taking a moment
On autopilot override
I’m having a moment
Coz nobody sees when the sun’s too bright
I’m taking a moment
It’s just a trick, it’s a trick of the light
I look so small
So easily broken
The higher I go so far below
I’m a drop in the ocean
I’m having a moment
Coz I’m lost in reason, left in rhyme
I’m taking a moment
On autopilot override
I’m having a moment
Coz nobody sees when the sun’s too bright
I’m taking a moment
It’s just a trick, it’s a trick of the light

California Paper Doll

I found out too late
Just indicate
That would be great
That would be great
No numberplate
Private estate
I can’t relate
I can’t relate
I am a paper doll
And I'm not cut out for this
I am a paper doll
And I'm not cut out for this
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die in California
Every day’s a ride
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
I’m blinded by the lights
By the lights of California
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die in California
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna die
Goody two shoes
Don’t make the news
Nothing to loose
Nothing to prove
Split me in two
Take half with you
Don’t make me choose
Don’t make me choose
I am a paper doll
And I'm not cut out for this
I am a paper doll
Not cut out for this
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die in California
Every day’s a ride
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
I’m blinded by the lights
By the lights of California
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die in California
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna die
If we bring a little joy into your humdrum lives
It makes us feel as though our hard work
Ain’t been in vain, ain’t been in vain, ain’t been
I am a paper doll
And I'm not cut out for this
I am a paper doll
I am not cut out for this
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die in California
Every day’s a ride
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
I’m blinded by the lights
By the lights of California
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna die in California
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die in California
