1.
My fallen face awaits the best. I bring disgrace and beat my chest. I’ve placed my faith in recklessness and got the eighth of a promise. I bear the bane of changing winds, as the weather vane just cries and grins. And how insane are the unseen and trivial pains we keep concealed. Make a song and dance – we’ll figure out your stance. Spin and swirl across the room and I’ll unfurl the flag of doom. The mud they hurl will stain and boom, and I’ll just curl up and die and just assume, as flames rise high, we were consumed.
2.
A sudden flick and we distract our sore and sick selves from impacts. We twist and rick our necks and act as if the crick was but abstract. And we writhe in pain, and we writhe in pain, and we writhe in pain, and we writhe in pain. A circle of oppression that’s made of gold beats into submission – we were both cast in the same mould. And as our chests are cracking open, the rats infest the lion’s den. We’ll try and rest amongst the men like threatening pests, but until then we shall writhe in pain, we shall writhe in pain, we shall writhe in pain, we shall writhe in pain.

Resilience 04:07
I have shut some doors and smashed some more, but I can't seem to shout or scream through yours. I have crawled some floors and licked some more, but I can't seem to snort what's been on yours. I have won some fights and lost my might, but there's no skin more disarming than yours. I have followed lights and lost my sight, but my eyes sing with the blinking of yours. It's been done before and done some more, but I know now that my hand's sown to yours. What's it all for? Will we be sore when the end starts and my heart parts from yours?
4.
Trepidation 03:10
A sign of the times and I cover my ears and my eyes. A passion without crimes, without guilt though the court still tries. My spine pumps the grime from a stainless steel year in disguise. Trepidation in its prime, but the hilt cannot thwart a reprise. What was that for? Doors we slammed and rainy shores - time to implore, time to abhor. One, two, three, four - here I am, at your door, asking for more, asking for more.
5.
Magnanimity 03:37
An army of slaves, they dig their own graves, and waves after waves, they shall fall. She said she would save, she said she would pave a path made of staves as they bawl. And he's oh so vile as they drop to their knees in denial and they still pray on the first day of the month of may. He reeves all their chains through holes in their pains: a screw and a thane for his dolls. She called them her swains. For miles and through rain, she goes with them twain through the palls.
6.
Backseat 03:25
Love in the backseat is a short-term comfort for us all, with a stranger whose first name you'll have forgotten by tomorrow or even by the end of the day, there's no space for such memory, even by the end of the day. Love in the front seat is an offence to the eyes of the people that are passing by, with a stranger whose last name you don't know and don't want to know it, anyway not even by the end of the day, there's no space for such memory, even by the end of the day. Love, in the first place, should be a long-term comfort for us all, a cocoon made of warmth and light that you don't ever want to leave, no matter what is waiting for you outside, even by the end of your time, you'll replay all those memories you were thinking had no place in your mind.
