Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch

01 - One Man Army

Save me from this space

Save me from this space, space

 

Take these plastic people
Read their lips, now let it linger
Is there anything that makes them sound sincere?
Tightly hold your hand
Take a deep breath, give them the finger
Are you worried
That your thoughts are not quite clear? (Twitch)
Overlooked, unfit appearance

I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze 
I know I'm coughing
I believe in something
I don’t want to remember falling
For your lies

Unbutton your clothes
Undress your soul, show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear?
Come on, take this gasoline tin
Head up high, walk like a winner
Let the bare feet be the last sounds that they hear (Twitch)

Overlooked, unfit appearance

 

I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I know I'm coughing
I believe in something
I don’t want to remember falling
For your lies

 

Falling, I remember falling

I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I know I'm coughing
I believe in something
I don’t want to remember falling
For your lies

 

I remember crawling

I remember marching

I don't remember falling

I don’t want to remember falling
For your lies
 

02 - Happiness And The Fish

I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today
And unimpressed
I can't remember all the names 
Everyone you meet today
Is just so fucking vain

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in there

I've lost in there

I'm upset
Happiness is not a fish
That you can catch
Imagination can't resist
The laziness
That pins you down, get on your knees
Everyone you meet
Is feeling useless and ashamed

 

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in 

 

Everyone you meet
Is feeling useless and ashamed

 

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in there

 

But I won't remember

But I won't forget this

But I won't forget the life

But I won't remember

But I won't forget this

But I won't forget the life I lost in there

 

03 - Potato Girl

We live, we die
I don't know the reasons we ask why
We hate, push
Recent tests show we're all misunderstood

Come on now something's seizing
You know you lost your mind
You know we all need saving
She found you late last night
You feel the madness gaining
You know you just can't win
You know this, you know this, you know this 
But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground


I, well I never knew the girl
And then I never knew the world hurt

I, I, And I , I, well I never knew the girl

We beg, we pray
But everything still happens anyway yeah 
Come on now something's teasing
Your conscience can't decide
She kept your will from caving
But left you paranoid

You feel the constant straining
She reappears divine
You noticed, you noticed, you noticed
But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone

 

I, well I never knew the girl
And then I never knew the world hurt

I, I, And I , I

 

Hey hey, I, I , I, I ohhhhhh

Hey hey, I, I , I, I ohhhhhh

 

I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground

I, well I never knew the girl
And then I never knew the world hurt

I, I, And I, I, well I never knew the girl

And then I never knew the world

I, I, And I, I

 

04 -Blister

Lately, I can't breathe
Waiting, they're chasing me
No one listens but I'm ok with it

Only, I wonder why
If only, my hands weren't tied
The world's a blister
But I'm ok with it

Don't touch me
What if I was there
And what if I was scared
I'm waiting for
And they're at my door
But I'll be back again

Lonely, I'm wandering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm ok with it

 

Don't trust me

What if I was there
And what if I was scared
I'm waiting for
And they're at my door
But I'll be back again

And I'll be back again

 

You wonder why

I don't know

You shout at me

Let me go

you wonder why

I don't know

You shout at me

Let me go

 

And what if I was there (don't touch me)
And what if I was scared (don't trust me)
I'm waiting for
And they're at my door
But I'll be back again

 

And what if I was there (don't touch me)
And what if I was scared (don't trust me)
I'm waiting for
And they're at my door
But I'll be back again

 

I'm waiting for
And they're at my door

 

05 - Is Anybody Home?

Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far?

Woo woo woo woo woo woo 

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Woo woo woo woo woo woo 

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

 

Tonight, your faith has come down
To money and a TV
Psychics who've never been to mars
And nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared

Hey is anybody home?
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone 

 

Woo woo woo woo woo woo 

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Woo woo woo woo woo woo 

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo


Goodnight, the truth has come out
That everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet God
And be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
And I'm bare, I'm bare

Hey is anybody home?
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes

Is anybody low

Has anybody painted fear on the bedroom walls 

That save us from many

Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes when their not alright

 

Hey is anybody home?
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes

Is anybody low

Has anybody painted fear on the bedroom walls 

That everyone becomes, becomes, becomes, becomes, becomes, becomes

The loneliness that everyone becomes

 

06 - Waited

Hit the ground
Weighed down again
You walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend

It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everyone's oh 
Is everyone ok

I waited

Oh I , Oh I waited

Oh I, Oh I, 

Oh I must be too dumb to be proud
Cause I waited, waited

Woke to sounds
Prayed you were there
Fell back down
But I'm sure you still care

 

It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everythings oh 
Is everything ok

 

I waited

Oh I , Oh I waited

Oh I, Oh I, 

Oh I must be too dumb to be proud
Cause I waited, waited

Oh I , waited, waited here

Oh I

 

Oh I must have been bored and 

And I'm down and I

Must have been bored...

 

Waited

Oh I , Oh I waited

Oh I, Oh I, 

Oh I must be too dumb to be proud
Cause I waited, waited here 

 

Oh I waited, waited here

Oh I waited waited here

Oh I waited waited here

Oh I

 

07 - Thief

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes, I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tags the last thing you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
And we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space

And I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your

Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on water
Cause the hallways are empty, clocks tick

 

As the world implodes

We fall into it

And we can't go home because this will not go away

There's a house built out in space

 

And I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
It's a long, long getaway, it's a long, long getaway

Make it home again

Make it home again

It's a long, long getaway, it's a long, long getaway

 

And I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your

I'm here

and I can be your, be your

I'm here

It's a long, long getaway

 

08 - Lying Awake

I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
Nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine 

Nobody left in line
No one to make you shine

Running away from the backs of opinions
You've borrowed and betrayed

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
You mother, another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
Nothing to talk about
Nothing to change my mind

 

Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine 

 

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
You mother, another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

 

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
You mother, another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

 

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
You mother, another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

 

09 - Annie

You're a little bit shy
A little too quiet
You're the mixed up girl
That everybody leaves behind
A little bit weird
A little too bright oh
But you just might be
That little bomb at their side
They'll pull your hair
They'll leave you wide-eyed
But did anybody wonder
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

There's something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You're a little bit dry
A little uptight
You're the messed up girl
That everybody tries to hide
You've had enough
They're too unkind
But did anyone consider
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

 

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

 

Woah oh oh 

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

Woah oh oh 

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh oh 

 

Woah oh oh 

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

Woah oh oh 

Woah oh oh

Oh oh

 

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

 

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead, everyone is dead, everyone is dead, Everyone is dead, everyone is dead, everyone is dead

 

10 - Consequence of Laughing

Uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

 

Take all your pills and divide them
By colour and size
And take all your problems and advise them
That everything's fine
Since you ran away you've been beating
Your habits to death
And if you were to stay would you feed them
This white happiness

Nobody wants to harm you
When you're outside
But it's hard to believe
When everyone's killing time
But somebody knows
That you're not just laughing, you're not laughing

 

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh


Take all your pills and divide them
By number and might
And take all your problems chastise them
Everything's nice
Since you've ran away you've been beating
Those ladders instead
But if you were to stay would you feed them
With violence and 

 

Nobody wants to harm you
When you're outside
But it's hard to believe
When everyone's killing time
But somebody knows
That you're not just laughing, you're not laughing

 

No no no no no yeah

No no no no 

No no no no no yeah

No no no no 

 

Nobody wants to harm you
When you're outside
But it's hard to believe
When everyone's killing time
But somebody knows
That you're not just laughing, you're not laughing, you're not laughing, you're not laughing

 

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh oh

 

11 - Stealing Babies

I'm teething on answers you're saving
How you gonna make me sleep again
Well I'm dreaming you're stealing babies
When you gonna make me understand, why
How should I say "I'm so sorry"
How should I pray to know that we're alive...

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold
She's not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream

You're leaving pieces of family
How you gonna help them understand
Oh I'm screaming you're stealing babies
Why you want to knock us down again why

How should I say "I'm so sorry"
How should we pray to make us feel alive...

 

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold
She's not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream

Do do do do do do 

 

It must be our egos

It must be my lack 

Of faith that it might not come back 

 

It must be our egos 

It must be my lack 

Of faith that it might not come back

 

I've been weighed down again, I'm

Weighed down again

I've been weighed down again, I'm

Weighed down, weighed down, weighed down, down, down, down
