Aba 03:39
Never had a picture perfect hundred percent, Didn't have experience or know where we went, Never felt a hole we're whole the whole of our lives, Didn't let me go until I found my own wife Times I wandered far from paths into danger fields, You braved life and limb to bring me back on my knees, Times that demons fought and tried to capture my soul, You became my light and brought me back to the world, Your strength shines on all, Your heart rules the world. Advantages were aways short or in small supply, But conquering considered status quo your reply, Incandescent adolescent never were shy, Standing shoulder by giants way up in the sky 20 hour days can't keep you off your feet Hundred thousand miles can't get you beat, Patriarchal rules can't push you to defeat, Always flying high up with great elite. You're my picture perfect one hundred percent.

Overcome 03:44
I was in a bar in Boston when I realised my youth had slipped away. 24 years old, I never wrote, hardly ever called. And as the barman took my empty glass away, I knew that it was time to do and not just say. And all my real friends know that that was it for me as I got up to go. Grief is the price we pay for love When you care so much that the feeling fills you up And when that's stolen you're left numb That's all that's left for me and I am overcome. Is this the price we pay Is this the price we pay Is this the price we pay For love, for love. Now when I walk I don't know where I come from And when I talk I sneer all of my lines And I just feel, I don't have time Every moment left for me I've got to make it mine. Grief is the price we pay for love When you care so much that the feeling fills you up And when that's stolen you're left numb There's nothing left for me and I am overcome Is this the price we pay Is this the price we pay Is this the price we pay For love, for love.

Dammit 02:42
It's alright to tell me what you think about me I won't try to argue or hold it against you I know that you're leaving you must have your reasons The season is calling and your pictures are falling down The steps that I retrace the sad look on your face The timing and structure did you hear he fucked her? A day late a buck short I'm writing the report On losing and failing when I move I'm flailing now And it's happened once again I'll turn to a friend Someone that understands Sees through the master plan But everybody's gone And I've been here for too long To face this on my own Well I guess this is growing up Well I guess this is growing up And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy And I'll smile and you'll wave we'll pretend it's okay The charade it won't last when he's gone I won't come back And it'll happen once again You'll turn to a friend Someone that understands And sees through the master plan But everybody's gone And you've been there for too long To face this on your own Well I guess this is growing up

massive thank you to Demon Smiles for letting me borrow such an important song, thanks to Blink-182 for hopefully not suing me and to The Drunken Ramblings for putting up with me not making sense in their living room for far too long. Cheers to Mark Bell for doing an incredible job on the artwork. Most of all thanks to my mum, who this is entirely dedicated to and without whom I wouldn't be around to sing about her.
