Title: The flight of us. Written By: Eleanor Diplock

Don't spoil me,
with your words of false promise,
Don't build me up,
just to pull and push me down,
I'm tired of, constant compromises
they aren't fun

Hold me up against the ground,
your violence buries me and I've found,
you're the light and love inside my mind,
the joy that burns so deeply

Chorus: Set me free or let me go,
my hearts yours to keep, but I'll let you know
there's an essence of love within your hands,
they hold me close, they understand
so set me free or let me go,
I'm not one to stay, I told you so

I'd love to love you so tender,
but my mind throws repulsive words,
I've never learnt how to love,
but I'll show you what I'm made of

Chorus

Ending: So set me free,
or let me go,
my soul it left,
a while ago,
and I'm stuck inside an empty corpse,
the tides they bring us oh so close

Title: Stare you down. Written By: Eleanor Diplock

And the bullet hit my back
like the wise words of wisdom
there is no turning back,
the foolish heart it weighs me down

gentle fear I sense your presence,
it's like an anchor on my ship,
and I feel like this isn't going to be easy,
when you're all I can sense

Chorus: Take me down, down
to where the other girls lay,
I've been ever so foolish,
with the words I never say
and you cut the rope and set me free,
but my soul it never left me
and you pull me back to where I was,
a foolish heart thrown upon the sea

In real adventures they have fun,
but we are lost inside our minds,
we've no time left to run,
we'd only be running from ourselves
and the troubles our tails,
and you fall to the floor oh so frail,
and I've been here before,
so I'll leave you, I'll leave you once more

chorus

And in wise tales there are two people,
thrown together in a mix of emotions,
and in wise tales they win,
we're constantly swimming for the youthful motions

ending: And oh,
I'll be staring you down,
if I ever see your face in the light of day,
and oh,
I'll be staring you down,
with the foolish look, and the words I'll never say

Title: Beautiful day, in your absence. Written By: Eleanor Diplock

I cut my tongue
in the art of conversation,
you roll your eyes
at the chance of a chase and
you make me want to feel
feel warmth like never before

and it's a beautiful day,
without you,
there's no mist when you're away
I feared your absence, but it brings me joy
a brighter day
I've never felt better, my boy

Chorus: And it's a beautiful way,
to create and be part of such chaotic mess
we're just two people
living and breathing,
we'll forget to feel
until we're left alone bleeding

I've no mind,
but I've words to say,
when such tragedy appeals to a foolish heart like mine,
I'll still wonder how there's nothing left but rain

After all,
when everyone has gone,
I can see who I truly am,
and I'll lay down
with your soul beside mine,
and after all,
we've just to be swept away with the tide

chorus

ending: as the sun concludes the bitter days alone,
we'll be left as grit, smashed down to a dust,
and in love we could be, but in love who are we?

Title: Change. Written By: Eleanor Diplock

All of me,
has never met your standards,
your expectations forever in the magazines

I'm a fool,
I'm bruised and I'm fallen
embedded on my skin is the scent of your breath
it lingers within

Chorus: And I could change,
but then I'd be the blame,
these lonely hands long for your warmth,
I'm wrapped up in flaws,
detailed with inner beauty,
the eye can not see
your eyes don't see me

Change,
like one big cloud,
lingering over our days together,
I guess I'll see you around
helplessly watching the new girl you've found

chorus

ending: In the deep and dark sheets,
we dream of these situations,
it's the lack of commitment and reality
that leaves us with change,
it's all for us now,
these lonely hands won't ever be warm
and your cold heart won't ever be torn

Title: The world in our heads. Written By: Eleanor Diplock

You once told me I could only smile,
if secretly it was full of fear,
love is a four letter word,
the youth of the world consistently use

And they all look so happy,
hands held and hearts soft
and I just have myself,
hands cold and heart full of worry

The way you hold yourself,
ever so weak and attractive,
and I can't help myself,
there's nothing I need more than me and you
I've got you and you know that it's all true
we could make this last forever
the youths definition of forever
(as long as we can)

Chorus: As soon as I see you,
you hit me like a breath of winter air,
intoxicating with no linger or scent,
as soon as I see you
I get so breathless
there's no feeling like this that I've ever felt

We've so much time,
yet we're always rushing,
rushing for perfection,
it's our own definition,
the timings not bad,
we could make this work out
We've so much time
but it's never good enough

chorus

ending: And I've never quite reminisced
of any scent other than yours
it's such a blessing for me too
to finally be acknowledged
to finally become more than a statistic
in this self-hate and disciplined world

Title: for all your worth Written By: Eleanor Diplock

You rule my world,
the skies above feel my pain,
my woeful sigh remains all the same
you set me far above,
you forgave to the god you never believed in

Your smile could stop any war,
but your heart could start another,
you never had any faith to put yourself in,
you're only, someone who possibly
is so much more deserved

Chorus: Grasp the thoughts before you speak,
you lack the knowledge to put any warmth within your feelings,
so somehow we're the same, we cause people such pain
but it's never your fault, oh you're never to blame
you're just a handsome disaster
with luck and lust in your name

and me, myself and I
we've never been that pretty
but the books they tried to make me witty
before all this was the silence and the panic
but we're the cheats,
we ourselves just don't believe

chorus

ending: our thoughts could meet,
but only through cables in the cold,
we've no intentions of success
and happiness lies within our pitiful souls
the silence we stored was always the blame
but we've never really realised how awful it was to play that game

Title: Little bit of you in me. Written By: Eleanor Diplock

I sail in you,
you set the sea in me,
nauseating tides they set the truth
and the fear just washes in

when the love we think we feel subsides
the rainbows are just burning bruises
it's just a little bit of me inside of you
collecting all that you lost

chorus: I'd rather dance with you,
but who'd dance with a fool,
so I'll just swim
I wander through all your dreams
and I watch as they burn bright to dim

we're all given the options,
to pass and look back
at goals we've missed
let's look a little more,
it's all the same

you're not the fool you think you are,
but I'll understand if you can't run far,
I'll hold you with my problems,
held against my face, smooth as any girl you've loved who was fake

chorus


ending: there's a little bit of you in the sun,
I'm watching you now,
you're a beautiful destruction,
created with just one hand,
whilst pulling your hair with the other
