Flaws 05:48
Every time I argue with a fool I always lose 
Every time I argue with a fool I lose
 Your fundamental flaws seep through every single pore
 Seep right (through) every single pore they seep through 

I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong
 Yes I knew this all along
 Yes I knew

 Your fundamental flaws
 Seep through every single pore
 Your fundamental flaws
 Seep through every single pore
 Seep through every single pore

 Your fundamental flaws 
Seep through every single pore 
Your fundamental flaws 
Seep through every single pore
 Seep through every single pore

 Every time I smelt the fumes
 Of your unperfumed views
 Every time unperfumed fumes
 Obscured my view
Insecurities absorbed 
Dispersed like reproductive spores
 Dispersed like reproductive spores 
All over you 

I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong 
I was right and you were wrong
 Yes I knew this all along
Y es I knew 

Insecurities absorbed 
Dispersed like reproductive spores 
Insecurities absorbed
 Dispersed like reproductive spores 
Dispersed like reproductive spores
 Your fundamental flaws
 Seep through every single pore 
Insecurities absorbed
 Dispersed like reproductive spores

Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose
 Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose 
Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose 
Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose 
 Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose
 Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose 
Every time I argue with a fool I always lose I always lose

You are the acid to my alkaline
 You are the acid to my alkaline 
You are the rash to my calamine

 You are the kink in my Venetian blind
 You are the kink in my Venetian blind
 The mechanism which won't unwind
 You are the kink in my Venetian blind 

When two magnets push together they repel one another once the negative sides are aligned 
You can't mix water with spirit of turpentine.

Keep your friends at arm’s length, It’s no coincidence That i’ve tasted A pervasive pattern of negative Excuses We built shipwrecks out of relationships We used expletives as bandages A match stick struck sparks a flame extinct Sparks a flame extinct We invented little stabs at success We looked around, we haven’t found it yet A spark extinguished before its ignited A spark never lit We attempted little stabs at happiness, Failed attempts all meaningless We attempted little stabs at happiness We built shipwrecks out of relationships We used expletives as bandages A match stick struck sparks a flame extinct Sparks a flame extinct We attempted little stabs at success We looked around, we haven’t found it A spark extinguished before its ignited A spark never lit We attempted little stabs at happiness, Failed attempts all meaningless

Daggers 04:44
Daggerssssssssss Figurines of toy soldiers raise rifles to their shoulders Fragrances barricaded to the scent of blown fuses Uses bruises to confuses us Barks at eucalyptus juices Vapours used as circuit breakers Soaked with artificial flavours At the end of your tether Like Damocles in tatters If it doesn’t really matter Why we keep on throwing daggers daggers daggers Vapours used as circuit breakers Soaked with artificial flavours Illustrated book of Greek myths References the god of excuses Figurines of toy soldiers raise their rifles to their shoulders Fragrances barricaded to the scent of blown fuses At the end of his tether Damocles in tatters If it doesn’t really matter why we keep on throwing daggers If it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers if it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers If it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers if it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers If it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers if it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers If it doesn’t really matter why you keep on throwing daggers Daggers Daggers Daggers Daggers

You keep picking the scabs round the edges Till it bleeds crimson red and cracks concrete grey Cracks concrete grey She ignores the vagaries of fashion Which can’t of escaped even your attention Your attention Unravelling the seams that helped you pull the strings That shifted contours in between the lines of longitude And latitude There you strayed from the original Coordinates to Uncharted maps sung out of tune In solitude The vagaries She ignores The vagaries Of fashion She ignores The vagaries Of fashion

Your imperfections swim in the shallows Our lungs exhausted With hallucination Your complexion Is perfect gallows As the weeping willows Weeps red weeping yellow I flame disgust In your direction As we slowly sink Into a sea Ringed with Visions On a sea ringed With Visions Intoxicated With infatuation Your complexion Is perfect gallows As the weeping willows Weeps red weeping yellow I flame disgust In your direction As we slowly sink Into a sea Ringed with Visions Your complexion Is perfect gallows As the weeping willows Weeps red weeping yellow Your complexion Is perfect gallows As the weeping willows Weeps red weeping yellow Your complexion Is perfect gallows As the weeping willows Weeps red weeping yellow Your complexion Is perfect gallows As the weeping willows Weeps red weeping yellow
