Spiralling out of control
Struggling to grab a hold
You look strung out
You've been worried so long
Your mind is filled with doubt
You try to shout
But something's got your tongue
You cannot make a sound
Here were are
Ready or not
If your feeling down
Then we're gonna hit the spot
And if its all too much
And your coming undone
Then join with us
And we'll show you where to run
You feel confused
Your disillusionment
is cause for grave concern
You cannot choose
You always freeze up and
You don't know where to turn
Yeah, you've got nowhere to go
and no-one to call
and it feels like you're stuck
behind unscalable walls
And you're losing your head
Say you'd rather be dead
Than suffer any more
Here were are
Ready or not
If your feeling down
Then we're gonna hit the spot
And if its all too much
and your coming undone
Then join with us
And we'll show you where to run
(You'll feel so good
And find that there are others who are on your side
Then we will torch the masses homes
And watch them burn)

I've been fighting off the creeping thoughts
And practising the words I've been taught
From early age, from my very first take
But then your blackhole eyes
Draw me in again, its a perfect science
An inevitable ache
And I can't find the words to say
How each second feels as it slips away
And I know that this love could take me to another place
And I know that this love could help me understand
And I know that this love could help me to feel better and I feel...
This love is impossible
You've got me chasing shadows up the wall
And finding out new ways not to fall
Under your spell, yeah Im trying not to break
But your words hypnotise
And drag me deep under, it's a perfect science
An inevitable ache
And I can't find the words to say
How each second feels as it slips away
And I know that this love could take me to another place
And I know that this love could help me understand
And I know that this love could help me to feel better and I feel...
This love is impossible
(This love is impossible)
I can never hope to achieve (it)
And I know that this love could take me to another place
And I know that this love could help me understand
And I know that this love could help me to feel better and I feel...
This love is impossible
(This love is impossible)

You could laugh it off if you wanted to
The ends would be the same
You could back track and say it's all untrue
But you couldn't extinguish the flame
Took the time
To fully commit to your lie
So say goodbye
And watch the rust fly
You could get down on guilty knees and beg
For lenient punishment
You could implore us to show higher sense
But it wouldn't change the place you're sent
Took the time
To fully commit to your lie
So say goodbye
And watch the rust fly
Took the time
To fully commit to your lie
So say goodnight
Say goodbye
And watch the rust fly

Raise high the roof beams carpenters
Is a book i've never read
But I keep it on my mantelpiece
To keep up the false pretense
That I am an intellectual
Who is struggling for his art
Rather than a lazy ne'er-do-well
With a barely beating heart
As long as I keep you in the dark
My alibis they won't fall apart
As long as you don't know the subject
my empty words will surely impress
But as soon as you question me at all
You will find out that I am a fraud
And I won't know how
How to do anything but crumble
Lets finish off this bottle here
(And talk of politics)
Let's restate our foreign policy
(And debate economics)
Well I'll let you take the lead, my dear
(And I'll nod at the right times)
In a valient effort to appear
(Like a know of of the lines)
As long as I keep you in the dark
My alibis they won't fall apart
As long as you don't know the subject
my empty words will surely impress
But as soon as you question me at all
You will find out that I am a fraud
And I won't know how
How to do anything but crumble
Lying to save face
It Leads me to a dark and empty place
Can't see the light, can't see the light
Breaking every rule
I'll only speak in soundbytes
and I hope to keep you fooled
As long as I keep you in the dark...

Jack Davy Bristol, UK
Following a severe pre-mid-life crisis while working in office administration, aspiring songwriter Jack Davy decided it was
time to actually write some songs.
Hunched at a table in his living room, the Bristol based songwriter attempts to convey his deepest primal feelings: paranoia, anger, lust, guilt, through the medium of catchy Alternative-Rock.
He very much hopes you enjoy it.
