Here in my little town It's burning down, it's burning down. Here in my little nest I shut out the rest cos it's such a bloody mess. We're all lost in the miracle Cos everyones so cynical And that's just the way it is Yeah that's just the way it is. A little positivity never hurt anyone but me And maybe thats where I've gone wrong We're always fighting the times Cos the times always fighting us Cos we are the women (We are the women and we'll keep on singin') We know it's all getting better Yeah changes they come like the weather But it couldn't get much worse And that is our curse. I'm fighting my way through the prickles Tearing through my skin it tickles And baby I'm stuck in a pickle. We're always fighting the times Cos the times always fighting us Cos we are the women (We are the women and we'll keep on singin')

Sugar 03:39
I'm hiding out cos I need time, time to feel As I pass each hour, the flavours sour and the cut wont heal 'Cos home is where the heart is, and family's where your past is and you are where my future meets my present and I know I'm running out of options as the candy promise fades and whets the blade. So I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try myself to sleep Yeah I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try but I'm running out of sheep Sugar Sugar And I don't need anyone to say they're sorry and I don't need you to explain And I don't want you to be different But I don't want to run away this time I'm losing my will. This bitter pill. Can't get my fill. It gives me a rush, so sweet the touch. I need too much. So I'm wasting yeah I'm wasting oh I'm wasting all my time Cos we're never gonna get it, Yeah I've learned that much through time Sugar Sugar And I don't need anyone to say they're sorry and I don't need you to explain And I don't want to be difficult But I need you to go.

Shame 03:12
You deserve so much better I know that's a cliche Now I've got a boat ticket I'll let the tide take me away. But if i could change my reflection Who would I see in the mirror? Maybe change direction, Go back home don't give up Cos everybody's hiding from the future And everybody's hoping that there's something better Now I'm on my knees to pray Cos something's got to change And while we're all looking for somebody other to blame I feel shame shame shame. (Tell mey how you feel, cos all I feel is pain Tell me how you feel cos all I feel is shame) I'm looking pasty Cos I've been getting so wasted We we're so happy Now it's just misery So I'll dim the lights and I'll go outside and I'll drown myself until tomorrow Until tomorrow Cos everybody's hiding from the future And everybody's hoping that there's something better Now I'm on my knees to pray Cos something's got to change And while we're all looking for somebody other to blame I feel shame shame shame. (Tell mey how you feel, cos all I feel is pain Tell me how you feel cos all I feel is shame) I feel shame shame shame.

Take me with you on the rise Taste the disappointment in your eyes Leave me behind you when you fall Did you really think you could have it all? Always wanting more Someones keeping score If you had the courage to just wait Muster the courage to step through that gate Follow the tapestry unwind Cold blood, warm hearts and time time time Always wanting more Someones keeping score

Staying Home 03:14
I'm ready to sell my soul to take this pain away I'm drowning in this hole I'm staying home today I medicate myself cos the drugs don't get in deep Pick something off the shelf and drink myself to sleep Oh Will I ever be the same again? I'm in a human cell behind a cheerful mask I'm crumbling like a shell I'm hoping you don't ask I used to have it all I used to be so free now I just live through old memories Oh Will I ever be the same? Oh Will I ever be the same again? Oh Will I ever be the same? Oh Will I ever be the same again? I'm ready to sell my soul to take this pain away I'm drowning in this hole I'm staying home today

Potential 03:37
Theres a new sensation in my bones. I can't feel my fingers or my toes. I've got to realise my potential Realise my potential I lost my spirit but i'm searching hard and long. I got some pills just incase i got it wrong. I've gotta realise my potential I've been trying but it makes no sense at all to me Hey ok I needed that cos we fucked it up together and it aint that bad Hey ok I need a break cos the pressure is excessive and I'm falling apart This time is mine to waste This time is mine to waste Who even am I now and who the hell are you? who even cares what i say or do? I've got to realise my potential Realise my potential i got a theory that I'm starting to obey I didn't choose all this and I'm not gonna pay I've got to realise my potential I've been trying but it makes no sense at all to me Hey ok I needed that cos we fucked it up together and it aint that bad Hey ok I need a break cos the pressure is excessive and I'm falling apart This time is mine to waste This time is mine to waste Hey ok I needed that cos we fucked it up together and it aint that bad Hey ok I need a break cos the pressure is excessive and I'm falling apart This time is mine to waste This time is mine to waste This time is mine to waste This time is mine to waste mine mine mine to waste mine mine mine to waste mine mine mine to waste mine mine mine to waste etc

Dopamine 03:26
Everyone knows that I've been so low on dopamine It doesn't take much to see I depend on amphetamines Now weird shit is happening every night in my dreams I'm stuck in my mind and I just wanna break free But I don't want to make a scene Oh no I think i'm losing my grip on reality I'm so confused I'm losing my sense of personality It's hard to admit that I've been so scared of everything I cant go out and I can't stay in its killing me Now I'm losing sleep about losing all my dignity I'm stuck in my mind and I just want to break free But I don't want to make a scene Oh no I think i'm losing my grip on reality I'm so confused I'm losing my sense of personality

Too Late 03:05
You're a little too late Did you think I would wait until you left her Now I've felt love and I've felt heart ache and I'm a little jaded But I'm too tired and I'm too cold and I've been torn and I'm too old to play your game again to play your game again I would have loved you forever I would have loved you like she never ever could I would have loved you like a teenager Like a dog loves his owner, only more And I remember that look in your eye and all the weeks that I cried almost like someone had died Well maybe it was me a little maybe it was you so small baby it was us for sure
