Verse 1: I might love you But that don’t mean you can walk right over me And I might feel you But honey I’ll still leave you be And I might dig you yeah There ain’t no need to disrespect And I might want to But I ain’t tethered to you yet Chorus: What? You think I’m sticking around? Hey! Can you pick up what I’m laying down? Fool me twice is it shame on me? No! Shame on you! Verse 2: Said you hate silence Well baby whatcha calling this? Don’t want no man child, no! You be Sir, I’m Little Miss Chorus: What? You think I’m sticking around? Hey! Can you pick up what I’m laying down? Fool me twice is it shame on me? What? You think I’m sticking around? Hey! Can you pick up what I’m laying down? Fool me twice is it shame on me? No! Shame on you! Bridge: Push my face in the dirt I will rise again Feel the pain and the hurt but I fly again Never give in, I'm here to try get to the end In this game of life, so I came to win You know what man? Fuck it let the games begin I'm in a world where peace doesn't seem to exist Just war upon each other poor and the rich We all bleed the same colour so whose war is this? Fall in the abyss or brawl until the finish Get trawled or crawl, stand tall as the victorious winner Haul out the competition, solidify your position, never quit It's time to rock much harder than before Harder than the floor your face planted in the the hall Harder than the ball that hit you in the balls Farandicus and Blaksawd kicking in ya door Chorus x4

Verse 1: Stay, where you going? Another day we should be loving Too many ways to entertain No use Stay, you’re always going A different way and getting nothing Too many ways for losing faith Slow bruise Chorus: Let me spin and you’ll begin to hear the truth But don’t move, 'cause we all lose Time and time I try to carry your reproof It’s a cold truth Throwaway youth, throwaway youth Verse 2: Stay, you’re no showing Don’t contemplate, you’re all knowing Too many ways for losing faith No use Chorus Bridge: Look up! See your life In high definition Recondition Chorus: Times I tried to carry your reproof It’s a cold truth We all lose yeah I tried to give you the truth Don’t move, don’t move Time and time I tried to carry your reproof Well it’s your move Throwaway youth, throwaway youth

Crosses 04:11
Chorus: Take a second turn and walk away I can’t believe I stood and looked but had no words to say Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless Stare at the mirror, see a stranger where my face should be I don’t recall the moment life reclaimed my empathy Everyday we think about the moments when life felt hopeless Verse 1: Haze of a memory Try to grasp but it’s always just out of reach Escapes like water in our hands Who are we? Echoing loud and clear All the voices, you’ve locked away in here Divert and slow the flow, the flow from the weir Disappear Chorus: Take a second turn and walk away I can’t believe I stood and looked but had no words to say Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless Stare at the mirror, see a stranger where my face should be I don’t recall the moment life reclaimed my empathy Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless Yeah life is hopeless Verse 2 You can run but you won't break through, the Tangled web of a misspent youth, and No one else can help you to choose, to Navigate your way to the truth Rain cries down and washes clean the dust that whispered censure The tired wings of a bird in a storm, can’t Let it in or he’ll lose it all, an Avalanche hitting everyday, if we Stay and fight will we walk away On it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes Leaving crosses in our minds Verse 3: And I wish I could see it all differently Glimpse the world through the eyes of a child 'Cos it would look beautiful and everyday a new miracle My heart sing a sweet refrain with love residing there again Chorus: Stare at the mirror, see a stranger where my face should be I don’t recall the moment life reclaimed my empathy Everyday we hear about the moments when life was hopeless But life’s not hopeless

Yeah, and what’s your number? C’mon now, what’s your name? And what’s your number? Every time I wander in they’re askin’ me for all I got And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give? Every time I wander in they’re beggin’ me for all I got And every time I’m wonderin’ what to give? So what’s your name? Yeah, and what’s your number? C’mon now, what’s your name? And what’s your number? Part 2 Verse: Tell me what to give? Should I reveal my hand to you? Or bluff my worth time and again?

Verse 1: We began just like a movie That neither of us have ever seen Your beautiful melody moved me, your song I wanted to sing I never understood why you were down And why I stayed around But to the heavens I look up and smile 'Cos you never left town Am I the only one girl? Seems like a stupid question Sometimes I'm insecure You're a blessing and you're so precious You came to me when I was rolling outta control just like a boulder aye Until I felt an angel's hand touching my shoulder People be giving me evils But I just let it ride Telling you girl he's a demon You see my truth inside I know I'm lucky to find you is something that not many people can have My vulnerabilities literally killing me 'cos I'm a selfish man Guess I should chill out Trust you don't ill out It's you and I My mind is overcrowded With voices I hear inside Just stick by my side and I Will promise to do my best Girl, i'd be beside myself if you ever left Chorus: Moving through my veins Deadly slow Consume me I breathe to know That I'm the only one Say I'm the only one Verse 2: I do everything I can But you don't appreciate it, man I'd run all across this land shouting out that you are the greatest My patience wearing thin, waoh where should I begin, waoh Why should I come home to this and be treated like shit when I'm a king? Girl, get yourself together Lets make our bond much better Enough is enough so stop being so rough and tough like leather Competitors there are none compared to us, we are one These arguments are nonsense Why don't we have some fun Come along for the journey I want you next to me Your attitude needs tuning I'm trying to make you my queen All of these jealous questions Yet I've done nothing wrong My only crimes progression elevating closer to god Open your eyes and focus Maybe your eyes are broken I'm waking up next to you Somehow it goes unnoticed You're checking me asking me constantly baby please tell me am I the one? If you dont believe me then baby We are done Chorus: Moving through your veins Deadly slow Consume ya You need to know That you're the only one That you're the only one Bridge: And I'm pleading now I can't reason out, no There ain't no way to be free 'Cos all I need Breakdown: Am I the only one? Girl, am I the only one? I need you to tell me right now Am I the only one? Am I the only one? Girl, am I the only one? I need you to tell me right now Am I the only one? Chorus: Moving through my veins Deadly slow Consume me I breathe to know That I'm the only one

Verse 1: You were there To mend these broken wings with love I’d Never had, never had, never had And when I fell You found a perfect jar to keep me Close to you, close to you, close to you Verse 2: I didn’t even notice I was missing For your love, for your love, for your love My fortitude laid bare at your feet You were God, you were God, you were God Pre-Chorus: You need a woman in hand to make you a man You were under my skin Chorus: I’d rather be lonely Than be with a man like you I’d rather be lonely Than be with a man like you Verse 3: Cloaked in deceit A breathing secret underneath Choking on lies But no one knows, no one knows Bridge: I’d rather be without you, I’d rather be without you I’d rather be without you Now I come back to an empty home, but I’d rather be without you, I’d rather be without you I lie awake cold and alone, but I’d rather be without you But I’ll still be without you Chorus: I’d rather be lonely Than be with a man like you I’d rather be lonely You were God, you were God, you were God Pre-Chorus: You need a woman in hand to make you a man Take me apart Tattoo my heart You were under my skin Chorus: I’d rather be lonely Than be with a man like you I’d rather be lonely Than be with a man like you But I’ll still be without you

Verse 1: Trouble out of nothing Feel I'm going under Dogged by the memories Drowning Weakened with feelings What’s the use fighting? Blinded by the darkness Drowning me Pre-chorus: Baptise me In the flood now But it don’t wash me clean It’s just pulling me on Fading out Need a miracle Where is the magic man? There ain’t no road gonna take me home Chorus: Pieces on the ground My autumn leaves Surrounding me Keep a candle burning for when I make it back If I make it back Verse 2: Sing for salvation To an empty room Tongue a poison arrow Failing Passing as a shadow Drift along four walls Soothing and familiar Failing now Pre-chorus Instrumental Chorus Verse 3: Trouble out of nothing Slowly going under Dogged by the memories Drowning Passing as a shadow Drift along four walls Soothing and familiar Failing now Pre-chorus x2 Ending: Take me home Take me home

Verse 1: One two three If I open my Eyes I'll be Back inside your room All I know Is my happiness Is there behind your locked door And I can't get in anymore Your words caressed me but now this Chorus: It doesn't make sense! No, no It doesn't make sense! But before I go Just tell me is there anything about us you really feel And did you think it fair to treat me like this? Say it's not really done Babe Verse 2: "I won't go" That's what you told me Just before I shared my heart now All I know Is my happiness Is there behind your cold stare Hide behind the manager Your words caressed me but now this Chorus Bridge: You turned me inside out I'm walking the line Tell me what it's about Don't leave me paralysed Chorus x2

Verse 1: I’ve been looking For a little place to hide And I’ve been running But I’m slowing down all the time Am I crazy? People say I’m doing it all wrong Am I crazy? No, no! Never feel like I belong Chorus: Why I gotta do that, say that, be that Just so I can fit with you? (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) Why I gotta do that, say that, be that Just so I can fit with you? (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) x2 Verse 2: You think I’m failing 'Cos I’m living in this house alone Well I got sweet music and my family So I’m never really on my own Chorus: Why I gotta do that, say that, be that Just so I can fit with you? (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) Why I gotta do that, say that, be that, feel that Just so I can fit with you? So I can fit like you My wings may be wax, but I ain’t never comin’ back Bridge: So many people just don’t understand I don’t wanna have kids Don’t wanna find me a man And no, I don’t own the house where I live I’m renting a flat There’s no sexy in that I’m not drinking, I’m not out thinking ‘Oh I gotta score My esteem is sinking’ I’m never gonna be What I think you want from me Who the hell are you?! I’m not tall, I’m not thin I’m messed up in the head There’s days when I can't even get outta bed And no I don’t have a ton of degrees I got no profession That’s not my obsession Am I losing, 'cos I keep choosing Happiness first Why’s that so confusing? I get shit pay, but at the end of the day I like the job that I do Can the same be said for you? You say “Who the hell are you? Jibe’s what you gotta do!” I wanna be free! Chorus: Why I gotta do that, say that, be that, so I can Fit with you? (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) Why I gotta do that, say that, be that Just so I can fit with you? (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) So I can fit like you (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back) So I can be like you (Girl your wings are made of wax, better come on back)

Gospel Mouth 03:19
Verse 1: I was tired Weight of the world upon me Shrouded in darkness Just sorrow and pain for company Now I’ve been saved Feel the healing hand upon me I was blinded, blinded But now these hopeful eyes can see Verse 2: Picked me up, Breathed the blessed life in me Gave me comfort Gave me a reason to sing Now I got faith Bathed in the glory I felt forgiveness I felt the healing hand upon me Chorus: You got religion But I got soul I got soul! Bridge: Now I’ve been saved Feel the healing hand upon me Bathed in the glory Gave me a reason to sing Now I’ve been saved Feel the healing hand upon me Bathed in the glory Gave me a reason to sing Chorus: You got religion But I got soul I got soul!

about

The making of “It Doesn’t Make Sense” was a labour of love for Farandicus over several years. Lead vocalist Nicola Probert says, “the songs on this album are our autobiographical creations that we're so proud of and love. We nurtured them from their first days as a melody, lyric, riff, or theme through early development into roughly recorded demos. Now they're riding their two-wheeler all on their own!”

“It Doesn’t Make Sense” features Nicola Probert’s heart-on-sleeve lyrics and impassioned vocals ably supported by Ben Michelsen (drums), Matthew Shepherd (bass, backing vocal), Andrew Easterbrook (piano), Rhys Farrand (guitar), and Sharmel Cook (backing vocal). The album is a culmination of varied musical backgrounds and personalities; “It Doesn’t Make Sense” but somehow it worked!
