Lost in the Haze EP

Lost in the haze, a fantastic day to forget, the greatest memories blur, but it’s just the knowing, no worries on the phone, this was a good one, woken in vomit and pissed the bed, try to blame her but she wasn’t there, time to get up and do it again, it’s Sunday after all, get there for opening time at 11, not eaten since Friday, have a wee wretch after a couple of sips, a packet of crisps and get on the nips, work’s a whole day away, having a laugh with the lads, lost in the haze again, can barely stand to play pool, Super Sunday football & a few quid on the horses, kaleidoscope eyes try hard to focus, the sensible ones head to the chipper, home to the wife & kids, I'll resent them for a while, I've got drinks in the tap though, welcome the next wave, the later drinker, they take the piss about the state I was in, laugh it off, it’s only banter, which day was that? Spanish football’s on now, jukebox is playing loud singalongs, got to stay out til closing time, or Monday comes, and work and all the travails, get a taxi to the casino, why fucking not? he’s just onshore, been away 3 weeks, it's good to catch up, delay sleep for a while yet, barely allowed in, throw some chips on the roulette and then head to the baker, everything’s so fresh at half 4, wash the grease down with lucozade, hold in the spew in the taxi, let it all out at the back door, crawl inside & curl up on the cold bathroom floor, woken by a ringtone, please stop vibrating, the fear's hit but try not to care yet, back to sleep, lost in the haze a fantastic day to forget

(Please don't hurt me no more) You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me I deserve it All the bruises I hide The scars to my legs The belt buckle to the back of the head Burns with the iron, a searing hot pan I deserve it (Please don't hurt me no more) You belong to me You belong to me You belong to me I deserve it All the bruises I hide The scars are marks of pride Mould me into the person you need me to be Mould me into the person you need me to be I deserve it, I deserve every second of it Mould me into the person you need me to be Mould me into the person you need me to be I deserve it, I deserve every second of it I deserve it

Will you leave a letter? Thought about who you leave behind? How long have you felt this way? You should talk to a doctor Maybe they could help Some pills, counselling I wish I knew what to say Can't think of a time without you around What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for the disappearing? Those fragile, broken minds don't heal Those fragile, broken minds don't heal Ah, just want to leave ye know? Forget about everything It's not really running away It's seizing the day Hear the inner voices They talk with clarity A resolution The disappearing What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for the disappearing? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for the disappearing? Those fragile, broken minds don't heal It's a resolution Finally some clarity The disappearing It's a resolution Those fragile, broken minds don't heal (Disappearing) Those fragile, broken minds don't heal (Disappearing) Those fragile, broken minds don't heal (It's a resolution)

I sing along with the birds now, sitting outside in the garden square The people round here are friendly enough, they fill me with pills so I don't notice they're all crazy They found me up in an old hut on the mountain, and it was on fire They talk these wild stories about me, there's one guy, he's very serious, he wears glasses, he sits in a room with a load of old books behind him Keeps writing things down when I tell him what the birds say, I think he's delusional so they ask me to help him He wonders what, they talk about, he can't even hear them Just, how crazy, is he? The lady that gives me the pills, says she can't hear them either But I caught her whistling along one day, I gave her a wink and now she knows that I know she's not crazy I only take half of the pills, been saving them up for John down the hall He said he needs, quite a lot, big plans for the end of the month I like to help people out when I can and they don't, work for me anyway To sing with the birds I just need to get a little closer So I'm going to fly, from here to there across, the, square I sing along with the birds now, lying outside on the garden square

about

Sometimes there's a world of weirdness floating around the mind when trying to sleep... here's a 4 song departure from Oh! Paulo. From the darker recesses of the psyche, difficult to write, difficult to record, probably uncomfortable to listen to - get Lost in the Haze.
