[vocalisations]

Cool and calm and collect

Carry on as we rise from the wreck

It's cool and calm and collect

Long John river[?] has a pole vault fence

Live and direct [?]

Never show your devils respect

Never let them see you sweat

Back when I almost lost myself

That time I almost lost my head

The shadows ran across this bed

Close confidence it cost me, fled[?]

Everything [?]

That time I almost jumped in front of a train


[?]

If I die whose gonna live this life?

Calm down, step back, breathе in

Armadillo grow a brand new skin

Boat capsized [?] fins

I took my sorrow and I made a nеw hymn

Calm down, step back, breathe in

Armadillo grow a brand new skin

Boat capsized [?] fins

I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn

I took my sorrow and I made a new hymn

Cool and calm and collect

Carry on as we rise from the wreck

It's cool and calm and collect

Long John river[?] has a pole vault fence

Live and direct [?]

Never show your devils respect

Never let them see you sweat

I wear my pain as a jacket

I wear my pain as a jacket

I lean back never slouching

I lean back never slouching

[?] last ten pounds in the bank

[?] and my conversation frank

Stress go high like a tower

Grief go deep like a vein

A real smile is scarce like a tiger

Fakeness spread all around me

But I'm alive you see

I'm alive you see

I'm alive and for that I give thanks
