I Have No Rhythm (Demo)

I have no drive
And I’m like many,
not sure where I belong in this realm, tongue-tied
at simple occasions
Just fingers on glass screens
I wonder if we'll ever go back to being fully seen
I have no rhythm,
We exist, for no reason
So why not, just chase joy and love
And cling to, them like a glove
No rhythm
I have no rhythm
Of course, it's my prerogative if I wanna stay in bed all day,
still at some point, in the mirror my hair is grey
I never truly smile till I’m not alone
We’re herd creatures with iPhones
I have no rhythm,
We exist, for no reason
So why not, just chase joy and love
And cling to, them like a glove
No rhythm
I have no rhythm
I have no rhythm,
We exist, for no reason
So why not, just chase joy and love
And cling to, them like a glove
No rhythm
I have no rhythm

Peace of Mind

I don’t wanna feel my body
And my gut moving and failing
But I have to
Will my mind be this blurry for the rest of my life?
I get tests I don’t need
My head and hands are shaking
Even a human voice on the phone
Reminds me I’m not alone
As I try to attain some peace of mind
It kinda makes me wanna break things
The fact I didn’t need to stay in my room this year
Every day feels the same
I get tests I don’t need
My head and hands are shaking
Even a human voice on the phone
Reminds me I’m not alone
As I try to attain some peace of mind
Oooo
You’re fundamental to me
Who are without community
I have tests I don’t need
Head and hands are shaking
Even a human voice on the phone
Reminds me I’m not alone
As I try to attain some peace of mind
Peace of mind

We got back your ashes today,
Even though it's not real
My eyes never leave my phone,
The screen time limits aren’t stopping me.
And I wanna go to rollerblading
Or maybe walk into the ocean
Cause if we’re aren’t grieving, you aren’t gone
Oh my suburban screams
So sick of here
So sick of here
The bus drives by graveyards,
And I’m rarely surrounded by nature
Such an unnatural humanity
I have nothing to say
The world is refusing inevitable change
And I miss my dog,
Why do awful politicians get to keep living, and not
Someone who loved everyone from first glance?
It’s graduation and no one signed my jumper.
Yeah I’ve finished school, what does it even matter!
All I do is reflect on the carnage behind me
It's much less sombre to just sing other peoples songs
The writing on my page is weak and only learning to stand
Away from my hand
Oh my suburban screams
So sick of here
So sick of here
The bus drives by graveyards,
And I’m rarely surrounded by nature
I think I'm trying to fill a void
And we are gathering your toys….
You better be in the sky
Your atoms floating to the galaxies
Your existence isn’t fully gone, boy
You better be in the sky
You better be in the sky

The party has only been going on for an hour and I’m already gone
and you couldn’t even pay me to write a happy song
Between a rock and a hard place, I have to Admit I have no grace
Its so hard to ay I have no control
Im on a floating planet, thank god we don’t all just fall
Be here now, be here now
Its embarrassing how much I need you
If I stay, will everything getter better or worse the next day?
Most of the days
I’m not even awake for half of it
In the same position as always, I sit……
I have an individuality complex
What sad shit should I sing next?
Be here now, be here now
It’s embarrassing how much I need you
But I wouldn’t have it another way
If I stay, will everything getter better or worse the next day
I don’t believe in the holy
Or transcendence
We have much less power than we care to admit
And I try to hold mine as hard as I can
But it falls out of my hands and splashes on the floor
I’m looking for excuses to not go outside
I’m looking for excuses to not wanna cry
Oh I’m looking for excuses to not go outside
And Im looking for excuses to wanna live my life

You make everything alright
Your gentle footsteps at night
The world is new through your eyes
And every day has a first
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl

Everything's Beautiful

It’s not toxic positivity, I believe everything will be fine
Most people don’t want the world to die
And believe we deserve to be equal
Even hundreds of years ago
We loved our pets enough to give them portraits in our house
And we wrote love songs.
Everything’s beautiful and worth fighting for
Everything beautiful or not fully gone
My best cure for existential anxiety has always been my family,
I’m grateful to be at a tipping point of technology and beauty.
So at least I can try to help
Us all to be more green, for best
we forget we're lucky to be born at all,
Thanks to life’s constant tests
Everything, Everything’s beautiful and worth fighting for
Everything beautiful or not yet fully gone
Everything’s beautiful and worth fighting for
Everything’s beautiful and not over
Everything’s beautiful

I don't know at all
What to do with my minuscule existence
So why not just keep making music
It gives me the pleasing brain chemicals
That I’m very familiar with chasing
The birds are singing in the trees.
Art is everywhere
Even if it may have no intrinsic value
But joy and a temporary distraction
We capitalise on our deepest passions
Blurring the line
What effect can I have?
We just gallivant, looking for pleasure.
And try to avoid the echo chambers.
When will my life change for the better?
Rotting in my room, I never got to be 18
the birds are singing in the trees.
Art is everywhere
Even if it may have no intrinsic value
So I love you and
it’s all I can do
And I treasure our dying planet
But our costs haven’t sunk yet
Even my art has no value
At least I'm adored by you
