With all the lights off
Peoples faces change
The world is better at night
My pain isn’t worthy of being noticed
Its a waste of time
We couldn’t save each other
There was just a common understanding that we were drowning
I don’t know how to talk to people!
you say its hard being an artist, like you have any choice not to
I am nowhere, I am nowhere at all
I am nothing, I am nothing at all
This void isn’t one to share
But only you can make that call
Why is no-one listening to each other
I feel like no-ones even trying
To walk away from lying
I don’t have my own tribe
I feel like I won’t get one before I die.
I am nowhere, I am nowhere at all
I am nothing, I am nothing at all
This void isn’t one to share
But only you can make that call
make that call
make that call for me

Treading Water
04:11

Internalise and fantasise
Just make it through these shitty times
Try again and try again
The pain is better than failure
Help me, take me to the shore
I’m only treating water
One hand in front of the other
Kick as hard as you can
Constant dreams of catastrophe
You know better than me
The worlds gonna end
The gas from the sky stings the citizens eyes
You even know what scares me at night …..
Help me, take me to the shore
I’m only treating water
One hand in front of the other
Kick as hard as you can
I want you to know me
You’ll be the first to have that burden
You are safer than me
You are safer than me
You are safe far from me
Help me, take me to the shore
I’m only treating water
One hand in front of the other
Kick as hard as you can
as hard as you can
Ahhh ahh ahh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahh ahh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahh

Seaside Funerals
04:54

I feel basically the same
Not much has changed
I do this for myself
I do this for myself
They found bombs on the beach
And I found a brochure for seaside funerals
Oh help isn’t on the way
I missed my chance to book an appointment
Humans weren’t meant to live like this, we are meant to fruit off trees and hold each other
Are you smiling underneath your mask
Or is the blistering sun burning your eyes?
Are you alight?
To keep up your silent fight?
Why am I not happy at this point?
I thought stability came with age?
But my sad songs are the same
Oh help isn’t on the way
I missed my chance to book an appointment
So I’m alone in my room
My brain melting
Humans weren’t meant to live like this, we are meant to fruit off trees and hold each other
Are you smiling underneath your mask
Or is the blistering sun burning your eyes?
Are you alight?
To keep up your silent fight?
There’s no treasure here
I cry there’s no tears
You beg me to find motivation to get out of my room and bed

Waves of Pain II
03:50

Here comes the doubt, if I was gonna be successful it would’ve been by now.
I think the universe is trying to tell me something
Oh I hear the universe, trying to tell me something.
Glamorising sadness, is the only way we get through
Holding life will be better
Constantly hoping life will get better,
We’re not yet a hopeless case, good for nothing
I don’t fit in my own city,
no one knows me
Oh I’m fine I just wish somehow would ask if I’m ok...
Over time we are simply dust, and we float out of the coffin and up to the stars....
One of these days I’m never gonna come back....
One of these days....

One day black earth under our feet will be it,
This planet is fragile like porcelain
Who the hell is gonna fix this?
We need gas energy
as much as the ocean needs oil spills
Da da da da
Who the hell is gonna change this?

Young Love
03:26

On the train, I promise I won’t bother you again.
My mood is maladjusted
It hurts to be self aware
Because I don’t like my discoveries
My pain is only interesting the first time
But you can show me home
Oh my human, desire for home
Bring me Back to your cobwebbed room
I imagine you there sitting peacefully
How long till I fit in? .. not sure I want to
As long as I got you
His face turns bright red but it’s not at all cute, like when you do it
I hate seeing these boneheads here for the wrong reasons
Egotistical boys with guitars
They have no self reflection
For gods sake
Turn yourself down
Your jokes are only funny the first time
Please show me home
Oh my human, desire for home
Bring me Back to your cobwebbed room
I imagine you there sitting peacefully
How long till I fit in? .. not sure I want to ,
As long as I got you
I got you

Introspective Villain
03:42
|

|
Fresh new problems flood my screen, pining for fame,
I won’t be satisfied until I choose to be,
My addictions jump from one thing to another.
None of this matters in the long run,
What can I do that hasn’t been done?
After life, wherever we go,
I know you will wait for me
And that’s all that matters
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
I feel like I have chronic fatigue
My mind is my greatest enemy
And my cruellest weapon
How could anyone not be exhausted?
We are constantly overstimulated herd creatures
With unnaturally large communities
I am just content sitting shoulder to shoulder on my bed with you
None of this matters in the long run,
What can I do that hasn’t been done?
After life, wherever we go,
I know you will wait for me
And that’s all that matters
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
I’m running out of ways to say how I feel
I will always think of you fondly, and answer your calls
But I’m a pessimist and nihilistic
None of this matters in the long run,
None of this matters

Monochrome
03:11

I’m becoming nocturnal
And having breakfast at midnight
And I’m seeing everything in monochrome
Will everything be alright?
Will everything be alright?
Even if I can’t handle alone at night
I’m chasing the rainbows
And I’m desperate for meaning
Oh and I travel my hometown to find a kind face to call my own
Oh the family I buried before they were dead
And there’s monsters in my closet, I couldn’t be bothered to confront
Oh if I see you
Will you say how far I’ve come?
Cause I wanna see you too, I just need to know its reciprocated
I’m chasing the rainbows
And I’m desperate for meaning
Oh I’m travelling my hometown, to find a kind face to call my own
But I’m scared and fickle
There’s no use for pain anymore, I’ve learnt all the lessons it could possibly teach me

Dreams of Nothing
04:25
|
|||
|
Images of a past life, they haunt me even when I’m not in strife
I collect the memories in my nostalgia jar that’s been there my whole life
I try to breathe but my lungs fail and I am here again
My nightmares so odd I just have to laugh
And my limbs shake, cause I’m afraid of heights
So I am here again
At your timber door, for comfort
Oh goddess of love don’t leave me now,
Im thrown up into a sitting poison, in the middle of an epiphany
We all know where we go in our sleep/death, but no-one cares to admit it
No cares
I try to breathe but my lungs fail and I am here again
My nightmares so odd I just have to laugh
And my limbs shake, cause I’m afraid of heights
So I am here again
At your timber door, for comfort
Nothing at all
You dream of nothing at all
Nothing at all
You dream of nothing at all
