What Have I Become?
02:36
|

make a list of my good traits and not a list does an empty page make
why do i seem to hurt those that i want to spend my time with
what have i become?
what have i done?
what have i become?
deep space mess continued test choking and falling place head in press
cut your gems disconnect brain stems if you recall you have no friends
the taste is bitter and can be transmitted
repeating your own lies youre still not with it
what have i become?
what have i done?
what have i done?

Outcast
03:30
|

one lifetime seized another breathes
one year is frozen beneath my tears
all that matters is that i fear
a return to the past please dont come near
the mistakes i make, they really last
outcast
outcast
oh im like you
oh im like you
oh im like you
every single person in my head is a shadow and a shell
of the humans that existed and are destined for heaven and for hell
the people that we meet and who we like but we just cant tell
will they hurt us or lie to us and how much will we be under their spell
and picture im a guy who doesn't have a whole lot of prospects
but you can see the suns coming up and ive got another chance at it

and ill remind myself to be a lesser piece of mystery
forever
and if you choose a different path i will learn to just walk past
forever
but, i dont wanna make music
i dont really wanna write
i dont wanna make music
i dont wanna write
i cant seem to stop this play my mind would wish would always play
dont remember
the times i find it hard to write are the times i really like
ill remember
i dont wanna make music
i dont really wanna write
i dont wanna make music
i dont really wanna write

And Then You
01:17
|

time flies
time flies and then you die
and rhymes
determining the end of the line
and its fine
its fine its fine its fine, oh maybe im not fine
its ok
its ok its ok its ok, oh maybe im not ok

Tidy and Presentable
01:47
|

look at me with my acoustic guitar
my beard my beanie and my shirt buttons done up high
stand in line
the plastic fractures and falters
i see through the facade and all i see is dullness
stand in line
dont realities mean to receed
oh banalaties a trip of your heel
the futures looking grim and i wouldnt sin
but the middle class ignorance whats the fuss
keep it tidy and presentable cause its all about the looks
when you say that you like a song
is it the lyrics or the image or the people that say its good
is that fine?
you want to see a fantasy world
you need ----- unintelligible

do your traits match my desires
if not then move on, youre not the one
i cant i cant i cant see
thats not thats not thats not me
a second time and its just right
my futures in the spotlight
to feel liked for just one night
i walk around in moonlight
who is it that i wanted to be?

28

|

one day youll be 28 and your party's gonna be athleisure
5 days and we'll be going away we're going to denver lets call it a ski trip
i really like you
sometimes ill cry its true
but when i wake up
oh i just cant believe that we're in love
6 months and we'll move in together
it could be forever, id like
50 years and we'll look back to today
and we'll think that we made this a life well spent
i really like you
its hard the things that we've been through
if i stop in the street its cause
i just cant believe that we're in love
take my hand
and we'll make plans
to take our minds
through different times
i hope that you think im enough
i really want you to feel my love
|

if i know its gonna cause a fight then why do i bother
if im hurt and im weak and may be i am a bad lover
do i really know if im right if i can never show myself
reveal my wrongs, reveal my time, my life
whats going on?
inside of your head what is wrong
you're moving on
those thoughts in your head will be gone
ill fight these well worn paths
this mind is an outdated map
if i breathe in time with you will we become closer together
and if so then will my eyes turn brown
i look down and see i have a nose ring
if i could view the world as you then i would find that crucial context
im just me and you're just you
we've lived our lives and are now together
whats going on?
inside of your head what is wrong
you're moving on
those thoughts in your head will be gone

Buy That TV
03:00

Rachel was very keen on one of those new 4k LED television screens, but I wasn't sure.
I didn't want a big, dark rectangle to become the center of the living room,
where all of the furniture and faces would be angled toward
Like the way the light side of the moon follows the rotation of the Earth.
However, upon entering the TV section of the local electrical retail store, I fell into another world.
I was in a jungle, surrounded by the sounds of lemurs and macaws
and I felt heat and humidity on my skin and pores.
I looked up to see the sun's rays fighting their way through the canopy and casting beautiful,
mottled patterns onto the leaves and roots on the forest floor.
Between the trees in front of me, something started to change.
I could see space stretching sideways and time fall away
A horrifying noise like a torrential downpour started to hurt my ears and I instinctively covered them with my hands and shut my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, everything was dark and glossy.
Jeremy Clarkson said "Welcome back, Jody is on £64,000 and has two lifelines remaining."
"Can I help you?" A salesperson stood to my left.
"Oh, no thank you. I'm just browsing," I said.
I thought of the macaws.
"But actually, wait, I think I would actually like to buy one of these, how much are they?"

this makes sense but it still doesnt feel right
i wonder what new coincidences might uncover now
ive discovered how i want to be forever
you've been talking to yourself out loud again
ive been trying ever so hard not to listen
but then youve found a place you want to live forever
its gonna be a long night tonight
it'll be a strange day tomorrow
it'll be a long night tonight
it'll be a strange day tomorrow
you fell back and i fell back as well
i stumbled into something unexpected i could hardly tell
ive lost the faith i thought id hold forever
its gonna be a long night tonight
it'll be a strange day tomorrow
it'll be a long night tonight
it'll be a strange day tomorrow

just take one step at a time, youre breaking your heart right from mine
a big change from making plans, ill cover my eyes with my hands
if im forced to live without doubt ill turn myself inside out
we all stand facing our wall for some its one and some its all
what do i make her
what does it to take to
fabricate a world in which a million questions battle me
hit rock bottom
televised problems
tell us to believe in things we really thing are obvious

What Will I Become?

i should write you a letter
so we both can remember
what its like to be together
and to feel its always forever
i can still feel you near me
if i sing loud enough will you hear me
all that i am is yours
my mood doesnt rain it pours
though ive got my own compulsions
im trying to move myself forwards
weve both got work to do
until we turn into
perfect minds intertwined all good feelings all our lives
perfect minds intertwined all good feelings all our lives
