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

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
6.
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 01:48
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

Breathe in Time (free) 02:31
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
12.
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

about

A few weeks ago for a thing called The Vine Awards, me and Alex Polise made this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_kt0FBGYR4

The ending scene with the egg looked so wonderful that I thought it would be funny for that to be an album cover. As the songs are either quite short or don't really repeat sections Single Use Stress Balls seemed appropriate, one song is over and then we're done with it.
