it only takes an hour to fall
but it takes a week to get up again
never presented an achievement award
always resented the lives that we look up to
this life belongs to
this mind belongs to
who do my thoughts belong to?
i can see a meteor
its a problem cause it hasn't burnt up yet
close my eyes and think good thoughts
how do i deal with it it just keeps happening
this town is running from
my friends are running from
we are all running from
you
if you can't see that, i can't stand the past
and what it means is to always make things last
how is it true that you loved those who arent like me
if it should be
hold me back
hold me back
ill be back
ill be back
so if you were never there
and even if you never cared
if only i could walk right by
those memories would not survive
i think that you have made mistakes
but i have also made mistakes
we seem to keep making mistakes
mistakes mistakes mistakes mistakes
mistakes mistakes mistakes mistakes
mistakes mistakes mistakes mistakes
mistakes mistakes mistakes mistakes

Wax Existential

with surreal direction, the event's spread to thousands
it's a curious addiction, overvaluing your thoughts
for one in a million, it seems to go away
i know there are hearts that couldn't take it
bottle your calm jump and you'll make it
reveal your scene, it has to be your own
the loudest drone, takes me an hour to get to
will things get any better, for those who separate right and wrong
this web stretches on forever, it's hard to see until your in it
i think i have been putting in the legwork
though i don't thing that i come across professional
how do i be me? i call it stressful
i really need to branch out from waxing existential
do i just need some time away?
i can't be around and not be ground down
energy is hard to fake
i can't realise that i need some time
i don't mean that i shouldn't try
cause i would try
oh am i alive?
am i even awake to see it all?
it hurts it hurts it never seems to work
there's no answer we could find
i point to nothing and say there it isn't
cause we all don't want to die
i don't wanna die
i don't wanna die
i don't wanna die
i don't wanna die
all things lie

Stupid Invention

in the aftermath
in the death of the early 20s
why were we so sad?
was it cause we are lazier than our relations
or cause we we're born at the start of the end of western civilisation
i don't think this thing's on, i'm shouting in a void
and in the end we're all just upset and annoyed
it's a little bit of a and b
it's a little bit of all we need
how can i explain what i mean?
if i can't even think to see
i wouldn't say i'm mad
i wouldn't say that i'm angry
did it make you laugh?
wait, can we just stop trying to get attention
you didn't talk about my new look, it's worth a mention
i don't think this thing works it's a stupid invention
or have i just ventured beyond a thing called comprehension
it's a little bit of a and b
it's a little bit of things we need
how can i explain what i mean?
if i can't even think to see
please excuse this complete degredation

take your last breath
make your last bed
enjoy the steps
endure the rest
remember the life you're living
and not the one inside
regrets can be an illness
and persist out of pride
everyday
there's a mountain to climb
i must become a witness
to the thoughts in my mind
everyday
i try to not capsize
we all have our demons
and only some we recognise
i wrote about it first
to simulate the worst
but things they find a way
to diverge from the page
i can't, i can't, i can't pin my life down
i can't, i can't, i can't pin my life down

in life, find a part to play
repeat, the lines you have to say
i dont, feel that's me
mindless, dissonance is free
how many wander?
whilst waiting for the next chapter to turn
make your futures me
is that, what we agreed
dont forget me, the futures bleak
my mind is weak, still makes time
take myself out, out of this town
to live with out, a real life
i realised
do you, believe love is real?
kindness, is most of what we steal
it was never really there
the people never care
the crosses that we bear
well there maybe times where i should be more kind
it really just feels we're meant to be mind
i cant put asides the feelings i find
the feelings that i find
it starts now remember, return to the centre
it starts now remember, return to the centre

What Means Something
03:54

time has gone, and all the answers with it
to where i'm from, the sound of my voice is different
all those years, where i felt like nothing
they gave me something
it could wait
i've got time to wait
to feel right in my place
is what im trying to make
do my dreams mean something?
i mean something

i can't ever really feel at home
i don't ever want to be alone
the past we keep hidden in our heads
the rights and wrongs and all of the regrets
painting colours onto my arm
playing ouija board with my mum
pick a pocket and make it count
revisioning the sermon on the mount
breaking promises with keener readers
pull a thread and see where it will lead us
place a parasol in my bed
collapsing pharmacies equals dread
sending my plans to my friends and they turn them all down
laying the ground for the hill I used to make a last stand
clasping my hands round the back of the frame of the bed like
i'll slip from the earth if I take them away
it's the headrush of hormones easing your pain
it's the 10 shots of morphine to take you away
it's the 6 pints of blood on your shirt and it stains
it's the 10 seconds of bliss when you’re up at the gates
put me through the ringer til I tied it in knots
size of the cock that I’m fucked with exponentially got
bigger than my heart until it hopefully stops
no use in hoping in a world with no gods
so take me from the mortal men as soon as you can
pull myself from earth in a soberful shot
closing the shop packing shit up in a cosying cot
mosying knots in my stomach till I work em all out
how to turn a man into a charity
how to turn a man into a charity
how to turn a man into a charity
how to turn a man into a charity
be right be right
be right for me be right for me
be right be right
feel right for me feel right for me

Square Peg

anyway my clothes have all worn thin
the other day my ceiling just caved in
it's a fear i have, i saw it on tv
the bbc say we have to watch our mpg
to keep things all the same
and all the things i am i'm gonna have to change
i used to be insane
i overheard a friend call me strange
everyone, please stop looking at me
i just can't work this goddamn machine
i'm a square peg, in an 8 meta flop virtual disk tray
and as a result, the world is going to make make me pay
i always feel the pain
there must be something tragic in my veins
i used to be ok
i really don't know what i'm supposed to say
take another hour another day another place to make it right
spin another web within your head enough said give up that fight
it's been to much, i can't make sense of it anymore
no-one talks my talk, my words don't sound like they did before
there's a problem with this world, and it's called everything
i can't even go outside any more,
there's a government mandate to ensure that we're bored
this poorly paying pension won't cover the pub quiz on thursdays
what a joke! even the things young people smoke are getting weirder
personally i blame it all on social media

St John's Dance

i woke and i knew what to think, somehow
and in the end it's obvious and turns a crowd
defined by the establishment as numbers not a sound
there's only one way out of here to bring the media down
whatever i am is whatever you want
to those who own the words we read, i hope you're scared
it won't be long before we work out how to make things fair
we'll break apart the pieces of this living nightmare
whatever i am is whatever you want
