scared

come july
how'd it happen?
take your time
see what's out there
for a while
imagination
look inside
pretend to like it
and all you need
is all you need
tell a lie
keep up from downstream
stay inside
hope for a landslide
and find some meaning
now you're scared there's something out there
coming for you.

anything
04:35
|
|||
as you find yourself
scrolling through time
floating softly on
pieces of better lives
play a song for yourself
keep it inside
write below
how much you wanna die
i thought
i could break out
i thought
if i could just try harder i
could be anything at all.

hollow
04:08

seething
frozen still
with your sleeves rolled back
take on
when you feel left out
holding still
a stone in your heart
so long
with your hand on my back
will you let light in?
thin ice
on a hollow frame
lift you up
i'm falling like rain
mirror
how deep are your lies
will my teeth fall out
someday
i have no doubt
speak too soon
i'm fleeing again
so long
this place that we know
did it feel so long
cold grip
and your favourite song
we came so close
but i'm not coming back.

untied
03:06
|
|||
floating down the creek
lying about
where your disposition hides
(maybe i'll float away this time)
hold fast as the notion takes your eye
(will this one be who you'd rather be?)
took a turn just to fuck you out and thought
of all the places you'd rather be
(it helps to close your eyes)
woke up with your hands untied and thought
i hope my wits don't fail me now
(for once she'd like to know)
just for once she's like to know.

drown
04:00
|
|||
lay down
easy
breathe out
breathe in
don't lean on me
i'll only let you down
take up my place
while i'm fading away
when will we see
how much this could take
when will you know
you are all there is
but we all fell down
tumbled in and drowned
tangled up and bound
while we all wait around
(you had it all
what good is all
we had it all
and still we fall)
we all fell down
tumbled in and drowned
tangled up and bound

perfect
04:12
|
|||
deep treading water
in cortisol, wine
make a note of my failures
to help pass the time
wait 2 more weeks
and i'll be alright
i might put my head under now
if you don't mind
take a picture of
all of the things that i own
starving myself
til i look good in my clothes
pretend long enough
and i'll fall asleep
pretend long enough
will i get what i need
a mark on my calendar
broke by design
push it away until
some other time
come up for air
lift my head off the floor
i swear i'll be perfect
from here ever more

hope
04:20
|
|||
i hope no-one ever treats you
the way you treat yourself
i hope no-one ever sees you
the way you see yourself
i hope no-one every speaks to you
the way you speak to yourself
i hope no-one ever treats you
the way you treat yourself
|

everything
04:22
|
|||
all alone
where you can see your real self
paranoid
when you see someone else
change your mind
from looking out the window
change your name
every time the wind blows
but everything
isn't anything
leave yourself
go on
everything
isn't anything
soon enough
but long enough that you forgot
keeping up
matters less when you are gone
if you made it in
you're halfway to the real thing
read about
the things that you can't live without
i just can't fight it off anymore.
