My press cant speak
They just lay down the meat
While hungry molars wait, watch and eat
I’m a prefect
I’m perfect
I lie to myself
I cant lie to myself
I cant lie by myself
I cant count on my health
Count the cards that I'm dealt
With my usual stealth
Ill enlighten myself
Would you call it living
After wading through again
So full of fear, and still living
In imaginary years
I’ve severed my ears
On top of the table while still young and able seldom gives scars so graceful
I wanna know
Where you think you'll go
Where you think you'll go
I’m a prefect
I’m perfect
I lie to myself
I cant lie to myself
I cant lie by myself
I can count on my health
Count the cards that I'm dealt
With my usual stealth
Ill enlighten myself
Could you call it living?
After wading through again
Can I call it living?
After waking to the scalpel piercing in
No one believes you
No one believes you baby
When you tell the truth
When you tell the truth
No one believes you
No one believes you baby
When you tell the truth
When you tell the truth
No one believes me
No one believes me baby
When I tell the truth
When I tell the truth
No one believes me
No one believes me baby
When I tell the truth
When I tell the truth

Look at the world in a spell
Do you ever feel so uncomfortably real
I look into those eyes and there’s something to steal
Ever had to fight for something to feel?
You've never had to fight for something to kill
It isn't real, but it seems
If I had all the answers I wouldn't dream
Ive never felt disaster like that second gin
Don't think anyones ever really let me in
Only for a moment
Touching skin
The patterns of the past you put me in
Thats the only fantasy I want to breathe
I don't think you're ever gonna let me leave
Time moves incredibly fast in the void
Moving, makeshift, destroyed
Get that hair up and find
Oh, that real love
I’m boiling out
Im washed in it all the time
I can’t find my mouth

Breathe

Will no-one try and save me
Will no-one try and save me
Dressed like this
Hips like these
Please
Eyes, my eyes, my eyes
I need them, to follow me, wherever I go
Every step I take, forever
Teeth, my teeth
Tease syllables, paragraphs, intervals
That haunt me
And hearing where my voice lies destroys me
Do you ever feel like laying your bones out on the cold bathroom tiles
Isn't it hard to sleep
With angels screaming
Their eyes snap right onto me
Crooked smiles
They want to put me in fire
Dry bones, vapour, ashes
They want to watch as I die
Chanting, vision dances
See colour bleed from my eyes
Within disturbing trances
I’m feeling weak and only Percocet will help me sleep
She takes you by the hand
You want to die again
Breathing like a man
Then just for a second
You figure it out
Floating from the ground
Its in the inflection, choking you out
What thin protection you have now
Your pretty projection, does not fuck around
The alienation
Has strangled you down

One Box of Matches

They have said, I’m a good, bag of blood
Only stabbing, around, in the mud
Oh give me more
I am realities whore
I only focus
Till I focus no more
Bolting down the street at midnight
Who will you fall victim to
Playing up the best angle
To anyone who worships you
This always takes, everyone away
These kind of things
Put butterflies on pins
Dig your talons in
Bolting down the street at midnight
Who will you fall victim to
Playing up the best angle
To anyone who worships you
One box of matches, one box of matches
One box of matches, one box of matches
One box of matches, one box of matches

Someone Else
02:55
|

I can see
Is it real?
Because everyone tells you how you feel
I can’t think
Only steal
I cannot figure out just how to
kneel, before, the wheel
It only takes some time to waste your life on anyone
It only seeks to find a ray of light in anyone
Is it the way you itch and tease your style
And everything about
Yourself
That you owe to everyone else
Ooo I’m twitching like a post breaching into treason
And talking back on my internal chatting sense of reason
Im, preaching
Into life again
It only takes some time to waste your life on anyone
You always seek to find your way around to everyone
Is it the way you itch and tease your style
and everything about, yourself
That you loathe in everyone else
It will take some time to rectify your situation
You can capture life like a polaroid in grim narration
Take a look at that old photograph in your pale hands and see
What it, all means

Calling It
03:31

No one no wonder like you, wonder like you, wonder like you
Mum the ideas have taken hold of me I can’t stop dreaming
Sweet dreams are making me, making me
We both wont walk away
We both wont walk away
I have never seen a more possessing human being
No one no wonder like you, wonder like you, wonder like you
Ooh I could fall into life in a habitat
Ageless faceless nameless places
Ooh I don't want to forget your features
Or repeat mistakes I’ve made this evening
Move on, Move out, move in
Kiss hello to better lips again
No one no wonder like you, wonder like you, wonder like you
No one no wonder like you
Mmm one never is enough
Never is enough without you
Mmm one never is enough
Never is enough without you

Ooo I know I don't deserve your time
But I want to, introduce you
To some god-damn friends o’ mine
I’m sorry she’s not heard of you
She don’t read that magazine
Bookshelf full of novels
But not as smart as she seems.
Ooo, if you like yourself so much
Why don't you marry him
And die together?
Fuck yourself forever
I’m fucking flexin’ on my own reflection
Not posting shit for attention
The worlds so full of pacifists, and pricks with shiny teeth
But I cant pull the strings apart to see whats underneath
Would not believe it if I did

I will beat myself up
I cant be myself around you
Its impossible
I cant put myself into your skin i cant feel what you feel
I cant see what you see in him
I returned from somewhere
I've been under your spell
I've been under your stare
I returned from somewhere
I've been under your spell
I've been under your stare
I will stain the memory of you
With the pallet that i use
To recorrect the truth
You have found another day
Another way
To make me pay
I returned from somewhere
I've been under your spell
I've been under your stare
I returned from somewhere
I've been under your spell
I've been under your stare
I've been under for so long
Isn't easy
You've been stringing me along
Isn't easy
Pick me up and pull me round
Puppet me above the ground
Enemy in chemistry
I will not make a sound
Even though its tightly wound
The carousel wont turn around
Pick me up and push me round
I will not make a sound

Ooh, It's all i know
Do, you have to go
You've not broke me just yet
I can live in retrospect
I can clear the misconceptions,
Of your twisted dialect
And i feel lucky to know
That those two eyes can take me home
A thousand people all alone
My clock is wound to milestones
Ooh, It's all i know
Do, you have to go
Robert
Heavy heart
A very very heavy heart
Hard to start
A bitter watermark
All over my dreams
In my nostalgia
Into the seams
Taxis here
Taxis gone
Taxis come and go
Back where they are from
Wish i hadn't come
Wish i wasn't numb
Hate everyone in this house
Except for one
My blood weighs a ton
Ooh, It's all i know
Do, you have to go

i love you
03:08
|

I love you
And if you change state, that fact shall remain
Ahhh, I've found the cure for loneliness its in my brain
Ahh, Ahh
Bear with me
If it doesn't make you feel honey thats okay
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
Shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
Above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
I don't know if ill survive in the circumstances
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
Shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
Above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
I don't know if ill survive in the circumstances
I am fearing what i feel when i lay in bed
And i, i know just what you're feeling when you seem misread
Ahh, Ahh
I cant see
Whatever it is that you will convey
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
Shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
Above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
I don't know if ill survive in the circumstances
Everybody's moving in the out of time dances
Shower tap balance, in a tightrope stance
Above the deep expanse, there's no second chances
I don't know if ill survive in the circumstances

i've lost
06:29
|

All these mirrors in your head
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
All these mirrors in your head
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
All these mirrors in your head
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
Reflect what hasn't happened yet
I've lost the will to keep trying all the time with you
And i, i lost the pen that could speak more words that i ever knew
I lost the poem, that i wrote you and put straight through the blades
I lost track of time, but you've been sat outside the maze
I lost control, this raft is sinking in the sea
I lost the vision of us sitting round and drinking tea
I lost the puzzle that was sitting there but now it’s gone
I lost somebody there was 2 but now there's one

Oncoming Traffic

No-one wants to save you
The way I want to save you
No-one watches anyway
Leave yourself
I don't want you to be ashamed
I could tell you anything
No-one wants to be alone
Pacified and fully grown
Panicked in a passive tone
Drawn the lines
A day goes by
Were singing and dancing
In infinite patterns
It’s real life
Will you make it out alive
No-one wants to love you.
No-one wants to feel a thing
So fucked up you cannot Think
No-one wants to be alive
Fancy anyone you find
It’s easy
Its a feeling now
Pulling me away from the sun
Thats exactly it now
I’m dreaming of ways to wake up
Are we are, are we are, are we are we are, we are
Are we are, are we are, are we are we are, we are
Are we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
Are we? are we are! we are!
