i was so fed up in the mornings i used to idolise the cheerfulness you always seemed to show it's always worse when i've been drinking i lost the ability to conceal all my unhappiness and i still think about you daily i can't pretend that i'm sorry that i left you i worked out all your wooden cronies and i'd be surprised if you're all still in touch just 'cause you're married to him doesn't make you best i've seen the lights go off and on like it's a test call me a psychopath, call me an inhuman wretch you told me i'd be angry, all that i can say is that's a stretch i think i magnified your honour of course it's probable that i used you for a fantasy i had something like london intelligentsia whose babies never made good friends with me but boy, they liked you and i still think about it daily the day your current girlfriend mocked me for a badge that i put on i guess i never could be rad enough my mum read readers digest and ate margarine just 'cause you're married to him doesn't make it worse you told me i should accept that he got here first call me a psychopath call me an evil twisted wretch you told me i'd be angry well all that i can say is that's a stretch i don't wanna be a horcrux for your soul i don't speak that language and i can't swallow bullshit whole i don't wanna be a horcrux for your soul so please write me another role just 'cause you're married to him doesn't make it worse you told me i should accept that he got here first call me a psychopath call me an inhuman wretch call me a stick that i became to make you fetch call me a scar that i sort of made you etch you told me i'd be angry well all that i can say is that's a stretch

it's so sad right, you thought you had a halo but it was just the glare from the backlight of your iphone it's so crap though, you thought this was a done deal, but now you're so alone, so alone lights off and i'm not sure much has happened lights on, i'm tryna catch the last wink, if you're about and you ever want to link up, i caught a virus but it won't kill me don't let them tell you just who you ought to be if you grew those roots then you're the motherfucking tree you look back now, i miss the person that was open before you fucked it all repeatedly and look forward, i miss the person that could do that, before you fucked it all repeatedly lights off and i'm not sure much has happened lights on, i'm tryna catch the last wink, if you're about and you ever want to link up, i caught a virus but it won't kill me don't let them tell you just who you ought to be if you grew those roots then you're the motherfucking tree

Chicken 02:18
i want to go to sleep have a proper one and when i wake my dreams would dissolve like dew and i could lay out on the grass all day instead of sitting in a puddle of you i don't know if i worked hard or if i chickened out but i could be more committed than i've ever been so tell me that you're outside, i won't chicken out don't let me labour for a lost dream honey i i won't chicken out

count down all the reasons that you're scared starting with the weather that you figure no human has fared ending with the people that you know never loved you nor cared and a sky so big you could fall in count down all the reasons that you live starting with a house on a hill with a garden to give ending with the lover that you wanna be accompanied with and a menagerie of cats i ain't ever been burned so badly i ain't ever been burned so badly, i saw the fire and i jumped in. i don't care if you're loving her now climb down honey just climb down off that horse you know that rhetoric wouldn't do much, of course, although you never wanted to use power or force so climb down, climb down

i can't find a pulse can't find a heartbeart she's gone into the other room where she's laughing at nothing all my principles came down, all my standards fell away i called her out in the worst way she didn't say goodbye, it hardly ever happens, oh no what if she falls for a guy, i sure hope that doesn't happen

Grateful 03:32
creaking on the landing to your room after watching casualty with you i thought if i told you maybe you'd see my truth and love me for confiding in you cos i wanna love your husband i wanna know about your joy i wanna meet you where you stand, even breathing sand unstable, should i be feeling grateful? (you stayed too long) did i misbehave? should i be feeling brave? (you stayed too long) your voice carried the spirit. i wanted to be everything you were. singing the heavens they are telling and they told me you were transcendent
7.
why do you suddenly have my back? why do you suddenly have my back? it's enough, come on, you lack it. why do you suddenly give a shit? why do you wanna take a selfie with me in it when it was so easy to take what you wanted and i wish that you'd just gone and now i wish you'd go you don't even need to be liked you just need to seem like you are liked it's all so fucking pathetic i can't roll my eyes that far back i know i'd never bring it up anyway too many ugly words to say i'd rather choose gentle catharsis over that shitstorm any day

always got so many words to say i'm just tryna ride my bike down the greenway all that time i spent in primary school, telling me look the other way, look the other way what's that friendly man at the store i'm so glad that he was just smiles and nothing more but then my girlfriend had to swing by our flat and he asked me how we would have kids, god, what'd he do that for it happens every single day, i just want to buy some juice, i really want to trust you but it's just no use, i literally exist, i'm sorry that it's weird i'm trying to do better than my peers. please don't look at me on the bus please don't talk to me on the train please don't make a fantasy of us you'd done it all before you'll do it all again so imagine we are kids imagine we are friends just playing in the playground til breaktime ends it's easy to relate, i literally exist i told my best friend i was her boyfriend

he drank his teeth away, one by one swallowed, washed away his gums clung oh they clung some what a victory it was when the day came sobriety number than a common cold, you'd wonder what gives, who knew cos we're all running low and so run down too he hadn't planned to be a wanker he just totally became one after years and years of wretched impunity with congratulations for the meagrest of things, enthralled by the notion that he deserved the world
10.
if we'd been born beneath the same star wouldn't be wondering where you are dropping my ticket on the pavement and later lacing my fingers through yours i know you're worried about money come on woolf you never lived in one room it stresses me out to sit in silence when we're drinking and we're seething cos we're different so speak tenderly to me, lay me out you know i'd be unhappy, if you're not around
