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

Motherfucking Tree

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

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

Menagerie of Cats

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

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

Grown Man Bop

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

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
