Dropping pins
on places on my skin
that i'd like to visit someday.
I look in the mirror
and see a blurry figure.
My voice is indistinct.
She was a map
soon to give me a heart attack
I had to find it all over again.
I was a dreamer
I thought that I could see her
but I was really looking at the drawing I made.
I have to look all over again
I have to look all over again
I'm not even my own friend
I'm lost in this carnival again.

The Salt
04:48

That really looks like nice wine
I'd like to try it sometime
the bass in the music seems so good
from a few walls and windows away.
The photos you posted look so great
and yeah I bet your friends were great
and yeah I bet the songs were great
it's all just so so great.
I could never be angry at you
you're just doing what you want to do
I think it's better if I stay right here
I'd probably bring down the mood.
I could never be your friend
you could be my friend
and it feels like this night won't end
like they're rubbing the salt deep down.
I don't deserve the right
to gaze upon you with my friends
I'm a dog just put me down
and you're the sun itself.
I could never live like you
you're just doing what I want to do
I better go and crawl to a hole
no one would know the difference anyway.
I could never be anything
and you could never be nothing
it feels like this feeling won't end
life's rubbing the salt deep down.

The world just keeps me inside
all the people walk by me
all so pretty and so perfect
all so good at everything.
Every beauty in the world
brings me closer to the ground
I just can't compete
I just don't have a chance.
Someone lead me somewhere
somewhere away from here
I wanna fall in love
and get my lovers eyes.
I need a breath of fresh air
and a deserted island
with no one around
and nothing besides me.
I'll forget all of the beauty
and think it ends at me.
But if come back and see those girls
I'll disintegrate.
Someone lead me somewhere
somewhere away from here
I wanna fall in love
I'm sure love makes it all go away.
I think I'll die alone
that's if I die at all
because I think I'll live forever
this doesn't seem like it'll stop.
I live my life alone
that's if i'm living at all
I've not seen the summer in so long.
Someone lead me somewhere
somewhere away from here
I want it all to stop
someone make it stop.
(I see them on my phone)
I think i'll die alone
(I want to gouge my eyes out)
that's if I die at all
(it's so tough to carry on)
because I think I'll live forever
this doesn't seem like it'll stop.
(I don't want to be alone)
I live my life alone
(I want someone to tell me it's fine)
that's if I'm living at all
I've not seen the summer in so long.

Chastised Eyes
02:52
|

Skeletons with dressing on
take me down
turn it on.
You're so good
made me yours
you don't know thesed shadowed wars.
You hurt my
chastised eyes.
This body's mine.
chastised eyes.
Shiny wall, something inside
move my body
it moves with mine.
You don't see
you don't know
you're high with the statues, I'm down below.
You hurt my
chastised eyes.
These scabs are mine.
chastised eyes.
You give my
chastised eyes
a body to become
I'll be those other guys.

Rows
rows of people shining like gold.
Thoughts
mine will be left untold.
Everyone rises up
they are monuments.
Falling to the ground
I am a statuette.
It's gonna be a long time
it's gonna be a long long time.
Wind
blowing through the trees.
A tree fell through the house
but no one sees.
Everyone's dancing along
they are beside themselves.
Looking through a broken window
I am something else.
It's gonna be a long time
it's gonna be a long long time.
Everyone's living on the edge
of a heart attack.
While I look at my bedroom walls
counting the cracks.
A boy I knew moved
halfway across the world.
He'll be making six figures
while I'm singing about girls.
It's gonna be a long time
it's gonna be a long long time.
The songs around this town
all they do is bring me down.
There's a show on tonight
I'm sure it'll be a sight.
And you'll never hear this song
that I badly sing.
Maybe I should want a little less
than everything.
It's gonna be a long time
it's gonna be a long long time.
It's gonna be a long time
it's gonna be a long long time.
Warmth
come to me.
Warmth
you're all I need.
-a long time
--a long long time
There's nothing I can do
to get somewhere brand new.
I want to be led somewhere
where someone will care.
I'm only eighteen
but I'll remain unseen.
There's so many others
in front of me.

Thin Walls
03:49
|

He comes in to talk to me
tells me I need to get out more
touches my shoulder
I tell him I don't want to be touched no more.
Now the chair is halfway across the room
"I'll tear this building down I swear to God".
And I lay on my own
too scared to turn the light switch off.
Muffled through thin walls
"I'm leaving, this time it's for real"
his words
they attacked,
but it's not the first time she's heard this act.
She comes in to speak to me
I thought she was on my side.
screams like a banshee
I thought my tears would never hide
but none come out.
I look off into the distance
there's nothing to do now
no one but myself to blame.
I walk between fleshy walls
looking for a book I hid away.
but the book isn't there
there's not an answer there.
And there's nothing I can do
too young to make a change.
So I lay in my room
waiting for it all to happen again.

Possessed

You say the same things
every single day
you try and try and try
to make the drafts go away.
You've told me that
about thirty times before.
You couldn't see to your left
you hit your head right on the door.
But your plans
are all miles ahead.
Maybe it's better left unsaid.
Do you even know
that you're gonna go
and never hear this?
Do you even know?
Do I even know?
Does anyone really know?
I tell you that my broken speakers
can't be fixed.
Nothing you tried ever worked
and yet you still persist.
You throw your glasses across the room
and curse me out.
The next day
you ask if I've seen your glasses about.
Your fine details
are all miles behind.
There's something in your brain that you can't find.
Do you even know
that you're gonna go
and never hear this?
Do you even know?
Do I even know?
does the doctor even know?
Do you even see
what you're starting to be?
You're a shell with some rotten flesh inside.
Do you even see?
We all can see.
You look in the mirror and you can't see.
There's something wrong with you, man
no one, even you, can understand.
There's something wrong with you, man
we're trying the best we can.

Full Moon
04:46
|
|||
When the sun's out
the moon's still there.
Even when the sun's out
the moon stays.
The sun's out when there's people there
but the moon is just out of sight.
Werewolves
you're turning into werewolves.
Don't get angry
but you're acting like animals.
I sing my words
like I'll die if i'm heard.
I speak just the same.
I smile
almost like a maniac.
It's because of you
IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.
Werewolves
you're turning into werewolves.
I don't want to be like you
but you called my name.
And when I'm at my friend's house
I wonder why I'm afraid
of that big floating full moon
making its way.
Everything here is alright
I can sleep tonight.
but I return to the dark cave
where they shout their lives away.
Werewolves
I don't wanna be a werewolf.
I'm doing ok
but then I see the full moon.
Kill you
I don't wanna have to kill you.
But it's better than getting my life on track
and having everyday host another attack.
See you
I know I will see you
crying and cursing your old portraits
then the same old routine the very next day.
Full moon
there's always a full moon.
Even when the sun's so bright
it's just a barrier for the night.

This Doesn't Involve You
08:55

I woke up at night
I got a big fright.
Was Dead singing with Mayhem outside?
It only took a second
to forget the question.
The answer was still in my mind.
I got that answer
when I was young
and I first started to realise
that cartoons and shows
either lied or didn't know
about the realities of life.
(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(to me now)
fall asleep.
Background noise.
(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(to me now)
fall asleep.
Background noise.
I think I know
why they kill each other
every single night.
But if someone asked me
I think I'd just freeze
it's ambiguous to say the least.
I hope it's something breathing
something with meaning
if they insist on disrupting me.
But I don't care
I'm no longer scared
it just makes me angry.
(Background noise
background noise)
(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(to me now)
fall asleep.
Background noise.
(It doesn't matter)
I can just
(to me now)
fall asleep.
Background noise.
We're adults
(The grown ups are talking)
and we can do what we want.
Living in the middle
of a David Lynch film
the world spins around
and I pass out.
I had a dream where I fell in love
but her face was just a hazy blur.
I lay in bed
with a looking glass
trying to pinpoint all of the cracks
but I don't know how to get them fixed
and I don't know if I can learn new tricks.
Maybe I'll coat my room in white
cover my ears and close my eyes
and numb my body to the slightest touch
and there'll be nothing that can get too much.
Someoene's calling
and it's not my friend
they say it's on me to make amends
I ask how long it'll take to climb
they say IT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME.
