earth 02:54
cus i'll start from where i left off broken on my bedroom floor wishin i was sat on the beach somewhere far up north i wanted to explain all the intricacies of life but i didnt wanna come off pretentious just like the last time where the people sit near where the old park bench is give me a reason to still exist here give me a reason why i should sit back an observe the glowing and burning earth all the fast cars on the motorway all the people in the subway all the sheep in the fields all the reasons why i wanna feel something my hearts still beating my feet are in the snow give me a reason to still exist here give me a reason why i should sit back an observe the glowing and burning earth give me a reason why i should let you go when im sleeping, my heart will keep beating

dead dogs reanimated in my dreams glowing nervous system, silly strings, potent potion, laughing cats all of which and once at that is it your voice that i hear near? scratching skin for more ideas nothing that i cant seem to see and they all sing to me i am you and you are me i am all youre insecurities whilst your sleeping in your bed im underneath in your head nervous breakdown every night every one is a losing fight talk the talk and speak the speak i'll never know what lies beneath if i question too much will i always be sad? will his mother still relapse? dont tell her youre here tonight dont tell her that you are right if theres flashing black hounds all over my back am i even able to fight back? if theres a breeze on my shoulder and aches in my knees i'll starve on this mountain never mind freeze dont tell her that youre here tonight dont tell her that you are right dont tell her that youre here tonight dont tell her that you are right

the hills 02:10
i wanna create smthn beautiful i wanna see the light i wanna make a difference i wanna b alright lets go up into the hills in the dead of night lets mould artificial designs would it be a crime i could try so hard and get nothing back i can feel the silver tricklin down my back the splinters in ur knees the flame from ur tongue try so hard but still u gotta run

oversleeping 02:22
cus i left for the city in the pouring rain not something i would ever do again i slept on the sofa, known as ur spare room listening to the rain and watched the glow of the street lights just like the glow of the lamps onto the damp street something about you, resonated with me honestly i wanna take sum time to reflect on all the times ive overslept on all those responsibilities these sort of things have become a commodity like getting up and having enough sleep making sure ive had enough to eat sometimes i think i dont belong in my flesh flush it out think some other thoughts instead
5.
look at ur mother look at ur brother look at the moon and tell me the difference between night and noon i will scream and shout until you know what i mean i will keep wriggling until my light stops shining u know

i'll write a stereotypical song, like how my future is uncertain and all cus every song i write seems to be my last im struggling to comprehend, this music thing wont last youve probably heard this a 100 times before but im not really here, im really 34 stuck doing something, something that i hate god im so desperate i hate i hate i hate if i hit my head, hard at the back would i still be me? is it something that i lack if something changed in there, would the real me be dead i think about this shit too much its quite literally in my head like your bud on a friday night i'll be there when youre getting high its a false sense of liberation we're all stuck in a simulation wrap your hair in a bun now then tonnes of fun think you know everything but youre stuck on the fence on important things

too strong or too weak too tall or too small too low or too high all the growths coming from my body begging me to stop waking up tired and angry, because someone from another country just got shot politicians, young magicians, manipulated public tired and angry, young and anguished, dead dogs on the floor you are a god! you are a god! you are nothing you are a very special person in our hearts (theyre lying) you are very comfortable in your skin except when you see a mirror you are very good at holding yourself together (you are a fraud)

tidbits 01:14
little tidbits in your mind take it back, take it back to another time i'll be there when u live and die take it back, take it back to another time
10.
spirit 01:43
im like a spirit u cannot vanquish im like a dead king at his own funerals banquet im like a whispering voice in the wind a puppy wandering trying to meet his kin im like a bit inbetween ur molers im like dead bird on ur saturday stroll yea i got hit hard im on the ground n u better be worried when i make no sound im not dead yet, i know thats a disappointment to some of you, but its an achievement to me cuz it means i went and grew im not dead yet, i got things to do, i got shit to see, im here for 80 years, then i'll haunt yas individually im like a spirit that you cannot vanquish im like a traitor and nomad from another land yea feels like i shouldnt be here at all but i'll make the most of it before the fall
