Pouring Down

It’s raining again
For the 5th time today
I’m having a stare down with these dark grey clouds
Please take care
You never know what’s gonna happen today
I thought you said you hated to see me cry
But the rain’s still pouring
It's blurring my eyes
I thought the flowers would grow this year
But the floods came and soaked the soil and all the seeds were washed away

Homesick
04:19
|

|
The days roll over like a dog
I miss my friend and I miss my mum
Homesick in my bedroom
If it's not here then where is home
Remove my bones and chew them up
Make a paste out of the pulp
Build them back bigger and stronger
And then put them back in where they were
Take me back to the house in my memories
Nostalgia state of mind tells me
It's where I'm supposed to be
I never thought I'd be so alone
How can I be feeling homesick in my own home
Play throw and catch with my eyeballs
Make me dizzy so I fall down
Into the depths of the darkness
Of the holes in my sockets
Tug of war with my heart strings
Won't take too much for them to break
In fact I'm not even sure that I have them
At least then they can never ache

Goodnight

I’m sorry
I guess I’m just worried
That you are gonna leave me behind without talking
That you’ll leave me behind and keep walking
I’ll hold you
And I’ll tell you what you want me to
I’ll tell you that I want you here with me always
That I want you here with me
It’s not your fault your brain is upside down
I’m sorry I told you to turn it around
Cover your ears to block out the sound
It's not pleasant to hear yourself fall to the ground
And when you feel like your skins the wrong way around
Know that everyone feels a little inside out
Brace yourself and try not to look down
And I’ll be there waiting when you reach the ground
I‘ll be there lying with you on the ground
I’m sorry
You don’t have to forgive me
For all the times I added fuel to the fire
And helped burn out all your desire to stick around
It’s not too late to put it out
And now that I’ve, I’ve learnt to be better
I just hope you've not already written your letter
You’re the first to take care of the rest of us
But you can’t stand the sight of your own blood
So you’ll cover your eyes
And you’ll let your body bleed itself dry
So I’ll bandage your knees
and I’ll hope that you see
I’ll be there when you open your eyes
I’ll be there to make sure you’re alright
I’ll be there till the end of my time
I’ll be there till we all say goodnight
It’s not your fault your brain is upside down
I’m sorry I told you to turn it around
Brace yourself and try not to look down
And I’ll be there waiting when you reach the ground
I’ll be there lying with you on the ground

Waiting Room
04:01
|

|
Late again for my appointment
I won’t say I missed the bus on purpose
It’s just I get nervous
Don’t wanna talk feelings on a Thursday afternoon
It always comes around too soon
Fish in the waiting room
Maybe it's better here than the aquarium
Because nobody’s got the energy
To tap on the glass and bother them
Or really to do anything at all
They could have been plastic for all I know
I never really walked up to say hello
Too distracted thinking about
What I would say this time around
I’m pretty much the same as I have been
School sucked, thanks for asking
Mum’s still dead, same as last week
Why does the time go so slowly
I hate how the silence gets so loud
When neither of us knows what to talk about
Try not to make it obvious
As you attempt to read the clock on the wall
It’s only ten past four
Fish in the waiting room
Maybe they get lonely too
At least they’ve got some colour
But does it fade like the rest of ours do
Can they feel pain like the rest of us do
They could have been dead for all I know
Been going there for years and do they even live that long
Empty fish tanks for empty souls
Both filled with water that’s a little too cold
I wish that I had said what was on my mind
But on our first day I told her I was fine
Now I’m not one to contradict
So I’ll keep telling her life’s going swimmingly
I’m pretty much the same as I have been
My day was great, thanks for asking
I’m feeling okay, same as last week
And still the time goes so slowly
And still the time goes so slowly
Still it goes, still it goes, still it

Monster

The weight of it sits on my shoulders
And it feels heavier every day, I feel smaller
as I sink further and further down
And the void in my chest just gets bigger and bigger
I can almost see through to the other
Side of my skin if I look straight in
Ooh
Is it foolish to think it can happen to me
Ooh
Is it foolish to think that I’m worthy
Can you give me a sign it's not hopeless
Can it be soon, maybe now or October
And when it does finally come along and I notice
How soon after will I found out that it’s already over
Tell me I should wait a bit longer
Before I fill my heart up with soil and grow a monster
I’m getting impatient I just want to know that
I’m not gonna die as a half of a whole, miserable and alone

Multiplying Door Handles
03:59
|

|
Soundtracks in the back of your head
You’re not in a movie, no one cares if you’re dead
Walking on trampoline floors and multiplying door handles
What’s in your head
It’s either peanut butter skies or suicide
I know you’re happy sitting up in the sunset but what will you do
What will you do
When you get too heavy for the clouds and they start tumbling down
Will you drown trying to fight your way out
Will you find a way out
Dragging your feet as you walk
No one cares if you’re sad
No one knows what you want
So stressed you grind your teeth in your sleep
What do you see in your dreams
Do you see what you want
I’ve had a vision in forward
Clearly clouded but you’re falling
And I want you to tell me the truth
One way ticket to the moon
Is that the best you can do
To escape the weight of the Earth
One way ticket to the moon
Is that the best you can do
And is it too late to get me one too
Because sometimes I think I’d quite like to join you

Satisfied
03:12

I'm so glad you got yourself all figured out
I’m still waiting for my answers to come around
I’m a little worried that I’ll always be in doubt
And that I might never find the right way out
I’m torn between the in-between
And what’s right here in front of me
Can you tell me what I’m looking for at least
I didn’t think that this was where I was gonna be
I’m still wondering what it’s like to be me
Will I ever be
Satisfied with the person who lies awake at night
Satisfied with the person who’s sharing my eyes
Im terrified that I’ll never know what it’s like
Satisfied, but is anyone ever
Ok I lied, I’m a little jealous
I guess the universe just has her favourites
But it’s taking its toll, sitting waiting in the unknown
Is it even worth trying to take it on my own
I guess if I don’t try I’ll never know
But it's a little bit harder than I’d hoped
Satisfied, all I do is lie awake at night
Satisfied, all I know is being terrified
Satisfied, will I ever know what it's like
Satisfied

Lie
04:20
|

|
I once had a dream
That you had faked your death
Then one day you came back
And I wasn’t even mad
That you had ever left
So tell me its a lie
And that you didn’t really die
And that I’ll see you again
And tell me it’s alright
And that you’re coming home tonight
And I’ll prepare the bed for you
I know it's not real
But can you really blame me for wishing
That it could be different
Can you promise me
One more thing
Tell me that when I die
I can see you one more time
And that we’ll reunite
Its too hard to say goodbye
So I’ll pretend it’s all a lie
Until I see you in the sky
