January

I am a darkened TV starlet
I’ll be there when you can’t sleep at night
I’m made of these broken lines
The colours fades, the noise in the back of my head
They tell everything is wrong with me
I think I just need to get some sleep
January calls for self-improvement
My clothes don’t fit, my hair’s a mess, I dropped ketchup on my skirt
I am worth more than they all tell me
I’ll be here when January comes again
They tell everything is wrong with me
I think I just need to get some sleep

The world is fucked, let's make a nut roast for our heartache
and sit around a table on a winter's afternoon
we'll eat until our buttons burst
we can destroy our enemies with one meal
you and me need to feed our souls
let's find the answers at the bottom of a bowl
we'll get a bag of chips on the way home
i want to know we're doing okay now
i want to know we're doing okay now
i want to know we're doing okay now

Today has been an awful day
I want you to know you’re great
I want to tell you that you’re not on your own
I want to be able to pick up the phone
I can’t tell you that it will be okay
I can’t tell you that we’ll feel safe
You’re worth more than this

Broken
02:52
|
|||
Go to university
I don’t want you to be like me
don’t hang out with him
don’t sleep with her
i don’t want you to be like them
I wonder why the world is broken all the time
Why I can’t sleep and you’re never awake at night
I wonder how I’ll be able to pay the bills
why we can’t experience life on an even keel
I just don’t go around there
I bet it wasn’t easy for you
I want you to come over for tea
but I worry what you’d think of me
I wonder why the world is broken all the time
Why I can’t sleep and you’re never awake at night
I wonder how I’ll be able to pay the bills
why we can’t experience life on an even keel

I Am A Hedgehog
02:17
|
|||
The best advice you gave me was to trust no one
I keep those words close as a locket to my heart
When I’m in the street I pretend I’m ten foot high
I take up all the space whenever you come by
I’m like a hedgehog, prickly as fuck
I’ll curl up in some leaves a little ball of spikes
When I’m in the street I pretend I’m ten foot high
I take up all the space whenever you come by

Small Things
03:53
|
|||
We went along the road to see the cats we used to know
then we spent our saturday alone in no clothes
when i can't see a way out of this
and love feels like a finite resource
i can't believe that you still like me
and i deserve to be happy
i am a rusty bolt that can't be moved for you
i go out by myself to see the sky burn bright blue
when i can't see a way out of this
and love feels like a finite resource
i can't believe that you still like me
and i deserve to be happy

I Left My Room
02:23
|
|||
I went to the park today
I had an ice cream
you went to your job today
I left my room
I went to the supermarket
I bought vegetables
you went to your job today
I changed my clothes
no one will congratulate you for the bath you took
but sometimes those smaller things mean more than you could ever know
if all you could do today is breathe then that's okay
you're worth more than the work you did today

Day Trip
03:02
|
|||
empty shores, blue grey landscapes
strong thighs, you open wide
rolling spaces, broken cars
long nights, so hard to feel
tired lights are all I see
greedy hands, never seen again

I saw you at the bus stop just the other day
It seemed like you’d aged 25 years
But when I saw you suddenly I’m back
Cross legged on yr dad’s bedroom carpet
And you’re leaning in to kiss me
You won’t look me in the eye now
I’m thirty now and everything has changed
I’m thirty now and I still feel the same
I wish I’d known how hard it is to grow up
I wish I’d known I could choose who to fuck
And you’re leaning in to kiss me
You won’t look me in the eye now
Something is breaking inside of me
I can’t believe we ever hung out
What was I thinking? x4

Waiting Room
04:46
|
|||
In another hard lit waiting room
I discover all I meant to you
I uncover all my broken bones
and I wonder how I stayed so long
and all I want to do is see you after
even though it took so long to find a way out
I find traces of your words in my own thoughts
I push them out of all the places I shut you out of
Alone I start to breathe again
forge my own space out of your bedroom
I uncover all I was before
and I wonder how I stayed so long
and I find I think less of you each day
you fade into another fuzzy patch of heartache
I find traces of your words in my own thoughts
I push them out of all the places I shut you out of
