Love is not for you & me
I’m so glad all we made were memories
I am just enough to forget
You’re too much to enjoy the regret
Love is so much more than mortals
Love is for the pure divine
What right do I have to hold love
In this little heart of mine
You’re a memory, never mine to make
A polaroid I can’t quite shake
I know in time you will fade
But never enough, never the same
Worth it to have my heart broken
Just to feel something outside of me
Reminded with each shattered heartbeat
That I exist enough to be lonely
You’re a memory, never mine to make
A polaroid I can’t quite shake
I know in time you will fade
But never enough, never the same
If love was just a game for you
It never mattered I would lose
If love is just a game for me to
It never matters I lost you
You’re a memory, never mine to make
A polaroid I can’t quite shake
I know in time you will fade
But never enough, never the same
You’re a memory, never mine to make
(This is the last time)
A polaroid I can’t quite shake
(I'll dream of you)
I know in time you will fade
(This is the last time)
But never enough, never
(I'll dream of you)

We are so reckless
If this is how we behave
Earth has no place for us
Deeper or kinder than a grave
I don’t want the steps we leave behind us
To outlive us like a burn
To know I did more damage
Than if I’d never been born
Growing over my skin
Breathe in the last of the mess I made
I will lie down in the earth
And I will hope I did ok
I don’t want the steps we leave behind us
To outlive us like a burn
To know I did more damage
Than if I’d never been born
I am here for good reasons goddammit
They can take anything but that
I will not be a parasite
I am worth more than that
We are worth more than that
I don’t want the steps we leave behind us
To outlive us like a burn
To know I did more damage
Than if I’d never been born
We are worth more than that
We are worth more than that

Gold

They said take the damage
Piece it together with gold
Piece by piece encased in metal
Bold as brass and just as cold
Crystallise the confines of my chest
Sharper more beautiful than flesh
(You) Can’t touch me, can’t touch me
(You) Won’t ever come near me
Glittering, shimmering
No skin left to hold
Because of you I have a heart of gold
Twisted jagged crystal
Shards too small to hold
18 carat bruises
Blooming into solid gold
Ribcage a shining cavity
This space for nobody but me
(You) Can’t touch me, can’t touch me
(You) Won’t ever come near me
Glittering, shimmering
No skin left to hold
Because of you I have a heart of gold
I will justify the damage you did
Look at how beautiful I made it
So when I don’t let anybody else in
I’ll say it’s you who put me here
(You) Can’t touch me, can’t touch me
(You) Won’t ever come near me
Glittering, shimmering
No skin left to hold
Because of you I have a heart of gold

Take

It’s only human, take what you can get
It’s only me, was I just that convenient
I’d only keep you if I wanted you there
I can’t believe you wouldn’t give me the same respect
If you were always gonna leave
After all I gave you
You could have at least
Gone with gratitude
I gave you everything you wanted
If you didn’t even want it
Why did you take so much
Take so much
If my all wasn’t enough
Why did you take so much
I know I am replaceable
But the love I gave was not
You will spend your life
To find nothing like it
I know you know that now
I know you’ll try to hide it
I gave you everything you wanted
If you didn’t even want it
Why did you take so much
Take so much
If my all wasn’t enough
Why did you take so much
Were you that desperate to be taken care of
Sacrifice my best years for a little bit of love
It’s human nature, it’s never quite enough
I just felt validated when you needed so much
I gave you everything you wanted
I gave you everything you wanted
I gave you everything you wanted
If you didn’t even want it
Why did you take so much
Take so much
If my all wasn’t enough
Why did you take it all

Mess
03:34
|

|
With big bloodshot eyes
You said the mess will provide
Whether it’s rizlers or filters
Or reasons to stay alive
We are each others mess
Drunk therapy at 3am
I have to confess
It means as much now as it did then
Make yourself proud first
Everyone else can wait
A friendly competition
Who can make the most mistakes
We don’t know what we’re doing
And there’s no stopping
We don’t owe perfect
To justify living
It all waiting
So come let’s take it on
Yeah come let’s take it all
Just the mess that we are
Big bloodshot love
Dragging each other up
We’ll never be diamonds
But we’ve made it through the rough
Make yourself proud first
Everyone else can wait
A friendly competition
Who can make the most mistakes
We don’t know what we’re doing
And there’s no stopping
We don’t owe perfect
To justify living
It all waiting
So come let’s take it on
Yeah come let’s take it all
Just the mess that we are
You are my strength to get back up again
When hope is long gone
My strength to be naïve, to believe
This somehow makes us stronger
Make yourself proud first
Everyone else can wait
Every mistake I’ve made with you
Is the best I’ve ever made
We don’t know what we’re doing
And there’s no stopping
We don’t owe perfect
To justify living
It all waiting
So come let’s take it on
Yeah come let’s take it all
Just the mess that we are

Radio

They say nostalgia is a liar
But so is everything else
Play with the car radio to find
Songs to remind us what we felt
I’ll drive us to a better place
Till we see all the city lights
Stay with me, keep me awake
We can laugh about old times
The old versions of us
Each of us used to know
The one thing that binds us
Our song on the radio
We’ll hold our breath at the border
Laugh after they let us through
Let the music drown out the absence
The years I thought I’d spend with you
Finding truth in the melodies
We used to sing to each other
Lyrics all about escaping ourselves
To find somewhere better
The old versions of us
Each of us used to know
The one thing that binds us
Our song on the radio
Make sure I don’t fall asleep
I can’t take this night for granted
We’re getting closer, my foot starts to ease
I don’t want this drive to end
The old versions of us
Each of us used to know
The one thing that binds us
Our song on the radio

Run
03:36
|

It’s 1am in desperation we wrecked the car
Running full pelt along the motorway in the rain
Hoping there’s somewhere else completely that’s not too far
Running from anywhere that expects me to stay the same
The car billowing steam somewhere far behind me
This was our last chance to get away
I know if I keep running they will never ever find me
I have tried & I have failed every single day
Let me be somewhere else, please
There's strength in having nothing to lose
Falling won’t hurt you once you learn what to do
Hit the ground harder than the ground hits you
Hit the ground harder than the ground hits you
For once I thought everything might be ok
Running so hard I can feel my bones shake
The dream we had was staring us right in the face
Running so hard the atoms of me fall away
Let me be someone else, please
There's strength in having nothing to lose
Falling won’t hurt you once you learn what to do
Hit the ground harder than the ground hits you
Hit the ground harder than the ground hits you
If everything is set up to fail me
It’s still my fault if I fail me too
The car engine failed but that’s ok
There’s still a few miles left in my shoes
There's strength in having nothing to lose
Falling won’t hurt you once you learn what to do
Hit the ground harder than the ground hits you
Hit the ground harder than the ground hits you

Wanderlust
03:26
|

A feeling I can best describe
As intense dark violet light
The closest I can get to home
Is on a mountaintop at night
My home thoughts, my home planets
I haven’t found them yet
I breathe in something more than me
I breathe out normal human breath
I’m just trying to find something beautiful
All I am is wanderlust
(Come take me home)
I’m jealous of the particles in me
Free to leave & choose to come back
I know I’ve always known my home
I just don’t know the way back
I’m just trying to find something beautiful
All I am is wanderlust
(Come take me home)
Little earthly cares
Like atoms in the air
Against a solar flare
The stars leave me scared
Because I’m not them, I’m not there
Is anybody there
I’m just trying to find something beautiful
All I am is wanderlust
(Come take me home)

Deny
03:24

Oh my god, I can’t be here again
Oh my god, I can’t be this again
I know you
Why not get far too close to me
I hate this
I just fixed this mess in me
I know this
Primal familiarity
Between us
Who will be the death of me
If I didn’t have an imagination
I would never fall like this
Obsessive desperation
Stop reducing me to this
Oh my god, I can’t be here again
Oh my god, I can’t be this again
Deny it all down to my DNA
Deny the fall down to my humble place
I know this
See all I have to all it is
Incentive
To deserve what doesn’t exist
I am begging for strength
Don’t reduce me to this again
Oh my god, I can’t be here again
Oh my god, I can’t be this again
Deny it all down to my DNA
Deny the fall down to my humble place
I know this feeling
I know you
Oh my god, I can’t be here again
Oh my god, I can’t be this again
Deny it all down to my DNA
Deny the fall down to my, down to my
Down to my place

Water
03:37
|

I am 99% water
In a thunderstorm, in a downpour
The last shred of thin skin that is left of me
Last grain of sand between land & the shore
I am an iced over river
Can't walk all over the same part twice over
Too fast to freeze, too cold to flow with ease
Shining glass, sharp as a mirror
When the water pulls me on
I won’t hold on or thrash around
I hear the song
Dream on, dreamer
Running river
Don’t you ever give up
Strong as water
Feel the flow & know it’s on your side
I am tiny dewdrops of moisture
Sweet but fleeting no presence to capture
I feel the storms overhead always moving on
Chasing for a taste of that power
When the current pulls me down
I won’t hold on or thrash around
I hear the song
Dream on, dreamer
Running river
Don’t you ever give up
Strong as water
Feel the flow & know it’s on your side
I will always go
Where you wanna go
Even water cuts through stone
Dream on, dreamer
Running river
Don’t you ever give up
Strong as water
Feel the flow & know it’s on your side
