Pleas and thankyous

The oceans weight will multiply
An endless sun of blinding light
His charm will bring you close to tears
Think what you will
Of the sincere
Hopeless luck
Will keep you stuck
For the best years of your life
For the best years of your life
We tried our best
To keep the apples on the trees
But time and time again
We knackered up our pleas and thankyous
I rise and hope for someones stare
A truth that's kept and hidden there
Hot air balloon that won't come down
Hot air balloon that can't come down

Every day I look outside my window
Staring blankly at your poisoned rainbow
Footpaths closed
Another route
You play at love
Forbidden fruit
I know it's hard to count in pairs
Swearing death traps
Drew you there
Gone are days
You never knew were rising
Tidings to see
Anchors sink without that sinking feeling
Hearts get trodden on
So unappealing
Basic love
So undefined
We whit ourselves
Although ill timed
So thank the stories
In your mind
Brave conditions
To fall behind
Gone are days
You never knew were rising
Tidings to sea
No one knows yet
No one knows what's going on
What's going on?
Today or tomorrow

Bodyclock

Shift the blame
To someone else
It doesn't work to be alone
A shiver felt within your bones
It's gonna take some time to heal
And showing off your battle scars
Can have its own sense of appeal
Leave your voice in an empty room
To see exactly who you are
You bend the truth
To fit your life
With little lies
Well that's me too
As I ignore my bodyclock
I let my heart become a stone
A stone that wants
To be alone
As If i do this by design
Well it takes time to learn a dance
Learn complexities and chance

January bones
05:28
|

Someone and something
Burning and taking
Pavement scraping
January bones- your January bones
Pretty lights shimmer
Boats sink and simmer
There's nothing to capture
With your photographic mind
The detail is bleak
And paradise is a loomer
I never knew no different
When I covered my mouth
Living
Then letting
And the novel ain't finished
A measure's not a measure
When you're nobodys home today
And nobody's home today
Loving and hurting
Blaming and loving
Weather pending
These promises we find
We hurt them all the time
There's time to realise
Consider all thought
Cos there's loveless and loveless
And ocean that's timeless
Let's breathe in the opposite air
Pretend like we
Just couldn't care
Low hanging fruit
In the darkness
I'll find you tomorrow

Middle of june
03:04

All worked up in the middle of June
Unlikely to surrender
To a dark that pulled us under
My life didn't need direction
I was a sad case
Bitter age
Such a paralysed youth
And the brace is even stronger
Than the pull
That pulled us under
Slick road needs an intersection
Oh why the sad face
It doesn't match
Ooh
Unravelled eyes
In these unravelled times
Maybe there is a hole in the hill
That'll trace the sun and stars
And the stars will lead the path
My life didn't need direction
I was a sad case
And it never matched

The thought of a wildflower
The seasonal goldrush
Reminds me of the rain
That got lost in summers pain again
The jasmine is blooming
The warm winds are soothing
Suburban grass is cut
Yet my memories are set in place
A broken soul
Can feel a little distant
The texture is hard to now define
Godless heavens
Open wide
Peaceful waters on my mind
Unlearning the things to unlearn
So I can hold you
A little closer
The thought of a sunflower
Initials in concrete
Got written long ago
By some lovers
Who were so in love
Yet darkness can swallow
And shit out reminders
That you ain't good enough
To be strong enough to love at all

Stuck inside these winterwalls
Digging for a light
Dream of loss
Or of better times
In the summer woods
It came down
While the pressure was building
Camera died in the rivers parade
Stray from the mourning you're after
I'm stupid and lost tonight
Less is more of the same thing
It's a sombre thought
Shadows drain normality
Like a rippled wind
Oceans dry
Pulsing deserts around us
Artificial tricks of light
Magic was once an illusion
Rumours that never died
See what's been undone
Come show me some love
In this killing field
Where it all begun
Save knowledge for now
Mourn the footprints you found
In synthetic holes
And in your plastic burrows
It's time that's wasted
It's love that's faceless
Fallen angel saving face
Isolated light
Heavy rain in heavy hearts
On another night
Every soul is seeking solutions
And everyone's afraid of light
Sunlight is only tradition
And traditions they sometimes die

Grassfire
02:16
|

|
Everyday I walk right through
Shattered glass and burning glue
Pay admission
Hold your breath
I'm a grassfire in the wind
Telling fibs and peeling skin
Summer's cold and sinking in
So run
To the sound of dripping water below
The quarry is looking dark tonight
Pretend you're a snake
In the deep grass that you keep
A rifle language
Bang bang bang
I never knew a backwards sun
