Scars

I was too drunk past your house
She screamed a little too loud
Suddenly I miss you more
When July’s in my eyes
Baby, just wanna dance with you
To be more like you
I found a stone
It had my name on it
I threw it in the water
I watched it ripple
With your name
Let’s get lonely
I never see the scars
I’ve got a glass star on my heart
On my heart
By Christmas Eve
We were sleeping on the floor
I threw away my best jeans
I wore a seahorse around my neck
Let’s get lonely
I never see the scars
I’ve got a glass star on my heart
On my heart

Fossil Eyes

She was raised in a cult till she was five
I thought I could move the Sun with my eyes
My fossil eyes
I couldn’t see you through the interface
Your mouth was slurred
It looked like blood
Was running down your face
In the ground, where you left it
For a million years
It didn’t make a sound as he shuffled to the door
Cause you locked him out
Your fossil eyes
So how can he love you through a screen?
How do the old floors feel on your skin
When he lays you down
Like a diamond
Down the phone?
In the ground, where you left it
For a million years
It didn’t make a sound as he shuffled to the door
Cause you locked him out
Your fossil eyes

All I Want
04:10
|

|
You came in the night
Two men by your side
Your favourite smile on
Washed in the same water
Blessed under the same skies
So hear me out, hear me out, hear me out, hear me out
I just need to know how it goes now
I just need to know just where my time goes
You wrote me a note
In a book of old songs
It said I love you
And feeling so confused
Why you put it there at all
I guess it wasn’t meant from you
So hear me out, hear me out, hear me out, hear me out
I just need to know just where my time goes
It’s all I want
You’re all I want
Just to feel something
Just to feel like something
The flowers that grew in your garden
As I walk to school
Hear me out, hear me out, hear me out
I just need to know how it goes now
I just need to know just where my time goes
It’s all I want
You’re all I want
Just to feel something
Just to feel like something

Antigone

Antigone, I got a little bad again
With this philosophy, it doesn’t bother me
Like you do
If it’s me or the man, you’ll get a hole in your hand
And you’ll be bleeding right through
Swirling round your room
Antigone, you’ll be bleeding right through
I saw my brain light up
From a thousand neon sensors in the sky
I could die for it, just to be without you
You buried me there
I was covered in stars
I felt like a man
Was something in your hair?
If it’s me or the man, I’ll get a hole in my hand
And you’ll be bleeding right through
Swirling round my room
Antigone, I’ll be bleeding right through

Meaning
05:17

I love your chocolate cigarette
That you left by the beach
I love your jeans
You stole them from me
September fell cold
Still I feel so old
Like a child I took your mind
And made it mine
Would you live like me?
I saw you from the train
It looked like you were leaving
I wanna do it till forever loses meaning
I wanna hold it in my palm
And blow it away
My mother’s voice sounds unfamiliar now
I change the sheets at 1 a.m.
To feel like my linen
It’s like I’m taking on a new person
I saw you from the train
It looked like you were leaving
I wanna do it till forever loses meaning
I wanna hold it in my palm
And blow it away
All change, all change, all change

Goldmine
03:24
|
|||
|
She had a mouth full of metal
It was just my thing
She licked a gold mine from her fingertips
She said it tasted just like gold
Never knowing who she is
Feeling like you’re dying
When you burst into dewdrops
Around her eyebrow
And when I’m spiralling again
I know I don’t wanna leave this at all
I just wanna float out under the waves
Of my own words
She had a gold mine
She had all of mine
Never knowing who she is
Feeling like you’re dying
When you burst into dewdrops
Around her eyebrow
Around her eyebrow

Laundry
04:16
|
|||
|
I have a body I grew up in
It takes a slave
And when I’m on those roads
Where my body ran
It’s you I’m looking for
You came smelling of laundry in May
You wore a knight’s costume
I saw your chainmail
I soaped your dishes in the lake
Where you lost your sword
Buried under sand dunes
They tried to excavate
It’s you I’m looking for
You can’t find me
I left without a trace

April
02:22
|

I remember that April
Like a daydream
When my mouth was full of stones
I couldn’t speak without saying your name
The bus rides
The creepy guys
The lies I told you on the East Side
When the moon fell through your window
In colours I’d never seen before
I thought I felt you cross the ether
I still feel it all the time
Why do I dream in black and white?
How can it be something with my eyes?
I wish I could live inside your mind
Cause it wouldn’t die
You wouldn’t die
April, it wouldn’t die
When the moon fell through your window
In colours I’d never seen before
I thought I felt you twenty years on
You’re always on my mind

Today
02:22
|
|||
|
I used to think like a rolling stone
I was cascading down a plane all my teens
And she was diamond white
On her pearly eyes
When she was eighty five
She never gave a sign
And now she’s gone
I had something left to say
By February I was in a mortuary
She was laying down beside me
I thought she’d never really been alive
We threw the dust of her down a highway
They were standing at the doorways
When they came to pick her body off the floor
She was diamond white
Never been alive
The whole time
She never gave a sign
And now she’s gone
I had something left to say
To say, today

Distance
05:17
|

|
See how it grows in your garden, and not in mine
See how it sends up circles flying on the ground
Christmas Eve, I saw your jeans
Through the window
Through the hall
The Spring I was fifteen
Daffodils grew in your garden
Bursting from their placid soil
With gritty toil
Stretching out under the windowpane
And all through the distance, express of spring
Your blustery voice inside my mind
It sounds like yours
It sounds like mine
You said it sounded like springtime
The Spring I was eighteen
I grew in your garden
I rooted myself in the very nut of your ear
I bent my branches
I grew towards the Sun
While you heard from him
That he loved you in springtime
And all through the distance, express of spring
Your blustery voice inside my mind
It sounds like yours
It sounds like mine
You said it sounded like springtime
You said it sounded like springtime
