Hard Thing

You take my time and my energy
Should be paying for my therapy
And there’s only so much
Healing I can do
Before I start blaming you
Yeah I believe in forgiveness
But with god as my witness
Oh she knows
The shit you put me through
So I’m doing the really hard thing
And I won’t crawl back to you
Cause heartbreak and misery
Are not things I’m
Willing to renew
Every goodbye has it’s colour
Yours black mould just uncovered
And I’m stained by
The shit you put me through
So I’m doing the really hard thing
And I won’t crawl back to you
Cause heartbreak and misery
Are not things I’m
Willing to renew, oh
I’ve been reading short
stories in your diary
I’ve making a
Million different theories
You’re someone new
And I just want you
To make me happy
Or alternatively
I could be reading the manual
On this scared little girl
She’s got her shoes
Glued to the floor
Stuck on what I wanna be
And what you think of me
So I’m,
I’m doing the really hard thing
When I don’t crawl back to you
Cause heartbreak and misery
Are not things I’m
Willing to renew
Not for you

Lonely Love Affair

Something strange is in the air
It’s a lonely love affair
You found me looking through ashes
Of someone I used to know
Something strange is in the air
It’s a lonely love affair
You found me looking through ashes
Of someone I used to know
Found lost
All’s unfair in love
And I’m pouring through my lashes
Cause I’ve been the death of you
Rain on
someone new
No It won’t teach me nothing
I’d die for another you
Something strange is in the air
It’s a lonely love affair
You found me looking through ashes
Of someone I used to know
Something strange is in the air
It’s a lonely love affair
You found me looking through ashes
Of someone I used to know
I Knew the lessons
Then I closed my eyes for one second
That’s how I went blind overnight
Is that the cost of a good time?
Promised a blessing
But what am I undressing?
are you the past in new shoes?
And what will I let you do?
Well you held me like a tiny dancer
But imma need a better answer
What is the meaning of a life with you?
Does it mean dying too?
Did you know I still dream of you
Hopeful at a funeral
Saying who knows (knows)
Who knows (knows)
But I do (I do)
Something strange is in the air
It’s a lonely love affair (it’s a lonely)
You found me looking through ashes (you found me)
Of someone I used to know (someone I used to)
Something strange is in the air
It’s a lonely love affair
You found me looking through ashes (you found me)
Of someone I used to know
You found me looking through ashes
Of someone I used to know

Back of the Uber
05:12

Got me picking at my face
Got me picking at my brain
In the back of the Uber
Why do I want you so bad
Can’t seem to care about anything else
When will you ask me to stay?
Go home
To wash off my self-loathing
From all the weed I smoked and
I forgot how
It makes my brain
go into overdrive
With anxiety now I’m so tired
From thinking miles
You know I’m perfect for you
In the disco lights
Right under the moon
In bright times
You know I’m perfect for you
When my body’s tight
Just swaying my hips
From side to side
[Instrumental]
Got your hands all
on my waist
Got you kissing on my face
In the back of the Uber
Why do I need you so bad
Can’t seem to take care
of myself
There’s gotta be another way
Take me home
Take off all these clothes
and I know how to do this dance well
And we’re so in time (so in time)
I’m in your brain
And you’ve taken over mine entirely,
how soon this fire
Should burnt me out (burn me out)
You know I was so cool
At first sight
Just standing with you
In street lights (street lights)
Oh how did I lose my cool
In the frost-bite
On the tip of your tongue (tip of your tongue)
It’s cold as ice
[Instrumental]
The earth is so cruel
to Gravitate me to you
To think there was room
to think it could be for you
So, go on
Why’d you stop talking
All the while I’d hoped that
You’d make me laugh, am I
Making your brain go into overdrive
With anxiety
now, you’re so tired
Wish you were high

Same Set of Keys
04:42

You carry the same
Set of keys
He used to lock
These shadows on me
And who’s to say
I’m not still the same
Weak animal
That can’t escape
Can I be
In the same place
In your arms
And somebody else’s hands
Can it be, I’ve broken a feather
In this exact weather
And maybe that’s
Why I’m not healing
Change my heart beat
To something easier to play
Music of my mind
Is not easy on the ear
And I love you but I
I’m not free to love
Comfort in love ain’t never had a tune
So what the fuck am I supposed to play you
I’ve only heard the blues
Now I’m running laps around the truth
That I’ve got this song I’m not ready to show you
Can I be
In the same place (same place, place)
Wrapped around your arms
And somebody else’s finger
Can it be
I’m triggered by a fever
From this exact behaviour
Or is it just a déjà vu feeling
Change my heart beat
To something easier to play
Music of my mind
Is not easy on the ear
And I won’t relax
Cause i know the answer
So I don’t know
Is not working today
Oh I love you but I
I’m not free to love
Keeping my distance
Is getting exhausting
Takes a lot of resistance
Keeping this wall up
Can I breath in your colours
And just forget the others
Cause I wanna write moor
Songs about you, oh
Change my heart beat
To something easier to play
Music of my mind
Is not easy on the ear
Can’t Change my mind
Cause I’ve learnt hard the way
But I can’t stand
When you look at me that way
Oh I love you but I’m
I’m not free to love

Bad Behaviour
03:20
|

You smile
With the same lips
That say some
Absolute shit
And I don't exist
Unless you’re kissing my left tit
I, I’ve been
Put on the back burner
Of your mind and I’m,
Setting fire to this end
Of your head
So far away
While my hands are burning
All you feel is warm
All you feel is warm
So far away
While my hands are burning
All you feel is warm
All you feel is warm
I don't smile
With the same lips
You used to kiss
Cause I’ve got great comebacks
On my tongue, on the tip
And I don't wish
That’d you’d come back
I just wish you’d shut up
About your dad
How he screwed you up
So far away
While my hands are burning
All you feel is warm
All you feel is warm
So far away
While my hands are burning
All you feel is warm
All you feel is
All you feel
Open your blinds
Play a song
A wolf that cries
I’m the lonely one
You broke my heart like
Rainy Melbourne days
In the middle of summer
You’re just a bummer
And I’ll follow the
Pretty yellow reds
I’ll meet a better day
I don’t smile
When I think of our time
Cause I won’t reward
Bad behaviour
