Gather round, old familiar
The portly stains of twelve years today
It seems the same, my shelves are failing
A cowards way to begin your day
Even though i’m getting better
I’m still told to take it slow.
So I take it slow
I take it slow
Even though i’m getting better
I’m still told to take it slow.
Tighten the purse strings its healthy living
To mind you mind, enrich your soul
I say I love you, you have to know
This years been hellish, its time to grow
I try to journal, impossible
I hide the truth, its unstoppable
Even though i’m getting better
I’m still told to take it slow.
Even though i’m getting better
I’m still told to take it slow.
So I take it slow
I take it slow
Even though i’m getting better
I’m still told to take it slow.
The rain is heavier today I think
The light gets brighter as you look at it
You say that I should take a break for me
And you, you tell me to take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow
I take it slow.

We were alive when we were young
We were the salt of the fucking earth
No one could tell us right from wrong
You were a fountain and I couldn't drink enough.
Back when you told me your parents were moving
I knew we were living on borrowed time
But I swear we can make this work if you say that we’ll try
The distance is but a number of hours spent
From days, to weeks, to months when I can barely find the rent
But i’ll be your armour, and i’ll splint your spine
I’ll be your guiding light, if you’ll only be mine
(if you’ll only be mine)
I sang about the weather, about its dependability
And I hoped that one day soon i’d use the tricks that you taught me
But I can't, oh I can't, it’s sad, but true
I’ll still be ever dependent on you.
I just wanted to call and put this to rest
I just wish I could see you and get it all off my chest
I think I wanted it more, and I think you wanted it less
Yeah I just wanted it more, and you just wanted it less
I want to be something bigger, someone better
Than the sum of all my parts
I want to feel like I matter, when it matters
I want to know I played my part
I think I wanted it more and I think you wanted it less
Yeah I just wanted it more, and you just wanted it less.
I sang about the weather, about its dependability
And I hoped that one day soon i’d use the tricks that you taught me
But I can't, oh I can't, it’s sad, but true
I’ll still be ever dependent on you.
Like the day we met outside your school
The rain it came down it was too cold for you
We said we'd make an effort to patch up the distance
But some weeks that's hard to do.
Ever dependent on you.

Your eyes are glazed
You remember the face but not the name
In the picture frame above your doorway
There was once an embrace
All the words came to play
Now you can’t speak the same
Who are you today? Are you ok?
Now I can’t step foot inside that house
It’s not you its the ghost that haunts it now
Would you know my name if I called round?
Would you shout it out or would you ask around?
There was once an embrace
All the words came to play
Still you can't speak the same
Who are you today? Are you ok?
You were the perfect pair
You’d wake at six in the morning
Just ‘cause he liked your hair like that
Who are you today? Are you ok?
Now I can’t step foot inside that house
It’s not you its the ghost that haunts it now
Would you know my name if I called round?
Would you shout it out or would you ask around?
Yeah would you ask around?
And would you ask around?
Now I can’t step foot inside that house
It’s not you its the ghost that haunts it now
Would you know my name if I called round?
Would you shout it out or would you ask around?
And I can't step foot inside that house
Its not you, its the ghost of him that haunts me now
Would you know my face if I called round?
Do you recognise me, do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?

I had a vision of a holiday
A sandstone terrace, two adjacent graves
A single primrose, a lonely drive
Embarking somewhere, a sleepless night.
(I know that we could get by, but I can do this better on my own)
You’re like pawnshop jewels
You turn my fingers baby blue
You came and made your mark
Then you left me in the dark
And I know that I shouldn't care, But I do
I do.
Age is but a number or so I believe
I’m in my 30’s but I think I peaked
When I was 19
When I was carefree
(All we do is get high and I can do that better on my own)
You’re like pawnshop jewels
You turn my fingers baby blue
You came and made your mark
Then you left me in the dark
And I know that I shouldn't care, But I do
Well if that’s the price I pay
It still hurts in the same way
And I’ll always feel this way around you
Around you.
Can someone save me
Can someone save me
From the blood on my hand
From the time in my head
Oh, holy wine
Give me the strength the strength to run
I know that we can get by but I can do this better on my own.
You’re like pawnshop jewels
You turn my fingers baby blue
You came and made your mark
Then you left me in the dark
And I know that I shouldn't care, But I do
Well if that’s the price I pay
It still hurts in the same way
And I’ll always feel this way around you
I’ll always feel this way around you
I’ll always feel this way around you
I’ll always feel this way around you
I’ll always feel this way around you
Around you.

Only Nature

I took a bite of life and nearly choked
It wont let me go
Just let me chew this on my own
Oh here we go
“Why do you take drugs?”
“You drink too much”
“Waste all your time”
“No exercise”
Stay up all night, draw the curtains blinding light
Try change my mind, my broken mind
Shiny broach and yellow pin
Tiny Speckled medicine
Now I can feel anything
I don't care
“You can't grow a plant without a seed”
The wilting trees,
Are the only nature that I need is to help me sleep
“Why do you take drugs?”
“You drink too much”
Try change my mind, My broken mind
Shiny broach and yellow pin
Tiny Speckled medicine
Now I can feel anything
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Shiny broach and yellow pin
Tiny Speckled medicine
Now I can feel anything
I don't care

Ekimae

You wouldn't sleep in earthy flesh with maggots in your mouth
So don't you dig that hole into the ground
I will go by flames instead, that decimate my limbs
My human vessel ends where it begins
Skin cells they glide on the air
Lightwaves shapeshift to warm colours to help me exhale
As I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes and let myself go
Deep blue skies i’m questioning how the world turns round
How all these beautiful colours exist in my eyes and how I hear sounds
How I let love grow and take control of my mind my eyes and my hands and my feet
How I was more of a father to my own father than he really was to me
Skin cells they glide on the air
Lightwaves shapeshift to warm colours to help me exhale
As I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes and let myself go
I let myself go
Yeah!
The birthdays, the holidays
I’m glad we did this together
I left my heart at Ekimae
If I could i’d roll back the time
It's just a shame how the time flies
From the first day, to the last day
As I close my eyes.

Monster

You call me at midday
I’m still waking up
Counting creases on my face
I’m coming unstuck
It doesn't make much sense to move
If I can't spend my time with you
I've got a hole in my pocket
The one where my spare change rattles around with my youth
(It rattles around with my youth)
It doesn't make much sense to move
If I can't live my life with you
And I can't, oh it's sad but true
I’ll still be ever dependent on you
Stood here like a bubble stuck here waiting to burst
Like i'm frozen in one spot and my legs start to hurt
There’s weeks where i can function, my mind seems to work
But if i stop for too long i'll probably blow again.
And I, when did I become a monster lurking in the dark?
Oh but i’m getting by
When did I, When did I become a monster lurking in the dark
Oh but i’m getting by
Stood here like a bubble stuck here waiting to burst
Like i'm frozen in one spot and my legs start to hurt
There’s weeks where I can function, my mind seems to work
But if i stop for too long i'll probably blow again.
And I, when did I become a monster lurking in the dark?
Oh but i’m getting by
When did I, When did I become a monster lurking in the dark
Oh but I'm getting by.

Is this what I'm destined to be?
Maybe I am, maybe i’m not
You know i'm not listening i’m picking my teeth
And I can’t hear your words but they’re dragging on
Yeah, they’re dragging on
Are you the pains in my chest?
Are you this diet of cigarettes?
Are you the two hours sleep every night?
All my friends think i’m losing my mind.
Another three hours sat in my car
I can look in your eyes but I don't know where you are
But I can feel this collapse in my arms
If I took all the weight from my shoulders I still wouldn't get very far
Things went swimmingly until we drowned
I guess what goes around comes around
Since I met you i’ve not been myself
But i’m getting tired of being someone else
I’m getting tired of being someone else
I’m getting tired of being someone else
You will speak, but I won't listen
The words they blur and change position
Real life doesn't always make sense
As I fall in and out of past tense
Are you the pains in my chest?
Are you this diet of cigarettes?
Are you the 2 hours sleep every night?
All my friends think i’m losing my mind
Things went swimmingly until we drowned
I guess what goes around comes around
Since I met you i’ve not been myself
But i’m getting tired of being someone else

Evergreen

There’s a place beyond the fracture and its evergreen
There’s a place beyond that still, it’s almost suicide
I had a hat full of dreams, but I gave them all to you
Another storm is rolling over me and it's raining bad news
You know your parents hope you don’t end up with him
He’s been selling drugs since we were only kids
I know i’m not the kind of guy you had in mind
But I'm the one who picks you back up every time.
“Take it back to the middle, this is the best part” She said.
“When I hear this song the fog just empties out of my head”
Built to spill, if I said that I would do it then you know that I will.
From the bedroom, to the altar, to the hospital.
I know your parents hope you don’t end up with me
I’ve been selling drugs since I was seventeen
I know i’m not the kind of guy they have in mind
But i’m the one who gets you fucked up every night.
I know your parents hope you don’t end up with me
I’ve been selling drugs since I was seventeen
I know i’m not the kind of guy they have in mind
But i’m the one who gets you fucked up every night.
You know your parents hope you don’t end up with him
He’s been selling drugs since we were only kids
I know i’m not the kind of guy you had in mind
But I'm the one who picks you back up every time.

Happiness
02:26
|

I’m alive I guess that's reason to get dressed
I felt the summer in my cheeks, I felt the winter in my chest
Oh, but lately I've been thinking myself to death
I’ve been picturing you in a wedding dress
I won't sleep if you won’t
No I won't sleep if you won’t
Until normal life resumes again
Sleep is inconvenient
You were like a seed inside my head
I felt the bloom, I felt the growth and I felt it end.
But what you gave me, oh baby, I won't ever feel again
Oh what i’d give,
My god, what I'd give for that happiness.
You showed me beauty in places it shouldn't grow
You showed me ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’
I wont sleep if you wont
No, I wont sleep if wont
Until normal life resumes again
Sleep is inconvenient
You were like a seed inside my head
I felt the bloom, I felt the growth and I felt it end.
But what you gave me, oh baby, I won't ever feel again
Oh what i’d give,
My god, what I’d give for that happiness
For that happiness
For that happiness
For that happiness

Oh I was born
Under the waning moon
No special lights
No fanfare to welcome me to this life
Left by myself
But you steered me right
Time after time
It feels like more than friends
When I wake you're here again
Nightwalker, and I
Bring me kindling
And I'll set something alight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
I couldn't be sure
How could I know?
There's no handbook to guide me to my goals
Left on my own
But you steered me right
Time after time.
Nightwalker, and I
Bring me kindling
And I'll set something alight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking
Oh I was born
Under the waning moon
But you steered me right
Time after time
Nightwalker, and I
Bring me kindling
And I'll set something alight
'Cause I'm sleepwalking tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Godspeed to you our lucky boy
We were barely 25 but we were wise
Time ticks, the decades blow right past our eyes
I still wish godspeed to you our lucky boy
Think of all the songs we left behind
The melodies hide between my memories
If only you could hear what's in my mind
Just think of all the song
Think of all the songs
We wrote in the basement beneath our kitchen
In a house that was crumbling away
Did we write all these words just to take them to our graves?
To our lonely graves
Tell me your pity stories
Sell me your sad goodbyes
They fed my appetite
Yeah, they fed my appetite.
God speed to you our lucky boy
We were drinking stolen wine and getting high
And I read those words in every single line
I still wish godspeed to you our lucky boy
We wrote in the basement beneath our kitchen
In a house that was crumbling away
Did we write all these words just to take them to our graves?
To our lonely graves
Tell me your pity stories
Save your sad goodbyes
They fed my appetite
Yeah, they fed my appetite.
Think of all the songs we left behind (x4)
I remember life without a shadow
I remember pictures in the rain
I remember sinking into your soul
The night we knew we'd never be the same
I'll break the ice then break my back to break the awkward silence
You'll take it all then take the high road, you're taking all my patience
And I'm sorry about the weather
I'm sorry I can't make it right
I'm sorry he left you with holes in the walls but we're doing fine
I've been waiting all night for you
I've been waiting all night for you
I've been waiting all night all night for you.
I've been waiting all night for you
I've been waiting all night for you
I've been waiting all night all night for you.
Think of all the songs we left behind
The melodies hide between my memories
If only you could hear what's in my mind
Just think of all the song
Think of all the songs
Just think of all the songs we left behind.
