It’s summer again I feel nothing again Time's gone by And I guess there’s just more to come Two years ago I was writing dumb songs in that upstairs room It reached thirty-seven degrees one day A melting guitar and a broken demeanour The moon was a memory and I was my own worst enemy Close behind was trying to make sense of that evidence content As I drove on home, for an hour at 9:30 on a Thursday night (Hmmm) Life is dumb sometimes It’s good to know we’re fine But what’s this water in my brain? Now I am writing the same kinds of songs but in a different room And this one won’t stay cool either Near melting guitars, life’s a broken facade or a record that spins Will it spin for eternity? I’ve got a degree that means nothing to me An opportunity, that some dad would die for their child to have Life is dumb sometimes I guess it’s true we’re all dying Oh life is dumb sometimes But what’s this life that’s in my veins? What’s this breath that I can’t shake? What’s this comfort in my pain? What’s this water in my brain?

I’m an architect You’re a gardener I have ideas you actually grow things You’re Aragon I’m ‘orc 17’ You save Middle Earth I just destroy things Your smiles are real You’re a butterfly I’m a taxidermy fox or a night owl You’re Central Park You’re Everest I’m nothing more than ever sleeping A great white shark in your spider web You make everything look easy I’m an exit plan I’m a dying man Everything I touch is dead These are the thoughts some brains have And I wish they’d go away

The Party 01:45
Is this even real? Guess I’ll work that one as I’m going Nothing as it seems Love, loss and death And we’re smiling How does it feel to leave the party early? And how does it feel to lose your only friend? The seasons never change You read all those books or you burn them I wish I could take it all back I wanted to what was right How does it feel to know the party’s over? How does it feel to let everyone down that you’ve ever known?

Silence I’ll be there All my options are out Lightning Take me Take me away I’ll meet you there With open arms, I will Honestly and properly Feel my heart Find me something good Find me something good Find me something good
5.
Sleep 03:33
Sleep now, there’s nothing that you’re solving No garden that you’re growing That could ever stay alive Until the morning time Longing for one connection As if it’s resurrection Or something that will save, save you from yourself Oh you tear your own heart out You’re everything’s nothing in doubt Despite all you know Just close your eyes for now As reason and nature they have made it Not as passion paints it I need to find a way To always be myself Longing for connection Despite my own direction Is not someone that I I ever wanna be So I tear my own heart out My lies die unspoken in doubt And for all that I know Everything is good

Supermoon 05:38
It’s not every day it comes in waves Sadness, longing and regret But let the water wash me clean again Days in the jacaranda tree Times down Hardey road with the dog And how we properly cried that day she died Oh I get sentimental About everything It’s not every day I meet someone like my mother Hope I never do you wrong In some ways I know I’m really just like my father And I’m sorry when I’m wrong Three houses, one year Twelve months I know I won't forget But that’s life That night the supermoon was shining I sat amongst the roses And I thought about the end and love and life and if it’s worth it at all I get sentimental About every song I write And this will be just another one A Bandcamp archive with maybe just one hundred plays But I don’t mind anymore Do you think that maybe there’ll be another? Oh I don’t really care right now ‘Cause there's no other, no other, there’s no other warmth that I require right now But it’s all, all just senseless All, all just a dream I’ve got all, all that I’d ever need All that you’d ever need I’m not in control I’m just one of billions of humans Just taking time to, taking time To try to make some sense of everything I’m never gonna work it out on my own

Take a photo of your friends and they will soon be broken up There’s one who kills and brings to life but that’s not a good picture You’ve got some kind of a nerve to take everything you that want and decide it’s good I take some photos of my friends and they are always broken up before I get them developed Was that ever love? If it was I’m dying.

I’ll never see you again You’re a memory or a dream Or a face on a screen once in a while And I hate that Stumbling around in the dark In a cold house that wasn’t mine I’d walk the dog, read a book You were on my mind some of the time Sometimes things get in the way Like commitment Like second thoughts Like fear Or like the ocean Birthdays they come and go Some I remember I think I might remember that one Maybe not And I took the long road home on purpose A few more minutes to talk About nothing for the last time It was only then that I knew Sometimes things get in the way Like water Like this stubborn heart Like a fear, of devotion Sometimes things get in the way Like water Like this wretched heart Like a fear Of a distance that’s real It separates us How could it do that to you? ‘Cause you, you, you’re a memory

It’s raining now like I thought it would Tell me true or I will take it down And then I know there’s no coming back Four more weeks then I’m finished Already know that it won't feel as good As I always said it would And then I will find something else That I can tell everyone ‘Oh this is what I do, it’s how I use my time… now’ Every day I am driving somewhere I could lose control of my car and crash And Oh, no none of this would matter

A god for the sorrow A god for the pain Tell me you love me and I’ll give glory to nothing, to no one, to me As though I create my own reality And as though I make music alone Food and water sustain me And my own thoughts they transcend But if so, then what can I sing to? And why do I sing? But I do I sing of death but I do not know it Of love but I can not show it I sing to the empty parts of me I sing to the cracking silence There’s a temporal ticking inside A perpetual tradeoff between what I like and what’s right It begins with a crawl and then I’m running Not even a head wind’s gonna stop me now So what can I sing to? And why do I sing? But I do I sing of death but I do not know it Of love but I can not show it I sing to the empty parts of me I sing to the cracking silence Matter only matters when we can’t control it More and more, we control it But we’re not in control We’re like frost that melts In the cold morning sun A cold sun is still the sun We still melt But I want to feel the warmth To be shaped by it To get lost in the depths of reality A Real Love I want to sing with conviction I want to sing to You
