Stone cold, brave face, don’t let them see pain
Write it out, throw out, don’t let them read you
Scribe life, other’s fight, don’t engage in them
You can’t control this, you can’t change this
But at least you can love it for what it is
Almost, nearly, don’t lose what you hold dearly
Vacant, piercing, don’t lose the feeling, however searing
Broken, sunken, don’t lose your notion
You could be great, you could try on a clean slate
Give yourself a fair shot at expressing what’s sacred
Even if they don’t flinch, even if you lose it
They’ll learn to love you if you lend them patience
Hey, it was hard, but I’m really proud of us
Hey, I’m really proud of us
I know I never said it enough
Read books, smile through, do what you want
Kiss girls, love her, do what you chose
Laugh loud, live now, do whatever, you won’t lose
Cause I promised you
We’d be proud real soon

That young girl gave you the treasures
She gave you this courage
Who are you to pretend she’s alive
Her memory is in death
Her memory is in what you all did
The execution of a lover untainted
The evidence was unappointed
A jury and trial unnecessarily in order
They plead guilty at her corpse
Who are you to care for her
Her death is a memory
What you did is forever in memory
You have sealed what you are
Don’t feign otherwise

To be so possessed by the look in your eyes
Entrenched by the furthest reach of your smile
Struck unmatched by the hair at all lengths
Your body an anchor I sorely detest
Chaining me to in the waters I fear to sink in
But find painful to swim and float at a distance
If love is a secret, then I cannot be transparent
Will a chasm close in the wake of honesty
Or shatter tenfold in the might of the truth
And who but ourselves can decide this transpiring
Do I tell you of eyes and smiles and
Loose strands I’d like to tuck behind your ears
And gently confess what love I have for you

When no one listens to the words I speak
All I can do is keep on radically talking
Hoping that one day, someone will love it
And every damaged thing I've had to say
That was lost to time and lost in memory
Maybe then, a soul will have truly known me
For there is no greater significance than understanding
So comprehend me for nostalgic enterprises
I’ll keep radically talking even when you’re not listening

Harmful behaviour, suicidal messengers
Friends fear descriptions I gave as a pledge
It’s natural, but they don’t understand
Some days, I’d rather be dead in a ditch
Not that I could actually kill myself
It’s impossible to do, for lack of resource
It’s not like it matters anyways
For a coward like me
There’s pit of sadness, called depression
But what’s a label gonna do to help
Can’t remember when it started
It certainly hasn’t ended
Can’t be well articulated
It just envelopes everything
Stretches on inside me endlessly
None of it is special
Run in circles of this element
Contentedness is sorely imbalance
But you know I can’t be fixed
My friends, they learn to hate me
My therapist, they lied to me
Got no rope to tie a noose
Got no gun to shoot myself
Got no car to buy those things
My licence for death was uninspiring
I’m so perfect but I wanna die all the time
I hate myself just thinking about it
Monitor me until I get a proper solution
But don’t worry, I won’t do it

I hope you yearn for me, the same way I yearn for death
A displaceable ache you can never forget, but often dismiss
Is ignorance not the finest of natural bliss?
I hope you love me in the way that a spindly tree sways
A rooted individual still left to the wind, but object to change
I wonder if you still think of me like this
I hope you hate me, the way I aim the pistol at my chest
A need to commit but fear of it
Is it a leap, a jump, from where you are to get to where I’m going?
I'll never know in my eternal conflict of cyclical hoping

You need to be better than you were last year
If you were sick you need to heal
If you were dying, well you should be living now
And I need to be better than the day before
I need to be better than I was a few seconds ago
Tell me if I'm failing, tell me if I'm improving
Will I finally reach the top of the ladder I'm climbing
In a year or two or seventy three
Give me it straight or I’ll surely recede
Because it’s been four months and I can hardly breath
In this makeshift dream they made for me
You need to be better, they simply repeat
We’re supposed to have achieved and earnt our leave
If not better, than I’ll fall from grace

A cornered creature, animalistic fervour
Stay away from the girl, she's lost her humanity
Somewhere in the haystack, among the stash
Her wild eyes and unleashed honesty
Will surely lead to detrimental disease
But you’re the one who tore me apart
Cracked open my sternum, and cackled with thrill
Repurposed my parts, my organs, my love
All of it sold from your ancient garage
Did I consent to it willingly
Did you slam it upon me
Guess I'll never see it, the light was fading to fast
I’ll never know if they were right all along
That I dragged you down into the cursed depths
But you’re still the one who caged my heart
And made a creature cornered by humanity
Stole my wild eyes and unleashed honesty
With your unmoored brutality

Lonely people love their tea
The bitterest of company
Lonely people hunger to create
A friend to let them rest
Lonely people stare at glass
In hopes that it’s a window pane
For a lonely person to stare right back
And I’d sit on the other side forever
Starving with only a cup of tea
Waiting for you to appear

I've got so much inconceivable rage
So I apologise in advance
In case you're the person I explode on
With all the misdirected anger
In the heat of maddened lunacy
Should I fail to convey any sweetness
Or comfort and connection
Should I splash out on fine alcohol
And leave you at the bar stool
Because you know I do it cause I love you
That’s what I told myself when I did it
When I broke you down and hurt us both
Isn’t that the way life works
To watch you go while I seeth in rage

Don't need an angel to tell me
I am doing everything wrong
But I'll make an exception
If that angel is you
I mean, was it too hopeful of me
To think that I'd be happy by now
Was it too arrogant
To think that I'd be okay
To think that I could be fine with living
To think that you wouldn't tell me the truth
That life sucks and I suck too
Because all I do is make myself cry
For no viable reason at all
If you cry along, that makes two
Inhuman creatures weeping for wrongs
Made of angels and monsters
Far too alike

You always thought I could do it
That I always had it in me
The ability to be anything at all
With a face for film
With a mind for the industry
Cut and paste who I want to be
Scrape apart who I need to be
You never could comprehend me
As well as you believed
But I’ll blindly follow if you lead
Even down a bad path
For the soil is sodden and damp
With the beat of a drum to tap
When I forget the melody
Of who I’m meant to be
I could never comprehend you
As well as I believed

Oh, little boy
You got some sad, wide eyes
That I have too
When they told you
You're too young to have experienced true heartbreak
What did you do
Did you throw razor blades on your skin like paint to a canvas
Did you let your mother read your phone contacts in horror
Did you show them that we've been sad long before any heartache
Little boy
You got some sad, wide, lonely eyes
They don't quite match your youth
When I told you
I'm still getting older but it hasn't changed in the slightest
You already knew
They always say, it gets worse before it gets better
They never say, it's best before it's worse
Who's gonna admit, the worst lingers longer than the best
Oh, little boy
We both have those sad, wide, lonely lives
But I'll take you for ice cream on the pier
We'll pretend that it's fine
Even if the world tells us otherwise

Roll the mat out on the dirt
Make a scientific hunch
Test your hypothesis
Just how far can we take this thing of ours?
Unpack the wicker basket
Make a mathematic scheme
Bend the limits of rationality
Just how far are we willing to take our words?
I know you play it safe, by the book and equated Earth
You forecast the breaking up of tectonic plates
I’ve been experimental, spontaneity affronted
Just how long can I bask in your hours?
Roll a season out on a line
Unpack the fragments of a time
We’ll be spinning in an otherworldly crime
Just how far are we gonna go?
