'I'm fine'
There is a river that runs through me
But I can’t see its colours shine so brightly
I keep them all so confidential
And all of the breakdowns so existential
‘Going mental’, the mind’s so fragile
Can’t it be easy like it was when we were kids?
You grow up, some days stare into the abyss
But there is nothing like true happiness
You must hold on to happiness
When ...

'Listening to Elvis, thinking it over'
I wish I knew what to say
I look for words
But they just escape me
I look for a sign, everyday
But the faith I feel, it fades away
Set the alarm, wake up and keep on going
But all the while, my tears are flowing
What about the love and joy that I felt in my heart?
Please don’t tell me we’re destined to depart?
Elvis’ dulcet tones, makes its way right ...

Fool's game
Fuck it, I will let myself fall
I'll allow my stupid heart to get broken
Hopefully you're worth it
If you're not, then perhaps I deserve it.
You could be everything
You could be nothing
You could be the highest of highs or the most epic of lows
You could be my ebb, you could be my flow
You could be just one night
You could be the love of my life!
You could b...

Lets talk and talk some more on your living room floor,
delibarating til' the clock hits four
Sweet tobacco scent,
your soul is up for rent
Our birthdays they fall in the same week,
I can feel the signs in the way you speak
I told you I'm crazy,
you told me you liked it
I knew you weren't lying.

Abolish anger (it's a wasted emotion)
So much beauty
so much anger
so much comfort
so much danger
so much hate
so much love
so much push
so much shove
so much warmth
so much cold
so very young
so very old
so much intelligence
so much ignorance
so much despair
so much bliss
I can feel it in your punch but I'd rather it a kiss.

This heart
Where the hell are you?
I've been waiting for what seems like my whole life
I can't get it out of my head
I thought by now I'd be someone's wife.
Nothing turned out how I thought it would
Is it for the best, for the greater good?
Why is the heart such a fragile thing?
With every rejection I feel the sting.
I look in the mirror but it ain't me looking back

My love
My love, I let you down
I promised I'd be there but started to drown
My love, I was in over my head
Why did we pass ships at night as we climbed into bed
My love, the only love for me
I just want to say sorry, I am so fucking sorry
My love, I see your face everywhere
There's not one other face that could compare
My love, my beautiful friend
You were ...

As Winter looms
They tell you to try with all of your might,
But it's the things that you least expect stealing your sleep at night.
As we descend into the darkness of winter, my mind is lit up with thoughts on 5th November,
I look back, I remember you, I remember
.
Walking to Oxford Street all alone,
the people that pass by, they all seem like clones.
It's not long until they have somewhere ...

Blue Movie
It's better when I write things down,
I can be more meticulous.
Then I remember you called me a child and said I was ridiculous.
Perhaps you shouldn't have made yourself so inconspicuous,
it could be said that we would not have got into 'this'.
You picked at the conversation and I gave my participation.
I rather wish I hadn't for now I'm left anticipating.
Did the Indian Ocean pi...
