recondite
03:34
|
|||
|
I’m in
an olive green
dream
where I’ve seen
everything
that everyone
is doing
you’ve cleaned
your screens
but the worry
well that remains
the same
every day
the dream pays
a high price
for silent might
for recondite
I said no to the army
so I see it in their eyes
they roll back and forth
as I discuss my pride
but I hope they’re alright
I hope they’re okay
I cried
in the
falafel shop
felt stupid at the time
and even dumber
now
I clench
my brow
talk to family and friends
to feel better
whenever
it gets this bad
|

2. |
not so heavy
03:15
|
|||
|
holding on
there’s light
through this window
so calm
jumping jacks
behind hedgerows
I’ve got a coffee
in one hand
my phone in another
when i see your name pop up
I feel a flutter.
there’s a new
bright eyes song
so its hard
to complain
lets not curse
the sun
otherwise
we will see rain
if you’re lonely
just call me
if you’re worried
I’m here
lets FaceTime
have a drink
have a beer
and cheer.
twin peaks is on
and dinner
is nearly ready
lets make the most
of this night
so the day isn’t so heavy

blind panic
03:43
|
|||
|
i get it
you see it on the screen
and regret it
instantly
unleaded
fantasies
and faded
memories
are all here
you can cheer
all you want
poetic
tendencies
when confronted
with reality
don’t fret it
just play out of key
you can always
play for me
i'm stuck
in a blind panic.

tiger on the phone
02:55
|
|||
|
taken
by the
snow
foraged
alcohol
it's a feeling in your think piece
slowly sinking till you can't speak
trailing
undertow
focus
on getting home
there’s a tiger
on the phone
there’s a tiger
on the phone
it's a feeling in your think piece
slowly sinking till you cant speak
take five
you know where to find me
take five
you know where to find me

angry at the tide
03:31
|
|||
|
angry
at the tide
a perfect
chime
at 10am
the souls
are on the mend
the seabed is holding me
the sand it breaks in three
controll
and release
free
the plea
of perjury
faith
it plays
in rocks
and stones
the house at the end of the road is haunted
i see her everyday
everyday the same
her face is melting
the house at the end of the road is falling
deeper into the sea
one day i'll steal the keys
and find what’s underneath

blue leaves
03:56
|
|||
|
we’ve got blue leaves
take them as you please
they need a home
upon a silver throne
second hand
bought them from that man
who had rough hands
from playing in the sand
(wails in falsetto)
nothing is easy
when then the sun is freed
the ground it swells
with it's jealousy
we kneel towards it now
like a prophecy
we drink it all down
with urgency
we’ve got blue leaves
they never let you down
they tear and squeeze
the awful and the foul
we’ve got blue leaves
the other side is bare
turquoise fakes
you would never dare
|

a nice afternoon
01:28
|
|||
|
hey
I’ve got a hole in my day
hey
do you think you could stay?
i've got greek vegan food
and some records you can play
so…
what do you say?
hey
we could have a nice afternoon
sit back, relax
and lay in till noon
no need to fray
lets stay in today
come to think of it i think the plants need a spray
so... hey
what do you say?

staycation
02:41
|
|||
|
time for a staycation
lets stay another day
lets stay another day
lets stay another day
endless hydration
for this cough to go away
this cough to go away
this cough to go away
I need some perspiration
a hole that I can play in
a stoic realisation
a bow-eyed reputation
that faith can make a statement
that nothing is amazing
that life is just a daydream
that feelings shouldn’t faze me

if you take me away
from the phone tonight
if you bury it deep
like a dog
buries a bone
then we can be free
fortunately
I long to be
free with you
if you make easy bake
food when you're a child
does it stick
in your head
like a poem
does it make you believe
in your certainty
does it help you feel
safe at home
does it stop the fallen sky
does it save you and I
if we all could believe
in the same dream
in the same dream

i wanna be good at yoga
03:00
|
|||
|
i wanna be good at yoga
i wanna feel flexible and free
i wanna be good at yoga
but most importantly
i wanna be an artist
i wanna be an artist
i wanna be posed like a sculpture
i wanna feel the air beneath my feet
i wanna paint a four leaf clover
and see it appear in front of me
i wanna be an artist
i wanna be an artist
i want to hold the sea
and see it look back at me
i want to bend my back in two
and roll into a small balloon
i want to fade into a page
and see the lines begin to shake
i want to solve a petty crime
and cultivate my own wine
I want to wear a fancy cape
and see my worries melt away
i wanna be an artist
i wanna be an artist

full moon
02:40
|
|||
|
you’ve been
weighing
staying over on occasion
i can only hope
you do it soon
during this full moon
i’ve been out here
playing
songs
and praying
for some simple solitude
during this full moon
taking part is always scary
i was hoping that you could save me
when you’re on the outside
everything
sinks
folded letters
full of our endeavours
blessed within
we win
you’ve been
weighing
staying over on occasion
i can only hope
you do it soon
during this full moon

pizza dough
02:46
|
|||
|
let's head towards the kitchen
and make a pizza for two
then stroll towards the ocean
take a break and let it prove
let's try together
create our own refuge
if you fly with me
we can hoard garlic
for the move
if we wait for the sunset
we can wait beneath the flame
we can dance in spiral patterns
so it all can happen again

oh brother
03:30
|
|||
|
Oh brother
You’re making me feel old
Oh brother
The stories to be told
Thought ild be the only one
You only went and proved me wrong
Oh brother
When we’re in a crowded room
Everyone stops and stares
And wants to talk to you
I think you’re gonna be
A better version of me
We’ve got the same face
We've got the same eyes
And we told people we were twins
When it hit midnight
Oh brother
Wrestling on the floor
Oh brother
What our parents had to endure
We set the stage each day
To see who would be the strongest heavyweight
Oh brother
I went so far away
Oh brother
A three year Cornish holiday
Every time I came back home
I couldn’t believe how much you’d grown
We’ve got the same face
We've got the same eyes
And we told people we were twins
When it hit midnight

saving hope
03:08
|

|
saving hope
till we’re on the edge
a flowered scene
I’m incapable
set me free
an eternity
this room's so small
the sun blinds
if the world ends soon
we’re on a giant balloon
it just takes one pop
for it all to stop
for it all to stop
|

steady moments
02:55
|
|||
|
you steady moments
like a table and a chair
folding the truth
with aching flair
faithfully floating
through stable smoggy air
is nothing new
if you suffer with nightmares
say my name
say my name
say it quickly
nothings changed
you’ve always been thrifty
taking shots
at the ones you love
taking shots
when things are empty

Dusty playgrounds
And tiny cups of coffee
Sometimes I wonder
What’s stopping me
Heading back home
Heading back east
Heading back for the Easter feast
I don’t think they’d want me
Under the greek sun
I don’t think they’d need me
A charlie on the run
I don’t think they’d want me
Under the Greek sun
I don’t think they’d need me
A charlie on the run
I come from
The land of the Gods
I saw them
When I swam around her rock
All those birds
Staring down at me
All that sun
And humidity
I don’t think they’d want me
Under the greek sun
I don’t think they’d need me
A charlie on the run
I don’t think they’d want me
Under the Greek sun
I don’t think they’d need me
A charlie on the run

you get a hit in the summer
you get a hit in the way you said it best
you get a seasonal flutter
you get a fever whenever you take a test
take out the bins in the morning
take out the food straight from its little case
take out ya suit when you’re scoring
take out the spots that are growing on ya face
everyday
everyday
everyday
everyday

easter
02:13
|

|
the brightest of days
running away
easter sunday
burning some leaves
preparing a feast
hundreds of degrees
give me bread
give me a breeze
give me shade beneath a tree
give me nothing
to do
give me an easter
with you
|

26. |
say something cheery
03:31
|
|||
|
say something cherry
a harmony
throw something near me
sporadically
nothing’s gonna change the way
that power stays in
they’re hundreds of
hearts that can be played with
so pick a bone
mull it over
take another drink
freehand
handstand
standing on the brink
hop onto seasons
you wanna
you take it over

no retrospective reviews
04:36

spent my day writing
about all the people i want to be
do you think they will ever notice me?
if i was flung into their screen?
like a laser beam.
i think I’m running out of time
oh my…
no retrospective reviews
if i don’t make it soon
i don’t know what i would do
keep it going
keep plugging along
surely soon you will write that song
the one that will make everyone light up
the one that will open the heavens above
the one that will make you feel whole and complete
and free
we will see..
cliched and sad
that’s my bad
have these chords now been overused?
i’m screwed
nothing is new
and my voice
surely isn’t unique
i’ll keep working on the process
il keep making to make
just keep working on the process
create create create
i’ll just keep working on the process
il keep making to make
just keep working on the process
create create create
create
what can i say?
it’s all i’ve ever wanted to do
through and through

i've been awake for days
04:12
|
|||
|
you left me in a state
you left me in a state
you left me in a state
that I can’t escape from
forgot the endless race
left behind in a haze
you left me in a space
that I can’t escape from
I was feeling overwhelmed
didn’t wanna be a bother
find a penny in the well
and chuck it in the sea
following myself down a street
in a future dream
pack it away
inside my memories
I’ve been awake for days
I’ve been awake for days
I’ve been awake for days
but head has turned off
so hot in this small place
not good at remembering names
i’ve been awake for days
can you turn your phones off
|

|
what am I gonna do tomorrow?
what am I gonna do with myself?
all this time
flying by
dropped from
a high height
what am i going to do with my time?
got to hold on to something
something true
i gotta hold on to something
see it through
i got to hold
tight
things will
be fine
if i just hold
crossed-legged on the floor
my back is straightening up
i got some cold black coffee
filling up my cup
scaffolding is gone
the view is beautiful
all those takes
that were unusable
