sometimes my fingertips just arent good enough
textures feel better when i brush them against my lips
and i prefer my tea in the summer
in air conditioned rooms where the heat and humidity escapes me
i think i see the world a little differently
train tracks and jet packs are the soundtrack of my dreams
i’m a little too affected by what i see on tv
But my friends hang on my wall to remind me
that i am a subject of humanity
Am a chapter of reality
and i’m still tryna wrap my head around it
i’ve told my friends i dont think i’ll make it to 30
i’m not suicidal i just dont think it exists
i have this problem where if i can’t imagine it i won’t do it
and sorry mum but i can’t imagine having kids
oh i think i see things differently
the best thing about that kiss was the look on his face
and the best wine i’ve ever had was a four dollar bottle of gossips
but i play board games with my friends and they remind me that
I am subject to them loving me
am a chapter in our legacy
and i’m still tryna wrap my head around it
i don’t know why people live
and at this point i’m too scared to ask
too many nights of thinking of death
i hope this feeling doesn’t last
i don’t know why people live
and at this point i’m too scared to ask
too many nights of staring at the ceiling
i hope this feeling doesn't last

I'll Believe It
04:13

What if we run out of things to say
Cause I’ve tied my tongue to the back of your face
I guess it wouldn’t be too bad to cut it off
Cause if I can’t talk to you
I’d rather not talk at all
Why’d you keep calling
In the middle of the day
When all I talk about is how I’m scared of change
Well when you get to the crux of it
I don’t get why you say I’m your favourite phone call
But I’ll believe it when I see it
Maybe God is racist to aliens
And we haven’t seen any because She hates them
I spend too much time pondering the sky
And you never try to tie me back down
What if we run out of things to do
Maybe one day we’ll grow tired of my room
But I tell you
Even when you’re against yourself
My hands fit your hands perfectly
Maybe I’m just sitting here waiting for you
To change your mind
Because to be alive is to be awake
And these days darling I am just so tired
Good dreams are the ones that sting
And every year is an abstract thing
And your words seem to light the dim
I’ll believe it when I see it

loneliness comes quick and thick at night
punctures my lungs and holds me ‘til im sick with it
i just wanna be behind your eyes be the light
i wanna be what makes your face light up
but you won’t even look at me
i like you
please don’t leave me as number two
i know our moments have been too few
i like you
please don’t leave me as number two
let me wrap up your heart and stick it to mine with glue
oh i just wish you’d let me kiss you between the eyes
hold my hand feel my love til you’re sick with it
someone once told me i’m the first girlfriend type
but let me be your first, last, only lady
let me keep you up at night
i like you
please don’t leave me as number two
i know our moments have been too few
i like you
please don’t leave me as number two
let me wrap up your heart and stick it to mine with glue
has anybody told you
that you’re the prettiest girl in the world
i’m gonna tell you
i want us to be together
You and i are meant to be
like arts & crafts get stuck with me
compare our landscapes i want to see
how our hands fit together
be with me
i like you
please don’t leave me as number two
i know our moments have been too few
i like you
please don’t leave me as number two
let me wrap up your heart and stick it to mine with glue

Enjoy The View
05:01

do you ever feel like its all been made for you
i can’t imagine needing to impress anyone but you
are you the somebody
who’ll walk the long way with me
i dont know where we’re going
but i like walking unknown streets
i’ll stare at your cheeks for a while
and as you enjoy the view
i will too
when shadows shift from black to blue
and oxygen burns my throat
cut to me laying in my room
yearning to hold you dont you choke
how would your hips feel in my hands
wanna get too close and still before we kiss
nothing here but the sound of my fan
tangled in the white noise and tension of this
are you the somebody
who’ll walk the long way with me
I don't know where we’re going
but i like wandering unknown streets
i’ll stare at your cheeks for a while
while you enjoy the view
i will too

What I've Realised
03:57
|
|||
i think im in love with you
no not the friendship kind
and it's frustrating
there's always a them and
Never a me on your mind
cant say i'm interested in liberation
but validation might be nice
not sure if you know
but you turn the cogs behind my eyes
one day i’m going to explode and tell you everything
i’ll drive to your road, leave my heart with the mail, and go home
And although we never mention it
dont think i’ve forgotten
what happened with us years ago
spilled my guts in the front seat at 4am
why are all my love songs about you
one day i’m going to explode and tell you everything
i’ll drive to your road leave my heart with the mail and go home

Lately
04:05
|

lately i’ve been remembering
the way you held me
in my dark room
lately i’ve been remembering
the way your face felt
pressed against mine
and i dont miss you
i just miss how that felt
i couldnt miss you
you werent really anything else to me
lately i’ve been reading romance novels
and wondering if
if i’ll ever find someone so consuming
lately i’ve been considering
coming out to my family
but they wouldnt see me like you did
lately i’ve been missing
long walks on the beach
long drives where you couldnt stop looking at me
lately i’ve been missing
phone calls for hours
this feeling crushing me
and i dont miss you
i just really miss how that felt
and i might miss you
if you didnt turn out like everyone else
no i couldnt miss you
i just miss the fact that you wanted
to hold my hand
maybe i miss you
maybe i do
lately i’ve been missing you

Aftermath

a cough drop coloured day dream
wont let me sleep
i've been wrapped up and used
coughed out and bruised
got blisters on my hands and feet
from when i crawled into you
you spat out an easy lie
and now here i cry
trying not to think about us two
but what’s it to you
butterscotch flavoured nightmare
i feel as though i'm there
i know your fingers on my hips
and your lips upon my lips
felt a fire on my tongue and in the air
but i gotta say i'm scared
because my demons just woke up
and i need your help a lot
And i find myself with handfuls of my hair
oh you dont even care
dont think you regret it
no i dont think you'll ever apologize
and now in the aftermath of it
i sink in pools the colour of your eyes
but i wont drown
I know it’s hard but
i wont let myself drown in you
bittersweet scandal, loose ends
how do i tie them up
we'll try burning at the fray
i cant let you slip away
do u ever think that maybe
we fucked up
everything that we had
I guess you were never really mine
and i barely saw inside
and now i wish i never had

Radiators
03:50
|

I want to know the feeling
of never being close enough
the softest cheeks could sleep on mine
and our fingers dance intertwined
i’d know your mothers name
and hopefully she’d like mine
our proximity couldn’t be defined
but rain keeps falling
and my lungs feel empty
when no ones here
I'd say
lets get stuck in a broken down elevator
Fifteen floors up and no one around to save us
I would stay relaxed for hours
getting to know your mind
I could give you all my time
But rain keeps falling
and my lungs feel empty
and no ones here
radiators don’t do shit anymore
i need skin on skin to keep me warm
I need someone to not keep their hands off me
Slip into my cracks, keep me from shuddering
And love definitely tastes as sweet
As the romantic made it seem
When the world ends baby i want you to stay with me
because rain keeps falling
and my lungs feel empty
and no ones here
radiators don't do shit anymore
i need skin on skin to keep me warm
When the world ends baby I want you to stay with me
And Love definitely tastes as sweet
as the romantic made it seem
So when the world ends baby
i want you to stay with me

About You
04:52
|

my eyes are carrying the moon
the whole world asleep
in a sea of blacky blue
I'll have a coffee or two
the lights are softer at four am
than when i’m with you
my legs are cold but i’ll keep my fan on
summers on its way with heat unheard of
that heat is loud, but the night is silent
in its wisdom
i’ll probably fall asleep when the sun comes up
but about you
i feel like i have something to say
but my tongue won’t form it
just enjoy yourself anyway
i dont know if, i’ll
make it to tomorrow day
sometimes silence is my best friend
but tonight i hear the whispers
and i want it to end
cant remember the last book i read
dont let my brain turn to mush
oh you’re my only friend
i give you love and in return i’m confused
how many times do i have to say
i wish i never kissed you
history has been my teacher
but i havent been listening
i wish i wasn’t writing this song
but i wish there wasn’t anything wrong
with us

Final Words
02:20
|
|||
i cant remember what it felt like now
but when i feel it i know
lying in my bed for days
constantly feeling like i’ll throw up and i can’t eat
i wish i had the self control to stay offline
people keep tweeting things
that trigger me i hate my timeline
i’ve muted generic words like death I tell myself
just keep trying to rest
I can't imagine how much i bore my friends
“Oh no i can't see you i have shaking hands!”
and coffee makes me sick
but i’ll drink it anyway
I don't even like how it tastes
yeah i’m a dumbass by the way
what even is there to say
the feeling stayed but it changed
i know that i dont feel the same
and i dont know why
but i’m glad that im alive
