I don't want to peel my face off of Sunday morning floors Nor sit head in hands deathly bored I'm always searching in between myself now and who i've been For that idealistic place, time, thought-process best for me Your day to day dumbs you down Your tired head numbs you out into the same old haze You've said it all before that you'll never come around But you'll always come around You're haunted by the same old things Bottled up penance and bribery Living through the soon-former unrelenting dream Of yellow stains in place of veins Your skin recedes and falls away Lying paralysed, bed bound to the sound of giving up your name

All I ever wanted to do was write the soundtrack to your bike ride Now I'll be you and you be me Don't be alarmed I'm talking to 10 Speed About how to better write you down (better to write you out) So will you be Maria for me Spin silently I'll wind you up again and release Do you find old keys in pockets? Did you ever wash those jeans? Do you miss me beneath me your window? Are you still breaking promises? Promise me everything From a backseat From a passenger seat.

Sunfaded 03:00
I walked the night, the sky was red. Slept in my clothes and then I left I'll likely not return again, mail my important documents I need to renew my passport to plant my feet on Dublin shores Get overwhelmed//Stay overjoyed My Mother took your photo from the wall Now I just stare at the space, remain Sunfaded forevermore You packaged up all my belongings Left them by the door sun-rotting The cat cried on all the boxes It got to me more than I'm willing to admit I still find fur in my clothes Remember the view from the bedroom window Please tell your daughter I'll always love her Sorry that I couldn't do any better

A box of ashes on the corner table top Your glasses, a clock and a pocketwatch Two glass dragonflies sit aside, wings astride A friendship sinks, a bracelet breaks And in good time a bead of sweat streams down your face through a lie Love is great and all but god i miss the loneliness of rainy streets and the pig parade Clear these lanes today with tambourines and in one more drum hit i'll be gone Facing days in vain I once did tire of sleeping helpless, empty-handed of love you gave Whisper my name again, take my head and in one more drum hit we'll be gone (I told you i'd never be found out and I proved you wrong somehow) But you never did notice the same old post script Now you're running rings around me
5.
Awkward elevator conversations at least I tried That's more than I can say for you I'm tired of thoughtless people with nothing to say on anything, to anyone For now i'll just make sure that I take the stairs It's longer, that is true But it'll put an end to wasting words on the likes of you Given the chance to change one thing i'd have erased you from the start I'd take my time Move to brighter city streets lights And that way then you might have kept your distance and left what's mine to me So that I can be alone as I surely deserve to be I've been tempting fate as if it's something that I believe in at all I tell myself "it's okay, you're doing fine" As if I don't fuck this up every time I prepare for the handshakes and kindly words Knowing full well that you have heard it all a 1000 times But hey, could 1001 really hurt? Your day to day dumbs you down Your tired head numbs you out And that's as you deserve to be
6.
In 3 months when the house is boarded up and the kids are taken from, will you say this was enough? In 3 months, when all that you have got is some track marks covered up, will you say this was enough? Twin kisses Car collisions Near misses Abandoned Bridges Did you know that your daughter has your smile? The same you've had since you were a child. Teeth spilling out the sides, but now it's: You're cold in all weathers Losing weight forever Watch your intercostal recession Lie awake In your own piss for days Rattle and shake
7.
Do you remember the times you'd ride your bike through villages and turnpikes to see me at night? And I'd write your name in permanent marker on every lamp post in this fucking postcode So take me home With you I've got nowhere else to go Breathing slow TV on with the volume down low Recently it's the days sitting by the lake The summer makes your skin change Me, I just go from white to red to pale You told me of a place where beach and woodland embrace It would be nice to visit one day.

Panels 04:19
Wooden panels missing from the stone spiral tower A four foot bin for ribbons and flowers, what a way to praise the dead Loved ones passed with wreath bonfires and fine pine pyres Beloved friends, thieves and liars Things will never be this way again They'll never be the same again And my body aches like sweeter mistakes I lie and say that I've been up all night when really I slept fine When will I find myself on Loe Bar shores Penrose walks and families floors You're saying that time is money But money means miles Miles means distance Distance is fine by me When I wake up could I take a minute and watch you sleeping so sweetly beside me, so unlike me (consider this a change, a turning point I won't be vague or vacant, dismissive, I swear to only miss you if the terms I choose fall through) Are you tired of me? Because i'm tired of me

Celebrate 02:54
When I'm older, if my teeth are still crooked I'll pull them out one by one and check back to see if you're still complaining About the little things About the insignificant About how growing your hair out Never made a difference You're ugly on the inside Do you feel seasick First thing every morning Are you trying to convince yourself that everything is normal The cage is rattling The tiger's breaking free The water is rising There's holes in the ceiling With your palms//arms outstretched And your eyes closed Anticipating Celebrate
10.
I'll take an hour again (again) to clear my eyes and mind of burning effigies in the form of you Illegal stances living loveless and above the law Try questioning the things you do and what you do them for Avoiding letters, former friends and trying to make sense of pictures drawn of me and i'm not sure about how I feel towards the lack of hands I remind (you) You draw them in as if it never even happened Trailing a smog of cigarette smoke (I think i'll be walking alone) You whisper a shortcut that we could take (But I'll be taking the long way home) Your new obsession won't last for long (A haze of ephemeral days) I'm not worth your time or thought at all Forgive myself now for the clumsiness that now surrounds my every day with every step you're risking face to ground We'll get a chair, tie you up and belt you to it now Enjoy the view stationary, the sun sets around you I'm packing up and setting off and you'll continue to keep drawing pictures Until i'm back I won't know how to feel towards the lack of hands I remind you Draw them in as if i never even happened I tell myself that by the end of the year things will change By the end of the year nothing's changed Every fucking thing is exactly the same
