Splinters

You’re in my body like jagged steel splinters
and I can’t stop pulling skin from my fingers now
Everybody’s fooled hook, line and sinker
I took a chance on a dangerous other
I didn’t know you were deep undercover
now Adelaide’s too small for the both of us
You’ve got some owning up to do
but I’m all out of time, you crossed my line
Who told you, you could act this way
and you could play the games you play?
You crossed my line now
Cash your cheque in the queue winner winner
but what’s the price of your victory dinner?
Now the plate’s full of poison and a lightning bolt
String me up I’m the perfect pariah
dark past you can paint me as the liar
you just lie all you like through your tears made of salt
You’ve got some owning up to do
but I’m all out of time you crossed my line
Who told you, you could act this way
and you could play the games you play?
You crossed my line now
You cried out for all our attention
but you’re in need of divine intervention
you can sail that ship to shore
but it’s not like I’ve never been here before.
Clap clap from my hands to my lover ooh
I once loved you forlorn fire starter
you can sail that ship to shore
but it’s not like I’ve never been here before.
It’s not like I’ve never been here before
It’s not like I’ve never been here before
It’s not like I’ve never been here before
It’s not like I’ve never been here before
It’s not like I’ve never been here before
oooooh

October

I haven’t slept since maybe October
and yes we’re all aware, I’m terrified when I am sober
but I’m not the one hiding my demons
I put mine all on the line, now everybody gets to be them
So you wrote a song
I know you’d love it if you saw the things it did to me
for so many nights
you spread the poison out so easily
You just wanted to help
you can say that I’m insane but you and I are not the same
But you’ll never tell
you’ll just lie amongst the leeches in the darkness wrapped in secrets
You pretend to be me
while you’re pretending to be
as innocent as you seem
I’m quiet in my defiance
you’re so loud over my silence
I woke up in a bad dream
Now while you chase butterflies and have the time of your life
I’m here just trying to get by
My god if your walls could scream about the things that they’ve seen
about the things that you hide
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
I need you, I need you to stop
I need you, I need you to stop
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la

Never Name

I wash my hands
the guilt has plans to stay
I’m not a child
don’t speak to me that way
I let him fall
I’m a finger on the hand that stole it all
from a broken hearted man
But won’t stand here and let them take me
I won’t stand here
they’ll never make me
I won’t stand here and let them steal
another soul from life, steal another
Mmmm
You wash your face
you still feel so old and so displaced
you’re the writing on the wall
But you’re no pariah
still you keep your circles tight
ignore desire
on the road they said is right
But won’t stand here and let them take me
I won’t stand here
they’ll never make me
I won’t stand here and let them steal
another soul from life, steal another
You love me, you love me not, don’t answer you’re all I’ve got
You love me, you love me not, don’t answer, you’re all I’ve got
Oh I, I won’t stand here and let them take you
no I won’t stand here and watch them hate you
I won’t stand here and let them steal
and let them steal
and let them steal
Mmm

Perpetual Propensity

Hold me up I’m falling
curse the town I’m born in
all their fingers pointing at the storm that came without warning
Talker, talker, talker you’re a real smooth talker
and the Oscar goes to the most incredible performer
Yes I’m fucking angry you tried to end me, tried to hang me
steal my spirit and them blame me
steal my identity and frame me.
I will not be silent, though you love me scared and quiet
coerce and control and then you simply just deny it
I am oh so very tired
I am lit up in your gaslight
unwittingly divisive
I am sadness in the choir
If it’s dangerous I’ll ride it
if I think it’s wrong I’ll fight it
you are steeped in hypocrisy
you really take a lot from me
it really takes a lot to see and expose all your fuckery
but I think it’s the job for me
I guess it might as well be.
Carrots, peas, Stevie please
I’ve known you since I was a teen
back when this nightmare was a dream
I just want to be believed
I am not the enemy but I’ll speak for my integrity
I want accountability from 2017
I bite my tongue so hard it bleeds
you take it all so easily
It’s taken the last years from me
I just want to be believed
you took it all so easily
I am ashamed, I was not free
I was not me, I could not breathe
so frozen that I could not speak,
my life is just a pillow scream
I beg, I plead, I do agree
it’s hard for you, it’s hard for me
oh when will everybody see
it’s not how it’s supposed to be
I fall, I scream, I laugh, I drink
it’s not even like what you think
it took so much for me to speak
to have it thrown back at my feet
everybody questioning
I guess this is destiny
it’s all a ride, it's all a dream
I wish it didn’t get to me
oh will it be the death of me?
Perpetual propensity
just because you didn’t see
it doesn’t mean you can’t believe
you think it only ever happens
when it’s happening onscreen
I’m on this train, its only me
this self fulfilling prophecy
but this is real life
and there are predators here
and they laugh
and they’re sweet
and they’re charming, sincere
they can sing, play guitar
wear the ring, play the part
but their intentions are just weapons
that they hide under a mask
vexatious, rapacious, invading my space
so that nothing is sacred and nothing is safe
and my words have been stolen
my existence is cursed
they know just how to hurt you but its all so covert
they’ve studied your weakness
like it was their teacher
and there’s nothing you can say to sway their brainwashed believers
they are not the fucking victim
but they sure know how to pick them
Hold me up I’m falling
curse the town I’m born in
all their fingers pointing at the storm
that came without warning

Chances

Time’s changing again
I needed a friend
you weren’t taking any chances
I was quiet and torn
in the eye of the storm
until I took my chances on you
you made me brand new
The truth, it comes with a price
held and locked in a vice
still they say it sets you free
so we speak more than before
and we feel louder and sure
oh but we made a few more enemies
It’s all been worth it
every bridge we burnt it
just to stand on a stand
honey you deserve it
still they call you liar
still the town outsider
they can think what they think
honey I stand by you
you can take my shoulder
to me you are golden
let it be, let it go
it’s like I’ve always told you
we can talk like old friends with the truth our weapons
let it be, let it go
and we’ll see what happens now
Let’s see what happens
let’s see what happens now, now
Time’s changing again
you needed a friend
I wasn’t taking any chances
You were quiet and torn
in the eye of the storm
until I took my chances on you
I’ll make you brand new, I’ll make you brand new

Famous

Rapidly we move from good to bad
I’m down here wasting every chance I never thought I’d have
everything they tell you, you believe
darling I’m so sure this life was meant for someone like you
not someone like me
But I can’t stay here
and you just want to be famous
slowly drowning me is your entertainment
Rapidly we move from fast to slow
I pushed away the deepest love I know I’ll ever know
Please just get fucked up and lie and tell me I’m so pretty
and how you love me for my heart not friends or songs or pity
But I can’t stay here
and you just want to be famous
slowly drowning me is your entertainment
I can’t stand how you wish that I was famous
stop your lies
drop this disguise
stop this insaneness
I won’t be leaving
somebody believe me
I won’t be leaving
somebody believe me
I won’t be leaving
coz somebody believed me
I won’t be leaving
coz my best friend
believed me
Believe me
Believe me

Another Word

We’re just passing time as comfortably as we’ve seen
held up in the space outside what’s come and what’s to be
I wait patiently in fear, I wait for her return
I speak far too much about it, I don’t ever learn
You bend your words until they break
it's more than I know how to take
you’re more than I know how to take now
I turn around, I hit the floor
I can’t trust you anymore, no I can’t trust you anymore
I don’t want to hear another word
Hold my hair, lean back and stare
I’ve let myself again, fall for all I try
I try, try so hard to forget
Charlie said don’t go to bed
I’ll keep you up all night
you stay mean in a cocaine dream
I’m too tired to fight
I’m too tired to fight
I’m too tired to fight
I’m too tired to fight
I’m too tired to fight
All my years, trying to be another and disappear
all this time, thinking love could be enough to keep you hear
(I’m too tired to fight)
Hold my hair, lean back and stare
I’ve let myself again, fall for all I try
I try, try so hard to forget
I forgive you
I forgive you
I forgive you
I forgive you
