I felt older trying to pay all my dues to people that I’ve left behind trying to make it in this future.
I’ve been searching for the perfect thing to bide my time when I spend four weeks all cooped up in my bed trying not to feel so overwhelmed.
“Were you thinking that this picture perfect, movie magic scene was easy? Was tangible and real? How long have you been gone?”
“For too long”
“For some time”

This is me in my own house,
without a comforter or a heater.
(I've been around here somehow)
The notes that are lying on my phone,
tell a story about my last beer
(You've been around here somehow)
I didn’t black out the whole night,
was just watching and staring at my computer.
(I've been around here somehow)
This is me sitting on my couch
just watching the good things disappear
(You've been around here somehow)
maybe it’s in the week,
hope I didn’t get too irrational
the pressure caught up on exceptional
ratings, in my nerves and bones I’m shaking
and I’m not sure
if I could fall asleep another day
and wake up feeling not afraid of tomorrow
I’ll read a book inside my shithole
If I’m not so sure
I’ve got you, if you pick up
I just didn’t know what I would do
This is just, I got so fucked up
by all the things that you could do
maybe it’s the weed,
tell me that it was all intentional
it’s probably all the attention you’re
just getting, didn’t fade away as you’re leaving
we’re just not sure,
if it was just another transient love
or the passing of my other love
forget it, read a book and learn about it
if we’re not so sure.

Some Sort of Kismet
03:16
|

It’s so weird how our paths return to intersect at these ‘oh so oddly’ opportune moments for extended periods of time. Is it some sort of kismet or am I just overthinking this again? I don’t know if you know… is this all too absurd for us?
“Hey you’re here too?” “Cool, nice” “You too”
Tell me that you knew
Tell it to me
Or push me away
You know that it’ll go on and on
So I’ll just say:
“I don’t love you anymore”

Our Song

You never want me to call this off
you never want me to sing this song
wasn’t a sophistication
we were just superstitious
you pulled the scab right out of my skin
and let it bleed for another week
it didn’t hurt me at all
I just had to spend time alone
Why didn’t you just close your eyes
and put your lips on mine
But when your neighbour opened his door
we heard the barking that came along
it wasn’t a pleasing anthem
it was their whole intention
We never really get along
from all the fucking that seeped through the walls
we crossed eyes and it feels awkward
and it was just pretty obvious
Why didn’t you just close your eyes
and put your lips on mine
We drove around town that night
you drove me mad that’s right

Subiaco

Enveloped in your apartment
With nothing much to do
I could try and walk to Hampden Road
But I wouldn’t have a clue
So I found myself in Subi
You weren’t there because you were busy
With amalgams and you’re fixing a front tooth
I see your Daniel’s Thirty
When I streetviewed to your place
You said “slow down before the roundabout and stop here just in case”
You know I would restart again
If some things still were true
So I ducked my head behind the screen
To make sure no one knew
But you were there to see me
I wouldn’t even bear to leave
But I’ll be gone by Monday’s noon
I couldn’t see it creeping up on me
So I feel...

If I was someone special, would you take me for granted? I don’t know about how I felt or what to call it any more. What happened in those four weeks? I would’ve told you everything.
If I was only speaking on behalf of what everyone’s thinking, what would you say to everyone? That everything you’ve ever felt was never meant for anyone? What would you say?
If you were only being someone that everyone’s seeing, then it wasn’t enough.
If all I knew was everything to you, then honestly I know nothing.
“You know… truthfully, if years go by and I stop waiting by my door for you or for something to occur before my eyes… then it’s hard to believe that time stood still back then.”
“Oh hell no, what’d you say?”
“That it’s hard to believe that time stood still back then.”
I’ll just pretend that you’re not here.

Drunk Call
03:04

I found in the dark side a miracle,
never thought that it’ll be so magical.
But if I was talking to her,
she must be talking to me
But it was 5, 6 AM I thought
that it was earlier that
night, I tossed and turned
in my bed but it was the light
that woke me up from my cell phone
tonight, wishing that you would have called but I was silly that night
I found in the dark side a miracle,
never thought that it’ll be so magical.
But if I was talking to her,
she must be talking to me
I sat on the edge of my bed alone,
wondering if she’ll call at this hour
it was over before that I would knew it,
it was over before that I could see it coming through
and I, wish you were the monster
by my bedside,
at least i still have you tonight,
somehow I can feel it,
somehow I can know that it was you.
I know that it sounds so crazy
but, I could tell you knew I was drunk last night
if it was the tone of my voice,
or it was me telling you I missed you?

My Good Nine

I was following the rules till
I forgot who I was for myself
I was following the signs that pointed to a picture of you and I
Could you pass me some papers and a pen
So I can write you a song about how
I saw you at New Year’s
You were with some friends
Laughing by yourself
Do I have to say the words to you
Or can I mime my way out?
“Nagasawa doesn’t have a clue about who knew about our love”
You…
We had dreams
I had dreams but now they’re gone and so am I
You...

Ashley

I’ll go if Ashley will go
I’ll meet her before; we’ll get some food then
I’ll tell her all she needs to know
I hope I don’t mess this up again
I know that everyone knows
Don’t leave me alone
I’ll go if all my friends go
Don’t leave me alone
I’ll tell them all they need to know
I hope I don’t mess this up again
I finally let go… so leave me a…
All this time I’ve always felt so insecure
It stems from all the times I’ve never cared to say
Anxiety looks over me so comfortably
I sink and swim in your many types of depression
I don’t need those moments that are magical
I’ll be by myself - don’t stand so close, you’re scaring me
Facing every conceived possibilities
I will go if Ashley never ever comes
Something settles over me

I don’t know you
I don’t feel you
I don’t see you
So if you’re leaving
Tell me sooner
And I will be there
