learning logic, made disss:

I used to have things to say
Metaphors to explain
Felt I knew my place

Now my rhymes aren’t smart
Keep talking about my heart
And it’s driving me insane

I am not unique 
Plenty more like me
Maybe harmonies 
Are contagious 

Maybe I’ll try to find 
Something new inside 
I’ll start flicking by
Old pages

But for now it seems
Nothing’s left for me
So predictably 
I preach

There’s no clever twist
Or a catch you missed
Just a lyricist 
Loosing sleep

Loosing Sleep - Single

Losing Sleep

V1
Suddenly, you’re a first responder
when he calls your name
Left me hanging, while I wonder:
has anything changed?

V2
And the nights are getting longer
Walking home alone again
Yes, I know I’m getting stronger
But I still feel the same

CHORUS
And I’d like to think that an emergency would send you running my way,
but it’s not how I feel when I’m sat by myself at the end of the day
It’s not something I could complain about, not that I would anyway
Just know - that I’d be there for you, but returning
the favour’s something that you just wouldn’t do
And I think that’s a shame 
Oh, what a shame

V3
Suddenly, I’m a little fonder
of the disarray
But your words are getting under
my skin, when you say:

V4
You’re not looking for a lover
Just a game to play
So, I’m heading undercover
or I’ll go insane

CHORUS

BRIDGE
So now I realise, the inconsistency 
though I appear fine, I’m damaged underneath
so won’t you hear my - pessimistic plea
but oh I realise, you owe nothing to me

What A Shame

peachy indie keen demo thing

I’ve been watching movies while I bathe
anything to try to escape
wash away
the boring silence

I’ve found they really ain’t enough
anything to try and make me laugh?
my lonely bubble bath
oh so quiet

jack of all trades
master of some
the only one that got away

now I’ve all 
the time 
in the world

the most
well educated
 girl

distract 
myself
from the hurt

my favourite pastime
I’ll be fine
make it work

pastime (acoustic demo)

won’t you let me give it a go?
hold you gently just for a moment
'til something explodes
didn’t ever know

how easy
it could be
i’m on the edge of my seat
no need 

to know
where this goes
i’m comfortable 

with uncertainty
certainly used to be 
hurting me
but not anymore...

anymore (acoustic demo)

lower the needle
i guarantee you’ll
turn the table
once again
and i’m unable
to pretend
i don’t care

scratch the vinyl
you i’ll
just wait a while
through repeats
in denial
of the damage
slip the sleeve

i’ve had enough
of jumping on my tracks
turn the volume back

have a day off
from playing on my mind
you’re taking up my time
jesus christtt
scratched the sides
the broken record in mind

vinyl denial (broken record)

one passing smile and i’m hooked
i didn’t know i could be so enticed
your teenage love left me shook
i didn’t think that i could end up like
all the rest
but it’s for the best 

here we are, you caught me out
don’t feel so above it all now
I’ve come this far, I thought I’d missed out
on teenage love, let myself down
look at me now
i used to think 
i had it figured out

teenage (acoustic demo)

do u wanna come over?
promise that I’ll be sober 
does that matter to you 
man without a clue 

think I’d like to stay over 
pick me up in your motor
i’m sorry, I keyed it 
you wouldn’t believe it
i’m not sorry, you’re horrible 

we can meet at the one stop 
get some beers and ocbs 
don’t police me please, 
nerves trembling my knee-he-he’s...
...a man without a clue

he's a man (demo)

V1
When we slow danced, to no music
I felt a rhythm, the whole way through it
Because you helped me find my feet

We may not yet, quite be soulmates
No for that we’ll both have to wait
But either way, I’m glad that night you stayed

CHORUS
So I’ll say its just a fling
That its not the kind of thing
That will last

And though that might be true
I could never say I’m not
Glad you crossed my path
ohhhh…. 

V2
When our eyes met, on the dance floor
I knew that I would be needing to see you more
For you helped me find my feet

Sadly we can’t stay together
We're out of sync with our feelings, we’ll never
be, and I know that you agree

OUTRO
I hope one day,  we’ll meet again
and realise this was just how things were meant to end
Yeah I just needed you to help me find my feet

hey bailey
