The Pond

Everybody please just stay the fuck inside
This isn’t over
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
I don't give fuck if its nice out
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
Do your part, just order takeout
Everybody please just stay the fuck inside
FaceTime just don’t come over
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
Go to school and do your work online
Only way were getting out
Is all together
Stay home, just relax
Wash your hands, wear a mask
Why can’t you do that?
Is it too much to ask?
Just sit on your ass
Go home, this shit won’t last
Being lazy and fat’s something your good at
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
Watch Jurassic Park for the hundredth time
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
Memorized every single fucking line
Everybody please just stay the fuck inside
Like there’s raptors out there
Everybody needs to stay the fuck inside
Think I might’ve lost my mind

This Isnt Over [demo]

Calm Down

(Week 04)

Lyrics:
i reach for the sky
it reaches for me
i want to see more
i climb over the hill
and visit the sea
on a boat that i ride

and I want to be on time, today is the day

so far it's been a really nice day
and if i check my watch it says it's nine
and i wasted the whole damn day

so i thought about how
how the night turns to day
and the day turns to night
i don't care if i give up
don't care if i survive
it's all in my mind

it's a perfect example of how we have been

so far it's been a really nice day
and if i check my watch it says it's nine
and i wasted the whole damn day

The Whole Day

CHORUS: 

There's millionaires in charge, yet hungry children
We've bitten off the face to spite the nose
The hand that feed's receding, though the hand that thieves ain't still
There's clearly something wrong here, and it shows

So you want to win a contract from your Tory chums?
Well there's just one thing to do
No need for tender process, expertise, or even skill
Just donate another grand or two

CHORUS

So you want to be a minister, and run the country?
Trade, Education, even Health? (or more...)
Relevant experience? No, journalism's fine and dandy
The only entry bar is wealth

We'll take, take, take from the world and we'll never give much back
We'll give, give, give to the wealthy, but never the poor 
Fuck business, except when the business is ours
Time to amass more powers than ever before

CHORUS x2

What Makes Britain Great, Again?

to be, to you

Every day I catch the train
and so do you
When we pull into your station
I watch for you
I watch when you get on
I watch when you get off
I watch when you sit down 
and when you  take it out

Ivanhoe 
He’s gonna hold you in his arms and never let go
Ivanhoe

You open to your page 
and you’ve left the train 
Your in medieval  England
with your knight again
I’d be no good with a sword
I’d be no good with a dagger
but I’ve taken a knights oath
to talk to you
before you’re through

Ivanhoe 
He’s gonna hold you in his arms and never let go
Ivanhoe

Our journey’s near its end
And you close your book
I stand and clear my throat
And you turn and look
What I need’s fortitiude
What I need’s bravery
What I need’s in a book
but it’s not in me

Ivanhoe 
I can't even bring myself to say hello
Ivanhoe

I'm no
Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe

We’re going to take it back 

There was a time when I was so sure
That I could trust anyone next door
Not to be part of an alien mass
Not to follow any hateful mind

‘Cause if history has taught us anything
Was to never let down our guard
For people stealing our future days
While trying to bring back the past

But we’re going to take it back 

There was a time when my head was fine
That I could trust any friend of mine
Not to join such a brainless flock
Not to live in a rewind clock

‘Cause if history has taught us anything
Was to never let down our guard
For people stealing our future 
While trying to bring back the past

But we’re going to take it back

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

Verse 1:
So many more songs that need to be sung
All I need's a voice but all I get is voicemail
Parents still paying your phonebill

Verse 2:
And do you recall?
Chilling with us?
After you left, we all broke apart

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

Verse 3:
And the only thing that sticks with me
There's an easy way out if I want it
I try to keep my mind off it
But some nights I get lonely

Verse 4:
And if I'm being honest,
It's why I don't drink so much anymore
I'm running out of excuses,
Some nights I know that I'm a loser

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

So Cold

I pulled a muscle yesterday
It’s not worth asking me to change
Recalcitrant
I hate to be the bearer of
my news.  

Suddenly
this feels like a warning
about everything
my nails dug in have made me
cowardly
a scar etched in the side
of a sedentary life

but I was born to hold
this suffering down
until it dies with me

Hydrophobic membranes
it’s not worth remembering the names
of the medicines
they change with every company 
that I keep

suddenly
the depth of the water
frightens me
a cosmic change has made me 
cowardly
i’m embarrassed for myself
a penny pitched in the well

but I was born to hold
this suffering down
until it dies with me

made all mistakes in the name of progress
still soggy from the rain but I’m coming in I guess
sopping wet

but I was born to hold
this suffering down
until it dies with me

Hydrophobic Molecules

For r/Songaweek (Jan 21st to Jan 27th)

Lyrics:

This dimension is my stomping ground
I holiday in others but this one I hang around
I can see all the futures and where they interconnect
And if you wanna gamble on that
I'll take that bet

I raise up mountains
And raze them back down
I bring forth floods so my enemies drown
The blood of ancients in my veins
I can grant you riches, I can take away fame

Yeah, it's true
The Devil wishes he was me
I'm the King of Rock N Roll!

I'm not Canadian, or Californian
Altogether alien I'm mythical next of kin
Always mining for thunder no matter what sky I'm under
And always coming up gold, ha ha

I seek out fortunes that you have forgot
You reap to sow but I've sown, reaped and wrought
Laughed in the face of army advances
So what'd you reckon are your fuckin' chances

Yeah, it's true
The Devil wishes he was me
I'm the King of Rock N Roll!

I'll drink a gallon of gasoline just cause I can
Keep tellin' you, I'm no mere mortal, man
I can bring about eternal night or eternal day
Oh when I stare into the abyss it looks away

Yeah, it's true
The Devil wishes he was me
I'm the King of Rock N Roll!
