✧ Lyrics
Don't wanna get ahead of myself
But I can't help it, can't forget how it felt
Life looking out from the back of the shelf
Playing it cool, tryna' catch my breath
Still I'm running in circles half of the time and the other half wondering why
 
Fingers crossed behind my back
Hoping that this time I won't crack under the weight
I'm feeling like a wreck, but when I look at myself, I know I'm better than
 
Last year when I disappeared
Shaken up and full of fear
It took a while for me to get back up
Back up, get myself back together
It's like we're going one step forward, two steps back
It's like we're going one step forward, two steps back
 
Don't wanna make a fool out of myself
But I just haven't seen proof there was nothing left out
Words hanging loose from the roof of my mouth
Playing it cool while I hold my breath
Still I'm swimming in circles half of the time and the other half wondering why
 
History repeats itself
I still can't get out my shell
And I can feel the pressure on my chest
But when I look at myself, I know I'm better than
 
Last year when I disappeared
Shaken up and full of fear
It took a while for me to get back up
Back up, get myself back together
It's like we're going one step forward, two steps back
It's like we're going one step forward, two steps back

Flaws & On Planets - Better Than

"‘let me’ is about how letting go is sometimes healthier than holding on. this song holds a special place in our hearts as we both wrote the song in a very tough time for both of us. we realised how important it is to realise that letting go, is all part of the process sometimes."
— jøno, JB Hain

"Droves is about futility, the distortion created by feedback loops, and the self-justifying nature of habits. It’s about the lengths that the psyche will go to in order to preserve the precious feeling of agency, and the absurdity of falling into traps not laid by anyone in particular, again and again." - On Planets

✧ Lyrics
we come and go, we come and go
a tidal wave of flesh and bone
we come in droves, we come in droves

so every day I stay awake
to watch the exodus of
somebody elses
wicking east, away
leaving with no trace but
empty houses on their frames
all the promises were made and they stay the same
and I stay the same

this is my way of serial life
serial days from serial nights
I can honestly say it’s a serious fright
that every wave is part of a tide
I’m part of a tide

at the end of the bay, the end of the line
every day it’s right on time
flooding the streets and carrying me
going out of my mind
we come and go, we come and go
a tidal wave of flesh and bone
we come in droves, we come in droves

so every day I stay awake
to watch the exodus of
somebody elses
wicking east away
leaving with no trace but
empty houses on their frames
all the promises were made and they stay the same
and I stay the same

this is my way of serial life
serial days from serial nights
I can honestly say it’s a serious fright
that every wave is part of a tide

we come and go, we come and go
a tidal wave of flesh and bone
we come in droves, we come in droves

"To Leave and Come Back is a constellation of songs about the many facets of love and its misplacement, solitude, naivete and hubris, but most importantly the absurd ways that they reflect upon and refract each other while the world spins endlessly. These songs span the course of many relationships, homes, jobs; in some ways, each song was almost written by an entirely different person than the last. However, each is an integral part of the story, and come together to form an abstract yet (hopefully) poignant picture of me, in my world." - @onplanets

✧ Lyrics
a glass of earnest to my breath
and I’d been laid down on my spine
you had my pages pinned open to the place I left off last time
I asked how long it was since I’d been on your mind
you just smiled and asked me
what’s the point in trying
if you don’t even like me

and instead of
I’ve been waiting for the sun,
eclipsed of my conviction
in anything I’ve ever really thought
might have been love
I just lied, said
darling, I don’t like anyone
it’s not your fault but don’t mistake me for a dove

cause I don’t mind
saying everything twice
if it means that my company can suffice
it gets hard to see the stars
but I could stay a while
for the night, for the night
or whatever you like
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright
I’ll be a satellite

saying everything twice
so my company can suffice
and I can stay a while
for the night
or whatever you like
I’ll be alright

✧ Lyrics
she speaks in acronym,
been sighing at the top of her lungs
she’s so convincing when she laughs and leads it on

and I’ve been rinsing off
all the colours of a love
that I picked up when I was certain I would never come undone

and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

it was a long time coming
still not long enough
but reticent as ever, she watched me come undone
and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

I hope I’ve learnt enough and haven’t fallen off
(I don’t love her)

✧ Lyrics
meet me at my sinking southeast corner
where I’ve buckled near the door
you know the one
we’ll scratch our heads and sort of sew up
where the sun shines
is there more where this all came from?
all I know is I’ll be
folding slowly forward
till the moment I’m not sure if I’ll be

fit to last a winter
sifting instants in my crooked, swollen fingers
minutes dripping through these
cracks between the things all said and done
leave me out, it won’t be long before I’ve
lost my heart to rust

it’s a cruel momentum after all
the price of patience paid in full
and the gruesome thing that 
peels my paint and fills my lungs,
is pulling me apart
and pulling me along

how the claws of cool inertia
coaxed me open, see how slow
I’ve come unravelled
so verbose but breathing shallow
finally humble, show my
stomach full of horrors,
haemorrhage thoughts as I hang honest
from these heels of all my plans;
it’s not as morbid as I thought
but I’m not

so I’ll take a jar of nothing
from that same old easy shelf
where I keep all the stuff that
keeps me off the
stuff that used to help 
did I miss some sort of signal?
what’s the difference if I did?
and how am I supposed to know if
I’m supposed to be convinced
that I’ll be fit to last the winter

✧ Lyrics
pallid and perplexed
finally I’m useless again
kicking up dust of
spent incense and dead skin

so I bask in the flicker of a ballast
and the cascading cataract of alice blue
in the shade it cast, so colourless and callous
I’ve never come here on a challenge or a balance, but

in whitewash of halogen
and at 6000 Kelvin
might forget how it was back then
but out of luck and out of context
I really miss your incandescence

listless and I’m spent
coffee stained and crusted at the edges
dragging my leash and looking for the end
trying to pick up where I left it

as I bask in the flicker of a ballast
and the cascading cataract of alice blue
in the shade it cast, so colourless and callous
I’ve never come here on a challenge or a balance, but

in whitewash of halogen
and at 6000 Kelvin
might forget how it was back then
but out of luck and out of context

I really miss you

lyrics:
It's been a long time
And I know
I've been down this road before
So why am I still here alone
Ooo, yeah
You think you'd know me by now
Oh, so how
Am I still here
I don't know me anymore

Yeah let's run away
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
Yeah let's get away
'Cause I don't wanna be alone

Yeah, I just need to find out how to leave this place
Looking for an excuse just to see your face, but 
I don't really know who I was before
Are you really here to stay
Please hold me close

I don't really know who I really was
I don't really know who I really was
Close
I don't really know who I really was
I don't really know who I really was
Close
I don't really know who I really was
I don't really know who I really was
Close
I don't really know who I really was
I don't really know who I really was

So why don't we run away
Yeah yeah
And go to another place
So why don't we run away
Yeah yeah
And go to another place
So why don't we run away
Yeah yeah
And go to another place
So why don't we run away

Yeah let's run away
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
Yeah let's get away
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
