Lyrics:

Everyday I walk,
and something changes about the way I do
Sometimes I'm small,
sometimes I have become completely see-through
Weeooh weeooh weeooh weeooh...

Everyday I look, 
and the eyes that I see through are filled with glue
dripping down to the ground that I walk onto 
Weeooh weeooh weeooh weeooh..

Whenever I feel like I'm chasing the tide
I wish for better days as they pass me by
So - whatever your worries - know I've got the time
Since it's all in our heads: just say what's on your mind

Everyday I listen
There are ways that I'm swayed and there's something new
playing round in my head to my favourite tune
Weeooh weeooh weeooh weeooh..

(I'm stuck like glue, but something new will pull me through these blues
And be unstuck with you
I'm stuck like glue, but something new will pull me through these blues
And be unstuck like you)

Glue

I wrote this a few months back and recorded it a couple back, this recording isn't perfect but it's still a song that's on my mind and I want to share it. Hope you enjoy. <3 x

The River

Say Yes - Elliott Smith Cover

Mis - Alex G Cover

Check out the video for this song here: https://youtu.be/cwwU1KB-ORQ

This is a song I've had around for a few months, it was initially a late night recording that then transformed into a something that I think is quite special. Thanks to my dearest friend Alex for playing bass on it.

Hope you like it x

Lyrics:

I'm hiding again
Lurking, something in my head
Switch it off, don't have time
Lights out till it's fine
Till he's fine

I'm hurting again
Aching, something in my head
Fuck it all, don't have time
Sleep through till it's fine
Till we're fine

Late in the night I was crying
But you know how I'm lovely
I'm learning I'm lonely

Speak to me softly, I need it
To know that you love me
You're lovely, I'm lonely



2016

Lonely

Sucker, you're a sucker for a scare
You're writing on the walls, all the shit that you fear
You're sleeping on your own again, and I wish you were here
But you're not, so I just dance on my own again, I'm alone again

Sucker, you're a sucker for a seaside paradise
But walls keep you in, so it's clear
You're sleeping on your own again, and I wish you were here
But you're not, so I just dance on my own again, I'm alone again

Listen here, I'm telling you what's right while I'm crying to myself
So you can sleep on your own again through the morning fear
Or maybe you should die on your own again, you're alone again

Meet me at the station, I'm ready to be together

Sucker

King's Crossing - Elliott Smith Cover

Summer days bring you from your bed
To the garden where we rest
And I liked you a lot more last year, but I still love you the same
So come on, let's go to the garden again

Garden

Lyrics:
Sweet, sweet, sweet
You said that I'm never sweet
I'm hazy
Tell me off for being what you don't want, baby
Tell me off for being what I am

Fuck you, baby
I don't think I love you anymore
You're crazy
And I'm so tired of waiting for this storm to cease
I feel diseased with you

Safe beside me
You said that you'd never leave me lonely
You said that you'd never go
You said that you loved me so

Fuck you, baby
I don't think I love you anymore
I'm hazy
Say goodbye and leave me for this storm to take me

Fuck you, baby
I don't think you love me anymore
You're crazy
Say goodbye and leave me for this storm to save me

Sweet

lil song I wrote and recorded a few weeks back. probs won't add anything else to it, so thought I'd share it in this very simple state. hope you enjoy! x

lyrics: 
i want a wall
a friend between me
between myself
it's for my health
hmmmm

i want a hand
to feel around me
to feel myself
to feel for feel for feel for what i am
aaaaammm

i want a lover and a friend
am i going to bed lonely again?

i want some peace

Between Myself

Lyrics

Rain makes me feel so strange
it doesn't do it everyday
but I know I feel that way sometimes

Pizza is my favourite food
I'm always in a pizza mood
but most days I eat something else

Julie brought me pills today
I like to take them anyway
but she was kinda mean
I think she's going clean

She snatched the money from my hand
and in a huff, she got real mad
Then she was really sad
so I just held her hand

Julie said she likes to cry herself to sleep at night
I said, Julie, I totally do the same
Julie, I didn't think we'd be the same
Julie, I didn't think you'd feel this way
Julie, how do you feel about rain?

Julie

Lyrics

She paints the sky, and all we see is red
If you catch her eye, be careful you're not dead
She thought she was stronger
She thought she was clean

I found myself without any 'recording equipment' this afternoon so made do with my phone and laptop microphones. This is a new lil song I wrote the other day. Hope you enjoy! 
Lyrics:
Smoking in your arms
I notice something
Breeding in the dust
Then time passing

Won't you stay with me? 
I'm rather lost
Surely this can't be me

I've heard stories about you
I hear them, even if I don't want to

I'm blooming
I'm tuning in

Dust

Lyrics:
I'm swallowing my skin
It tastes so good
On my tongue are memories of your dirty fingers
Please feed them to me
and you were lovely
Feeding me
and you were ugly
Bleeding cuts are all about me
Draining lovely little treats for me
Draining all the life I want to leave

Ugly

I'm in Nova Scotia
she's pretty, she's quiet
she smells like old pine trees
and gently burning fires

Here in Nova Scotia
summer's warm and wet
but when she's cold, she's cold
yet I wish I could grow old with Nova Scotia

My beautiful Nova Scotia
the only drug I need
she makes me high
on mountains I see
she's a sunset, she's a daydream

Nova Scotia

Lyrics:
Goodbye grey afternoon
I needed more from you
then you left too soon
It was a faint and pastel 
blue in the gloom
thunder in the deadened sky
singing nature's tune

Goodbye, tainted by the fumes
I wasn't waiting for the memories
they came to me too soon
It wasn't fate or colour
touching my cocoon
I was allowed to see a little bit
until this silly tune

How could I ever love something so sick?
How could I ever love so?

We're never clean,
there's always something

Lyrics:
Make me undo what I did
I'm not a liar, I am just a kid
My Mum is sick of hearing about my day
it's not what she wants, but that's okay
I do my own thing
do my own thing
I am my own thing

Lyrics:
Take all my air -
something's not right, or just not there
They think I shouldn't care -
I'll blame it on me,
I leave it there 
My giving was poor

Smoke in my bed
Dreaming of being there instead
Coz if it's in my head
I'll soothe it alright
I'll smoke till death
My giving so poor

Oh so unfair
I wasn't kind, just seemed to care
My corpse is over there,
covered in blood,
my guts aren't there
My giving was poor

Written, performed, recorded and produced by Bobby Kakouris

Giving

Am I me? Can you see me?
What a dream, to be only what you know
I thought I'd died, but I was sleeping

Make me sick, make me want this
Will it stick if I try this?
I'm not sad, I'm just seeing things how they are

Are you my friend?

I'm alone, I don't like this
On the phone, I can't say things
In the flesh, I am hurting
Leave me be, I am waiting for the right time

Time passing, I'm losing

Oh I wish that I could do anything
Nobody can tell me what's happening

Written, performed and produced by Bobby Kakouris

Anything

Lyrics:
Through the gate, I lose myself
I feel so safe here, I've lost all my fear
Is it strange how I've forgotten 
you and me 
and all my family?
If I have one

Sigh

A song I wrote and recorded a year ago now, accompanied by visuals by Emma Ralph.

Lyrics:
It's his work against mine,
maybe I'll do better next time
Oh I love as I should
Though it doesn't do a load of good

It's all orange in here
Interfere, just steal my time
But you can't take what I am
Not a fan of this,
are you, are you?
are you, are you
alright(?)

All that time I stayed inside
Is terrified
I know I tried
And I'll do better next time

Gracious - Ben Howard Cover

Lyrics: 
Back of my hand?
Hold the phone, can't recall
If only I could take a step to the back
and see it from another perspective
I wouldn't reject it
I piece things together 
A puzzle-piece
Weathered 
I don't know the time
and I don't have a rhyme for you
Sorry, I wish I could...

Open the door, enter into the mind
scroll through the clear little scenes that I find
and I will know what it means to me
all that I am and being
such a human being
Oh wait, what am I seeing?
All these categories
none of meaningfully
living inside of me

So, what of this feeling?
Makes me so confused
Easiest to think I'm just like you
Something I can't do

I've heard this all before
So what? once more
