My first single, enjoy

Words:
Certain something surface-level capsized
Looking like a deer in the headlights

Why d'you only call me when the money's right?
Why d'you only love me when we're inside?
When I ask you questions you get tongue tied
Questioning yourself when the shark bites

I won't give it much more time
I hope with each day you realise

Learning to reflect like a cat's eyes
Learning to apply myself

Maybe I've been rooting for the wrong side
Maybe didn't give you the attention
How did my conscience learn how to lie?
Did you give me chances? Did I waste them?

I won't admit to my mistakes
I hope to understand all these shapes

I won't give it much more time
I hope with each day you realise

--------------------------------------------------------------

Shapes

Words:
As I'm growing old
And there's not much time left
Will I forget how to be bold?
Will I forget how to be fresh?

I won't hold my breath

Come on over
Nothing's going down
My job is a joke
I must be a clown
If you're still sober
Cut off my left side
Even if I'm wrong
I'll always be alright

I turn my back
On being young
But I'm not even 20
Am I too young for this song?

I will bite my tongue

Come on over
Nothing's going down
My job is a joke
I must be a clown
If you're still sober
Cut off my left side
Even if I'm wrong
I'll always be alright

Bite My Tongue

By Jed Hughes
WORDS:

You may be
A rose between
Two thorns, but fate
Says "one thorn
"is a rock
"the other: a hard place"

Wish you had a choice, now
Just a beggar with no voice now
Searching for alternatives, for options
Before you start considering adoption

You have the wrong to remain silent
They say your intentions are rightfully violent

Add some fear
To having fun
Conversely, you get no retribution
Chance of rights?
Slim to none
Fight all you like not all ovens want their buns
Some bakers are scumbags
No formal training in baking, that
Makes me mad
The oven knows if a bun is bad

If this was a sport
The ball should be in your court
But there's two in the other
And they are used to make you a mother

I wish you had a choice, now
Just a beggar with no voice now
That's the fault of the truth's contortion
Nobody really wants an abortion

You don't belong in jail
If you didn't want a bun that would come out stale

Add some fear
To having fun
Conversely, you get no retribution
Chance of rights?
Slim to none
Fight all you like not all ovens want their buns
Some bakers are scumbags
No formal training in baking, that
Makes me mad
The oven knows if a bun is bad

You may be
A rose between
Two thorns, but fate
Says "one thorn
"is a rock
"the other: a hard place"

Buns
