"Last breath of summer glowing fades into the big grey autumn sky
(the leaves are changing & so am I)
I prepare to lose the feeling prepare to overthink again
(the same cycle every time)
no one walks behind me
(but the shadows fall from the trees)
no one stands beside me

Mad wish kid

mad wish kid wish kid mamamama
Mad wish kid
mad wish kid
mad wish kid wish kid mamamama

life goes on
well you lied
I'm still dead inside
never learn 
so I pray
but it only fall on deaf ears

I'm so done with you I wonder who lost faith in who first
me or god, me or god, me or god
I'm so done with you I wonder who lost faith in who first
me or god, me or god, me or god

Mad wish kid

Imma make a wish

Imma make a death wish
Make-a-death-wish kid"

"Stumbling in, you don't know where I've been
but I can see through all the lies cut through them like a knife
pass me the blunt and I'll be blunt, man
if I die tonight its because im a stuntman
will I get home?

getting louder, voices are getting louder
so I dive head down into the powder
now my head in the clouds im a tower
in heaven now but not for long
tomorrow im in hell again feelings gone
feeling off feeling wrong
even feeling good feels wrong

and I know my time is up
cause I don't even know who I'm living for now
cause if it aint up to me how 
how is it good for anyone?
when I go through dont cry, when I go through dont cry, 
I'll be better off on the other side, I'll be better off on the other side

whats the point?
well I'm pointing at you
whats the point?
well I'm pointing at you
whats the point?
well I'm pointing at you"

"All I ever ever wanted, all I ever ever wanted,
all I ever ever wanted,  all I ever ever wanted,
(drive my car, far away)
All I ever ever wanted, all I ever ever wanted,
all I ever ever wanted,  all I ever ever wanted,
(drive my car, far away)

Drove down to the forest
carved a scar into a tree
but only a heart 
is what is left to see
drove down to the shoreline
I know I aint got a chance against the ocean
but that choice that is always there
is what it means to really be free

All I ever ever wanted, all I ever ever wanted,
all I ever ever wanted,  all I ever ever wanted,
All I ever ever wanted, all I ever ever wanted,
all I ever ever wanted,  all I ever ever wanted,

spend my summers like my money
I'm a runner I'm still running
spend my summers like my money
I'm a runner I'm still running"

"I know what you're thinking
I can read your mind
I can see your thoughts
I see everything in your eyes
ambition bleeds out on the page
we have entered a dark age
I can't see the soul in your face
so I head for the city

I arrive at the city
the air is kinda shitty
people trying to be funny
people trying to be witty
but maybe they're just trying to be vibin,
now I'm feeling shitty
at the train station, all these different sensations
watching two strangers kissing, I'm flinching
I'm twitching"

TRYING TO BE FUNNY

"They say write about what you know
well this is all I know
all I know is that I don't know nothing
so this is my way of coming clean
am I supposed to have a bone to pick with anyone or anything
for having skeletons in the closet?
'cause we all have to carry that weight
lets just hope the wounds heal with age as we wait
I really hope we can never be too late
cause life is like a blind day
it's full of wonder and disappointment
full of scammers and apointments

I often remember what I dream
and I realize its nothing but a blessing
and I was waiting for a message in the trees
but it was nothing except the air we breathe
but maybe that was the point
just like I'm here, singing this song
that really can't do nothing but maybe make someone feel a particular emotion
that resonates 'cause when the music is good
it can be just like a bomb that detonates"

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY

"Crazy night last night (crazy night)
I'm still tweaking I'm a weakling
catching feelings for my drug dealer
I think I might be falling apart

Brutal summer 24
still laying down in the snow
crushing rocks, I'm falling hard
on deck they call me, Mr. Card"

"followed white lines to the sunset
brutal summer girl in a sundress
golden slugs fire down
feel so stupid by the seaside
I need to be alone sometimes
but god is always by my side
I know I can't fix my life right now
but for sure I'm gonna try"

"Elephants marching to their parents graves
tears are falling down like rain
the plants are growing tall to the sky

So why do we tow the line like that?
between life and death like life's just a game
'cause some just ain't wired the same
they feel like life is lame"

"I let you feel that you are in control
but really you dont I hold it all
behind your back I got a joker card

is it too much to ask from a friend?
you know that I lead to a dead end
im counting brutal winters, brutal summers 
running out of hands
can't you see that its snowing again
and we're not even at summers end
I want to see stars shine in the midnight sky
not spinning round my head

I would go out tonight
I would go out tonight

I let you feel that you are in control
but really you dont I hold it all
behind your back I got a joker card

I'm tired of fighting, so I'll demolish
That's the way
Some make exhaustion a mode of expression
And that's the way
I'm just a question, knowing my answer
Hope I'm wrong
I know the answer, it's four in the morning, I'm right again
I'm Chinatown"

DONT MAKE ME GIVE IT AWAY

"autumn leaves falling down
autumn leaves falling down
call my taxi call my taxi
call my taxi call my taxi

these jokes are dead to me
I only sleep to run away into dreams 
I see red when you say the wrong things
stars around my head spin foreverly

talking to the birds like im avary
you are not my saviour your savory
eat your words cause you cannot flavour me
step into my world but it's make believe"

"Walking round the mall, fell in love with a mannequin
slowly slipping into darkness like Anakin
what was that? did you say sum?
I'm down at the lake throwing breadcrumbs
I'm the king of the birds, I don't care what you heard
when you speak I only hear words
she said baby you could be my world
but I don't think I'm ready for a new girl

spend my summers like my money
I'm a runner I'm still running
spend my summers like my money
I'm a runner I'm still running

its really been a lot
so now I'm crying in the parking lot
my life makes sense when I'm with you
now I understand why I always lose

summer's gone and split us in two
brutal summer
summer's gone and split us in two
brutal summer
summer's gone and split us in two
brutal summer
summer's gone and split us in two
brutal summer"

✩ Mayberry Movement - Two wrongs don't make a right
✩ Dwight Sykes - Where ever you are

"If you really are my friend
why are you trying to change me?
finally afraid to die again
this time around I want you to save me

I saw a silhouette
when I lit my cigarette
I saw a silhouette
when I lit my cigarette

but I couldn't make it out
but I couldn't make it out

In my house of glass
killed two birds with one stone
they were flying
they were flying above

I got a few regrets
its forgive but dont forget
there is always the first step
step

but I couldn't make it out
but I couldn't make it out

I stare right up at the solarbeam
and its staring back right through me
I stare right up at the solarbeam
and its staring back right through me"

"I look over the horizon
I can see her smiling to me
I know on the other side she's free
so Imma take a knife
Imma take my life
and I'll be by your side

I asked her about life, she said why bother?
She don't want to be a biography author
I thought damn I really fuck with her
Imma really do anything she tells me
She told me jump into the water
its warm and wet in the water
its so much better in the water
you don't have to suffer in the water

All I got is this broken umbrella
so how the hell am I flying?
well, I guess it doesn't matter
just as long as I'm headed for the eye of the storm"

don't hold your breath
so why would I wait
I will hold my breath
and I'll get 
sweet release of death

I get wet in the summer
wearing my crest
I look at my hands
I see through my eyes
Look up at the sky
feels so good to know you'll die

nothing is right, 
nothing is left for me
had a good run
had my good fun
its time to see whats on the other side
i had it up to here
deep in the atmosphere

if i look down

singing to the fairies its a fucking mystery
my breath smells like shit i need fucking listerine

damn my eyes and search my soul
dont know what im searching for
summer winter autumn spring
time keeps going wait for me
  
lullabies between the trees, try to listen in
angels floating in the mist, I dont know what they need
dancing in the rain like I know what it means
dancing in the rain like I know what it means

close my eyes and search my soul
dont know what im searching for
summer winter autumn spring
time keeps going wait for me

turn my eyes and search my soul
dont know what im searching for
summer winter autumn spring
time keeps going wait for me"

"breaking wind in the history lesson
takes me back to the battle of hastings
1 0 66 10 60 66
bricked up william hitting the licks  
miss my girl on my luscious lips  

Got a boner for life got a boner for life
got a boner for life got a boner for life   

just rock n roll things, the divine right of kings
having fun with my friends during this spring
1688 glorious revolution makes
willy of orange my rightful playmate   

Got a boner for life got a boner for life
got a boner for life got a boner for life

I step out of the liquor store, my time machine worked
I feel like crying but I suck it up like I'm spongebob
rock and roll, kicking balls, I gave it all
this is one for the history books
yellow-purple-sunset sky
I put one up and I block the clouds"

BONER 4 LIFE (ft. Ben Dover)

"some like to ask me what would you know?
had you never counted on your two thumbs?
to that I ask you are you alone
they'll never search your tomb?

barely broken after silly war you tow
when you were naked picked your bones

valium valley done

they said "dying is dreaming"
could it not be more than that?
but I just wait for the attack
I just wait for the attack"

"staring at the sunset shit gets deep it's may 16th
staring at the smoking label with three cigarettes in my kisser
dj ed unsigned listening to sonic youth sister
tune in to the otherside get my recipes sizzling
ear to the underground take the subway up to brixton
guns in your face locked and loaded 
rock my world michael Jackson style I was a shonen
2024 doesnt even feel like a real year
melt your soul summertime snowman
circling the drain like im food that goes to waste
if you dont want me get the fuck out my face
better off alone forever young that's my fate
if I don't take a step back from this railway
tonight im staying in room 13
I was only fourteen in 2013
my life has been a dream since I smoked OG
kush with a little bit of nightmare in between 
I feel fantastic like the robot girl
Imma need me a robot girl
staring at the sunset shit gets deep
autumn leaves falling down in the street
give me your number girl
girls from japan they fuck with number girl
shit gets deep
shit gets deep"
