Lyrics: 

I love your playful way 
But for goodness sake 
Stop playing with me 

All your little breaks 
I've taken all I can take 
They don't break fair

If you don't feel that spark
Like a bolt through the heart 
Then let me know 

Because I am the kind of fool 
Who will play things cool 
And act like nothing is wrong

All my self-esteem 
Floats away like a dream 
It's time to wake up 

This is a losing game 
Like tears in the rain 
It will all wash away 

If you disagree 
well, come see me
And prove me wrong 

At least show the decency 
To say "I love you"
Or to say "so long"

I love your playful ways 
But for goodness sake 
Stop playing with me

Long Gone Dark

Playful Ways

Lyrics:

Looking down from up on your 
sunny cliff-top
It's the call of the void that makes you 
wanna jump off
And you kid yourself to thinking
you'll get caught 
But you'll fall and fall 'till bones 
turn to chalk 

This is where love decays 
day by day

Julie if you knew me at all 
you'd run away 
Julie if you knew me truly 
you wouldn't stay 

So don't be so easily fooled 
by my painted smile
Even the evilest ones 
still have style
But i'm a hollow shell
with a rotting heart 
The greenlight I looked to 
has long gone dark 

This is where love decays 
day by day 

Julie if you knew me at all 
you'd run away 
Julie if you knew me truly 
you wouldn't stay 

Julie, run away 
please don't stay 

For this is where love decays
day by day

Lyrics:

It's a long, long way to go alone 
But a bird can't fly if it's tied to a stone

All the time I have wasted in vain 
Only I can be held up to blame
With you I'm light, with you I feel my spirit change
But how dare I expect you to carry my pain
You carry my pain

So long live you 
My fearless queen
I bid you adieu 
I only dull your sheen 
My fearless queen

I cherish the nights I spent beneath your wing
Through my whole life, they were the only good thing
Now I'm cursed to always be wandering
But I'll bless your name every time I sing 
Every time I sing

So long live you 
My fearless queen
I bid you adieu 
I only dull your sheen 
My fearless queen

It's a long, long way to go alone 
But a bird can't fly if it's tied to a stone

Planted (Radio Edit)

I worked in Tesco when I was 22 for 9 months. Once I started getting paid I would drink 6/7 nights a week, mainly in bars around the town. Other nights I would go back to the garage, with a bag of cans and a 50 bag of dat herb, and work all night on wee tunes. This was one of them.

jesus, i hate working in tesco (2016)

are you looking for a friend? cuz im taking applications
i just need your name, and a good imagination
as we solve all the equations and have endless conversations
cuz the more im by myself, the more i lose motivation

so maybe you should know some things about me
i like writin songs, minecraft and anarchy
and im lookin for a friend to go get bubble tea
but ive got some scars so please dont fall in love with me

have you ever gone to royal oak or the diag?
do you wanna learn a thing or two about the zodiac?
we can stay up late at night watching cult classics
and if we play bananagrams you'll get your ass kicked

and emotions, im badass with those
ill be the first one with the tissues for the snot from your nose
but right now im by myself cuz i aint got any bros
so drop off an application and we'll see how it goes

Job Opening

they told me I was made for something, said that I could be the best
and that I could get this lack of purpose feeling off my chest
so I worked all day and night and put my powers to the test,
but I found my only power involved missing out on rest

i heard that its a journey that you have to take alone
but i think im seeing blurry cuz i dont know where to go
i love the way we feel until we both get off the phone
cuz everything seemed easier when we werent all alone

dont know what im spose to do
quarantine aint nothin but keepin me from you

they tell me i should do some excercises, 15 minute stretch
do some meditation, yoga, and a dietary fast
so I woke up 8 am each day, but sadly here's the catch:
found my natural tendencies will try to emulate my past

ive tried to be a stronger man and take this thing alone
but I'm tired of fake emotions and i need a hug from home
i love the way i feel when i can make my feelings known
but the weeds of doubt are choking me and man they're overgrown

dont know what im spose to do
quarantine aint nothin but keepin me from you

Lyrics:

My heart is a chocolate bar 
On the dashboard of a burning car
At the side of the road, making a mess
My thoughts go 'round and 'round
Like moles dug deep down underground 
So it's always been ever since you left
Nothing else quite passes the test

And I've tried to live like I never knew your name
And I've tried and I'll try again
I'm lying to you when I say
I'm doing ok 

I while away my days 
Lost in the midst of a lazy haze 
Waiting for a song to hold on to
I retract behind the stacks
Of paperbacks and photographs 
And feel like a kind for a minute or two 
But it's all ersatz compared with you

And I've tried...

I just can't swerve this cure
It's rolling on from bad to worse 
There's no hot iron that can smooth this sea
Last night I had the strangest dream
Of pretty colours in perfect stream
A diamond sky and a crystal breeze
But it's all ersatz to me

And i've tried...

My heart is a reservoir
Filled to the spill with thick black tar
But I'm settling in with every year
It's all ersatz from here
