verse:
cradle my head
lull me awake
don't tear me from my deepest mistakes
live in my shoes
wear away the souls
turn me into the worst that you have known

open mouth to the sky
sentimentally you lie
drinking all the promises you made to pass the time
here are my bruises
can you compliment the lines?
scattered like toothpicks on my open-arm skyline?

case my lids in lead
i'll fall to meet you again
you'll always be a second choice so you scrape on by the skin of your teeth
she says you are her everything
but she thinks she's all you're worth
i listen much too carefully to alcoholic verse

am i a problem you must fix?
what made you think that was your job?
am i a prophecy to test?
a pretty face to prove you wrong?
a silver-lining to the cloud of drunken infidelity?
is that all you see in me?
well i'm ready to be more than my memory.

Every Sober Mumble (demo with different piano)

lyrics:
let's lie in the hallway
unfamiliar bodies
you'll say that you're sorry
I'll say that it's nothing
outside here the cars race
I can hear my blood chase
its own tail in my veins
tell me you want me to stay

The Opening Of Flowers (2016)

lyrics:

You used to laugh here
We used to talk in there 
Now you just haunt the stairs
And it's not fair
There's a cold spot on that chair
I sit diagonally next to the radiator
You're all the same type
To blow up the best things cause you think you're right
Only you're allowed to suffer
Everyone else is holding the knife
Do you imagine yourself interesting
Just cause you find everyone boring?
There's always something to prove to the loose screws
And always something to lose, it doesn't phase you
And you were never there when I needed you
Always prodding at the bad glue

Elegiac

lyrics:
It's been that kind of day
Didn't want to breath your air, so i stayed inside
yeah I heard you're moving on
and its really the way to go
but that's too grown up for me, i know

To think I found it charming once
the slick replies, the paler lies
now they just die when they oxidise
i wish you were a fool but i don't pick so lightly
i wish i didn't go that day
would i have met you anyway?

how do people get so badly wired?
its so few years that you've been alive
you build up the ones you like
til they're an idea and when that slides
poison the light you shine

Charming, once

for Grandad and David
I miss you
this song helps

lyrics:
one more wasted morning
when I could be holding you
to my side
somebody stop this joyless joyride
I'm feeling older than my thirty-five years

one more cryptic message
thinking that I might end it
oh god, you must've woken up
to me saying that it's all too much
I'll take it easy with the morbid stuff

oh honey, I'm worried about you
you're too much to lose
you're all that I have
and honey I'm worried about you
put yourself in my shoes
you're all that I have
so please don't die
wherever you are tonight

all these pointless benders
with reptilian strangers
my god, you're so naive
you'll leave this world in a drunken heap
who'll make the arrangements, baby
them or me?

oh honey, I'm worried about you
you're too much to lose
you're all that I have
and honey I'm worried about you
put yourself in my shoes
you're all that I have
you're all that I have
you're all that I have 
so please don't die
wherever you are tonight

Please Don't Die (Father John Misty cover)

half-demo

lyrics:
Things have to stay feeling wrong 
Or what the hell was it all for?
It has to stay wrong
Or why am I back on the floor?
Summertime is empty
Give me bad dreams
Give me hauntings

O happy dagger
Let me rust, give me peace
Oh, does it matter
If I bleed? It was well meant
O happy dagger
Let me leave, or just breathe
Am I only alive
If life is mean?

[if you can ever take me at my word
Then I'm ignoring all your faults
I'm still hanging on
It's an old disease I've caught
Wintertime berates me
Give me back sleep
Give me something

O happy dagger
Let me rust, give me peace
Oh, does it matter
If I bleed? It was well meant
O happy dagger
Let me leave, or just breathe
Am I only alive
If life is mean?

O happy dagger
Let me rust, give me peace
Oh, does it matter
If I bleed? It was well meant
O happy dagger
Let me leave, or just breathe
Am I only alive
If life is mean?]
