Shiny Eyes

Buried deep inside
Shadow by your side
Creeping up behind
Like a noose around your neck 

The company you keep,
They worship at your feet.
Manipulation and deceit
Make poor bedfellows 

And when you're locked inside
Do you tell yourself you lied?
Do you tell yourself you believe yourself
Just one more fucking time? 

Do you tell yourself you've changed?
Reap rewards from others blame
Oh, the damages you'll claim
On this war on yourself 

You know she knows herself better than anybody.
She's going down, she'll pull the trigger
Yeah, pull you down with her 

No, I never thought to ask
Where you bought your mask
You're hoping it'll last
For your brand new audience 

But no-one ever sees
The forest for the trees
Yet you're turning over leaves
Now supplies are running low 

Well you've got them all convinced
Think you caught yourself a win
But you've run this show now a thousand times 
So better buckle in 

Cause we all know how this ends
Curtains called without your friends
Underwater with the bends
In way over your head 

You know knows herself better than anybody
She's going down, she'll pull the trigger
Yeah, pull you down with her 

How could we have been so blind?
Living with a snakebite
Scars travel across my spine
Living with a snakebite
Bleed the venom from my life
Living with a snakebite
How could we have been so blind?

Snakebite

Eventually (Dear John...)

I swore I'd never write one more love song
Then my heart mended and you came along
There were no fireworks or violins
Instead you broke it all over again

And oh, I never gave a shit
That's just life
Get over it
Oh, a passing of the time
There was no us
You didn't die
So get over it

You were a fleeting thought, an aftertaste
We were not made to last or keep the pace
Our fire burns but it's not hot enough
Hand on my heart, I know it just was not love

And oh, I never gave a shit
That's just life
Get over it
Oh, a passing of the time
There was no us
You didn't die
So get over it

Get over it x 8

Where will i find myself in one more year?
Should I just hide here undiscovered?
Where will i find myself in one more year?
Should I just hide here undiscovered?

And oh, I never gave a shit
That's just life
Get over it
Oh, a passing of the time
There was no us
You didn't die
So get over it

Get over it x 8

I swore I'd never write one more love song
(Where will i find myself in one more year)
Then my heart mended and you came along
(Should I just hide here undiscovered?)
There were no fireworks or violins
(Where will i find myself in one more year?)
Instead you broke it all over again

Get Over It

Whispers down the line
And now we're running out of time
And I feel sick
So sick
I'm throwing up the words
Just cause I'm struggling to be heard
Why don't you open up your eyes?
And realise

Time is moving on so quick
So let's rewind and figure out what makes me tick
The answer's written on the page
I need a minute so that I can disengage

The physics of it all
Says I should run before I fall
You drag me down
Dead weight
And if I've calculated right
Then you won't go without a fight
But a black hole's just a dying star

Universes will collide
And suns will fade and slowly freeze from the outside
The answer's written on the page
I need a minute so that I can disengage

So if the answers near
Why am I still here?
Why don't I just pack my bags and go?
Tell me, why should I stay?
You don't love me anyway
Cause always someone else gets in my way

Universes won't collide
And I won't miss you, no I won't let myself cry
You've been written off the page
I took a minute and let myself disengage

Disengage

Red and Blue

First new song in a while...see if you can guess when the plectrum snaps 😂

These Words That Go Unsaid

I wish I could find the plug, that spark
Be anyone, anything I want to be
Anything I want to be
And I wish I could find someone, anyone
That understands what it's like to be me
Cause after all

It's lonely here with all the paranoia
All the pills and alcohol won't change a thing
And though there's plenty in the world that can destroy you
I'll find a way to make things worse

I sabotage everything
Relationships, friendships, everything, anything you want to name
I've wrecked them all
And I've laughed, I've cried, I've hid from the world
I've fallen in love and I have denied
Oh such a thing

It's hard to let them in for paranoia
All the bad jokes that you tell won't change a thing
And though there's plenty in the world that can destroy you
I'll find a way to make things worse
