cavetown & tessa violet - smoke signals (cover)

a familiar track, but a welcome, refreshing new coat of paint.

lyrics -
im a little behind everyone else
with legs feeling weak and numb
stuck at the bottom of the chain
with a bully in my brain

friend
im a lost little friend
head
in my head there is no end

my tail's shrivelling off my spine
with thoughts running wild in my mind
i'll figure this all out soon
i can finally be with you

bereft
im left here bereft
purpose
im lacking any purpose

i think im running out of time
but one day i'll catch up to you
the water's getting clouded
but i'll get there in the end

so if you were really my friend
you'd know i'll get there in the end

yeah i'll get there in the end

METAMORPHOSIS

sketchface - METAMORPHOSIS

LYRICS
Friend took me over
They'd lost one of theirs
Day could've been better
So could've theirs

Same fucking story
Same fucking songs
So fucking fragile
Same fucking day, again

I don't wanna see you go
I dread to think
Which of us will go

Cos I've got so many years ahead
But I already struggle to get out of bed
I'm walking to the bus stop filled with
Tonnes of existential dread

The world outside still freaks me out
Will a train speed by and take me out?
Is god there to supervise
Or is he just gonna watch me fucking die?

I don't wanna see you go
I dread to think
Which of us will go

soulbloom: an extended play.

sketchface - DREAD TO THINK.

LYRICS
I don't think that I'm built
For this
(Built for this)
Don't think you will be someone that I'd miss
(That I'd miss)

You said that you felt a little bit tired
(Felt tired)
You lied and slept with him in the bathtub
(The bathtub)
Now I don't think that I'm built for you
(Built for you)
Only took me five months to get myself over you

Now do
You see
What you've done
To me
What does
It take
For your sympathy

I can't keep living like this
But I won't stop living like this

I don't think that I'm built for this
(Built for this)
Don't think you will be someone that I'd miss
(Someone I'd miss)

sketchface - BATHTUB

LYRICS
Like it or not I'll stay
If you want you can turn away
But I will not wilt away

What's the worst thing I could say
Head in my hands I'll pray
But I won't disintegrate

Maybe eventually then
I'll break myself out of this pen
And follow my path again

(And)

While my flesh
Will rot
My soul's in bloom
Without you
Now with roots for hair
I pry myself from this chair

(various indistinct screams)

soul's in bloom

sketchface - SOULBLOOM

LYRICS
They held my face and then our eyes met
My heart screams yes but my mind is scared

I don’t want us to wilt away
But troubled minds can disintegrate

This song seems bland and I guess I’m through
With writing ballads that sound so blue
And maybe I could find a way
To pull myself and branch away
But I digress
It’s challenging enough 
Getting out of bed

I think I’m going to wilt away
But with you, I think I want to stay

Just hold me close
Don’t let me go
Most don’t stay
Don’t go away

sketchface - WILT AWAY

LYRICS
I don't remember when I last felt
Like a stable member of the human race
Skin softer than a chinchilla's pelt
And I love the way you hold my stupid face

I wish I knew what was wrong with you
God knows what the hell is wrong with me
That anxious part of me keeps saying I'm wrong
But around you I've never felt quite so free

Cos all I think about is you
All I think about is you
All I think about is you

So now I'm here writing a fucking love song
After saying that I wouldn't get so attached
And now I feel like I'm an entrenched limpet
So feel free to cast me into the sea

Cos all I think about is you
All I think about is you
All I think about is you
All I think about is you

All I think about is you (x4)

You

ALL I THINK ABOUT IS YOU

this title track was originally meant to be the closing track, but didnt fit with the rest of the albums vibe!

and i also didnt like how the mix/vocals sounded

sketchface - pseudonausea (remastered demo)

lyrics - 

sometimes i look in the mirror
and hate myself
only human error
“keep it to yourself”

sometimes i wonder
why i’m still alive
natural selection
lack of comprehension

i like the sun and
i like the wind and rain
things are complicated
life’s too complicated

where’s my motivation
where’s my sympathy?
demon on my shoulder
bored of getting older

when i can finally see your face
will i feel like a waste of space?
will i really belong in this place?
i’m not, but i still feel like a disgrace
you left your things all over the place
how can i not remember your face?

i find it hard to believe in destiny
but it’s clearly come to haunt me
just like in the stories
and every time i think it’s over
it keeps coming right back
can’t get off these train tracks

when i can finally see your face
will i feel like a waste of space?
will i really belong in this place?
i’m not, but i still feel like a disgrace
you left your things all over the place
how can i not remember your face?

when i can finally see your face (will)
will i feel like a waste of space? (you)
will i really belong in this place? (haunt me?)
i’m not, but i still feel like a disgrace (will)
you left your things all over the place (you)
how can i not remember your face? (miss me?)

sketchface - what do you think our ghosts make of us? (acoustic)

lyrics -
my first mistake
was thinking you needed
somebody to take the wheel, hold the reins, a parachute 
on the runway

i miss your mother
i miss the way that she’d ruffle your hair
but you didn’t understand
why we’d bonded over
being in the background and holding your hand

that’s all i am built to do
you wanted more than what i
can give to you

i don’t forgive you now
you keep a skeleton in your closet of who you were
and i can’t sit and watch you burn
i’d dive under trains for you
pull out my hair for you all of the time

you are a ghost now, a thing of the past
lonelier now but it never could last
see your face in a mirror
it’s starting to crack

was it worth it?
look at the state of you
hungry for blood
never enough
hold out your arms

cos i don’t forgive you now
you keep a skeleton in your closet of who you were
and i can’t sit and watch you burn
i’d dive under trains for you
pull out my hair for you all of the time
all of the time

stay dead

yes i fucked up the bridge lyrics battle me to the death i will run you through with a sharpened stick

my chemical romance - helena (acoustic cover)

-lyrics-
headphones on
motion sickness
fill that hole
in your soul
breathe in the smoke
burn the rope
that held the tire swing

forest fire
count to ten

and again
my friend
let me cherish
our fate

of every
sliver of time
we could have
wound up in
should we be scared?
should we hide?
from the sky?
from the

sky
how could you
just hide?
we brought this all
on us

i’m so afraid
for us
i’m so ashamed
of us

sliver of time

sketchface - sliver of time

i don wanna trouble u with my issueszz

lyrics - 
i know this song sounds redundant
i didn’t know where to start
ever heavy eyelids
a migraine of the heart

i could have spoken to anyone
but i didn’t want to burden them
you say i give myself too much hatred
but i know if you were me you wouldn’t want to stay

because i don’t
know
why
i’m unable
to 
cry

maybe things would have been different 
if opportunities didn’t turn to fears
you say I give myself too much shit
after all these things tend to end in tears

because i don’t
know
why
i’m unable
to 
cry
i wanted you
to
know
i never want
to burden
you

burden you

sketchface - burden you

im worried about u!

-lyrics-
im having trouble tryna 
sleep tonight
i keep shivering in bed with 
thoughts of frights

i wanna close my eyes, i'm begging on my knees
and every time i do, you die in my dreams 

calluses and papercuts and
the stench of cigarettes
waking up at 4am in a 
cold sweat

i can’t remember the first time
this will not be the last time
every time i sleep, you die in my dreams

didnt wanna be the one
to realise
while im stumbling round
bleeding from my eyes
and now i

can’t remember the first time
this will not be the last time x2

every time i sleep, you die in my dreams
