You put glass on the kite string
But didn’t know that you’d cut that little boys throat
And he’d bleed out
And he’d need you now.

Somebody bite me
To show I’m still alive
& not dreaming about this little light
Going out, out, out.

You put faith in the family values
and I believed that, don’t you see that?
It’s not fair to make us all learn something new,
At 22, I thought I was done with school,
Done with being cool, now I don’t know what’s up;
You’ve got a new place, with a new pace, and an old face to take care of.
At least you’re happy now, happy now.

glass on the kite string

Rose gold on her lips like a fashion taste,
“I’ve got no hips and I’m gaining weight.”
She doesn’t like honey but she says it enough.
Best to try your best before you give up.

Rose gold on her lips; can’t put it down,
I’m addicted to the throne but I lost my crown.
Your body is a light and I can’t sleep tonight
in your new bedroom.

rose gold

Get out the car, stop crying, or you’ll never learn,
Pick up the pace, get a job, now you earn.
We bought a house up the hill on the corner:
Cosy for two and then maybe a daughter.

I’ve not been sleeping lately,
But she’s not to blame;
It’s fucking hot and he’s repeating lately,
I might be doing the same.
You’ve not been kind to yourself,
Keeping everything stacked on the shelf.
You’ve got skeletons picking up dust
All your wild thoughts are starting to rust

And I’m not quite there inside my head right now
But never mind.

He said he doesn’t want to be a statistic
I said “Dad, we’re all the same.”
And it’s not that easy just to “be realistic.”
But you’re not to blame.
I’m a sucker for the soft light,
That burns a hole between the cracks in my blinds
I’m well aware that our ideals die
So bring back the soft light.

How low this time?
I can’t believe I’m breathing
Now matter how low this time;
I’ve got to keep believing.

nevermind

If all the sounds in my head
Disappeared and left me for dead
I’d pick up my pen again
If all the words from my brain
Got scared and sounded insane
I hope I’d let go again

My hands are always cold but babe you know
I try to tell myself
“You can be wrong”

‘I’ve never heard of The Sad Red’
‘Cos that’s a hypocritical statement I said
And I’ve got big plans but currently no fans
And I’m on a come down now I feel
I’m just another boy with the messy hair
With just another ploy to get out of here
And I believe I’m on my way but I find it hard to say so,

I’m out of my mind
I’m losing the light
But I’m sure I’ll be fine

you can be wrong

I woke up with bruises
on my knees and both my eyes
And if I tell the truth, it’s that I know why
I kinda like the way you say my name
I’d do the same for you
But you know that, don’t you?

Save me from myself,
Don’t break me ‘cos I’m a mess right now
I want you to hold me tight
I want you to be there for me in the middle of the night

I was close to losing,
By the time I wrote this song
But you knew my bruises
Would heal over time, you said it’s a sign
Take a look at yourself; you’re brave honey,
I want to be alive not give a shit about money
But if I’m honest with myself I’m scared stiff,
I’m losing the fucking will to live

Bruises

Bruises (RADIO EDIT)

i was told to roll the windows down
“let some air in” or you might just drown
i was cold but I was by your side
i wanted to be just like them.
don’t wanna feel like I’m slowing down
I’m sorry I’m a fire sometimes
and sometimes I’m a cigarette
going out.
