I know where I came from
Won't someone take me there
Where the tyrant kingdom rests
Cerulean, amid a quickening black where
The wind is bottomless

In the mighty midnight blue
I'll be torn in two
Neptune, Neptune, for you

I only wanna be alone now, don't that count for something
I only wanna be alone now, never asked for nothing

And so I fold my lungs
And I shut my eyes again
And feel the wind touch me, touch me
And if you ask for me
I will always be running
I will never stop running

In the mighty midnight blue
I am torn in two
Neptune, Neptune

Neptune

Lyrics:
I'll be wrecked and drunk in your hands
Lonely as can be 
And I'll feel you, I'll feel you all the time
Staring in from out my window
But my lonely eyes you need
And I see you, and I see you watching me

Sometimes the anger's all that I have
Catch a part of me
And I need you, and I need you all the time
But if you want to let me let you go
Then would you just tell me?
Though you heal me, and you free me of my need

Oh please don't give up on me Jack
Oh baby, let me come back
This back is beginning to crack
I swear it's beginning to crack, oh

Winter mornings, restless evenings
The old therapist's eyes
Physician, visit and mend my bone
Cause you can say I made you hurt this way
And it would not be a lie
But I'm not sick now
Though the stain is in my eye

Oh please don't give up on me Jack
Oh baby, let me come back
This back is beginning to crack
I swear it's beginning to crack, oh

Please Don't Give Up On Me

Featuring the vocal and co-writing talents of Eimear Harper and the poetry and {spoken words} of Francis Lawrence.

Lyrics:
{You can play the father and I'll shine like the son
You can clear the alter and our search for the holy spirit
Will have already begun}

I believe that you are not the future
There is more than the fear in your heart
To the way we are
I believe that you can open your eyes
See things for the way they are
Before it's torn apart

Oh no, don't be the same
Everybody else is playing that game
Swinging at each other and taking names
Any little thing can fuel that flame
Slow down, we're all in a race
Getting to the top to be a waste of space
Give me a break
Say what you want but it's all the same

You can make me fake
You can make me lose all my trust
Or you can set me free

They'll never ever break us down
We are the wild ones, we are the ones who run
Never break us down
And we're braver now, we fight
Fire with fire
And we'll take you higher

I can feel the changes all around me
Like the hands on a ticking clock
On a bomb that's going off
We will make our way
Some day
Some day

Oh no, don't be the same
Everybody else is playing that game
Swinging at each other and taking names
Any little thing can fuel that flame
Slow down, we're all in a race
Getting to the top to be a waste of space
Give me a break
Say what you want but it's all the same

And you can set me free

They'll never ever break us down
We are the wild ones, we are the ones who run
Never break us down
And we're braver now, we fight
Fire with fire
And we'll take you higher

Know how I need you and you need me

They'll never ever break us down
We are the wild ones, we are the ones who run
Never break us down
And we're braver now, we fight
Fire with fire
And we'll take you higher

Never break us down
(We are the wild ones, we are the ones who run)
Never break us down
(And we're braver now, we fight fire with fire)

Never (feat. Eimear Harper, Francis Lawrence)

Lyrics:
It got a little bit colder and I dunno if I'm still on for this
Can't forget the way he said goodbye

Now the crowd's on the street, pushing past 
When we meet, hit a club up on George's Street
They're checking my ID, I got this choke
Got this smoke, got this rumble in me 
Somebody take me away from this

Moving through a crowd
The music is too loud
A drag queen a stage
Our movies in my brain
The zombie's in my head
Will mommy find me dead?
I fall apart too soon
I'm sick of needing you

Brave face baby, turn your head and smile
If you keep a brave face baby
It won't hurt you tonight, no

The cold of the smoking area we choke in
Hooks us on a broken feeling, like we're floating
Can't believe, I can't quite see it
How could everything just end?
Everything is left unspoken

(And I won't say)
Moving through a crowd
The music is too loud
A drag queen a stage
Our movies in my brain
The zombie's in my head
Will mommy find me dead?
I fall apart too soon
I'm sick of needing you

Moving through a crowd
The music is too loud
A drag queen a stage
Our movies in my brain
The zombie's in my head
Will mommy find me dead?
I fall apart too soon
I'm sick of needing you

Needing You

Features backing vocals from Eimear Harper.

Lyrics:
Shook awake like a force of habit
Staring straight up at the roof
Check on my phone, I'm a late white rabbit
And the blood in my brain is the proof
Oh my friend, I don't know how to say
There's something gone wrong with me
Still you know, I don't need to say it
You just smile and you set me free

You held my hand in the dark that night
Lying on Mollie's lawn
You held my hand in my wind and rain
O Dayna, O Dayna
You never told me not to shake and cry
Drunk and stupid and wrong
You held my hand and I whispered again
O Dayna, O Dayna

Take a train from Heuston Station
And the seat pushes into my legs
Send you a text just to reassure you
That I did not fall asleep and forget
Cause you know that I got my issues
I'm working on a couple as well
But you my friend are perfect person
And everyone who knows you can tell

You held my hand in the dark that night
Lying on Mollie's lawn
You held my hand in my wind and rain
O Dayna, O Dayna
You never told me not to shake and cry
Drunk and stupid and wrong
You held my hand and I whispered again
O Dayna, O Dayna

Now we're drinking rain
Until you're back again
We're drinking rain
Maybe I'll see you in the summer
In the summer, maybe I'll see you
In the summer, in the summer

Drinking Rain

July 2018
written as the ending for another song, about longing

-- 

midnight 
making love in two halves

all eyes closing
all breath stolen

cos every time, I will come back to that
every time I will come back to that

demos

[DEMO] everytime i will come back to that

July 2017
this was the first song me and rían worked on together, and in another universe would have been the first flowrs song out. was a bit edgy tho in its own way and we're not really about that anymore. not really sure what to do with it now but it's still pretty cool I guess

-- 
rapture, bleeding christ
these boys have mouths for eyes
watching through the computer screen HAL

sweat stain on my fishnets
clean up before you go vomit
Eco Eco Assal 

I'm not a man
as long as you understand I'm not a man
I am no man

gimme gimme shaken my little heart
rip it out before I rip yez apart
squeeze it tight so you make me faint
watch and watch as it all goes down the drain

all that I drank and smoked tonight 
I feel the nighttime burn inside
I feel you rattling my spine
I can't believe what I look like
(I can't believe)

sweat stain on my fishnets
clean up before you go vomit
ec o e. c  oo as s. s al

I'm not a man, not now I'm crawling back
I'm dressed so cool, my body's black and blue 
my soul is soured and scratched, that
ceaseless ache can kill me

all that I drank and smoked tonight 
I feel the nighttime burn inside
I feel you rattling my spine
I can't believe what I look like
(I can't believe)

[DEMO] HAL ( x Rían Stephens )

August 2018

And when ya coming over hunny
We make the best case for each other, one another
Butter lips and covers up to hips, stickle bricks
When you keep on kissin me

I had a dream about ya hunny 
Messing in the morning, makin fun of all your boring bosses
People cross us all the time from left and right
It's always aight
Will you play a song for me?

Because you belong with me
Because you belong with me
I don't gotta waste no time to see
Because you belong with me

Tobias
