i thought i was special
i thought i was smart
turns out all my ideas are good for nothing at all
i have let you down
you have let me go
and all i ever could have been 
is written on a wall
You broke me completely
thinking i was the fool
and now my jumper fits me
but i still cry for school
all the days i've spent
sleeping on the floor
you need me, use me then 
i'm back to being so alone
would you change a thing
if you knew it all?
i know you never do and kill 
dead people in the heart 
You broke me completely
thinking i was the fool
and now my jumper fits me
but i still cry for school
the notices, the winter's cold
the naughty scars, the rumors told
i know you saw me, saw it all
but you didn't say a word
i was a kid, you didn't know
you looked at me and i thought "home"
now every single time i'm wrong
i see your face and i'm gone
i broke you completely
thinking you were the fool
and now my jumper itches
but i won't cry for school
the notices, the winter's cold
the naughty scars, the rumors told
i know you saw me, saw it all
but you didn't say a word
i was a kid, you didn't know
you looked at me and i thought "home"
now every single time i'm wrong
i see your face and i'm gone

Big Bad Wolf (Demo)

National Anthem Demo HQ

The snow only grows when there's some land where it can fall
The letters form a word when they make sense they're not absurd
The sky only watches you when you're out on your own
I'm playing all these songs without knowing if they're heard

The leopard eats the sheep only if it feels hunger
The cat follows the mouse once that he has caught the bird
I like to pretend sometimes you're not what I would prefer
This Christmas only happens if we're far and we don't call

I would never run away, but, really, what's my word?
And tell me, what would you say to yourself and to your folks?
I'd like for you to watch me if it's said in protocol
Whatever is unsaid, it gets remembered and gets told

This Christmas, can you give me 1, 2, 3, 4 of your words?
The cat follows the mouse once that he has caught the bird

(humming)

You'd like fot me to stop, but then again you watch me go
I'd say you were a teacher but I'd like to teach you more.

mix of an original song w/ the police
LYRICS
young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasies 
she wants him so badly 
knows what she wants to be 
inside him there's longing 
this girl is an open page 
book marking, she's so close now 
this girl is half his age 

(original)
you said you know it's immature to use a song to get me 
but I'm always so unsure 
you knew that when you met me 
and you're what I write it for 
I am more than empty 
my mouth on your mind 
is all that I'm intending 

don't be insecure, 
I've never done this before 
I'm waiting 
watch me all the time and you know 
it's not a crime when I'm fading 

(police)
loose talk in the classroom 
(just shut up about it)
to hurt they try and try 
strong words in the staffroom 
the accusations fly 
(shut up about it)
it's no use he sees her 
he starts to shake and cough 
(no one wants to hear about it)
just like the old man in that book by Nabokov

(original)
do you ever drink like you're a dying breed?
maybe I'm just difficult to be around
maybe I just talk too often or too loud?
I've got my blue straw 
and my rain dance 
I can do it slow and I can take it fast 
Voulez-vous venir avec moi?
take a chance
