young cunts with their conversations, keeping me uptight with skinny clothes. i’ll be fucked if you’re becoming one of those. "but i will work this out" i said. "i will fix my head, you just haven't met me yet". i'm fine with the conversation style, yes i am and you can handle far more chemicals than i can. babe, i understand why you take another man, i just hate to see you down. what if i admit to you that i have never felt so scared? young cunts with their conversations, keeping me uptight with skinny clothes. i'll be fucked if we're becoming some of those and i'll take off your dress, but your best friend looks like death. they say that the undertaker is watching me.

My Friend's Wedding

War Waves - My Friend's Wedding

when this pain it comes, it comes to see if it can get his roots right into me - the tallest tree, a partly joined settee. but with a weighted sense of irony, will the weight of it begin to breathe some logic in our failed history? but i was never that strong for you – keep it to yourself. oh! if i could put your hand back into mine to stop your fingers breaking every time, trying to get away because you're dying every night. but with a patient sense of patient i, will the patient in me start to fight? forgive me, i'll never get this right. we like the horses in the night-time movies. the sense of freedom and their hooves, they move me.

god, i've made a bet with all the people that i've met and now i'm waiting for them all to die. i promise i'll forget, i swear to god that i'll forget - i'll put a sticker on my wrist to try. you couldn't fool me with your most slovenly drawl. i’ve come to realise i don’t actually know anything about anyone at all.

there's something about this house that changes everything. it's not a role reversal of sorts, but it's crippling. i'd define success if it would settle down with me. i'll believe in anything, except for my beliefs. some of us are strong and i guess some of us are weak. some of us move along, whilst some others melt their speech. some of us take harm and trust and make them the same thing. some of us are cunts, some of us are sweet. i need you all. i've got a lion's head but i am still a part of you. i'm 'ground and out' but i am still a part of you. who's looking down 'aghast' is still a part of you. i've got a child's head but i am still a part of you.

A Lion's Head

War Waves - A Lion's Head

whether i'm here or not, people still fuck and they're falling asleep with another on top and if beggars believe that 'you take what you've got', well, it's stuck in my teeth and starting to rot. you can't propose change whilst keeping your body and bloodstream the same, i'm feeling the constant of guilt in my veins, continuous age. a road to a bed that i'm building with blame but you won't leave anything dying for me to feed on. if i could draw a picture of death i'd imagine he'd look a little like this. i'm barely alive, he's taking his time to position his focus and his hand in mind. where were you when you felt it? where were you last when you felt it? i want to feel like i'm never upset anymore. why settle for something so chemically raw? never going to heal - laying perfectly still on disposable bedding, unstable and ill.
