fade
03:10
|

they say that it will fade, but i'm still waiting
line the hillsides, make me safe again
i'm less myself than i have been in days and
this time it's different, make me safe again
i think i'm growing stones inside my body
the room is spinning now it's 2am
i can't see straight but i don't wanna remember
you're in my mind again
they say that it will fade, but i'm still waiting
this time is different, make me safe again
i'm less myself than i have been in days and
you're in my mind again
you're in my mind again
you're in my mind again
you're in my mind again
you're in my mind again

kitchen
03:37
|

clouds are rolling down the hills
i tell you that it kills when you look at me like that
standing with you in the kitchen
baby when we're rich can we build a house like that
lying restless in the dark i'd tell you but i can't find the words to say
will you wait up for me later
can you concentrate
are you trying to make it easy for me
you lied, said you liked the weather
knew that i would never pick you for a winter type
we took acid in the bedroom
i was off my head
you stayed awake with me
til the walls stopped melting
faster than the light moved
faster than the time flew
tighter than i held you
standing with you in the kitchen
i'll tell you what i'm missing
i’ll tell you what i'm missing
can you see the light move
all around you
i don't think the way i used to, no
i could try to recreate it
but memory is overrated
i almost called you but i waited
‘til i knew you wouldn't take it
i could try to recreate it
but memory is overrated
i almost called you but i waited
‘til i knew you wouldn't take it
can you see the light move
all around you
i don't think the way i used to, no
oh tell me what you're waiting for
i get the feeling you're not where you're meant to be
standing with you in the kitchen
i'll tell you what i'm missing, tell you what i'm missing

it felt all too familiar
you held my ribcage close to you
but i felt like an alien
my new tattooed chameleon
i didn’t think i’d be with you again
the ink had barely dried on my skin
i’ve never felt so unconvincing
with my new tattooed chameleon
but i saw the colour in your eyes
for a moment in time
did you realise i had changed my skin?
and i know sometimes you think you might still love me
but do you like my new tattooed chameleon?
the late october rain gets to my head
on the footpath waiting for the van
you tried to shield me from the wind
and i can’t wait to see you again
yeah i saw the colour in your eyes
in some parallel life
did you realise i could change my skin?
and i know sometimes you think you might still love me
but do you like my new tattooed chameleon?
so i’ll hold my tongue and i’ll watch you from across the room
oh my god, i want you
yeah i’ll hold my tongue and i’ll watch you from across the room
oh my god, i want you, i want you
it felt all too familiar
you held my ribcage close to you
but i felt like an alien
my new tattooed chameleon

i swear the sky is bigger out west
doubts settle in like flies to a carcass
and just like that the memory hits me
like californian carpark concrete
dark morning freeway to the horizon
headlights drag me into oblivion
credit cards and petrol plastic palm trees
and californian carpark concrete
and they say, ‘if the crocs don’t get you then the sharks will’
but when i’m underwater, baby it’s like time stands still
i tried to read over your shoulder
i said i’m scared of getting older
and just like that this feeling cracks me
like californian carpark concrete
and they say, ‘if the crocs don’t get you then the sharks will’
but when i’m underwater, baby it’s like time stands still
and they say, ‘if the crocs don’t get you then the sharks will’
but when i’m underwater, baby it’s like time stands still
drive through the night
wait for light
watching raindrops hit the pavement
i’m over it
i’m wasting my time
spent my life
in a constant state of waiting
i’m over it
but wide becomes wider
far becomes further
i’ll be alright
i think i’ve been out here before some time with you
you say i shouldn’t try to control the uncontrollable
measure the immeasurable
i try not to think about you
but i still do
but oh, to be constant,
oh, to be solid
oh, to survive this heat
like californian carpark concrete

oxygen
03:02
|
|||
how strange to see you
when i least expected to
at least you checked on me
how strange to regret you
when i least remembered to
do you regret me?
as sure as oxygen finds its way through my lungs
as sure as the rising sun will find its way above the horizon
as sure as the time will come
i’m sure that the time will come
i tried to tell you, not sure how to
can you read my mind
can you hold me the night through
i tried to forget you, i’m not sure i’m ready to
i try to recall the shape of it all
but the lines seem to fade into air the longer i stare
but the colours are still just as vibrant
i will make this time back
i will make this time back
i try to recall the shape of it all
but the lines seem to fade into air the longer i stare
but the colours are still just as vibrant
i will make this time back
i will make this time back
as sure as oxygen finds its way through my lungs
as sure as the rising sun will find its way above
and my eyes will adjust
i thought i needed you more than anything
but i need oxygen

panic
04:05
|
|||
for weeks i looked behind me
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
couldn’t see much out but you’d see in
i hoped you’d try to find me
i played for you, but seconds in you tossed me
like a gull tossed in the wind
and i can feel the panic setting in
and i can feel the panic setting in
now i can’t read your writing
but i like the way it looks across the pages of your books
and i can hear it
like a record spinning ‘round the corners of my mind
like a self-portrait from a time when you see in
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
i can feel the panic setting in
in darkest hours i’d leave the light on
i can feel the panic setting in
for weeks you’ve been beside me
i feel you crashing over me
like waves upon the stones at sea
you ruin me like the tide erodes the island
my sheerest cliffs are crumbling down
the deepest seas surrounding all my skin
can i make this any easier for you?
like constant white of clouded sky sometimes i could just disappear entirely
i’m heavyweight desperate now
is everything i’m doing just for you?
would i do anything for you?
could i make this more convenient for you?
like constant white of clouded sky sometimes i could just disappear entirely
i’m heavyweight desperate now
is everything i’m doing just for you?
i’ll do anything for you
i’ll do anything for you
i’ll do anything
