Oh spirit guides, I've been praying
Guess you don't hear a word I'm saying
or is it that I've been talking to the bad guys
Demons dressed as angels in disguise
They seemed so nice
Are smoke and grease remedies for a brain gone deranged?
The Hanged Man got me panhandling change
They keep tellin me its coming but it dont
3am in the kitchen again and I wont
Go back to sleep sleepwalking zombie, go back to sleep
put the kettle on, fuck it...

Don't come over to my house (I'm out of town)
when the lights are out (seen you around here)
You are a dot on the void (I find traces of you)
An orb on my polaroid (I want to erase you)
I can't really see you but I know you're there
I don't wanna see you but you're in the air
smoking, chain smoking
I was brand new for you but you dont know
now I might be rude to you so let me go
only joking, jokin, well I know
You learnt to let go of your pride (hung on to your ego)
but you left it behind now you can't see the signs (here we go)
don't hide yourself in your mind (there's nowhere to run there)
you'll lose that shit everytime (lose that shit everytime)
I'm in recovery or so I'm told
I'm in recovery but I feel so... broken
are you hoping?
I'm gonna hide out where nobody goes
I'm gonna ride it out so let me go
only joking, yeah
hoping, yeah
are you skulking? Yeah
Sulking, you'll never know where I go
You'll never know where I go
Hey skulking, you'll never know where I go
You'll never know
You'll never know where I go
You'll never know
You'll never know where I go

feel your feelings

much to my surprise
I saw you last night again
you were standing in my kitchen
talking like we were friends
so much time has passed
I'm not sure where it went
I know I wasted some of mine
faking my own absence
be kind to your mind
be kind to your friends
be kind to your body
feel all your feelings, friend
theres a blanket of memory
something that don't cover me
it's always slippin through my fingers
as I exasperate the seams
I don't recognise your face now
we wont rectify the blame
but sometimes you're around my dream state
and when I wake up its a shame
be kind to your mind
be kind to your friends
be kind to your body
feel all your feelings, friend

cowgirl on the moon
03:29

Luna shines so white
brightest in the night
hear her talking through a satellite
telling earth hes full of
monkey men with sunken eyes
broken hearts and drunken minds
but she don't care
she stays with him anywhere
and i dont mind
if I stay here all of my life
Luna got callousy skin
don't let nobody in
I'm twisting my hair
when I see her dancing alone
give up all my weapons
cos I can feel her shrinking
when I die in my red boots
I'm gonna be a cowgirl on the moon
and I dont mind
all of the time
and i dont mind if I stay for the rest of my life

so

I would be so happy to see you
I would be so happy to know you
all that is owed, I need to repay it
don't know what to say, but I gotta say it
You didn't know I was lucky to meet you
now I'd be so happy to see you
Know that I'd never take you for granted
I'd only ever be honest

down in acapulco
03:24

down in Acapulco where the fish are sad
surfing plastic
stars shine bright
find me in the morning when the waves are high
on your motorbike
I wanna go for a ride with you
there's a secret place I know where the banyan shade
and the beach aint far
look for me tonight when the moon is ripe
whatever time
I wanna go for a ride
down in Acapulco where the fish are sad
cos the surfs full of plastic and
stars don't shine
I was gonna run away
now I'm goin home
but I'll still take a ride with you

fire vs water
03:44
|

|
surrounded by water
digging for fire
i know your secret
i dont know your name
my boys on fire
eyes like a tiger
im coming closer
like a moth to a flame
you're like a river
i can't hold you
i'm in a deep groove
you're running away
you're like a river
you're big and bold too
i'm becoming see-through
scattered like rain
do you ever wonder
what's becoming of you?
i wonder will we wander
down the railroad again?
do you ever wander
seemingly without a reason to?
i never seem to the way we did then
worn like a summer
time can hold you
i'm in a deep groove
it's running away
cold like a mirror
it will estrange you
then we become strange too
scattered again
guide me, i won't move
i got nothing to prove
at least that's how i feel when i'm untrue
guide me, i won't move
i got nothing to prove
at least that's how i feel today

the grindylow

grindylow high
the grindy go low
get swept away in the ebbs and the flows
the grindylow finds little fingers and toes
grindy go hide in the caves and the coves
grindy go bite your little fingers and toes
grindy go high then the grindy go low
grindylow finds little fingers and toes
all days go through the ebbs and the flows
grindy go high then the grindy go low
get swept away in the ebbs and the flows
teeth in the tide steal your fingers and toes

sirens
04:30
|

I saw the ashen on the beach
I saw the ashen on the beach
bottles smashed into the sea
turn to emeralds smooth and green
I saw a pattern in the sky and
all the patterns on the tide and
shells resembling your eyes
are faultless by design
it'll trace your dna
copy and replace
store it in a cloud
sync it to a sound
they send the sirens to the sea
they send the sirens to the sea
wherever you go
leave traces to follow
he said ‘let me sleep with my queen
I'm following my queen
If my body wash up on the beach
send me back out to sea
they rip the island from the sea
they split the island from beneath
hidden by a tide
bones and teeth fossilised
it'll trace your dna
copy and replace
sync it to a wave
send it into space
I met somebody by the beach
looking for bodies on the beach
said she was following a tide
the ashen washed over his eyes

happy too
02:28
|

show me if you're lonely
if you're happy I don't wanna know
if all you were is a plaster
i'll pick the scab underneath my clothes
for a distraction, like an aspirin
just somethin to consume
and I don't care if it isn't true
cos i'm not happy now
how bout you?
I've been wondering where the pain goes
like a placebo to swallow down
is it still there? I just don't care
pain receptors have been blockin it out
then it hits my nerves, but it's even worse
cos you can't be my aspirin now
show me if you're lonely
cos I've been feeling blue
don't tell me if you're happy
stay hidden please, til i'm happy too
