thanks
I never get to see you
Always something get in the way
What’s it like to be you
Watching television all day
It’s obvious I need you
Never thought It’s something I’d say
Just wanna say ‘thanks’ for taking me on board
Don’t believe in soulmates
There are many fish in the sea
But I believe your soul makes
The best decisions for you
To be the future with you
Is something I could do
Just wanna say ‘thanks’ for taking me on board
Intra
It’s obvious I need you
Never thought I’d turn out that way
Just wanna say ‘thanks’ for changing me
Just wanna say ‘thanks’ for waking me
Just wanna say ‘thanks’ for taking me on board

song
I know that I’m a handful
But you know that I’m thankful
I’m happy dreaming all year long
I know I always focus (on)
The wrong bit of the story
My life is going for a song
Cho
I know it’s not romantic
But we’re both quite pedantic
It’s getting harder to move on
And though there’s often shouting
I know that there’s no doubting
The fact that we still get along
Some problems are too big and
Some problems are too small but
We need to take turns at being strong
For seven years of our life
There never was an archive
A brave new world somehow went wrong
I know it’s not romantic
But we’re both quite pedantic
It’s getting harder to move on
And though there’s often shouting
I know that there’s no doubting
The fact that we still get along

matrix
It’s hard to focus
In the world
I should have known that when I was young
At times reflective
On what’s to come
I could have got so much more done
(vocorus)
For conspiracy read fantasy
For fantasy read pharisee
For pharisee read decieve
For deception authenticity
I am a warning
To keep you aspiring
I don’t suppose that matters none
The ghosts are stirring
From early mornings
A child’s hand claws
And springtime’s gone
On and on and on, you give yourself away rpt
Run and ruun and run, your heart keeps going rpt
Run and run and run, but only til you sleep
And when you sleep, the walls keep standing.

transfer

Beset by all the problems that
Came to you
Reset every day then it
Came to you
We waited for the transfer
To comfort you
We waited for the prism to
Find you
Preside over the conflicts you overcame
Take pride you never drifted
To novocaine
We waited for the transfer
To find you
You waited for the sun to
Believe in you
Fly
(Concentrate

Friend)
Fly
Fly
Fly

hotels
Remembered hotels and open vistas
Trees blurred on the passenger side
Service station with man-made duck pond
Touching things that you’d never buy
Some people see what they want to see
Some people lie to their friends
I only see what I ought to see
I only see what makes sense
So revealing yet so misleading
You get that when you’re on the fence
The end is abstract yet all around
The glass is your only defence
Some people see what they want to see
Some people lie to make friends
I only see what I ought to see
I only see what makes sense
Think of times when I never see you
What would we think about now?
Think of times when there’s no time to think
What would we think about now?
I have seen you for 60 days now
But I still want you to stay
I have seen you for 16 hours
But I still missed you today

Weekend
Is it because I was
making a fuss of
Your only friend
At the weekend?
I wasn’t sure I thought
You were too pure
But now I know,
Now I know
That you are flawed
Set a day on a weekend in the spring
I want to move to an
I become you place
Forever, forever
You made it clear when
I was insincere
And you had a laugh
At my photograph
Set a day on a weekend in the spring
Leave a coin in ashtray for the ring
Give me evenings and weekends in the rain
Set a day on a weekend in the spring

fail

fail
A woken fantasy of real mythology
And all the street kids want is Glam
Again, I want to see what I want to see
But is that really who I am?
I try to make up an ancestry when the one I have is hot on my tail
I try to fake personality believing mine is destined to fail
I struggle with the world of the Musical
But I know why it’s there
The real kids need to reach
The fake kids need to preach about the graces and the air
I try to make a mentality
For all I know I’m riding on air
I have more questions than answers
So I’ll leave an interrupted cadence there.

adidas
Just when your life was beginning
A gnarled hand unfurled from a car
Shrouded in Puma / Adidas
Presented you
With a black star
No time for thinking things over
The Aldi was closed anyway
Wonder who this winter soldier
Would take in his cross hairs today
Seven seconds is all you know
Seven minutes, the afterglow]
Every other moment you’re in so much pain (S1)
Alcohol lets you steal a glimps
But you’ve never quite been there since
Snow on cisterns, you feel like Prince for a day
But then you pay
Before the be comes a-moral
Where does the judgement remain?
Walking the pavements in sorrow
Or synapses joined in your brain
Maybe you’ll be an old person
Laughing like budda all day
Maybe you are a young person
Maybe you’re laughing today

Quantum
Think about you every day: I don’t always see your face
The accountant lied to you: and the flowers die in time
Think about the lack of you: what I made in place of you
Think about your aura too: Another proxy pantomime
Another step towards you: Another classic double take
The candle light affords you: quantum glimpse of being young
What’s ithungover from?: with the gates of eden gone
Waiting for the evensong: just an ordinary wrong
You could have sung the other one: Bereft of tonality
It would have meant a whole lot less: If the words came from your mind
Envy motorcycle ride: Into the harbourface
Maybe we will meet again: Maybe I’ll stand by your side
