If nothing had changed,
Would it have helped me out?
You don't feel the same
And I understand.
Nothing's the same
But I'll help you out.
Nothing's the same now.
I kind of guessed something was wrong,
Didn't want to believe
Should've bit my lip just to prolong,
This overwhelming grief
Now I live at my parents house
And my brothers sheets
don't keep me warm; they don't smell of you
So I'll never sleep the same
But I'll help you out.
I know you sleep the same
But that doesn't help
There is no time to these days;
Every minute's a freeze frame
Where I blame myself.
This list of loss is so long
I've no time to read
There's a cloud of what it was
Over everything
And I've been trying to think
If it's you or the past that I still love
But I don't think I'll ever solve that.
For all it hurts, I'm a big boy now.
And you need to work on being nice to yourself.
Because you're perfect.
You're my best friend.
And we're both going to be fine.

How To Digest Shards
03:26
|
|||
You come to see me now
Through innocent eyes and watch how
I was once spoiled for choice
Now can't even voice what that means
Quietly sure of yourself
Yet to foresee just how
You will gobble your choices
With an unblemished greed,
My subsequent disappointment
Could fill magazines
You said "I liked you better when you were like me"
Awash with concurrence,
I ask you to leave
You can hide
Running in circles.
But you're still running away.
This heart is black and tarred
But still, it's beating.
Adjust to digest shards
So it doesn't sting.
You're still here
You're still running away
I can't despair if I haven't got the time
I can't repair if I haven't got the time
I can't depend on you
I can't depend on myself
I wish I could send you this letter...

China Skis

I should use this situation
To do a little more for me
A change in job direction
Maybe something I don't hate
But I'll always be as redundant
As a pair of China Skis
I hope you get that reference
I know Josh Jarman will at least...
Maybe if I had any aspirations at all
I could dream of Fridays that don't tell me
That I'm allowed to dress down
Even sad kings get to wear a crown
And I'm too comfy on this throne
I was content with sharing nothing
Now I have nothing on my own.

Walking Backwards
03:19
|
|||
I've been walking backwards
So I don't see it coming
But I walk in circles...
My sight's self-humbled
By these rose-tinted goggles
I bought for myself
But they're not enough;
They make no difference at all
Why do I beg
When everything I said was enough?
Abrade me down.
I got the sea view at a hotel
no one visits, or knows about
And I slept there all day
Next to my suitcase stuffed with bibles,
Bars of soap and fresh towels
It was the loneliest I've ever woke
It makes no difference;
Let the bath run
Why do I beg
When everything I said was enough?
Abrade me down with that file
Until I'm as smooth as the skies
That surround my hotel
Sat next to you
The hardest thing to do is know
Hate's a chore.

Tin Foil
03:18
|
|||
I was hoping to find you
And I know that you wanted me there too
I showed you all in one arm's breadth
And I count your heartbeats as my head sits on your chest
Is this silver lining or tin foil
hiding something disguarded beneath fresh soil?
I can't tell you how much
It meant to be beside you,
Looking at the walls as you slept
and wishing I could too, like we used to
Just like we used to
Just like we're supposed to
