I can only stand the old tunes Listen to what I’m used to Know the words, The riffs, the licks Still it’s got the magic To move new I hear with the same ears But I just think of the brain It once moved through I’ll never be the same again No point hammering on [...]

I wanted you to love me so seriously That it was a joke I don’t have a more interesting Way to put it Racked up a nice backlog Of backlash The bill winded round like a lap dance And I was to foot it I finally got a grip, got over it As all shattered [...]

My tongue may slip And over words I trip But that’s not the bit I think matters Cos conversation clatters It makes and shatters Leaves you complete and in tatters Let’s speak The peak of my speech And the trench of my deeps Won’t ever reach Unless you get over I think it brings us [...]

Me? I enter with skepticism Don’t expect perfectionism It’s not the rhyme And it’s less the rhythm But if the reason’s treason I anticipate a heated collision Come exercise derision Because I got slick lips A read wit And the alternative perk of mysticism All that to say I’ll listen If you listen I’ll read [...]

On a night train Watching out the window Obviously seeking reflection Find yourself In all things That’s narcissism Find all things within yourself Slag! Only way up Is resurrection Walked all these roads alone And only now You need protection? Anyway, what do you Get back from the double glaze? A slipping do And a [...]

When you’re constantly being motivational You’re reminding everyone how shit it is on repeat Asking me to hold on, to push through To wait for you to come and defeat The evils that wait on toe round every corner’s crease It’s lovely what you’re saying Lyrical and deep Fluffy, soft and seeped in trope You’re [...]

You said it was the same pain as loss And you’ve lost a lot You’ve proved to be all those things You said you was not In weak moments, though I misdiagnosed you as gone So I know that torture like a twin And recently I stopped trying To destroy everything I ain’t remedied by [...]
