Neon Ocean

Isn’t it peculiar?
The city breathing underneath your feet?
Strange yet familiar
A fever mix of colour and concrete
In your eyes a constellation and in your
Lighter flint sparks a trace of the stars
Your lips draw close together as the
Cherry tip of your cigarette burns
Forever burning, never to burn out
Moving together
All the streets and buildings seem to sigh
A sleepless whisper
A heaviness is lifted by the night
A backseat conversation in a
Taxi slipping out into the dark
Although its heartbeat becomes quiet
The neon ocean pulses, flickers, and sparks
Forever burning, never to burn out
And I feel the night time in my bloodstream
As the avenues all close up their doors
For now no one can touch us,
If we stay out for just a little bit more
Forever burning, never to burn out

Save Me The Weekend
02:53
|

Would it be wise?
For me to come see you around midnight?
Cos I miss your eyes
And there’s never ever enough time
I know this is more than just a crush
Cos seeing you when I know I gotta go well it’s never enough
So baby save me the weekend
Cos I just can’t wait
To see you out on the dance floor
Here’s to these nights and a million more
Baby save me, baby save me
Checking my phone
I needa see if your message has come through
Cos I wanna know
The next moment that I can get to you
I know this is more than just a crush
Cos seeing you when I know I gotta go well it’s never enough
Never thought I’d fall so deep
Could we stay in this memory?
You’re my favourite way of losing sleep
You’re my favourite way of losing sleep
I know this is more than just a crush
Cos seeing you when I know I gotta go well it’s never enough

Into Into You
03:32
|

Is it weird to think we could’ve been
Just strangers passing by in the street
But the universe had other plans
And now I can’t get you out of my head
Maybe I’ll call
Pick up the phone
But I been stalling on what to say
Write you a text
Read it again
Why can’t I just say what I’m feeling
Cos the truth, the truth is that I’m into you
Cos it feels right when I’m with you
Timing and the rhythm
The way we move together
I’m into into you, yeah
When I’m with you
Everything is better
A second or forever,
I’m into into you, yeah
And all at once,
The fever comes,
I’m up in the clouds again
All in a rush,
Forever young,
I’ll never come down again
When I’m with you
Everything is better
A second or forever,
I’m into into you, yeah
I know that you’ve been workin overtime
But I just wanna get next to you
You know you really caught me by surprise
But it’s a feeling that I’ll give into
Maybe I’ll call
Pick up the phone
But I been stalling on what to say
Write you a text
Read it again
Why can’t I just say what I’m feeling
Cos the truth, the truth is that I’m into you
Cos it feels right when I’m with you
Timing and the rhythm
The way we move together
I’m into into you, yeah
When I’m with you
Everything is better
A second or forever,
I’m into into you, yeah
And all at once,
The fever comes,
I’m up in the clouds again
All in a rush,
Forever young,
I’ll never come down again
When I’m with you
Everything is better
A second or forever,
I’m into into you, yeah

Fingerprints
03:05
|

I feel your fingerprints
In the fog and fading light
Since I've moved back home, nothing really feels right
Your voice lingering
In the walls and curtains still
Forgotten seconds, hours, minutes, and silences
And I'm wondering all about how it began
The people we are and the ones we were then
Was it worth it?
And maybe I think I could see you again
Or maybe it's easier just to pretend
It was worth it
It was worth it
But it's over now
Yes it's over now
Do you still remember it?
The breath we used to wear?
The give and the take of our compromised love affair
And I'm wondering all about how it began
And all of the words that lead up to the end
Was it worth it?
And maybe I think I could see you again
And all of the questions, and could've beens
It was worth it
It was worth it
But it’s over now
Yes it’s over now

I Don't Know
03:08
|

You sat cross-legged
At the foot of the bed and said
"I'm no good at growing old, but I won’t be young forever”
You tossed your hair
"I'm feeling lost again" you said,
And shook your head the way you do when it’s all too much to explain
Or something like that, I don't know
I don't know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Is it all in my head? I don’t know
I don't know, I don’t know, I don’t know
A hazy party
Another shot or 3 and I
Try to wash the anxious thoughts back out of my bloodstream
The words sound blurry
Talk some shit ‘til it’s boring I
Try to stop myself before I say something too honest
Or something like that, I don't know
I don't know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Is it all in my head? I don’t know
I don't know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Or something like that, I don't know
I don't know, I don’t know, I don’t know
Is it all in my head? I don’t know
I don't know, I don’t know, I don’t know

Over and Over Again
03:06
|

Jaded
Look around the room, my hands in need of something to do
You know, I hate it
Scrolling through my phone, gimme something else to consume, oh do you do it too?
You know I wish I that didn’t care and
I tell myself not to compare but
I’m hooked on the dopamine
I get high on the jealousy
Post a pic just to get away from
All the bullshit in my brain
And I know that it’s stupid
But somehow I do it
Over and over and over and over again
I been stuck here in the middle of it
Double tapping on a photo again
And I know that it’s stupid
But somehow I do it
Over and over again
So frustrated
Tell me what do I gotta do to feel good enough?
Why do I need the validation?
Always seeking, searching, chasing down another rush, then another one, and then another one
You know I wish I that didn’t care and
I tell myself not to compare but
I’m hooked on the dopamine
I get high on the jealousy
Post a pic just to get away from
All the bullshit in my brain
And I know that it’s stupid
But somehow I do it
Over and over and over and over again
I been stuck here in the middle of it
Double tapping on a photo again
And I know that it’s stupid
But somehow I do it
Over and over again

Don't Know You No More
03:42
|

It’s 8:35
And I wish you could see this sky
Twilight sinking toward the ocean
The world moving in slow motion now
You coulda been mine
But you ain’t and you know the reasons why
But you’re still in the words I write
Though you’re halfway round the world tonight
And I know I said that I never, that I never wanted forever
But it’s still hard to say I don’t know you no more
And I know I said that I never, that I never wanted forever
But it’s still hard to say I don’t know you no more
No I don’t know you no more
Do you remember the time
We went down to the water that night
Contradictions in the sunset
The trees painting their regrets in the light
You coulda been mine
But you ain’t and you know the reasons why
But you’re still in the words I write
Though you’re halfway round the world tonight
And I know I said that I never, that I never wanted forever
But it’s hard for me to admit I don’t know you no more
And I know I said that I never, that I never wanted forever
But it’s hard for me to admit I don’t know you no more
No I don’t know you no more

All The Hours
03:41
|
|||
A bridge on a river
The water flows with secrets and memories
A place I remember,
But it doesn’t seem to remember me
Feels like ages and no time at all, simultaneous
Like I crystallised all the time within my mind
Since I last breathed this air
Feels like I never left, like I never left
Like waking into a dream
Or slipping in and out of sleep
I’m out of sleep
And I’m just a melody
And you’re just a memory of all the hours we wasted, all the hours we wasted
And I’m just a melody
And you’re just a memory
Wasting hours in the moonlight, oh how quickly they slip by
Do you ever think of all the hours we wasted, cos I don’t believe we wasted them
A house on a corner
Conversations hidden in the floorboards
I went past and thought of knocking on the door
Even though you don’t live there anymore
Feels like ages and no time at all, simultaneous
Like I crystallised all the time within my mind
Since I last breathed this air
Feels like I never left, like I never left
Like waking into a dream
Or slipping in and out of sleep
I’m out of sleep
And I’m just a melody
And you’re just a memory of all the hours we wasted, all the hours we wasted
And I’m just a melody
And you’re just a memory
Wasting hours in the moonlight, oh how quickly they slip by
Do you ever think of all the hours we wasted, cos I don’t believe we wasted them

Maybe It'll Be Alright
04:17

6 months since I slept well
I should’ve guessed I’d be letting myself down again
Waiting on my damn self
But I don’t know where I’d wanna go even if I wasn’t
Stuck in my head
Circling go round round and round again
Round round and round again
Compiling lies I
Use to say I’m fine fine fine again
Fine fine fine again
Ohhhh maybe it’ll be alright
Ohhhh
Ohhhh will you wake me when the light arrives?
Ohhhh
Flickering lights on a screen
Illuminate my face with electronic melancholy
Will the summer come find me?
I'm so sick of feeling tired and tryna turn it into poetry
Stuck in my head
Circling go round round and round again
Round round and round again
Compiling lies I
Use to say I’m fine fine fine again
Fine fine fine again
Ohhhh maybe it’ll be alright
Ohhhh
Ohhhh will you wake me when the light arrives?
Ohhhh

Wreck Myself
03:25
|

Lately, daybreak
Seems to arrive before I want it
Splitting in two on the horizon
Flooding my brain with all the things that I haven’t done
Overthink about the returning of the sun
Always feeling like I’m paralysed
Forever waiting on some kind of sign
It never feels like this is the right time
Overthinking every little thing
Hating on myself relentlessly
Freaking out in my own head again
Don’t wanna think about the ways that I’ve been messin it up
Push it away and I’ll pretend that I just don’t give a fuck
It fucks me up the way I wreck myself, wreck myself, ooh you know that I just
I’m just, restless
Chasing tomorrow on a breadcrumb
Before movin’ on onto the next one
Sometimes I feel like I should learn how to slow things down
Freaking out at night every time I try to lay down
Always feeling like I’m paralysed
Forever waiting on some kind of sign
It never feels like this is the right time
Overthinking every little thing
Hating on myself relentlessly
Freaking out in my own head again
Don’t wanna think about the ways that I’ve been messin it up
Push it away and I’ll pretend that I just don’t give a fuck
It fucks me up the way I wreck myself, wreck myself, ooh you know that I just
