How Have You Been? (free) 03:13
The movies, the menus, the morning and night Covered in you like the sun's own light Melts through the curtains Tints my brain About the shiny little moments I want to contain I want to quit, I want to live To laugh myself awake I don't want a fuck just a heart to break Sleepy and warm we made it our best The films sang me to sleep in a white cotton nest White cotton rest Friends are always there; their charity on hold They could love me forever but a part would stay cold Your not something better your definitely not worse Just a whole different species who use the same words I don't want to be calm, civil and mature Got to be all or nothing; a kiss at the front door Is so damn routine but the craving still kicks To spend one last night fused at the... Lips untied and a stomach in knots Chewing the neck bone of my own thoughts Cut me loose so I can sleep again Or give the pills to make me my own friend Make me my own friend My friend Make me my own friend Lips untied and a stomach in knots Chewing the neck bone of my own thoughts Cut me loose so I can sleep again Or give the pills to make me my own... Best of liars A cure with new problems Salt through the skin, a night short of grief I was taught to smile by my own teeth

Let's start... We're going over again, times not our friend Crushed on 'nothing to do' And you prove And I loose All grip on the line of my shot A bullet bit into the crunch of the sharks Iced dreams in cold car parks Nothing but a remark; embark, you've got nothing to choose A bleeding pride and a bride to be I'm lining my own veins with who I want to be Because some things truer than not You're young, and a wasted plot My map to world hasn't took me this far I'm breathing tiny fires to warm my crooked heart Sing, place a ring. Get love at the end Roll a bias life so don't have to do this again Do this again Sleep, kiss, pretend Boy has got to make his brightest choice Slip on my veins or choke on my voice Hope it never gets the best of me Or better yet, never gets the rest of me Quickest of kills or my slowest of deaths Shoot myself into the sky or rescind my breaths Gotta see the funny side of this dream (Play this thought and burn it to repeat) Gotta see the funny side of this dream (Play this thought and burn it to repeat) If only I could pause, brace in exchange for pay Slip on my own skin as they rue the day Seal my life on the dots of a clause I think I'll find another way

Why don't you look outside your window Take in the world on its knees Its making its own way to you She didn't even have to say please Oh but fuck thats foolish, she's dreaming again Sleeping with the boys who used to be men A thin layer of lipstick and a glass full of gin She'd learn to say sorry if she knew where to begin How about the empty promise, or the 24th? She fired up hope because she was lonely or bored She only stole what she couldn't afford So she took the best of me. Tragically she mistook my own special best For the cute moments where she lay on my chest So she'll just have to watch who she once kissed Singing all these things she stupidly missed How does it feel when he's the one to hold? Kissing hard to keep grip on some soul Enjoy this rebound with vigour and thrust I'll just chew on the world and spit out gold dust I'll survive you Surviving you ...Put the love to bed, they've confirmed the corpse She knew it with the murder He had to find out at the morgue ...Had to find out at the morgue... She had to second me with a boy-be-new Because the clicking heels don't tell her what to do The misses and the kisses, he's lost his choice Lucky some chokes give us the voice To say... I'm clean... and clear of this... What would you do if I smiled and said You did me a favour; you killed it dead It wasn't my best I can guarantee Just watch and wave, while I spit and scream Down every hour you spend and every time you miss The stupid little man who can sing like this So watch me spin on stage, getting the kicks Dealing with a little pain with my oldest lyrics Get acceptance on your back, I'll get mine just from this track Shoot out a smile, my desperate... Tricked out of a few months of love Enjoy this rebound dear, I've got 'Cats and Dogs' I'm not wishing you the best, I don't want you in a hell Just...watch...wave...oh didn't he do well Let me talk some rough I... would kill to be sick to death of you I had it all to loose but Time is not going away Though the heat is hot, I think I'll stay You gave me change, its you to blame. Cracked sin in a firing range Over; he's colder, but he's starting again Looking past his face, re-sculpted man Don't you know I can read your every look I'm the index page of your truest book Goodbye last love You don't want me as one of... Your enemies, you said that one day Well I've had more manners from a kick to the face Got every reason to crunch you with words But you sabotage yourself enough, this lady returns to be a girl Returns to be a... Girl

My Darling Outbreaks (free) 03:55
If you take the long walk back through the brightest glow The sparkling shade, the doomed and the saved Will take you to your home I need this like that hole carved in my head You kick and scream into your dreams I'm the bull and your the red Struck by enormity, riddled with rust Searching for a heart beyond some yellow dust If nothing ever clears, if it never does retreat I'll keep my legs warm by walking to this beat Smiling at the morning start my drive into the sun Unfold all the gall and eat every wall: simple awareness of what is done I've got the fear now, but I'm not gonna cut its wind off yet The screams down my spine making wasted time I'm not to face just yet I'm gonna sit it on my lap and curl my fingers through its hair Watch me claw up its back and spinal track until I kiss into its cold stare And as lips begin to loosen and its fangs are drawn back in I might just chew on its thighs; the lashing of lies And start All over again. Dreaming myself awake, I don't know where I am One boiled up brain inside of a delirious man Its existence tides my noose But its death would shoot me from shore Every time it breaks me I know I love her more So stay alive and keep breathing you thorny little treat Keep silent and calm whilst waving your arms when our wild eyes do meet No more in the uncertain, I'm through with my wicked ways I'm happy for to sit and watch me host my epic shame Dreaming myself awake, I don't know where I am One boiled up brain inside of a delirious man Define me quietly while I tremble from nerve to nerve With the only thing the diamond ring I truly don't Define me quietly while I tremble from nerve to nerve With the only thing the diamond ring I truly don't deserve Dreaming myself awake, I don't know where I am One boiled up brain inside of a delirious man
