Real Shit

This is real shit
I came up with
I've been working on working it out
I try to feel this
Too hard to deal with
Pull the words right out of my mouth

Night Light
03:22
|

|
Surprised what hides in a paper bag
Left in the puddle of a memory I never had
You said that we would last
I said a lot of thing and always that fast
I don't know what it means
But I said it to almost everyone I meet
You weren't different you were just a change
From this boring life I have maintained and I'll
Keep on sleepin' with a night light
Shot stars on the wall to help me sleep
Ears ring from being in this night life
Got scars from the faces you'll never see
And people you'll never meet
I found your number in a paper bag
I never called but I guess I never have
And you asked me to stop and think
I spared you a thought at the top of my drink
I know you don't know what it means
But you get hung up on everywhere I sleep
It should never have got to this
But you just seemed like a break that I could fix and I'll
Keep on sleepin' with a night light
Shot stars on the wall to help me sleep
Ears ring from being in this night life
Got scars from the faces you'll never see
And people you'll never meet
In places you'll never be
I don't know what you mean
When you say it wasn't me
And I don't know who to believe
I don't know what you mean
When you say it's you and me
And I don't know who to believe
When you say it wasn't me
And I'll
Keep on sleepin' with a night light
Shot stars on the wall to help me sleep
Ears ring from being in this night life
Got scars from the faces you'll never see
And people you'll never meet
In places you'll never be
And faces you'll never see

Sleep
03:53
|

If I dig deep and find that comforting sound would you
Still leave before I've barely come down
Would you risk me if I'm the only one around
I'm in six feet but I've been coming around
And you're wrist deep in my vomiting mouth
and now it's shit creek with only you for company
But your company means more than
Sleep at night
Or spending my days in decent health
Sleep at night
Cos right now I don't wanna be anybody else
When I swear that it won't happen again and I'm
Halfway through mouthfuls stacking them in
If it seems like I'm making up for time that I lost it's cos I am
You've got me between a rock and this house
With my loose sleeve and my thoughtless mouth
If you leave me you'll be leaving for better company
Cos your company means more than
Sleep at night
Or spending my days in decent health
Sleep at night
Cos right now I don't wanna be anybody else
This sleep that i've been thirsty for
There is no amount of water won't make me thirsty anymore
I need a lift to my van in the morning
Help me out I'll give you something in my yawning
Even if our friendship isn't tangible
I'm grateful you can even stand at all
Sleep at night
Or spending my days in decent health
Sleep at night
Cos right now I don't wanna be anybody else

I head you whisper in your sleep
All the dreams you held so deep
Where we'd be in another life
You don't need me
I don't need you
But here we are with our bodies you can see through
I watched the way you looked at me
When all I wanna do is leave
Spend my life in another dive
Fleshy 3D
Touching me too
Said starving for someone to finally feed you
We found depth was spaceless
Too close to ever be alone
And death came faceless
As she came down and tore down this home
Lost pace in a far away city
Carved my name in stone
Your feet stuck fast
Such a pity
Never felt so
I never felt so alone
On the day I left my keys
Broke my heart to fuckin' leave
Live my life out the back seat
All these old sheets
Crusty white stains
Sitting staring and thinking only in your migrane
We found depth was spaceless
Too close to ever be alone
And death came faceless
As she came down and tore down this home
Lost pace in a far away city
Carved my name in stone
Your feet stuck fast
Such a pity
Never felt so
I never felt so alone
It all fell to pieces
We can leave all this shit behind watch it as it burns inside
Another night I'm sleepless
It's playing on my worried mind another fucking waste of time
Lost pace in a far away city
Carved my name in stone
All this tension
Never fit me
Never felt so
I never felt so alone

Like About You
05:09

I know it's not right
But I find it hard to resist
It's impossible when I'm pissed
You're the hot stove that my mother said not to touch
But I burned my hands and began to prove bad luck
Come waste some time
Am I just lonely
And obsessed with anyone who wants me?
I'm scared to be alone with you
You said you loved me
But I think you might just be lonely
And that's my favourite thing about you
Fuck, it's the only thing I like about you
I'll drive to your house
For ten minutes pressed to your face
You jumped your window to escape
I think I lied when I said I would give you up
Please look me in the eyes
Say 'get the fuck out of my life'
Come waste some time
Welcome to this hell of mine
Am I just lonely
And obsessed with anyone who wants me?
I'm scared to be alone with you
You said you loved me
But I think you might just be lonely
And that's my favourite thing about you
Fuck, it's the only thing I like about you
Come waste some time
Come waste your life
Welcome to this hell of mine
This hell of mine
We'll be alright
We'll be just fine if you might burn with me tonight
This is real shit
I came up with
Count the steps to all of these doubts
You said you need this
I think we both did
We have to dance round all that we found

Pubic Hair
02:34
|

|
Teach me how to stand up for myself
Don't wanna be second best forever
Always a pubic hair short of greatness
Been great but I've gotta be better than that
How to stand up so hard
Without sounding like a condescender
Cos nobody can meet my eyes
Been great but I've gotta be better than that
When all of you
Is falling through
Don't let that be your only definition
Of falling through a floor or two but
Sometimes you need me and
Sometimes you don't
I make it easy and
I made a joke
You never laugh hard
It's always the breath part
And I won't regret what I wrote
We speak violently and ill
As a result of what our fathers gave us
But we don't have to live like that
Everything is what you made up
Always a heart to break
Always a pain to weather
Always afraid of disappointing someone
Been great but I gotta be better than that
When all of you
Is falling through
Don't let that be your only definition
Of falling through a floor or two but
Sometimes you need me and
Sometimes you don't
I make it easy and
I made a joke
You never laugh hard
It's always the breath part
And I won't regret what I wrote
Rest your head on my beaten chest
Cos I need my rest and I need my meds

Pizza Vouchers
04:03

|
We've got time to waste
It's no use when I'm talking to you
And all my mistakes tend to fall by the wayside
When you find the breaks
Pull up outside my house
With spines to break
I'll let you inside
I don't wanna hear from you
I'll walk the streets without ya
I don't wanna find anything in the mail
Except for pizza vouchers
Got enough shit from you
Don't come around here I don't need you anymore
As you shed your tears don't leave them at my door
Under half moon glint
With not a minute we can spend alone
In a bathroom sink glowing reflections of you
I don't wanna hear from you
I'll walk the streets without ya
I don't wanna find anything in the mail
Except for pizza vouchers
Got enough shit from you

Commit
04:38
|
|||
|
I'm starting to see this apathy
Amongst my many friends
From running as fast as my feet can go
Without any legs
What started as free has now a degree
That I've lost so many friends
From running away from anything
That starts making sense
You can't commit to anything at all
So don't commit to more than you can hold
You can't commit to anyone at all
So don't commit to me
What reality finds is faint to describe
Slowly turns to shit
While we're planning things we'll never do
I can't make the trip
What started as free has now a degree
That I've lost so many friends
From shaking away any leaves my branch cannot bend
You can't commit to anything at all
So don't commit to more than you can hold
You can't commit to anyone at all
So don't commit to me
And I know there's no time like the present tense
But the past has got me thinking that the present meant
That I can't commit to anything at all

Master the Art
04:01

|
Don't turn on the light
Don't wanna look you in the eyes
Don't pretend it's right
It all looks so clear from this height
When everything's a fight
It all looks so simple in hindsight
Don't pretend it's right
Tell me what you see in these eyes
You make me weak
As I've always been
I'll try to think about what that might mean
If you find the strength can you lend some to me
I'll try to think about what that might mean
I'll never get to sleep
Out of the fear of what I might dream
It would seem my friends and me
Take whatever helps them sleep
You can take my life
And you can take my love
Just let me take those cigarette burns off your heart
After all you said to me
I find it hard to breathe
I hope you wake up to find that sleep has taken me
You make me weak
As I've always been
I'll try to think about what that might mean
If you find the strength can you lend some to me
I'll try to think about what that might mean
There is no escape
Cos I find it hard avoiding you when we're in the same place
Whip me up into shape
So I can finally be a size that you wanted to trace
We found disaster
After we mastered the art
We found it harder
After we mastered the art

Early Grave
04:09
|
|||
|
Nothing is as good as it seems
Protruding through the zip of my jeans
Now I'm fading away like bleach upon denim
All you can see is the holes I punched in them
You're a piece of shit
And a selfish fuck
You've ruined any legs left I had to trust
And now I'm stumbling like a teenage drunk
Smoking three six five between my lungs
I know you like the back of my hand
But the freckles and scars don't match the man
When our palms meet I slip away
You make my firm grip decay
Shakes and shakes of adrenaline rush
Get back on your bike if you pedal with us
Travel until your legs give in
Doing three sixty degrees in spins
I can feel you running through my veins
With a different pulse but nothing's changed
All you ever gave withdrawal pains
Rush towards an early grave
Take take take these tired tones
Break break break these brittle bones
And make me feel like someone else
Take me as myself

Forgotten Codes
07:49
|
|||
|
You opened your mouth to send blood into the night
And you closed your eyes to swallow the light
A moment flickered hope but that moment quickly died
You inhaled your pride and breathed out your life
All your forgotten codes left you alone
Forgot the words you spoke as you lost your home
I wanted to tell you to turn around
I wanted to tell you I need you around
I'm just your little brother
You always worked so hard now you fucking quit
A heart of gold that you turned to shit
All your forgotten codes left you alone
Fuck the words you spoke
Won't you come on home
I wanted to tell you to turn around
I wanted to tell you I need you around
Why would I even bother?
I'm just your little brother
Who'll be there to catch you next time around
Cos I always had you when I fell down
I'll go that distance next time around
Cos I always had you when I fell down
