Worse (my 20's) 02:34
lyrics
got this feeling the world's got it in for me it's just my thoughts, I don't need no sympathy wrong place wrong time, no more destiny new face old lines, it's a fallacy keep calm and carry on, they're telling me could have it worse, suck it up and be quit whining and drink your cup of evergreen could have it worse, could have it start the year trapped in a dated scene mid march slowly eats at my self esteem by July I'm clawing at the tv screen every lie is told through a bulletin keep calm and carry on, they're telling me could have it worse, suck it up and be quit whining and drink your cup of evergreen could have it worse, could have it too many dead for me to mourn for forgot the life we're supposed to long for i need a year, or maybe three or four don't know the point in dreaming of 'before' keep calm and carry on, they're telling me could have it worse, suck it up and be quit whining and drink your cup of evergreen could have it worse, could have it

Love Shame 02:42
lyrics
i find you so beautiful you find me so difficult you don't know what you're missing though maybe we should give this a go i find you so interesting you think i'm a strange ol' thing maybe we're onto something time to start a new love fling uh oh it's a shame i never know what to say to you i think you should give me a call even though i never answer my phone i think we've been too much alone time to give this love a go i'll ask you questions about your day and then i'll forget every word you say maybe we should go on a date you pick the time and i wont be late uh oh it's a shame i never know how to talk to you (like ... at all) i guess the truth is that there's nothing that i know about you or how you think about me or anything guess this is a one sided fling uh oh it's a shame i don't know what to do about it i find you so beautiful you find me so difficult you dont know what you're missing though maybe we should give this a go

An Ode To Pleasure 03:20
lyrics
When do I know it’s all okay Maybe I was just born this way Press your hand against my cheek Maybe for once I can fake I’m not weak something gnawing at my resolve, let it go let it go Something curling up in folds, hurry home hurry home Something burning in my soul, and I know and I know that It should be easy, to let you please me What is the point in all this fear This hole in my chest that wont disappear You place your hand upon my knee I Watch as my skin is clawing free Something’s waiting in your eyes, never mind never mind Something everyone’s so fine with, but not I not i Something shrouded in desire, and I mind and I mind It should be easy, to let you please me Put your head on my shoulder Stay there till we grow older Run your fingers along my thigh B7 D I promise I wont flinch, or I promise to try When do I know it’s all okay Maybe I was just born this way…

Anymore (Dear Old Friend) 03:41
lyrics
Dear old friend I thought I saw your face in a crowd These memories are too loud for me My mind's probably playing tricks on me And I pass the street where you lived and I still remember your house So vivid so vibrant so sad and sore Knowing you don't live there anymore Anymore I wish I could drag you from my mind Tear and your neck, claw at your eyes and scream at you to leave Please leave me be And I Think I still miss you but I can't be sure Think I just miss not being insecure Do you even think of me at all? Anymore... Dear old friend you were in my dreams last night No peace for the wicked or maybe just spite Whatever it is could you just keep it quiet And I wonder if I'd ever even hear of your death Or just feel it like a stab to my chest? That you're gone and you're gone and you're gone and you're gone And I Wish I could drag you from my mind Tear and your neck, claw at your eyes and scream at you to leave Please leave me be And I want to reach out to you but I'm so tired I scream and I falter and I tremble like a child I often wonder if I even want you to Anymore Anymore Dear old friend I guess it's up to me to tell you Sometimes I wish that I still knew you Or the version of you that remains in my head Can't go back To what we were before we fell out Back when everything was sure I've no doubt That that place don't exist anymore...

Underneath 04:14
lyrics
when the ice melts on the window sill cant abate the weight of summers kill and in the morning when the sky's still pink can you feel the chill in the writer's ink changing weather makes me feel so small painted skies and trees that grow too tall carpet leaves and webs have no control over me or underneath bury me deep into the earth I'll dig so far to find our worth I'll keep looking for a reason sure I'll find someone that needs it I'll bring your trowel down to the ocean drink up the brine until we're poisoned slice your knife right through my chest just to check there's something left something left changing weather makes me feel so small painted skies and trees that grow too tall carpet leaves and webs have no control over me or underneath bury me deep into the earth I'll dig so far to find our worth I'll keep looking for a reason sure I'll find someone that needs it I'll bring your trowel down to the ocean drink up the brine until we're poisoned slice your knife right through my chest just to check there's something left (just to check there's something left x3

Who I Am 03:24
lyrics
it's hard for me to be myself when i don't know who i am feel like i'm just an empty shelf filled with empty photographs and i might be all alright if i don't think hard enough and i might feel better after i pushed it under a rug as much as i try to open up, something always keeps me seized shut as much as i try to make it right, all i do is fuck it up alright maybe when i'm older then i'll know, i tell myself every couple years or so maybe when i'm older then i'll know who i am And i don't know who i am X3 as much as i try to open up, something always keeps me seized shut as much as i try to make it right, all i do is fuck it fuck it up alright maybe when i'm older then i'll know, i tell myself every couple years or so maybe when i'm older then i'll know who i am

More To Life (outro) 01:00
lyrics
they say life is what you make it I've tried so hard to fake it till i make it they say it won't be easy it ain't no lemon squeezy or easy peasy but is it selfish to hope that there's more to life than this is it selfish to believe that there's more to life than this...
