The ground

I feel grateful for the years, wasted
I don’t need no bucket list
I rest my head on his shoulder
Grateful for the years I didn’t know how
To build those walls
And pour concrete on the ground
The ground
How long does it take to get you nowhere?
What shitload of thoughts to only go elsewhere?
How much does your mind weigh?
Mine is heavier than the rain
Move your body in rhythm
It’ll only take me to the ground
The ground
And I don’t know if music makes me
If music makes me
And you don’t know if music makes you
Does music make you
Ah...
And I don’t know if music makes me
If music makes me
Does music make me
Terribly terribly
Excited or lonely
Surrounded or lonely?

Claire you don’t want to be saved
You don’t want to talk about it
Claire you don’t want to explain
You know I’ll burn the flowers, call your mum
And that lover of yours you’re trying to love
Claire you wish you’d find a way
To dig yourself out
From under the rubble
Claire help us find a way
To reach each other thru the pain and the shadows of
That lover of yours you don’t know how to love...
Claire you don’t to be saved
Claire you don’t to be saved
Claire you don’t to be saved
Claire you don’t to
Claire tu ne veux pas être sauvée

Order

It hurts in videos
It hurts in the streets
It hurts from the look on their faces
Yes sir take me out of my car, break the window
Shoot me while i’m shooting you
Cameras are dangerous devices
Please shoot me while i’m home
Looking out of my window
It hurts in bodies
It hurts when we sleep
It’s terrifying
This vision of us
Though we march as one
Body
Crippled and screaming
You shot your own leg
How could you do this
In the name of
Order, silence, discipline, empty streets
Is that what you wish for
Is this a world that make you dream
Is that what you wish for
Is this a dream that helps you stand?
Though we march as one
Army
Divided and helpless
You tied your own hands
Why would you do this
In the name of
Order, silence, discipline, empty streets
Is that what you wish for
Is this a dream that helps you stand
Is that what you wish for
Is this a dream you want to share?
Please open fire on me
While i’m shouting my pain
For living in a world where you shoot people for
Order, for silence, for discipline, for discipline
Open fire on me
While i’m shouting my pain
For living in a world where you shoot your own people for
Order, for silence, for discipline, discipline

Benny you’re a heartbreaker
You broke my heart at sixteen
I think you’re strong enough
I think you’re worth it
I think you’re worth the shot
I know that you liked her
And in all my hearts of hearts
I see you spinning
Like a spinning top
With your heart in your mouth
Benny you’re a heartbreaker
You broke my at sixteen
Benny you’re a heartbreaker
You broke my heart at sixteen
And you’re tearing it apart
Again
I gave it different shots
Tried any language
I jogged up to your door
And you seemed to love her
In all my hearts of hearts
I watch you swivelling
What is it that you see and I can’t seem to find in me?
Benny you’re a heartbreaker
You broke my at sixteen
Benny you’re a heartbreaker
You broke my heart at sixteen
And you’re tearing it apart
Again
/ I see you don't seem to know

Are we a team?
03:43
|

I’m dreaming of
The country sprawling across the border
On the shoreline on
The same ground that goes by a different name
Though I have the feeling
I’m a passenger like any other
Finger on my lips
Under the seats asking:
“Are we a team?”
Now are we a team ?
They’re taming us
Slowly taming us out of hunger
They want us transparent
They want us out of their lands
Though I have the feeling
I’m a passenger like any other
What in my DNA sets me appart?
Are we a team ?
Now are we team ?
Oh I’m dreaming on

Fall asleep
03:40
|

|
I went to bed with my hair tied up
I’ll get up with just as much power
I’ll turn the light on many times
I’ll fall asleep someday
Give me some book I can read
When I’m about to sleep
That will keep me up
Try anything you can sing
To lull me out of sleep
I don’t want to give in now
I don’t want to give in now
I’ll keep that power inside

Nice ride

It doesn’t take half as much
To know it’s nearly enough
I didn’t need twice as much
To know it’s nearly enough
I was hunting high and low half-heartedly
But my heart was someplace else
It was never for you
With all the questions, we ruined the fun
I didn’t need twice as much
To know the fire was out
They didn’t need half as much
To know that we’re not in love
We could’ve cut the hunting and talked things out
Well that’s a lesson learnt
With all the questions, we ruined the fun
Yet that was the best part
It doesn’t take half as much…

Old self
03:26

I killed my old self
If you call her, she won’t answer
It was better this way
Better without
The people will leave
There’ll be holes in your city
Empty spots on the map
Of your emotional territory
It’s all in my head
The body doesn’t change, it burns
It’s all in my head
My body hasn’t changed, I just learnt
I chose not to stay
But you need not worry
It was better this way
Better without
The people will change
They will make up new stories
To account for the gaps
The gaps in their narratives
It’s all in my head
The body doesn’t change, it burns
It’s all in my head
My body hasn’t changed, I just learnt

Watch me turn
03:12
|

|
Rooftops, grey smoke
I wrote your name the moment that I woke
And I feel the need to work and fill
My empty box
Nineteen, age of glory
I need some time for me
You took your night shift oh
Nineteen, not much glory
Apart from writing poetry
I’m taking some time off
Spare days, spent idle
The shapes (the shapes), waves (waves), tidal
Are we grown-up kids?
At least we’re making it
Does it feel odd?
Do you think we’re shifting into scaly animals?
I watched you shed your skin
You watched me turn

My sister

This is the end my sister you’ll heal
It only takes you and you to be free
This is the end my sister you’ll grow
Stronger with pain and stronger with time
Ah
This is the end my sister you’ll grow
Stronger with pain and stronger with time
This is the end you’ll grow a new skin
You’ll buy your own house
And then it will disappear (the pain)
This is the end you know how to play
Don’t give him a chance
To fuck up with you and your life
Ah
This is the end
you have to say no
it’s too much already
