Moonphase Bloom

Well let’s go straight down the rat race
you always knew my favourite place of hiding
and dreaming
you’re steaming cause you don't think there's a way
You're steaming cause you don't tell the story straight
look just at your face
this day, this phase
this phrasing of a maze
this moonphase..
hey you hold on for one more day
disconnect your devices
unplug the wires
all we have are feelings
hey you, you could be the one
but all we want to do is disconnect from
everyone that ever was
can we stay forever young?
you can hold the back door, I got the front
and nobody up the stairs
free movie sites
say something like
maybe just stick around
I could keep you for the weekend baby
I don't mean to freak you out!
I was like a virus you were like a medicine
I didn't have to go out there
why do I have to be addicted to your love?
well lead us back to the old place, nobody recognises us inside..
well let's go straight down the rat race
you always knew my favourite place of hiding
and dreaming
you're steaming cause you don't think there's a way
you're steaming cause you don't know the story
or these memories or these restless nights
I would wake up sweating and scared and honestly I don't know why
I am not forgetting I think about you all the time
if you knew that you were leaving why did you not say it?
goodbye..
can we stay forever young?
chicken hold the back door I got the front
and nobody’s up the stairs
can we stay forever young?
you can hold the back door, I got the front
and nobody up the stairs
free movie sites
say something like
maybe just stick around
I could keep you for the weekend baby
I could keep you for the weekend yeah
I don't mean to freak you out!
I was like a virus you were like a medicine
somewhere up the stairs in a cabinet
unexplained absence and missing tablets
now I have to call everyone

Old Moods
03:12
|
|||
I’m dissolving in the booth
just wear another Saturday gown
I know you’re upset
but you can’t block the whole world out
you were in your own mood
I was in the other room
I know that for you this is so hard
I was on my old phone, hoping to get left alone
with my concrete heart..
All my life I’ve been waiting for something real
All my life I’ve been waiting for something real
put your chopsticks on
what you tie your hair back with
praying mantis
like a mother only sees potential in young eyes
some of yours shimmering
and maybe some of mine
flickering
transient
preferable
help me put the pressure on,
there’s no polite way
there’s not any way
to leave without an explanation
and I didn’t see your faces,
overwhelmingly I’m feeling you just felt betrayed
In your own way
A gesture
Hand signals on the wall and the french doors
you ask me and I say that I think it’s a ‘fenetre’
you can put your mind at rest
they’re not talking about us
you were in your own mood
I was in the other room
I know that you’re homesick, and so far
all we have is phone calls,
is he cursing these walls?
or can we live it?
All my life I’ve been waiting for something real
All my life I’ve been waiting for something real
I’m running circles again
and all I need is a friend
you’re always saying that
I’m always hearing that
I’m running circles again
and all I need is a friend..
you were in your own mood
I was in the other room
I know that for you this is so hard
I was on my old phone hoping to get left alone
with my concrete heart..
All my life I’ve been waiting for something real
All my life I’ve been waiting for something,
for one thing..
for something real.

A Reformatted Heart
03:29
|
|||
I wish I could stage an evacuation of my mind
I kick in the glass my thoughts leave en masse
down the staircase and behind
once outside and standing in a line
these memories want to get back
but I cannot abide them
don't even recognise them
I realise it's my fault..
and theres no one else to blame
with my conspiracies again
old lawn cart, won't jump start
ask your son to clean my car
roll the jack, zodiac
old anxiety attacks me
and I'm running out of time
I wish I could stage some kind of intervention in my heart
gather all my feelings into one chamber and show them how it starts
I’d shuffle up the cabinet, nip it in the bud
my reformatted organ would just pump blood
a vascular automaton
just kicking back on Amazon
can I live like this remotely from my room?
fighting back the curtains gloom each night
you really wouldn't think that it gets that bad
how are so many neuroses on my lyric pad?
tonight
I ripped it up, and threw it out
melancholic flu’s about
apologies if this sounds deadpan
but you would not believe the backup plan I don't have!
this music is my lifeboat..
absorb art, read Descartes
ask your son to clean my car
piggyback, zodiac
old anxiety attacks
Big full stop, empty cup
all our friends are so grown-up
get unstuck, made up luck
all the worlds a diving duck
salty kiss, break your heart
ticked it off on future charts
shimmer skin, young sweetheart
hold the keys to your weak parts
I hold the codes to your weak heart

Everything is all inside my bag
and I can’t stop the dog thing anymore
and its hard to concentrate
when you were hoping i might choke on my words
lets call the ship around
before we’re dead I should get to know you
and what you think about
crypto
why don’t we drive somewhere perfectly awake?
and let the sun rise up on all primates
and while were on it
at least i was honest
maybe just a little too clear
Mich, you’re an agent..
of fear
time is running out
these psychopaths are moving
they run this house
and Linda Moulton Howe
has documented Aliens
and if I understand this right you..
probably know
culture is a frame
i don’t want to go the same way
we get one chance
and its already hard explaining
my gappy resume
which ill never be ashamed of
which I’m never filling in

Ironed Shirts
02:39
|

I was so afraid..
driving to that new school
ironed shirts
forced immersion
un-gradeable grades
from my medicated face
and yes
i did
have ideas that they could make me
captive and detained so static in their social world
in a song thats barely a complete thought about it
we figured out what Mr Cook would do
but his temple was so guarded
we made the perfect charmers
Prefects entertained by southern Californian bands
it was then or never we ran
hey, put your raincoat on
just to get along
kiss me when your wrong
and I’m wrong more than I’m right
but tonight
I’d say i qualify
so, girl lets get away
way to kill the vibe
talk about Fluoride on the first date
cause it can’t wait..
now, where are you
I called eleven times
checking you were still mine..

Dallas Knows the Reason
04:22
|

Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting up the night,
Dallas Knows the Reason, Dallas Knows the Reason
standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight,
Dallas Knows the Reason, Dallas Knows the Reason
And now I cannot quite decide if you were serious when you told me you were on your way around to mine, why am I staring at a blank computer terminal again on my Sunday to avoid your call?
I'm not even a massive fan of human interaction lately and that's not your fault at all.
Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason
yeah tin metal cans gonna fly,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason
It's not a mystery when we are destined for decline that you would feel so sad, the existential burden everybody dies. I'm waiting for you. I can't afford you, and moving into your house it was the hardest thing.
I'm not even a massive fan of basic conversation lately and that's not your fault
Standing out there with your shot gun girl you're shooting it up alight,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason
yeah tin metal cans gonna fly,
you could be the reason, you could be the reason
And I'm sure it's deliberately designed I slept on your floor on the last day of 1999.
And a mad social contract that we never signed, or saw or realised was planned for our minds..
Well like any of that mattered anyway,
you're home
were renegades
in our minds.
I'm not done yet, just understand
that you were watching a broken man
I did my time
and had I been like you I might have shook that hand,
I could've took your paycheque in your bank wasteland,
and I could've built my castle on your shifting sands
and hanged.

Clock Hand Reversal
04:35
|
|||
The karma’s coming back
theres only one way out
they want us all gone
I read the Georgia Stones
you’ll know it when you look
the studies have been cooked
but no ones gonna know
we kill our whistleblowers
only hearts of black
whats coming down their tracks?
and who is gonna save us?
these 9/11 babies
the office
the greyscale
the tunnels
the plasterboard
the windows 95
the reason I’m alive
to be clear
for one year
the island
the mainland
the chemtrails
the cocktails
the function
the form
manipulated norms
I’m roughly ignited
I’m changed by this island
I’m wishing i could see you
if the clock hands would turn back
here i am again
feeling out this deep pain
the lobbyists are crazy
cause 9/11 babies
Pharma knows the cure
but profits must endure
regulations failed
they’ve all been blackmailed
the language
the echoes
nostalgia
the clock hands
the windows 95
just as i arrive
it was so clear
for one year
the island
the mainland
the chemtrails
the cocktails
the function
the form
the will inside to overcome it all.

Gush

let it out
all your favourite songs that are just pure classics now
all those headstock names both of us would rave about
and that two week holiday i couldn’t shut up about
i’m calling..
but all i have’s your last reply
You were like the sister I never had
you were like the weight of all the ocean
you were like the tidal wave rolling back
gushing me under
you’re the falling star
you’re the checkerboard
trust this emotion
you’re the morning air
thermodynamic rising
with the ashes of the band
and we could speak in tongues
i’ll make it up again
tabletop spinning glass amongst ringing ears
it’s the world i fear
You were like the sister I never had
you were like the weight of all the ocean
you were like the tidal wave rolling back
gushing me underneath
You were like the sister I never had
you were like the weight of all the ocean
you were like the tidal wave rolling back
gushing me under
you’re the falling star
you’re the checkerboard
unstacked emotion
you’re the avatar
thermodynamic rising
with the ashes of us all
some things they never die

Kimobetsu Love
05:03
|
|||
well is our connection really alright?
we talk about this on our long drives
and you’re no actress
but you know how to get to me
you know I’m not great at goodbyes
you could write it in a thank you card
find out just what kind of great you are
do we even have a right to love
are we going?
you could write it in a thank you card
send a copy if its not too hard
almost close enough to break your heart
are we going?
Kimobetsu Love
It’s what it does to you that makes it feel so strong
you’re mad at your phone again
and the snow is falling so much more up here
and if you gotta run
I guess you gotta run
I guess you gotta run sometimes
from your problems
and your whole life
It’s your second year
your friends have disappeared
I guess they had to go sometime
and if you gotta run
I guess you gotta run
I guess you gotta run sometimes
I know you’re gunna run you always run away
from your problems
and your whole damn life
you could write it in a thank you card
find out just what kind of grateful you are
do we even have a right to love
are we going?
you could write it in a thank you card
find out just what kind of great you are
do we even have a right to love? no!
are we going?
you should write it in your own damn words
just a message pen, paper, start.
even though its gonna wreck your heart
just do it Kimobetsu,
Love has got you standing at the altar now
its what it does to you that makes it feel so strong
Kimobetsu Love
We control disease
Our lobbyists agree
It’s such easy money
So shut your mouth immediately
