Graffiti on the wall Out the sunroof standing tall If my dad knew what I knew He wouldn't think he knows it all You didn't like the shirt and tie Looking back, I can see why But all the cigarettes and drugs made it up Until the booze dried out I like your hair and I think you're pretty cool It's a shame you're stuck hanging out with such a loser But driving round town and checking sundown from the ferris wheel Makes me glad we bend the rules They say you're a bad Influence, and I'd bet my Fifty cents that they're right But when you showed up at my Door asking to sleep on the couch I remember why I skip class with you Cuz your soul burns bright Through vomit, hepatitis and the flu I don't know what I'd do without you

Anagram 02:58
Fell down in the dark again Cleave my soul in twain I remember some things but not everything So send in the heartache, I'm ready for the pain New friend! You seem familiar Feels wrong to say we've never met before Just like stepping through a mirror Feels the same at first, but I am left wanting more You know forgiveness never hurt anyone Mercy never hurt anyone before Before I miss the old days dearly Now we sing a different tune So I play these new games teary Deciphering the meaning of these new runes
3.
Cry Again 02:46
Sometimes I wish I cried more frequently Rest my shoulders and let it all out Something about me keeps me from weeping And I wanna feel my tears, I don't care what they're about Does that make me strange? Shouldn't it be the other way around? I can't feel the tears in my eyes For all I know they're not even there Feels like I can't really realise What is keeping me from laying my soul bare Whatever, I guess I'm just stone cold Emotional ringtone clone So I'll stare at my phone til 3am Reading about how my problems are actually so overblown Cuz it makes me feel less strange But I don't mind feeling strange So how long til I can Cry again? Used to do it all the time Only ten years ago my life has moved so slowly But I still like to play pretend Sometimes I wish I cried more frequently Rest my soul and let it all out Something inside me keeps from me weeping Soaks up all the tears and deletes what they're about

Bread 03:30
Sunday night and I haven't eaten yet Lying in bed, wishing I was feeling Less like death My only company On my phone Cheers me up and calms me down My constant companion when I'm alone I get up to get some Food from the fridge To help with my mood A tasty sandwich And I wish I had some Better bread A little stale, got nothing on the Best So I buy it up from the bakers Saying sourdough is my favourite Within the wheat grain, water, salt and yeast Won't you sit with me and eat? Good bread and a Comfortable bed A phone that charges at least up to Sixty percent Friends who listen to your problems Easy access to some chocolate The simplest pleasures to get through life are Always the best What's better than warm, fresh bread? Playing games til 3am? What's better than warm, fresh bread? Seeing your friends when you're upset? What's better than warm, fresh bread? Taking a break when you're ahead? What's better than warm, fresh bread? Finding out there's a whole loaf left

about

Me and my acoustic guitar have this lil thing going, sometimes I strum it and sometimes it plays the right chords.

Songwriting for me is the crystallisation of my emotions, packaging them up in neat little parcels the same way crying releases excess brain chemicals. I feel quite strongly about a lot of things, such as video games and bread, this is a little set of thoughts and yearnings from the last few months, off my chest and straight to your ears for reconsumption and assimilation. Hope you like them!
