I May Be / Curiosity
02:17
|
|||
|
Would you repeat the distance
Just to put you further away from me
I may be curious but I won't ask you anything at all
Are you sure that this is the best timing
Do you feel as afraid as me
I may be curious but I won't ask you anything at all

Daydreaming In The Dark
01:56
|
|||
|
We can count down from negative numbers
Will we outlast others, I do wonder
I'm always looking for a shortcut, an easy way around
Although this doesn't feel unfamiliar
It's different from before, rather than better
I'm always looking for a reason to come around
Daydreaming in the dark
I'll sleep this off
I'm not so lost
Now that your body's gone
So for now I'll long for
Daydreaming in the dark

An Anniversary
03:18
|
|||
|
It's almost been a year
By the time this goes out probably a year and a half
By then two years since you were above with deep breaths and mistakenly thinking that this was a good idea
As if it's somehow conducive to a better year
I'll sing for you
You can drink to me
We've everything to lose but that's it
I don't hold that candle anymore
I burn for different things
Now I weigh it up
What I've learned against what I never knew
It's probably best that we didn't see it through because it never was enough
Now I'm not waiting up
Sleepless nights, long days, and faking love
It took a while but now I know that it never was enough
Now I'm thinking of...
It's almost been five years
By the time this goes out an anniversary should be here
Avoiding eye contact and faking love with a touch on me
Thinking that this was a good idea
As if it was ever conducive to a better year
I'll forgive you, you can forget me
We lost everything we had but that's it
I don't hold that candle anymore
I burn for different things
Now I weigh it up
What I've learned against what I never knew
I know it's best that we didn't see it through because it never was enough
Now I'm not waiting up
Sleepless nights, long days, and faking love
It took a while but now I know that it never was enough
Now I don't think of it much

Eve Of The Eve
03:22
|
|||
|
Leave me hanging
If you don't then I will
It's not like I had a choice but to wait up
A promise notwithstanding
Are you guilty of it
Still I lay awake
Were you feeling run-down
Did I catch you on the rebound
Not wanting to be found out
This is the eve of the eve
It's the beginning of the end of everything
Is this not what you wanted
Leave me stranded
Until you've had your fill
I'll see you in a week or two when you wake up
A simple misunderstanding
I must've tortured him for years that I pissed away
You should've seen the colour fall from his face
Every single shade of hate
-Were you ready for this
-Were you ready for anything

Lie As Liars Do
02:17
|
|||
|
I'm sat in an empty room devoid of the things that failed to prove their worth to me
I can't see you, which says more than I ever could
Now I'm blue
I'm not above admitting that I'm not happy for you
Time didn't change that crueler trait so I'll lie as liars do
I'm sat in the shade of a tree
The youth of the people here just killing me
When did I become the oldest in any place after years of being the green one
Now I'm bitter too
I'm not above admitting that I'm not happy for you
Time didn't change that crueler trait so I'll lie as only liars do

(What) I'll Be To You
03:15
|
|
||
|
Some days I get a taste of the bad nights
I'm not struggling and I can't even rhyme right
I put a pen to the paper and I can't even write
I'm telling myself not to ask you anything tonight
I'll be to you
What the daylight is to the moon
I'll be to you
What a lie is to the truth
The distance is irrelevant
The signals are everywhere
I've learned to forget them
You were always good at that
Did you get a sense of the limelight
The centre of attention
That's just what your life's like
Speaking louder than needed
In hopes they'll overhear our conversations
As dull as they were
They still kept us up at night
Girl, will you carry the mantle
Will you carry my burdens through
Will you live in shame at my mistakes
Or will you make the same ones too
I'll be to you
What the outside is to the comfort of your room
I'll be to you
All we know to all we never knew
The timing was irrelevant
The signals were everywhere
I've just learned to forget them
Weren't you always good at that

A Coming Home
03:03
|
|||
|
This is a coming home
It's a reason
This is everything and more
I caught your sentiments
You were doing wrong
You called me everything
I strung you up in song
You found yourself fighting a corner in envy
All I'll ask is that you just remember
Without the ghosts of looking back
Painting it differently
It might be tempting but I'm attempting to be more than myself before
This is me moving home
Forgetting this
Words aren't always enough
I vowed to leave it
You were doing wrong
I thought the distance would do it
I still see you in song
Are you coming
I'm leaving

Skin For Safety
03:17
|
|||
|
Why can't you just face it
Every word is calculated
An extra layer of skin for safety
I'll take you to task on it
As always your reasoning is faltering
A quick escape, more talk with no meaning
You're beginning to grate on me
There are lessons yet to learn
I wish I could fake it but that still escapes me
You reach out and ask how I'm doing
I'll get back to you on it
As always my reasoning is faltering
A quick escape, more talk with no meaning
Am I beginning to grate on you
There are lessons yet to learn
This is the time that we spoke about
Said we'd die if it ever came
This is the time that we spoke of
Thought that it would never come

Wreckless
02:20
|

|
You fix you shirt
You straighten up down the river bank
Hoping we don't get found out
God willing
You say you feel it streaming
Laugh it off
We assess the scene and everything that we're feeling
Are you asking me for anything or nothing at all
It was good when it was, while it was
Until it wasn't
We didn't have to be so reckless
We didn't have to cause a scene
We didn't need to make a mess of it
We didn't need to up and leave

Knee Tattoo
05:15
|
|||
|
I expected more when I thought I saw you
An illusion shattered by a knee tattoo
Needles were never kind to you
I thought I'd be crushed but I was just curious
Though I can't lie
Thoughts of a Summer like no other
It took me back to when my senses were lost
I came back from it swinging
In time I'll forget your name
There's a numbness bound to be found it
When it does I'll be ready with shovel in ground
You can carry on singing your song
Had you really thought that I would haunt you
I wasn't vacant but you weren't too
We took a chance when we had to choose
An end to silence or eternal blues
Though I can't like
Back in a Summer like no other
It was a time before an innocence lost
I came back from it swinging
In time I'll forget your name
There's a numbness bound to be found it
When it does I'll be ready with shovel in ground
You can carry on singing your song

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems.
