Love and Loss

I love this book called Stig of the Dump
I lived vicariously through it
It fulfilled my childhood dream
Of having a friend who cared about me
I always check my phone at 4 AM
In case my friends are dying
Or somebody needs me
But it's always some spam account
Selling fake Spotify Streams
Oh well, sweet dreams to me
I'll be up 'till the morning light
I'll be up all night
I'll be up mourning a life
That we managed to ignite
(I'd just like to sleep sometimes)
I think I'm leaking out gasoline
From all the holes in my armour
And if there's a way that I can feel clean
Light me up 'cause I think
That I'm finally going under
I know I lost my cool when I told you I was leaving
And then four night busses and three hours later
Everything that we had was put on a pyre
I'll be up 'till the morning light
I'll be up all night
I'll be up mourning a life
That we couldn't quite get right
I'd just like to sleep sometimes
I'd just like to sleep sometimes
I'd just like to sleep sometime
I'll be up 'till the morning light
I'll be up all night
I'll be up mourning a life
That we managed to ignite
And I'll be up 'till the morning light
I'll be up all night
I'll be up mourning a life
That we couldn't quite get right

After Tonight

Text me tomorrow when this feels alright
You always lose your temper at night
You've been working all day and the dishes aren't done
I guess I'm depressed and I've done it all wrong
You say that you haven't changed
And if that's true
I guess I'm the one who broke down halfway
And not you
But it's never you
Darling is it?
You saved my life
And I feel like I'm weighing yours down
Let's cut our losses and just call time
While you can still stand to have me around
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight you're never gunna be
Able to look me in the eye
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
Posted a picture of the cafe from our first day
"Wouldn't believe how much I missed this place
Feels so weird being back in the bar"
You're talking to my friend should I ask how you are?
I'll never know what that last kiss meant
I'll text you tomorrow to check that you got my rent
Let's do some shots and I'll try to keep it down
While your new boyfriend bums another free round
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight you're never gunna be
Able to look me in the eye
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
I can't say that I'm sorry for all the things we do
Took our defences and I'm sorry for all the things
We ruined A-yo we had some good times didn't we?
I think we had some big dreams didn't we?
Not that I seem to remember them now
That they're buried six feet under the ground
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na no
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight you're never gunna be
Able to look me in the eye
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)
After tonight you're never gunna be
Able to look me in the eye
After tonight this will never feel right
Ever again (Ne-never again)

Lost in Translation

Feeling complete
Well, that'll be the day
I think I'm such an intellectual
But I'm just so inconsequential
I think that I'm changing the world
When I have nothing to say
And I can overthink my way
Into a car crash
Once I pull the wheel
There's no getting my mind back
Am I good? Am I bad?
And does it even matter?
They'll identify my heart by
The pattern of the splatter
Don't ask me why we don't interact
Textbook millennial insomniacs
And I've got three things in common with you
Brown eyes, self-hatred and Scooby-Doo
We wanted to be just like the gang on TV
Unmask all our demons
And just set ourselves free
(Set ourselves free)
Just set ourselves free
(Set ourselves free)
Just set ourselves free
(Set ourselves free)

Night Tremors

My muscles shake when I try to sleep
I hold too much tension in my body
I wake up and can't move sometimes
A woman in the corner is watching me
I used to call your name
Scream our whole apartment down
Now I just clench my fists
And choke for air
'Cuz we're not friends, and you're not around
And I know that there is nothing there
I wish that I could rewind
I know so much better now
All the answers that I'm starting to find
They aren't a lot of good to me now
I'm never very kind to myself
I'm sure that I've messed my life up
I'll lose all my teeth and my dreams
People try to tell me things and I just interrupt
I don't know why I think
That people should care about me
But please could you care about me?
I wish that I could rewind
I know so much better now
All the answers that I'm starting to find
They aren't a lot of good to me now
I'm never very kind to myself
I turn up the heat on the shower
Until I cook myself alive
When the days bleed into hours
It's nice to feel something, sometimes
I try to sleep in the daylight
I can't help myself from overthinking
Checking your insta
'Gainst my better nature
Seems like you've been doing
A lot of day-drinking
I wish that I could rewind
I know so much better now
All the answers that I'm starting to find
They aren't a lot of good to me now
I'm never very kind to myself
And I wish that I could rewind
I know so much better now
All the answers that I'm starting to find
They aren't a lot of good to me now
I'm never very kind to myself

The Intercross
04:04

Cuddling in hospital beds
The screaming is coming from outside the window
Not knowing where to call my home
And losing at games on your cousin's iPhone
I'm moving next week but we hardly speak
So I doubt you even care
At the intercross
Of love and loss
You'll find me there
Waiting out my golden years
At the intercross
Of love and loss
We made it clean
At such a cost
Oatmilk in your morning tea
Two seats at a cafe full of cats
Crying at cartoons on the TV
And keeping you awake with incessant panic attacks
I didn't treat you right but you were full of spite
And neither one of us was fair
At the intercross
Of love and loss
You'll find me there
Waiting out my golden years
At the intercross
Of love and loss
We made it clean
At such a cost
We made our bed now we lie in it
We made our bed now we lie in it
We made our bed now we lie in it
A bed of roses
A bed of roses
At the intercross
Of love and loss
You'll find me there
Waiting out my golden years
At the intercross
Of love and loss
We made it clean
At such a cost
At the intercross
Of love and loss
You'll find me there
Waiting out my golden years
At the intercross
Of love and loss
We made it clean
At such a cost
