FFS 02:33
Hungover in the central line heat Threw up two times this morning; let's not make it 3 It's not very crowded but people are sharing seats And I'm writing lyrics I hope no one can see (Fuck me) [AAAAAAHHHHHHH] Writing about love is so tough Why aren't just three words enough Why do I need to show I care You should know by now I don't lie that often What more is there to add Why can't I just say that I am glad That we met And I want to hang out every day [AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH] My thoughts are kinda fuzzy and it's hard to form a picture of you in my head Three days of taking pills and I'm still wishing I weren't wishing I were dead Going to band practice in Acton to play songs about How much I hate my ex And how I have no idea what romance is yet

Hungover, running on fumes I promise I'll be going home soon But right now it's nice to just lay in the light Look at your face and count the tears coming out of your eyes Ditched my friends so we could hang a little more Then for hours we watched shadows move across the floor Not that I got bored The bus between our houses Is the slowest it's ever been If I gave up and went back to yours Would you let me in? Looks pretty windy out there And the sky's turned grey But I check my phone and it says There's no chance of rain Get off, 5 minutes away Just gotta open my door and then I can claim That I made it out alive And as such everything is alright Staring at my feet I start to move Wondering what it all meant to you And what I can possibly do
3.
You should be right here at this party We should be having some fun But you're in Wales And this party's not in Wales It's in Islington I'm acting pretty fucking spacey I keep thinking of the day That we opened Up our hearts And of the words I couldn't find the braves to say

Love Song 02:14
I feel down sometimes I'll either die by suicide Or alcohol poisoning I've torn apart my body And the scars will never fade I cannot forget my failings I was not built to last When I'm dead throw me in the trash But right now I love you My emotional capacity Is just varying degrees of anger So I've started taking drugs to make me a person But now I'm in bed pressing a pillow to my face Trying to scream but I can't breathe Maybe this time I'll finally suffocate The depression makes it hard to get up And the pills make it hard to get it up But somehow I love you
5.
Leaving the country the same day you get back I'd say I'm sad but I don't get sad But I guess I'm upset that I didn't get to play you my love song before I left Getting drunk at the airport alone Maybe I do need a change of scenery I'm going to the beach I haven't been there in a couple years Last time I went My grandad wasn't dead And I liked my ex But at the time she wasn't my ex Haven't talked to her in about half a year That's been pretty goddamn sweet And now I'm going to the beach Bringing my guitar So I can sing I'll sing about you and I'll sing about me And about the stars Cause the stars in Alabama are pretty I'll sing about my idea of romance I'll sing about my feelings And I'll sing about the beach Cause I'm going to the beach

Stargazing 01:59
Sounds of the surf The waves crashing down The wind in my ears Laying in the now cool sand I feel it inbetween my fingers and in my hair Underneath my nails and stuck to my feet I'm thinking of you And wondering what you are thinking Beach side property This'd make a nice home for you and me We could fish for dinner And write each other poetry Gulf shores evenings Holding hands and star gazing Do you think this could be your fantasy? The future has never looked so bright Illuminated by this starry night I look up at the lights in the sky And I search for a while

This is not my idea of fun Roasting in the summer sun My body hurts This sunburn can't get any worse I love this place Just not in the middle of the day SPF 110 Does not do shit to save my skin The water's warm The riptide's pulling me down the shore In an innertube Look back at the beach and I think I see you I love this place But the heat is making me go insane Either that or you've been On my mind a bit too much well I'm trying To think about things that I like And not just the person that I like Obsession isn't sexy But hey, neither am I with these tan lines
8.
The rain beats down On my guitar My arms are tired It's getting hard To play And I can barely hear my voice over the waves These songs are exhausting To write and sing Especially knowing that They'll amount to nothing And I Am probably wasting my time Jellyfish stings All down my legs Been 4 weeks now And I'm still wishing I weren't wishing I were dead Going home In a day or so And I can't wait To see your face Even though You've already said you don't have feelings for me AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[part 2] 6 hour drive To a 9 hour flight To an hour long Piccadilly line ride To you Thought I might see this one through On Holloway Road And the text arrives That you're sorry but you can't meet up tonight And that's fucked Cause tomorrow I'm leaving for Europe Head back home And take off my clothes Masturbate a little but the porn won't load It's okay I can barely get it up anyway Pick up my guitar Work on gulf storms Realise that this song has the same chords I'm screwed Guess I'll just call it part two You're the riptide of my life I've been pulled into deep water By dreams of being your wife This didn't end right I was supposed to stop by I need a conclusion I need to know why Why you don't like what I'm like Why you don't want to hold me in the night I don't want to go without you for months at a time I need to play you some songs of mine I occasionally remember a conversation From a couple years back Where you said you didn't like holding hands And it's scared me ever since Cause I love holding hands And I love you And I'd love to hold hands with you And feel your fingers between mine Feel you pull me along when you get excited Feel you squeeze real tight if I ever start to cry [part 3] It's the 3rd of May, 2017 And I haven't seen you since last september And that's fine cause I'm over you now But still I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me I don't think that I can give this album an ending Cause these feelings never ended These songs still stand I just changed focus to someone new Who doesn't like me in that way too Oh god, I can't get over anyone Without getting into someone else I'm trying hard to just move on To write some different songs But this is all I think about and it feels so fucking wrong I can't grow up Can't really change And it's so dumb that I'm in pain And that it won't end Because some people just want to be my friend

about

C/W: Ableist language, self harm, suicide

A bunch of songs written over summer 2016. Chronologically speaking this comes after Keep Drinking and before minute to minute EP so I'm still drinking and I'm not full "there is no hope" mode yet.

Hope you enjoy. Feel free to hit me up if you want x
