Occupation
02:10

I'm not the desperate type
But i am sometimes
I've been waiting
For a space to open up
I'm not the jealous type
But it makes me cry
How I'm not the one
Who you send your love to
I'll keep on hoping for
For the day i shoot the score
But getting in the net
Is too hard for me
I'm doing figure eights
An answer would be great
I'm dumb, I'm dumb
My occupation is to be your girl
I've been waiting for you to accept
My application, my application
Hope I don't cross the line
Hope I'm not wasting your time
I just want this
But i promise i'm patient
I should be logical
This isn't probable
I don't like this water
But i can't stop drinking it
My occupation is to be your girl
I've been waiting for you to accept
My application, my application

The Glamour of Hiding
03:04
|

hide behind the plastic sheets
face the camera, speak your piece
your words are priceless
mine are worthless
dancing with the friendship threads
hope i wasn't just a trend
maybe im just a dumb kid
i can't resist the urge
to talk to you again
i know you've moved on
but a message i will send
it says i'm sorry
for wasting all of your time
i can't resist the urge
to talk to you again
i feel no air flowing to me
drops of rain start to hit my cheek
little voids show in my heart
i should’ve tried to be smart
the turns are making me sick
were the past six months a trick
i love my friends and i hope we’re still
it's hard, it's hard, i have a will
i can't resist the urge
to talk to you again
i know you've moved on
but a message i will send
it says i'm sorry
for wasting all of your time
i can't resist the urge
to talk to you again
goodnight my friends
goodnight my friends
we may never talk again
we may never talk again
goodnight my friend (i know you've moved on)
goodnight my friend (i know you've moved on)
we may never talk again (i know you've moved on)
we may never talk again (i know you've moved on)

Run Away, Forget It

Concepts so fertile and ripe for picking up
But everything’s gone once you’ve got the time
I’m lucky if there’s any scraps at all
But everything now is past its prime
Come back, I’m in a hurry
I had a million things to say
And now they’re gone, now they’re gone
Why can’t I hold even the lightest things
They just disappear, fall right through my hands
Tiny shards are scattered over the kitchen floor
Turned into grains of sand
Come back, I’m in a hurry
I had a million things to say
And now they’re gone, now they’re gone
Come back, I’m starting to worry
I just want to know I’m okay
now they’re gone, now they’re gone
Concepts so fertile and ripe for picking up
But everything’s gone once you’ve got the time
I’m lucky if there’s any scraps at all
But everything now is past its prime
Come back, I’m in a hurry
I had a million things to say
And now they’re gone, now they’re gone
Come back, I’m starting to worry
I just want to know I’m okay
now they’re gone, now they’re gone

Beach Lights

The starlight is sinking
You wonder what she’s thinking
It's too hot for a t-shirt
The summer should not hurt
“She likely still loves you”
Your friends try to tell you
But you still feel bad
And you just wanna crash down
Oh-oh, why can't this go swimmingly
Oh no, why am i so needy
Oh-oh, why can't I just talk to you
Oh no, I don’t know what to do
temperature is rising
Your brain is always guessing
Tides try to steer the boat
But she would never throw you over
Oh-oh, why can't this go swimmingly
Oh no, why am i so needy
Oh-oh, why can't I just talk to you
Oh no, I don’t know what to do
Oh-oh, I feel like i’m melting
Oh no, why can’t I stop thinking
Oh-oh, why can't I just talk to you
Oh no, It’s ruining my view
It’s just the heat getting to my head
It makes it hard to get out of bed
Hope to god the ship doesn't sink
It’ll be okay I think
Oh-oh, why can't this go swimmingly
Oh no, why am i so needy
Oh-oh, why can't I just talk to you
Oh no, I don’t know what to do
Oh-oh, I feel like i’m melting
Oh no, why can’t I stop thinking
Oh-oh, why can't I just talk to you
Oh no, It’s ruining my view

Sludge
02:34
|

I feel like sludge
That crawled right from the pipes
Can barely move
This can't be my life
Thick like mud
There's dirt in my hair
I need to get up
And get some air
When you look at me
What do you see
A pretty girl?
Or a dirty freak
I'm so unclean
I'm not up to date
Everything stings
I'm stepping up to the plate
When you look at me
What do you see
A pretty girl?
Or a dirty freak
When you look at me
What do you see
A pretty girl?
Or a dirty freak

January Blues
03:08

Inside your voice there’s
Something you forgot to describe
I think it’s unfair
You left out what shifted my life
They overflow
The bad thoughts when you say we need to talk
Staying mellow
Is hard to do, I can barely walk
I don’t have the energy to even crack a smile
Search around for something to make me happy for a while
The lake is dry, the dirt is cracked
Nothing to ease the pain in my back
Inside your eyes there’s
Something that you said you didn’t see
I touch your hand with care
And ignore the possibility
I don’t have the energy to even crack a smile
Search around for something to make me happy for a while
The lake is dry, the dirt is cracked
Nothing to ease the pain in my back

Lead Actress

Feel it rumbling
You know what you're doing
Call upon the blitz
Just to see me twitch
Candle to my face
Put me in my place
Oxygen depleting
All these years of bleeding
Why am I the star
Of your little show
Is this gonna get you far
Bringing me down low
Fingers in the door
Rotten to the core
It’s been fourteen years
of this shit and you still want tears
You haven’t grown since then
Primary school, you’d spend
Every single fucking minute
Chasing me, I’m at my limit
Why am I the star
Of your little show
Is this gonna get you far
Bringing me down low
Why am I the star
Of your little show
Is this gonna get you far
Bringing me down low
Feel it rumbling
You know what you're doing
Call upon the blitz
Just to see me twitch
candle to my face
Put me in my place
Oxygen depleting
All these years of bleeding
Why am I the star
Of your little show
Is this gonna get you far
Bringing me down low

Autumn Sweetheart
03:23

The neighbours can hear my speakers
I'm sorry but i'm so damn happy
After many months of tears
Oh how i wish they were here
It's like we got a little island
We can kiss for maybe forever
The ocean might be violent
But we will always be safe together
My autumn sweetheart
Where do i start
you tuned in my signal
And cut through the static
My autumn sweetheart
You're such a bright spark
You're far away
But i don't care
I'm running around overjoyed
This is the happiest scene
My brain is buzzing, hope i don't annoy
We're both really happy and I'm feeling keen
My autumn sweetheart
Where do i start
you tuned in my signal
And cut through the static
My autumn sweetheart
You're such a bright spark
You're far away
But i don't care
My autumn sweetheart
Where do i start
you tuned in my signal
And cut through the static
My autumn sweetheart
You're such a bright spark
You're far away
But i don't care
but i don't care
but i don't care
but i don't care
