Goodbye (Don't Tell Me)

Besties

I wanna be anywhere other than this
I wanna see my best friend waving at me
I wanna be living with you
Seeing it through
Do you wanna play?
Forever how long can I play?
A song l made, yeah, it's a song
I'm gonna read something that's good
But I'll listen to you
I'm not asking much
Just enough
Fill my cup
Get me up
You make me laugh, babe
Yeah, I know what's expected of me
Besties, night and day
Remember when I said he shouldn't treat you that way, and are you sure?
I know I want something more
And what about you?
In fact, don't answer that
Wouldn't want it any other way
'Cause this feels
Bestie girl
Take it back now
What you feel is the hole in your life
And she's probably right
She's probably right
Right, right
(Just enough) I project
(Fill my cup) I get wet
(Get me up) I get dry
(You make me laugh, babe) you make cry, babe
Yeah, I came out and where were you?
I think you see right through me
Bestie, on my mind
Just lean into it
I'm a walking TikTok trend
But the color runs out in the end

The Big Spin

We chopped off your arms 
Chopped off your beautiful purple hair 
But we had to make room for the living, the living room 
But 
 
But I think that 
The lemons might make 
A comeback this year 
Maybe we'll get the beets to join us 
This time around the Sun 
You fetch the apples, I'll bake the pie 
Maybe we'll all fall out 
 
Put on my boots, hop, skip or step on the thread 
The thread linking our bodies with each other 
Tangled like the roots of the ghost trunk 
A new one could grow? 
 
But I think that 
The lemons might make a comeback this year 
Maybe we'll get the beets to join us 
This time around the Sun 
You fetch the apples, I'll bake the pie 
Maybe we'll all fall out 
 
Put on my boots, hop, skip or step on the thread 
The purple thread linking my head to the root 
We won't worry it will grow

Socks

I thought it once 
I thought it well 
And maybe even 
Time could tell 
That all I know and all I've known 
Could fit into a 
Little tiny box 
And all the world would laugh and lose their socks 
 
How many things can one read till they feel they're not afraid of it all? 
How many cases of words? 
Am I being absurd? 
Doing fine 
I'm having a whale of a time 
But if the world could consume all the things that you knew 
We'd be living the life 
A contender for a wife 
We'd be having a laugh 
Wish I could make them laugh, mm-mmm 
In joke there comes the truth 
I am not blinded by my youth 
The five years had their time 
But you sit in a lane much like mine 
 
For when all is said and done 
What's left is 
Far beyond the problems that are listed 
It may be easy 
Just believe me 
That our life holds a light no life has held before 
 
Maybe I speak in a way 
That makes it seem like I was born yesterday 
But I'm not afraid of it all 
There'll be another who's seen every colour but it's all in the shade 
Look at the life that we've made 
 
No word or phrase 
Has the power to say what the tie is we share 
It's far greater than rare, oh yeah 
In dark there comes the light 
And we must try with all our might 
To keep this thing alive 
We've got that house by the bay 
There's no place that I'd rather stay 
I'll stay there right till the day where you shall 
Pass 
I too shall pass 
All things must pass 
Like days 
They pass from one to another and another 
I will love no other, no 
No 
I know now, I know now that, yeah, that 
Life is good and I feel understood 
Do you? 
If you don't, let me know 
And now here comes the chorus 
 
For when all is said and done 
What's left is 
Far beyond the problems that are listed 
It may be easy 
Just, baby, believe me that our life 
 
If time was on my side, I would ask him to return 
To a moment which holds for us 
A great concern 
Which moment to pick? 
Which time to select? 
There are so many chances steeped in regret 
No matter which one you choose, baby, you're always gonna lose 
Well, that's what the demons say 
I never liked those guys anyway

Salem Sisters

Salad days aren't balanced 
Laughter from below 
As the conversations flow 
And the bark that I traced 
For to reach my final place 
Estranges me 
 
Happily 
There's no use fearing what you said 
In a tree 
It's all just the fuel on fire 
The fire beneath 
In time I'll waste you anyway 
Bites at me 
 
Quail thighs 
Grilled on both sides 
There's a young man holding tongs 
As the party sings along 
 
To the song that I wrote 
Of a pharaoh on a boat 
 
But between the howls lie whispers 
They hum like faint transistors 
And conspire to light the cinders 
Burn the tree for all to witness 
Curtains for a Salem sister 
 
Happily 
We heard you on the radio 
Up a tree 
You're trapped right above the pyre 
As the fire beneath 
Just pray the rain will come to pass 
Creeps up to me 
Oh, as the leaves 
There's no use fearing what you said 
Bend and breathe 
It's all just the fuel on fire 
Ain't it plain to see 
In time, I'll waste you anyway 
Oh yeah, that's what summer is for

Two Horses

I'm a faraway traveller 
I travel alone 
Searching in the mist 
For what I know, exists for me out there 
 
Solitary, awaits me out there 
I know she always will 
She was there before rain 
Before these dunes, before they made the pyramids 
 
Oh, waited so long 
Have I finally found the road to lead on? 
The moon was low and the road dusty 
When I was captured by some thieves 
My pockets empty 
I said, you'll have to kill me 
To cut this jewel out of me 
They let me go 
 
Stopped at the next bar, for a neat drink 
Across from where I sat a man gazed at me 
He looked just like James Dean 
On the silver screen 
Our eyes did meet 
And he winked at me 
Is this the one? 
 
Have I finally found a man to lean on? 
Will you help me and my horses on my way 
Through night and day? 
 
Oh, I can see my destination on the line 
And if the stars are aligned 
Not gonna be a next time 
I'll check him as he's sleeping 
Can never trust a man who's drinking whisky at the bar alone 
But his arms are around your waist 
And your hair is blowing in the wind and it feels alright 
 
And on that second night he came for me 
He took his knife out his boot and silently, I learned the truth 
He was liar 
A leach and beggar 
And through the embers 
I watched him kill my horses 
 
River, river take me 
Down to the waterfall 
Won't come back at all 
Just let me fall 
Ah 
Ah

Mary

Ring at six, the day begins, she stumbles down the stairway 
Porridge on, "I won't be long" 
To Dad sat in his chair 
Shoves it down, let's take the town and make this week a wonder 
Better than the one before but she knows it won't be so 
 
Her train approaches 
Will they notice 
Should she miss this one and start the week alone 
 
On the way to class and so it starts, she'll play the jester 
Pushed around, ignored, let down 
Their laughs are at, not with 
 
So she bites back but she falls flat 
They say they're only teasing 
Made the fool, that's life at school 
What a way to treat your friend 
 
She screams in the shower 
Lost all of her power 
Keep face, she'll leave no trace, not even in her home

Happy Birthday

Cheer up, child, the world don't owe you a thing 
Who bought you that ring? 
Cheer up, child, the ghouls and snipers don't care 
There's nobody there 
 
One of these days you might notice 
The patch on my head, I'm already dead 
And see the man that you married for money 
Can't breathe, he's almost dead 
 
How do you make it down the street 
City burns like a fire beneath your feet 
Cheer up, child, your world's not tearing apart 
Though you broke its heart 
 
Many people would give an arm and a limb 
To live where you live 
 
It's not your fault, we don't blame you 
We blame the world you were born into 
 
Happy day of birth, no matter where on Earth 
Your feet have taken you today 
Did you hear me say 
That I love something about you? 
But I don't know what it is 
Something that I must find for you have 
Truly built your fort 
 
Do you see beneath the canopy from your top floor? 
 
Well, a lady introduced to me by my best friend 
We connected through the cans on head 
Even though I fear she might be quite dead 
She sat and she sang the tale of youth 
'Cause children don't know the meaning of truth 
 
How do you make it down the street? 
Feel removed from everyone you meet

For the Cold Country

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah 
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah 
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah 
Watch the kite, it soars, then falls 
 
Into the fight, the metal-clad knight 
He roars then brawls 
Then crawls into a hole where he toiled and recoiled 
Over all that he had failed 
That accolade that he'd betrayed 
Now he decayed in the dark cave 
Oh, so afraid 
Where's the brigade? 
Everything fades, what will remain, oh 
Where's the way? Where is the way? 
Hey, anyone there? 
 
I'll take off my armour 
If you promise to stay 
Wipe your weeping eye 
Lanterns light the lie 
Of the life I'd thought I'd lived 
In the place I thought I'd been 
I defend and accuse 
But it's me that brings down 
The heavy hammer 
The gavel begins to behave on its own 
Then my arm turns to wood 
Roots wrap round my wrist 
 
Kite strings burn my palms 
 
I am proud to know you 
Can I make a cup of coffee? 
Can I sit down next to you? 
I might not speak for a while 
But, just to be here with you, be with you 
I might not be the best rider or fighter 
But I think I'd like to be a little lighter 
I could try to throw off the iron helmet 
And indulge in memories 
Make cavalries rest their heads 
Make their beds out of the trees 
Up on the trees 
All that I lost is still with me 
With the moss we will become the beacon 
Which beckons me beyond the cave 
I caved out 
Take my shield 
And blade off of me 
Melt the silver down 
I'll make you a crown 
 
Then the wind stops, the clock ticks on 
My stiffened heart grows tighter 
I searched from the moon 
And down towards the fish 
And the tide and the moon 
Had their own alliance 
I stood with my ghost 
We tried to hold the kite 
My wooden hand, my wooden heart 
Now all the fights are fought and moments gone 
But still, they must be here, they must, but 
 
Are you there? 
Can you see me? 
Are you listening? 
Won't you stay now? 
The rain's coming down 
The wind's blowing high 
Thunder closer 
Lightning striking 
 
We hurtle through the sky 
Shredded kite in the trees 
The sun's gone home now 
But our hands reach 
Clammed together 
 
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah 
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah 
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

Nancy Tries to Take the Night

There's a time and a place and the place, it is now 
Take the smile off your face while you're dressed like a cow 
And you're frolicking 'round, your legs are in the air 
There's a smile on your face but it's covered in hair 
Do you want it? 
Do you want it? 
 
You run through the streets like the whore that you are 
And you hope pretty soon you'll be struck by the car 
But the light of the day tries to keep you afloat 
While there's pain in your stomach and there's pain in your throat 
Do you want it? 
Do you want it? 
 
Mother, would you take me? 
Anon, anon 
For I have nothing, no more baby, nah nah 
She's gone, anon 
 
I tried to take the word and what you said 
I tried to take the word but the word was dead 
I did not want it 
And in the light of day it all seemed well 
Oh, was it just a dream, she could not tell 
But how she wanted 
 
There's a time and a place and the place it is now 
Take that smile off your face while you're dressed like a cow 
When you're frolicking 'round, legs in the air 
There's a smile on your face but it's covered in hair 
Do you want it? 
Oh no, but do you want it now? 
 
Oh, just imagine a life with a baby and wife 
What the times would look like, when compared to the knife 
But the money's not there so you sit in despair 
Curse at the sky with the cry, "It's not fair" 
Do you want it? 
No, no, please tell me, do you want it? 
 
'Cause the rapture of the autumn eve lead to a fate no-one believed 
Taking to the table where she wrote, she held herself a vote 
A vote between the good and bad, with all she'd seen and all she'd had 
Nancy tried to take the night, but now she's gone removed from sight and now, yeah 
 
Mother, would you take me? 
Anon, anon 
For I have nothing, no more, baby 
No, no, she's gone, anon 
If I could take it back now, would I take it back now? 
If he could take it back now 
Would he take it back now? 
Nancy took the night and she's gone anon

There's a time and a place and the place, it is now 
Take the smile off your face while you're dressed like a cow 
And you're frolicking 'round, your legs are in the air 
There's a smile on your face but it's covered in hair 
Do you want it? 
Do you want it? 
 
You run through the streets like the whore that you are 
And you hope pretty soon you'll be struck by the car 
But the light of the day tries to keep you afloat 
While there's pain in your stomach and there's pain in your throat 
Do you want it? 
Do you want it? 
 
Mother, would you take me? 
Anon, anon 
For I have nothing, no more baby, nah nah 
She's gone, anon 
 
I tried to take the word and what you said 
I tried to take the word but the word was dead 
I did not want it 
And in the light of day it all seemed well 
Oh, was it just a dream, she could not tell 
But how she wanted 
 
There's a time and a place and the place it is now 
Take that smile off your face while you're dressed like a cow 
When you're frolicking 'round, legs in the air 
There's a smile on your face but it's covered in hair 
Do you want it? 
Oh no, but do you want it now? 
 
Oh, just imagine a life with a baby and wife 
What the times would look like, when compared to the knife 
But the money's not there so you sit in despair 
Curse at the sky with the cry, "It's not fair" 
Do you want it? 
No, no, please tell me, do you want it? 
 
'Cause the rapture of the autumn eve lead to a fate no-one believed 
Taking to the table where she wrote, she held herself a vote 
A vote between the good and bad, with all she'd seen and all she'd had 
Nancy tried to take the night, but now she's gone removed from sight and now, yeah 
 
Mother, would you take me? 
Anon, anon 
For I have nothing, no more, baby 
No, no, she's gone, anon 
If I could take it back now, would I take it back now? 
If he could take it back now 
Would he take it back now? 
Nancy took the night and she's gone anon

Forever Howlong

Uncurtain the day 
My head pops out 
It's another cold grey morning 
Over-stew the water, it mostly turns to air 
 
Out for a walk 
I imagine three times 
Slipping on the wet leaves 
And the blood rushing out from the cracks in my head 
Then merges with the red and amber mulch 
 
The hesitating silence 
Between the man and the dog 
Overdone routine, the man reaches down to pick up the shit 
I make eye contact with the dog 
We both look away 
 
I am back home now 
I move my fingers on the piano keys 
And I am back to thinking whether she's sobbing in the men's room again 
 
I shall boil some beans 
I should get my vitamin B 
The last video I watched told me the pH of my gut microbiome was certainly causing my blues 
So I fill myself up with fibre 
As dusk begins to set 
 
The old man across the street 
The clinical glow from your window 
Why don't you get a warm lamp? 
It looks like a tiny UFO is trying to land in there 
 
His head begins to droop 
And I make eye contact with his balding patch 
Turn off the TV, old man 
 
I light the candle 
It's time to curtain the night 
It is only 5 o'clock

Goodbye (Don't Tell Me)

I tap as I talk 
I text while I walk 
To you 
I tell you I'm here 
And I wait by the door, up the stairs, then I'm there 
How was your day? 
Are you in pain 
Still? 
I sit on the side of the couch in the cold 
In the empty apartment you recently sold 
Is that why I'm here? 
 
I've fallen in love with a feeling 
I fell down a hole at a speed at which I do not know 
Ah 
Ah 
 
Went back to the ladies 
That kissed me for ages and left 
I don't believe him 
Leaning on me when I feel so incapable 
 
I've fallen in love with a seedling 
A towering flower that's grown so incredibly high 
Ah 
Ah 
Ah 
 
I've fallen in love with a fear I believe in 
I sink in my nails till I feel it inside 
I've fallen in love with a feeling 
I've fallen in love with a feeling, don't tell me good bye 
Ah 
Ah 
To truly believe in 
In love with a feeling 
I've fallen in love 
 
Ah 
Ah
