Pink Cellophane

Not gonna throw the game
Make you look good, thin and plastic, see-through,
Like pink cellophane
Rosy, easy, temporary, see through
We’ll keep it all the same
No one ever needs to see you, see-through,
Don’t want to misbehave
I will never cause a scene, I’m see-through
Slow down, no one in the world is gonna catch you
Out there, hold your hair back like a minder
You’re not the only one
Are you over it? Well crazy, me too
But are you having fun?
Rosy, easy, temporary, see through
Nobody has to change
Just so long as everybody has their
Their pink cellophane
Rosy, shiny, keep them happy but please
Slow down, no one in the world is gonna catch you
Out there, hold your hair back like a minder
I can’t watch, but I’ll try to
No one said be kind, I can’t keep up, but I’ll try to
Good luck out there
I don’t know a lot, but I want to, I can’t help you out, but I’ll try to
Good luck out there, We know us so well
Time will pass, and I’ll see you there
Good luck looking through Pink cellophane

Student Free Day

As the daylight fades
We go searching
Waiting to get caught
They start shouting
We love to love them, they love to hate us, we hate to love them, they’re always chasing
We’d better run and hide, searching
Enrichment is lowbrow, at best, we test
It seems disastrous
You should trust us
The days are not a waste
Or time pointless
As you line
Your purse with gold
And the colours
Fade to grey
Best not make a sound, Find meaning in a meaningless day
The sound found us out
Best not make a sound, having the time of our lives
The sound found us out

Makes Me Sick
03:33

Can we please leave here
Got everything that I need
Please, let’s leave
Unpressed work shirts and stress
Tiles covered in grease
Dead eyed and oppressed
I feel so guilty
My issues are tiny
They are twice the measure of me
Tiles covered in grease.
Fluorescence and bleach
Likely just me, laying it on
Please, it's time to leave
I know my needs
I'll work for me, exclusively
Tiles covered in grease.
Fluorescence and bleach
Likely just me, laying it on thick
Their strength makes me sick
Makes me sick
Makes me sick

Small House by the Sea

I can’t imagine
The strength that it must take
And the passion
To go against the rising tide and better judgement
It’s all lies
This can’t be happening
It’s cold in December
You’re not listening
Go back to the glory days
And veiled nostalgia
Ignore it
Let’s push the issue
Make everyone mad
Make it personal
Everyone’s attacked
And no one’s got the higher ground
We’re all doomed
Build a band aid
Block out all of it
See it from space
The sunshine’s rays
Go down
To your small house down by the sea, kill all the fish and burn the trees
Road trip!
Leave all the mess for us to clean
Don’t listen to the universities
Oh, you’re welcome
Piece of piss, We got this

Negative Star
04:21
|

|
Drifting, we collide
Empty, we subside
Let it glow down, end, and we'll drop it
Time passed, I know we can't stop it
Backwards facing
Like a black mass, moving inwards
This star is barely an ember
Your dark energy
Choking me
Fabricated sincerity
We phased out
Your star grows quiet
And it's all fine, fun while it lasted
Stayed out too long and we melted
Waxing, waning
Am I not right, for being angry?
I think I'm here if you need me
Your dark energy
Choking me
Fabricated sincerely
Crushing all the sky
Everything in sight
Never thought that I would see you fading
Eating all the light
Everything in sight
Never thought that I would see you fading
Again
Hollow membrane
Un-breached, lost thing
Does it still count, if no one says it
Glow up, but still regret it
Distant orbit
Hope that, you'll find your place and go far
But we'll, always have our negative star
Out there
Hanging by a thread until there’s nothing
Eating all the light
Everything in sight
Never thought that I would see you fading
Again

The safe road
So sheltered
A path lit by billboards
I swear I think I'm dreaming
Do you ever wake up screaming?
Might be tough so just don't bother, you'll overcome, rats stick together.
No challenge
No contest
So nice to all be born blessed
If life has no meaning, preen and sleep then time for feeding
Could be tough so just don't bother, after all, you hold all this together.
Change your hair to fix your mood
Fairness reigns, thanks to you
All should sway, to suit your mood
Make sure you leave-a review
Rats will feast.
No adversity
Time to feed
Saving face, what a mood
Fairness reigns, thanks to you
All should sway, to suit your mood
Make sure you leave a review

Unsafe

Barely a man
And still stalked
Nightly terrors piercing the dark
Turn the tables
Nightly terrors fleeing
I make it mine
A surge of sound, a striking stance
The mighty T of joyful wrath
My voice is strange, it’s not my own.
And I wake up
A Menace
glares across the hall
Defiance, old hunger crawling
beneath it I feel
Defiance, old hunger
I make it mine
Draw an “A” across my palms.
And I wake up
Roar, make it small

I am so tired, lazy, uptight
Travel up stream, get bored, then leave
I am so blind, night time outside
Tumble, fall down, rolling around
All I want’s some peace and quiet
Strung out on the power lines
Waiting for everyone to leave
All I want’s a place to go
Just to sit and be alone
Who ever said that you could leave?
I am a fly, awkward and shy
Show up, maybe, get scared, then leave
I am a slug, salty, fizzed up
Don’t I know you? Time to regroup
All I want’s some peace and quiet
Strung out on the power lines
Waiting for everyone to leave
All I want’s a place to go
Just to sit and be alone
Who ever said that you could leave?
I’m so happy, why aren’t you happy?
You’re never happy, I’ll make you happy
I can’t stop smiling, why aren’t you smiling?
You never smile, I’ll make you smile
I see a reflection of you
A total change, an imposter
I see a reflection of us
Through broken glass
That’s bad luck
All I want’s some peace and quiet
Strung out on the power lines
Waiting for everyone to leave
All I want’s a place to go
Just to sit and be alone
Who ever said that you could leave?

It happens all the time, the night inside my mind
Mother says it’s alright, she whispers softly
Close your eyes dear
Nothing can get to you here
Don’t disappear
The light is off, no one is here
Close your eyes my dear
It’s happened once or twice, the moon inside my mind
Another sleepless night, I think about it
Close your eyes kid
Nothing truly exists
Vacate your head
Morning will make it all clear
Close your eyes, you’re just a kid
Close your eyes dear
Nothing can get to you here
Be calm your fears
You’re safe and I am still here
Close your eyes dear, you’re not a kid
