straining to be in uncompromising situations
trying to make my songs seem less like masturbation
it's just self pleasure disguised as healing
my spoiled nature endlessly revealing
I love you but I fear it's not the same
I'm scared of intentions and I only feel shame
approach you incarcerated by red blooded chivalry
but it hurts when I think of your beauty
Surrounded by one thousand strangers
Living breathing inanimacy without any faces
Twisting and pulsing in contorted ways
I think i am dying but who's not these days
I think im entranced by what I cant have
It's a creeping hollowness, I'm not even sad
do you want to see a magic trick? I ask myself
watch as I evaporate all of my health
I'm disgusting, lonely and that is not all
if you need me to, i'd take the fall
because I am frosted and I am cut
I want to give you all my love but
I have nothing more to give, now I am scared of narrative
Let me stay still now
Now I have nothing more to do, than just remain inside my room
Leave me alone now

I awake in a cold sweat
shaking from head to feet
Dreamt of being with a girl
I cannot wait to meet
I know she's out there
I can see it in her eyes
I can see her hair
I can see through her lies
She blushes in response to all my
dumb fucking lines
I've awoken shaking crying again
numerous times
When I'm asleep, I start to dream
That a ryefield isn't too far away
I start to wonder, shuffling in bed
If these delusions may be-
Products of my ego
transcended beyond my self
Because I know I'm not the figureboy
Of clean mental health
I know my lines are trite
and my chords uninspired but I
play until my fingers are all
bloodied and tired
I'm spending the last moments
of my family's dying life
with my
fredboard and pen
I'll write down words
nobody will remember
and even though they are alive it feels like I miss them
When I play, I start to feel
Like I'm the only one who needs to cope.
Self involved, dead man walking
clinging onto birch branches of hope
And I wish
The A303, was a mobius strip
So I could ride
away from you
in perfect harmony
that's not right
you know it too
but I can't help but let my crystals go

Mural Of A Horse

Im scared of the summer
Because what happens then
I've lost contact with loved ones
and losing all my friends
because of my crippling addiction
to being alone
addicted to fucking
a girl through my phone
I wanna be a worm
on an escapade
I wanna be free dont
wanna be afraid
Mural of a horse
of a horse
of a horse
Stuck in grime
from my fingernails
stuck in time in this
fuckhole town I dont know what
ails me, why i cant just be happy
maybe im scared of being happy
I wanna be a worm
would you still be in love with me
i wanna be a worm
please let me be free
Mural of a horse
of a horse
of a horse
Pool in the shape of the most
bitter of fruits
losing hope that things would
be better soon
I have so mant options
so much time
I'm now a worm
and i'm wriggling from this fucking grime

she lands through
lands end
robins signal death no
bread, eaten here signs
drifting in garish fonts
she knows i'm extending her hand
always cancels plans
but not the day before
no reason to be mad
ruby skies missed
pubs cant fucking fly by
always stuck in
devonshire
stop equating me to value for money
stop calling me my love and honey
it's confusing enough feeling for you at all
when you say names i disagree with the sky begins to fall
stuck in a postcard so fucking far
burns on my finger from a cigarette lighter for cars
I am so much more than the image you put on me
I wish i could be more than everyone seems
I want to lust for youwhen i should be asleep
I want to forever stain this silk white sheets
she is
breathing
the carbon
ive placed here [say few times idk]
hold me fucker hold me

Substantial Enough England, UK
Music shouldn't be good, that's boring. I settle for the path of least resistance. I settle for music that is Substantial Enough.
