jupiter is big and red and far
but i know with all my heart
i belong there,
i'm over earth.
i exist in so much space
but i haven't felt safe
in a long time,
since before my birth.
oh, i don't care what they might say.
i'd rather die than have to spend just one more day
in this miserable state.
i fear change but i'd welcome it with open arms
in this case.
mark just wants to be famous.
he knows it's the only way.
he shouts it into the universe
so he knows it will happen some day.
and i would risk it all
tomorrow, tomorrow
the highs are worth the falls
so can i borrow
a fast track pass
to jupiter or saturn,
even if it's nothing like i've imagined,
i'll pretend it is.
all i want
is everyone to want to be me
selling dreams in herbal tea.
it's a fast life and it's all mine to take

Cause of Death
03:42

i have stared at your face for longer than i should have.
i should be dead by now you kill me everytime.
i don't think i need my body to love you,
you've taken my heart and hidden all reason from my mind.
i hope one day you'll be singing this song to me.
you are the most wanted man in this town
and i never dare to whisper your name on my lips.
even though you're so far beyond me
i never struggle to find you in all that exists.
unknowingly you walk away
and leave me behind.
i wonder every day
what it would be like if you were mine.
oh i would gladly die if it mean that you would stay.
you're the picture on my wall and i wouldn't have it any other way

Planet Bedroom

there are so many clothes on my bed
and i can't be bothered to clear them.
i think if i died, it would be hard to find
my body buried underneath them.
blue tac behind pictures on my wall
of me and my friends who are no longer friends.
but i keep it that way because i like the way it decorates
my tiny little spaceship.
books stacked on my wooden table,
some exhausted, some untouched.
the mess around me keeps me stable
...
oh the windows knows it all.
the life in these four walls.
home is the creasing of my bedsheets.
home is the light i left on upstairs.
home is all i'll ever need
when i'm lonely tired and scared.
my brothers are beside me
and my parents are above me
so i sleep.

Monday's are Square
03:30

monday's are square.
they don't seem to care.
i wish i'd brought a jacket.
the rain, it falls down my back
and makes me cold
but i've been told
this many times by my father before.
they play this song too often
and i can't stand it anymore.
i bite my nails.
i wish i didn't.
it happens when I'm nervous.
i wish i wasn't.
and i wish i was more discrete
but unfortunately,
my emotions manifest physically.
i wanna be so excited
like when i find someone who loves the things that i do.
i wanted to see the band play
but i didn't know anyone who listens to
them.
if this is where i'm supposed to be
well I'm sorry, this isn't the life for me.
i'd gladly resign as my patience doesn't wait for time.
this is all boring me.
i've already seen the start of something old.
you're advice is ill informed
so i'll stop doing what I've been told.

One Way Flight
03:08
|

looks like I'm going to hell.
my ticket came yesterday in the mail.
it's a one way flight
and i just might
jump out the plane.
i forgot it's my brother's birthday tomorrow.
i hope he doesn't expect anything from me.
if it was up to me, everyone would forget
my birthday every year.
so i should get myself a job
so i can buy myself a car.
i hope my brother accepts this song as a gift
as that's all i have to offer him.
my school has warned me about hell
but how can they know, how can they tell?
i'm gonna need a tour guide
with the must see sights
and the price listings.
