After All
02:53
|
|||
|
crying in the classroom
dragging your dirty shoes
you like to think no one thinks of you
it's a reason to keep yourself blue
you can't believe what they tell you
14 years in catholic school
easy to reject what you knew once
then admit that they weren't so wrong
after all
and all the answers in the textbook now
you've swallowed the pages and wrote it down
once dared to dream for something more
well it's here my dear
what are you waiting for
but you can't even convince yourself
a dusty corner in the back of the shelf
well what do you expect me to think
you're a cold cup of tea spiralling down the sink

Insects
02:01

i typed one word in a computer screen
it gave me a trillion results in only half a second
there are insects crawling under my skin
this isn't my body coz i sure as hell would have never let them
inside
i lift my skirt up to a corporation
just for the thrill of making them feel something
i applaud your hardwork and your dedication
but the jokes on you because me, well i have nothing
to hide
mary spends her time in art galleries
and aimlessly she stares at religious paintings
she hasn't told a lie since 2003
and the government know all he mistakes before she's made them

Skin
02:18
|

|
every night
i replay
the events that transpired
that day
and deeply contemplate
even dare to romanticise
what i wish would have taken place
everything feels real and fake
i'm living two parallel lives
and it's a struggle to keep them apart
but living in dreams has never been kind
when reality hits
it hits twice as hard

All These Stupid Things
01:29
|
|||
|
writing stupid things about myself
silly things they aren't true
i'm a compulsive liar
and i have nothing better to do
I'm selling myself on eBay
to the lowest bidder around
my horoscope says it's gonna be a bad day
well it's been a bad life and i want out
I've plotted and planned to take and steal
your life's worth of paid tax
buy a mansion in sunny LA
with no intention of paying it pack
they tell me to go to university
and follow a career to my death
i'd rather go to the home of who said that to me
and gracefully shit on their doorstep
that seems like so much more fun to me

Plastic Box
03:54
|
|||
|
i wanna be like the boys in bars
swaying and playing guitars
hiding in the bright red city
thats too near but not clear enough for me to reach
i am just an ordinary joe
hopes and dreams with no where to go
i am just an ordinary jane
its all swirling and twirling inside my brain
my head is strong but my feet are weak
I've opinions but not enough to speak
and all it takes is one picture of you
to remind myself what I've been avoiding but always knew
today everything is happening for me
today everything could happen for me
inside a plastic box
i'm locked
the walls are clear and i can see straight through them
the light reflects onto me through them
and i could easily break them down
but sometimes
it appears
easier to hide inside

Special
03:08
|
|||
|
want to be special
happy and proud
want to be heard
without being loud
but I'm an island
a foreign land
always silent
when you're around
it's so easy
to turn to air
you'll never see me
even if i'm there
i'm always careful
with what i say
happy to observe the world
as it rotates
i'm very special
as much as you
it's such a silly thing
for me to do
to see myself
as i'd like
when all that i am
is a silly little thing
