What in the World

my mother covers her face in slime
to undo the strange course of time
that pulls with her heart and plays on her brain
of what she is now that she can't change
magic potion tell me the secrets you keep
cause i haven't looked in the mirror for a week
my mother dares to tempt fate
it's all she can do before she breaks
but i am her, she's barely different to anything
my body is a machine
it breaks daily
mends just to fall apart again
and though i fear the limit
i live in it
oh just to realise
how scary it could be, how i could spend my life being nothing at all
falling fossil all on a sea bed
thoughts in my head
of completely anything
oh to be feeling completely enlightened
and never be frightened
of all that's living
but i am her, she's barely different to anything

i sit alone on the bathroom floor
and stare at myself more and more each day
not out of vanity of self loathing
just curiosity of how much my body could take
my capability is beyond my comprehension
my body becomes everything
i suffer and carry the burden of long lost intention
i bleed to pay for original sin
well everybody does but we feel it the most
i could grow gardens in spring and kill them in winter
i own the world i created it all
I've won the award of god's favourite sinner
and my certificate hangs on my bedroom wall
well everybody does but we feel it the most

oh i'll pick up the pieces tomorrow
once the damage is done
i won't be the only one
once the story ends
i'll just tell it all again
oh i'll pick up the pieces tomorrow
you talk so much shit
and i can see straight through it
doing everything you've been told
quickly it gets old

my best friend drew a picture of me
I've been frozen at seventeen
a moment i'll never get back
hidden in ancient artefacts
true love waits it's turn
in all the things i'll learn
i will grow and grow and grow and grow
and still might not ever know
i could dream of you
mistakes come around they always do
I've sealed the crack in the closed door
i'm sure I've been here before
i'm hanging around for
i'm looking out
for something wonderful
i wanna know what it's all about

falling asleep on the edge of a mountain
my only allegiance is to the sky
throwing my luck into a fountain
so one day it will come alive
landsite fill my dreams with flowers
and sit alone on a concrete bay
electric lines city of towers
it's all i need to fade away
ignore every instruction they give me
and live in a city that's too busy
for me to ever find a home
though it's the only place i've ever known
coat my skin in your emotion
it's too transparent for me to care
i live quietly in the salty ocean
if you need me you can find me there
its big enough for me to share
with you

Cardboard Box

yesterday
i was born in a cardboard box
like a container
i went and filled myself up
and emptied my body into this world
i'm emptying my body into this world
i want it all
i want it all to be mine
i'm not the only one
though i realise
such simple things can give me such joy
oh I'm not staying home anymore
i know today anything can happen
i wanna open all the windows
i wanna jump out and fly
and if i think too much about it
i swear i might even try
i wanna role down the hillsides
i wanna be picked by your fingers
i wanna float in the deep blue sea and be
the salt in the air when it lingers
i wanna scream into distance
i wanna be choked by emotion
i want to be in complete existence
i want the whole world in motion
no i'm not staying home anymore
i know today anything can happen
