I've been up, I've been down
I've been figuring out how to comprehend death, kill off the voice in my head
Feeling lonely at night, wince at myself in the light, leave in the quietest way, and grow old with you someday.
I'll grow old with you someday.

And it hit me like a storm, these years have been something else
I'm longing for a rewind, take my time with all of it.
And I know just what I want, and yeah it looks just like you
Our lives are racing by, and there's nothing we can do
It seems like all my memories have fractured and faded
I never noticed it.
Oh God, it feels like time pulled out the rug from my feet
By now you'd think that I'd be used to this
I’ve got the cards I was dealt, but I'm still finding myself screaming at God 'oh don't you fucking let it rain on my wedding day'
And I feel like I'm longing for a rewind
Cut up fragments in my mind
And I feel like I'm never living in real time
but with you always on my mind.
Oh God, it feels like time pulled out the rug from my feet
By now you'd think that I'd be used to this.
I’ve got the cards I was dealt, but I'm still finding myself screaming at God 'oh don't you fucking let it rain on my wedding day'
And it hit me like a storm, these years have been something else
If I ever got that rewind, I'd cherish all of it.
And I know just what I want, it's always looked just like you
Our lives are flying by, and there's nothing we can do.
Oh God, it feels like time pulled out the rug from my feet
By now I'm never getting used to this.
I’ve got the cards I was dealt, but I'm always finding myself screaming at God 'oh don't you fucking let it rain on my wedding day'
Don't let it rain on my wedding day.

Loser

"You're once in a lifetime,
the loser of the year,
cold and dead's your prize".
I know what this is, I'm done with that shit
I'll come 'round the bend, I've been lost in my head.
Just like an old friend, I'll feel it again
I feel it again, I feel it again.
"Well loser, you'll lose yourself some day.
All the good and the bad, yeah it all goes away".
I got no time for a voice that won't quit,
and a sinking feeling that I'm worse off without it.
I know what this is, I'm done with that shit
I'll come 'round the bend, I've been lost in my head.
Just like an old friend, I'll feel it again
I feel it again, I feel it again.
Getting closer, getting closer now...

Brain Cells
02:54
|

|
Alone in my bedroom, 1:30am
Fill myself with poison, doubt myself again
Too proud too admit it, too fucked to give up
The sky drained of its light, it looks so beautiful at night.
Kill my brain cells, kill me.
The sun peaks through my window
Bleeds into my head
Moves around so violent
Fills my brain with dread
I swear I'll try, I swear I'll try again.
Kill my brain cells, kill me.

I'll bury something old
Let borrowed time slowly unfold
Always feeling something blue
I'll move on with something new.

Summer
03:38
|

|
And I still feel you lying next to me
Sticky palms and salty ocean breeze
Sat and watched the sun set over Sydney
8pm and it's still 28 degrees.
Summer made a place safely in my hands
I watched it move and shake and slip away.
I think my head's not right, all caught up in the sunlight
Creep over my skin and slowly pull me in
And like a warm blanket around me, I'm not ready for summer to end
I'm not ready for summer to end
I'm not ready for summer to end.
Getting warmer with complacency
Getting colder with almost everything
Making time for boredom and sleeping in
Making up a lie to prolong all of this.
Summer made a place unknowingly in my hands
I watched it punch and kick and run the fuck away.
I think my head's not right, all caught up in the sunlight
Creep over my skin and slowly pull me in
And like a warm blanket around me, I'm not ready for summer to end
I'm not ready for summer to end
I'm not ready for summer to end.

Celebrate
03:26
|

I woke up and found myself in grieving for what I'd missed
I've been awake for so much time, I got a taste for it.
And when I felt it on my shoulders, it came down like a tonne of bricks
I felt the warmth escape me when summer left.
Honest I'd rather die than be afraid to live
Convinced myself that I favour to just exist
And when I felt the daylight, I could've died there in your arms
I promised myself that I, I'd pick myself off the pavement.
Now I know that I will make excuses, I know I'm the king of them.
I know I'm the king of bullshit mountain, bow to my blissful ignorance
Now won't you tell me that I'm special, I've got nothing to celebrate
And lift the weight off from my shoulders and watch me float away.
Honest I'd rather die than be afraid to live
Convinced myself that I favour to just exist
And when I felt the daylight, I could've died there in your arms
I promised myself that I, I'd pick myself off the pavement.
Through heartache and strife, celebrate your life.
Honest I'd rather die than be afraid to live
Convinced myself that I favour to just exist
And when I felt the daylight, I could've died there in your arms
I promised myself that I, I'd pick myself off the pavement.

Fox Mulder
03:35
|

|
I found a lonely little voice that lives inside my head
It never leaves, it softly says 'no, you're not better off dead'
I hear it calling when I slip and fall right down that hole
Wraps right around me and I swear it sounds a lot like you.
I get the shakes and I don't know how
to hold together and just figure it out.
Take my hand somehow, I'd like to show you now
this ordinary life, I think I've got it down.
I get the chills that pound when I walk 'round the house
And I feel you in my bones, I feel you every time.
I'll get drunk and fall asleep and welcome all this deja vu
and all the reminders that we're all drowning in an empty pool
And life's passing by at a higher frame rate than what I thought was filmed
I'd skip right to heaven but I don't think I'm on that waiting list.
I get the shakes and I don't know how
to hold together and just figure it out.
I get the shakes and I don't know how
to hold together without you around.
Take my hand somehow, I'd like to show you now
this temporary life, I think I've got it down.
I get the chills that pound when I walk 'round the house
And I feel you in my bones, I feel you every time.
I feel you every time.
And I feel you in my conscience and every shitstorm I find myself in,
when I'm feeling like Fox Mulder and paranoid about fucking everything,
when I fall asleep to white noise I hear your voice in all my memories
Wherever I end up I hope that you remember me.

Lifetime
03:09
|
|||
|
In a constant state of rewind, I'm a slave to memory
At the ending of another year, we'll play the highlight reel
All the good ones and the bad ones and the in-between
will come and flood the floor until in breaks
Would I stay? I don't know.
And I would stay forever this time
But nothing last for good in this life
And all our hopes and dreams will pass by
And we will leave behind a lifetime.
In an old house, we grew up there and thought we'd never leave
Now it's too late, prime real estate, and your eyes turn into the sea
And it's all a part of the process,
the never-ending tide of leaving things behind
Would I find that I'm alright? I don't know.
And I would stay forever this time
But nothing last for good in this life
And all our hopes and fears will pass by
And we will leave behind a lifetime.

So tell me, oh tell me how long the time has been
I'll forget all of it until it comes again.
Until it comes around again
I got plans, I got plans
Got so much shit to do
I don't know if I'll be alive to see them through.
Be alive to see them through
I'll make a resolution
and when it's 2024
I won't remember it
Won't keep them anymore.
Convincing myself that I'm running out of time
I'm trying, still trying to notice that I'm not.
To notice I'm alive
I'll make a resolution
and when it's 2024
I won't remember it
Won't keep them anymore.
Won't keep them anymore
None of it ever really matters
But when it's through, and when I die,
I wanna die right next to you.
I'll grow old with you someday
All the good and the bad, yeah it all goes away.
