WHEN GRACE FAILS
00:36
|
|||
|
And I will become
So much more undignified
Than this
When elegance loses its footing
Delicacy fails to save the swan
No strength to swim a butterfly stroke
Floating like corpse
Just to stay alive
Now is time for poise to rest
The human sleeps and monster rises
|
||||
2. |
||||
|
When every cry for help goes unanswered
Every struggle to climb is unfruitful
Where do I turn but inward?
And reach for anything and everything that pleases
How I must live when I cannot survive
Thousands and thousands of words could never get through to you
Time to be concerned with making my own sense
Like a bird that cache’s and sifts through it all
I will consume anything and everything I want
|
||||
3. |
||||
|
Fuck your armchair philosophy
Your worthless self inflating ideologies
With a broken sense of self esteem
And eyes blurred from endless wool
Even I can see
That I deserve much better than this
Better than this mistreatment
Better than this broken life
Better than your turning away
Better than this hand i’m dealt
I deserve better
So much fucking better
Than this

PATCHES AND STITCHES
00:42
|
|||
|
At what point
Is the original lost?
Even with the first patch
It’s not as it was
A stuffed toy stitched
When the seams are ripped
You can love it still
But the damage has still been done
Treasuring the patches
Every little thread
Still coming undone
Holding tight until it falls apart
|
||||

WHAT FUTURE?
00:34
|
|||
|
The world changed overnight when I was 9 years old
The end of the vainer of sanity in this world
And since then, it only got worse
What future is there for me to consider?
Plagues, war, famine; baby I’ve seen it all
No sign of peace or prosperity on the horizon
No future
Only the now is left
|
||||
6. |
||||
|
This is my time to celebrate
Pride in being true to myself
Fuck you and your discourse
Fuck you and your hetero tantrums
Fuck you and your upturned nose
Fuck you and your purity politics
Tie a rainbow around my fist
Not a fashion statement
But a declaration of my soul
Pride is a fucking riot
Not a fucking fashion show
Pride is a fucking riot
Not time to play nice
|
||||
7. |
NOT THE RIGHT KIND
00:38
|
|||
|
I’m not sorry i’m not the right kind
Not X enough, not Y enough
I won’t fit inside your box
The only thing I wanna be is me
Whether or not you like it at all
If it breaks down your little worldview
I hope it breaks you too
|
||||
8. |
BROKEN FACED
00:45
|
|||
|
Broken mirror pieces
Disjoint together
Show me someone I don’t recognize
When did my face begin to look like this?
I haven’t felt like myself in a long time
Restore me
Put the broken colours back together
Will I ever be
Myself again?
|
||||
9. |
A FEAR SO BANAL
00:37
|
|||
|
The day I found what I feared most
It was too late
Already atrophied
A withered plant
Can no longer grow
Only fade
You can’t undo the sun set
Or stop the tide from turning
But nothing my heart fears more
Than the decay that’s settling in
|
||||
10. |
HEADACHE (AD NAUSEA)
00:34
|
|||
|
The mountains that became
Mountains for you again
Were nothing but trash heaps
All along
Back to fucking square one
You’ve played this game before
Only the uniforms have changed
You can polish a ball of dirt
But all that’s left in the end
Is infertile soil
|
||||
11. |
GARISH PALETTE
00:27
|
|||
|
Lost in the colours
Reaching for what
My heart aches for
Now I’m a garish palette
Orange against the blue
Green against the red
Shades of dirt against
Chromatica
What an ugly portrait I’ve painted
A shaky hand and an eye for only
Tones that make sense to me
Poor
Ugly
Birdie
