Googling what planets I can see
Driving home in the sky at night
They say space travel it seems quite boring...
But I think it seems quite nice
And me I've never been to Mars
But I've been to Spain and France and Blackpool
I know we'd probably need a team of stereotypes
But I'm happy to play the hapless fool
And you can be the hero.
You can be the final girl
And Ralph can be your Jonesy.

It's like the feeling when it's raining on Holiday
Watching rain hit the pool from your hotel room
Like getting caught in the car behind a funeral procession
on the hottest day of the year
Like giving up drinking. But taking it back up
When you realise you're missing the fear.
Rich saying you won't become your father
When your doing DIY at 4pm in the sun
Loyd Cole blasting from the stereo and
The sneaking sensation that you
don't know what the fuck you're doing.
Its like that...
Its like that feeling when you think your phones ringing in your pocket
buts it's not. I'm sure they've got a name for that
they've got a fucking name for everything.
Like getting caught in the throat of a word that you thought you'd forgot
But deep down it's there. Trapped in the plughole, tangled in hair.

I spent too many minutes in 2018
Wondering what happens if you stand in front of trains
Which is odd cause I spent that whole year working
And learning to manage my pain.
Like if I don't feed my anxiety and depression cheap whiskey
I can just get on with my life.
If I don't walk to the world's end, burn out both ends
I'll find myself putting down the knife.
I remember
Walking home with the foxes on the east side of the city
Is it just the booze talking or is this city really pretty
Throw my fist up to the sky to the cub upon the hill
Is this fucker going to eat me?
I bet that would be a thrill
Now I'm 3 fucking 2 and there's way too much to do
Can't take a day off just because a bit of rain
So I just move all the clouds around, try not to make a sound
They call it Thunder.
So I'll just feed my depression and anxiety with music, movies
And amateur pornography.
Then I'll walk to the world's end, burn out both ends
Make a finish worthy of photography.

Lucy's in the bathroom dressed in Black
Lucy's in the bathroom having a panic attack
Lucy's taking selfies to sell online for thousands
To thousands
Thousands and me.
Lucy's lost her wisdom. Lucy's lost her mind.
Lucy's like a rock star but one that's only mine.
I keep her in my pocket away from prying eyes.
I know that it's not normal but we all live a lie.
And I know I'm broken.
And I know you're broken
And I know we're all broken
And thanks to you I'm broke and guilty.

I wonder how me and Billy Corgans understanding
Of a fantastic day differentiates.
Cause today I've shaved and saved some money.
I've been off my meds for two weeks.
Going for a promotion at my work tomorrow.
But I keep watching people fuck on my phone
In other people's company...

I cried when I saw Ryan Adams on my own
In the Burgh when I was 14
Just one man and a piano.
He seemed so brave and so concise.
What a fucking creep.
It was in the Usher Hall. Fuck the Usher Hall.
Fuck the capital as well.
And Big Jane Mountain. For all the wishes in the fountain.
Painkillers on an empty stomach.
Panic attack at the picture house.
Am I the cat or am I the mouse?
You just keep saying that it's hard.
And I know it's hard.

This morning I was listening to the Mountain Goats
When I drove past two girls in matching coats.
And I looked up to the painted sky and said
"How's it going to end?"
And
"what you gonna do? When your best isn't good enough"
The title of my unreleased, up and coming autobiography
Thank God I don't drink
Thank God none of my exes use social media.
"Hows it going to end?"
and
"What you gonna do?"

I can't afford anymore mistakes
I can't afford any other breaks
How many limbs can I dismember in song
Before the men in white vans come along
Or comes along again.
I'm just excited to sleep.
I'm just excited to not feel so weak.
I've got your number I should give you a call.
I won't pretend you have the solution to it all
But it's a nice thought...
One day in Springtime it just stops getting dark
In our early 20s I gave you my heart
You took it willingly, so why do I worry
Why does my brain think you're always in a hurry to leave.
I'll never leave again.

Being sad in the sunshine
Its one of my favourite past times
Keep it up though and you'll go blind
Everyone's prettier in the sun.
I keep using "wild" as an adjective
And I don't know where it came from
Dressed in short sleeve shirts and cheap sunglasses
Wild.
Wild.
Working too hard in the sun.
Blood running cold
Will there be a world to complain about
In a year or so?
I think the sun's going to my head.
Driving so fast my engine started to rattle
Pretending I know the words to the song on the stereo
Teenagers kissing as they part ways
Sometimes I miss the glitter on my lips.

Lovers Turn to Monsters Glasgow, UK
Lovers Turn to Monsters is a long pale man, slowly falling into middle age.
He wishes he
could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense.

If you like Lovers Turn to Monsters, you may also like:
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
