"I AM USELESS"
You wrote it on a 60x90
Sometimes I'm as lonely as Trixie
But she's twice as pretty
And we could scream about our sadness till our hair goes grey,
until our lungs give out, it'll still be there.
And yeah your eyes, still shine
But do they shine like they did when they first caught mine?

I liked you better when you weren't fucked in the head
I liked you better when your Dad was not dead
I liked you better when you played in the band, stood at the back
and weren't off the beaten tracks.
I liked you better when you were drunk all the time.
I liked you better just before I made you mine
Back then I didn't have to deal with your shit, or this seven year itch
Are we even making progress?
I liked you better when you weren't so afraid
To get out your bed and life your life from day to day
and now you're stuck double dosing this shit,
candle burnt to a wick. Oh I. I liked you better
We used to write letters.

Everything's almost too quiet
at the station on my way to work.
I heard they're gonna drop the bomb soon.
Today could be the day.
Now I'm half asleep, listening to Talons' on the train
If I had to go out anyway, I'd probably go out like this.

I pulled the ring pull off my coke can, landed on the letter J
Isn't that the girl you look at online? I wouldn't know what to say
and in a room full of my peers, I want to up and disappear
I swear I started to feel old when my brain got better
Now. I'm sober on Saturday.
Oh Jackie come and take my blues away
Silver Bullet. Werewolf. Anniversary.
Hands firmly in my pocket, keep myself warm in the snow.
"Oh when will you be home my love?"
Hell If I even know...
My ears prick up when I see the young blood.
Acting like I've found my place.
They'll probably just forget me though.
Another crowd in the face.

Abigail you were my first,
and when I see the light from your room my heart still bursts.
But people are problematic and love is unkind.
I was young. young and naïve, didn't know how to make you mine.
Do you still think of me now When you lay your head down?
Would you know my face if you seen me now?
Abigail, what have I done?
Abigail, I can still see your shoes at the bottom of your fathers stairs.
I wish I wasn't so problematic, and you so blind...
We could storm the streets of London, arms entwined.
What the fuck is wrong with me?

I Will Talk Shit Forever

Who heard Charles Fosters last words?
and who the fuck will hear mine?
Will I throw my hair to the back of my head and tell everyone I'm fine
but I'm not fine...
But at least your mine. and I'm yours.
Who let Jack Torrance out of the freezer and tell me
Will I ever truly please her? Not yet.
Maybe not ever. But at least we won't be here forever
but yet, you're still mine.
How can there be a second season if James is dead.
Will I ever stop making Jokes about existential dread.
Not yet. Probably not ever.
But at least you're mine forever.
and I will talk shit forever.

Could someone break my nose?
Carve my ear off like Vincent Van Gogh?
Did you live in that sadness forever?
cause it really doesn't show.
30 going on 13. Still living in the in-between.
Between anxiety, depression, and some stupid indie comics
on the flat packed Ikea shelf in my dreams.
Don't you just want to go home?
I don't cause I hate being on my own
I guess we can't live like this forever
cause It starts to weigh you down.
Now I'm thirty, I'm starting to see
None of this shit will ever feel real.
Danny says it stops and starts, so keep playing the part
Til some sunny afternoon under the oak tree.

Never Cursed
04:06

Salt in my wounds, salt on my food, a pinch with every story I tell
Either bad or good.
I just want you to know,
I've got to find a way to show you we were never cursed.
Never cursed.
Count backwards from ten, just go to sleep and start again.
Every days a new day, every days a new day
My brain is upside now, but you know what to say
Never cursed.

I went and seen Kendrick.
Listened to black metal on the ride home.
I feel like I'm 15 years old when I'm out on my own
I feel myself getting stronger, deep in my worn out bones
Just give me one more chance to fall, and learn to be on my own.
Now it's Connors Birthday and I'm off work sick
I spent the morning seeing that this whole world's shit
for everyone but me
And now I wanna pull my teeth out cause It's 2am
and I'm still not asleep but 2 hours ago I was dying on my feet
My head is just feedback, my body's a mess
"Do you really not wanna get better" makes me cry I confess.

For you I'll work my bones to dust
I can't swim but for you I will kick my legs if I must
Watching Drake videos on my lunch break at work trying to cry
I'm choking, I'm choking, I'm choking
I'm not joking, Bitch!
I'm choking on my soul, what's the goal? What's the endgame?
What's your name?
Just Breathe, and spread your palms like sunshine rays.
And I can't make a call, I can't do anything at all
I can't leave the house, but there's no food for lunch.
And my feet are so cold, and this song seems bold
Remember when I used to just drink until I felt better?

She won't love you like you love her
She won't hug you like you hug her
She won't miss you like you miss her
She won't kiss you like kiss her
Go back down that path, go and find someone new
Someone more like you.
You're just my type.
Believe the hype.
Seven Years to the day. I'm still here.
And you've all gone away.

Give me a pound of flesh and a bottle of bourbon
and I'll go out with a white flag. Let someone kick my fucking teeth in.
Cause I'm pretty sure, no matter what I do
It'll all turn out just the same.
Its those thoughts that are to blame,
give me a sunny day & a hand to hold
Just thank the lord, you're still here and getting old
I bet Trixie knows how lucky she is
The tears say It all.
Let's have a ball.

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.
