My butterfly, I would do anything to see you smile
I’d move my body going this way, that way, trying to make shade
So you’re always resting in the cool of the day
I know how hard you’ve tried, you’ve got no wins just tired tries
You got a heart that is big enough for both of us
Holding down the fort for us
Hoping we can hold it til the night is over
And it’s not fair when the world won’t share
Trying to catch the manna from heaven
Is this really the blessing?
Because in the morning it’s gone and we’re back to guessing
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
About all the ways that things could be different
I have been listening to your petition
I think that it’s finally sinking in
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

I think that it’s finally sinking in

Dramamine

I wanna be, I wanna be your little figurine
You know I never meant to tell you just how much it meant to me
And we could go around, wherever you want I’ll come along
We could lipsync our favourite song and use our hands as microphones
I used to be the saddest girl that you had ever seen
Just need a couple things to sleep, maybe some dramamine but
I got the feeling, we’re breathing down the neck of realness
Does that sound okay to you? Sometimes I wanna say to you
You are the only reason I believe in anything
I hope you don’t take this the wrong way
You are the only reason I believe in anything
I hope you don’t take this the wrong way
I wanna be, I wanna be your Mary Magdalene
We’ll show up to the execution in a beat up limousine
That we could drive around, wherever you want in this whole town
Reenact a movie scene and read old music magazines
I used to be the kid who never wanted to be seen
Let people jump all over me, the human trampoline but
I got the feeling, I’m stronger on the other side hey
Does that sound okay to you? Sometimes I wanna say to you
You are the only reason I believe in anything
I hope you don’t take this the wrong way
You are the only reason I believe in anything
I hope you don’t take this the wrong way

The Blessings

It is no secret this is going nowhere
Diving deeper when I need to get air
Everyday is the same
Play my part don’t complain
When I look back a get a pain in my chest
My yes is only a maybe at best
Keeping up, turn the page
Smile for people I hate
I wish, I wish I waited for you
And I wish, I wish that I could be new
In the back of my head I am starting again
I wish, I wish I waited for you
Counting the blessings that I couldn’t cash in
These days I barely believe anything
Little faith, little life
That I build by myself
Sometimes I see you driving up the highway
Wish I could be with you just for a day
But instead I’m in bed
Tryna sleep off the silence
I wish, I wish I waited for you
And I wish, I wish that I could be new
In the back of my head I am starting again
I wish, I wish I waited for you

Bootleg Firecracker
03:20
|

You know, I like it here
And it’s weird when it appears
The magic in the space between us
You, me, this place we dreamed up
You go outside to feed the meter
Until I next seeya
I’ll keep moving til I see you cruising in
And I am an average dancer
That’s not the point that I am after
I’ll be your midnight bootleg firecracker
I could blow up in your hand
It could be great or a disaster
That’s the point that I am after
There’s risk I guarantee
When there’s skin you tend to bleed
But I’d rather be fighting a losing battle
Than to live with me and my shadow
There’s always a chance on the way for a win
Even a small one
So I’ll keep moving til I see you cruising in
And I am an average dancer
That’s not the point that I am after
I’ll be your midnight bootleg firecracker
I could blow up in your hand
It could be great or a disaster
That’s the point that I am after

Highlands

Take a look around
The town you grew up in is tired and fading
Endlessly sighing
Your family is there expectantly waiting
Your mother complaining, your father is quiet
And on the way to the station
You pass by the houses, dark windows saying
There’s a reason you sneak out
At night to be with all your friends in the open
Out in the open
Wherever you are, we’re just getting started
Out of the dark, into the highlands
Give me your heart, I wanna hide it
And I can’t keep waiting for things to change
Don’t care where you are, we’re just getting started
Out of the dark, into the highlands
Give me your heart, I wanna hide it
And I can’t keep waiting for things to change
Take a look around
What am I saying?
I don’t wanna stay here I kinda hate it
I don’t like the winter I just like the sound
Of the sticks always falling, breaking my heart
And by the way, the air is like ice
But I'm seeing it clearly in this new light
I don’t like running I just like the sound
Of the movement and footsteps hitting the ground
I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I need a change, I need a change and I need a change, I need a change and I need a change and I need a change, yeah, ooooh

Bend
03:50
|

|
The line is very fine
Between free and paralysed
And I’m riding it all the time
My breath is my life
But my mind’s a parasite
And it’s eating me alive
I am one bend away from a break
I am one step away from the precipice of crazy
I am holding all the pieces in place
But maybe you’ve got to break me to see what I’m made of
I am one bend away
I am one step a way
I am holding all the pieces in place
But maybe you’ve got to break me to see what I’m made of
I sip from the cup
But it’s never enough
I think the well has all dried up
I think the world is all fucked up

Go To Sleep On Me
02:41

Something is wrong here
The more that I know the stranger it sounds
Crunching the numbers
Don’t seem there’s enough to go around
I wish I was dumb
I wish I could just play along
Keeping it fun
Now it’s just us with all lights on
So intimately poor
Don’t need a family, I’m a salaryman
Live behind closed doors
Get by with the internet and my hand
Keeping it fun
Don’t know how long this can go on
I wish I was dumb
Now it’s just us with all lights on
Go to sleep
Go to sleep on me
Go to sleep
Go to sleep on me
I wish I was dumb
I wish I could just play along
Keeping it fun
Don’t know how long this can go on

Terrible News
02:52
|

|
I’m not scared
So brave
I’ll shout it til you hear me out
Puff up my chest
Put on a dress
Convince myself it’s good enough
And I can’t take it
Sitting in this noisy room
With all these wound up people
Giving terrible news
Yeah it’s plastic
Bend it to my point of view
I don’t know who I am or what I’m supposed to prove
And I can’t take it
Tell me is it over soon?
Even your best ideas sound like terrible news
I’m adored (but I’m feeling)
So bored (there’s no concealing)
I’m begging for approval
Forget my name (silly thing)
I’ll change (anything)
It’s brutal but it’s true

Philosophy

Got my philosophy, it’s the only thing that has any integrity
Its sound rings in my ears
She’s got a platform, what the fuck is that for?
She’s so depressed why on earth would I live like that?
Just cuz I’m hot and I like to say whatsup
Don’t mean I got anything else worth talking about
What you’re looking for lives behind those three doors
Body, mind and soul yeah you know how it goes when
She plays her part and she plays it well
She plays her part and she plays it well
Taking my time trying to get this right
But I’m running out of bad ideas
She plays her part and she plays it well
Go my philosophy, it’s the only thing that protects me from fragility
The sound echoes around
She is in peak form, how good it is to be strong
Have you noticed something strange about the time we’re in?
They will tell you what to say and what to do
They really don’t care who you are so long as they can say
She plays her part and she plays it well
She plays her part and she plays it well
Taking my time trying to get this right
But I’m running out of bad ideas
She plays her part and she plays it well

Can we get away from this party?
I can’t finish what I have started
That’s my official position and now I got to live with it
I know I’m doing it the hard way
But I kind believe in the hard way
Like the time I was twelve years old
Jumped out the car and walked the whole way home
Choirs of voices on my phone
Just make me feel alone
There’s a moment of control
Then Hannah goes down the rabbit hole
And now we’re sitting at the fountain
In Hyde Park and I pour it out
I’m lower than I’ve ever been but I’m glad we’re talking
Cuz it’s a great, great sadness
That never goes away but
It’s alright I’m on your side, I’m on your side
In the great, great sadness
That never goes away
It’s alright I’m on your side, I’m on your side forever
It’s alright I’m on your side, I’m on your side
Gotta get away from this party?
I’m light years away from my body
These days I’m more impatient with existential conversations
You see signs in everything
I think God will keep me guessing
Is it our big attempt to cope
Are we the world’s most tragic joke
Any excuse to go but I’m not ready to head home
I’ve lost track of where we are so I guess it’s working
Can we get away from this party? Can we get away from this party?

Sydney 2011
I fell in love with my best friend
I need a reason to survive
I’m hand grenading my life
I’ve got a reason to forgive this
My cheeks are red with the business
I’m panicking in my chest
I’m barely breathing oh
Is it all in my head, in my head oh darling
Is it all in my head, in my head oh darling
Is it all in my head, in my head oh darling
And I cannot hold on but I won’t let go
I’ve been sucking on a lemon
It’s not good but it’s been a lesson
I wanna be like princess peach
But she’s so difficult to reach
Casting your eyes for a good heart
I sit just below your low bar
I need something to arrive
To tell me with certainty
Is it all in my head, in my head oh darling
Is it all in my head, in my head oh darling
Is it all in my head, in my head oh darling
And I cannot hold on but I won’t let go
Is it all in my head? Is it all in my head?
Is it all in my head? Is it all in my head?
