Fern Town

Fern Town, you're uniform and grey
You're raining everyday
There's no room for you and me to grow
Choked, it keeps us low
Amongst the undergrowth I know
There'll be no flowering this spring
Fern Town, she strives to keep me here
Though she's fickle as my fears
And as I come down I'm reminded of how
I'm my own worst enemy
Docile amongst the fern trees
There'll be no flowering this spring
Fern Town

Broken Skin
03:41

Peel away your broken skin
Like I sleep away these waste years
peel away your broken skin
With our white noise and our war games
We'll swallow up the world
With tendencies sideways
We'll swallow up the world
I watched you come unravelled
Like I did before
You caught the light, hid it somewhere dark
You caught my light
With our white noise and our war games
We'll swallow up the world
With tendencies sideways
We'll swallow up the world
With our white noise and our war games
We'll swallow up the worlds
Writing off our days
I spent a week or two avoiding my own head
And you left me for dead
I'm running inside out
An Escher act

Belgrave Line
03:48
|

Deep introspection on the Belgrave Line
I spent the journey thinking on the empty space between you and I,
And how I feel like the outer edge of a venn diagram
And everyone else is in the middle
Or on the opposite side
Seizing up at the prospect of freezing up in new social contexts
I think I need a beer or two, and a little space in this crowded room.
And a little space.

Maybe
02:11
|

Maybe I wanna get distracted
Wander too far from home at night
Too many heads blown up by progress
I've lost my sense on what feels right
Maybe I'm not cut out for this pace of life
Maybe I'm falling behind in your eyes
The train carriage is sparse
I look away from my phone screen
For fear of becoming skewered by the sociopolitical state of my news feed
Try to feel some sense of connection with those around me
Maybe I'm not cut out for this pace of life
Maybe I'm falling behind in your eyes
Maybe I'm not cut out for this pace of life
(Maybe I wanna get distracted - get distracted)
Maybe I'm falling behind in your eyes
(Wander too far from home at night)

Sullen
03:21
|
|||
I'm running out of negative space
Im cluttered with too much colour
I'm turning grey at the swiftest pace
You've got me sad 'cause you're sullen
We're missing out on face-to-face
But there's too much conversation
A social rat-race in it's place
You got me seeking validation
But I'm no better than I was a year or so ago
I just know better
I fear we're falling further, and further in
I'm running out of negative space
Im cluttered with too much colour
I'm turning grey at the swiftest pace
You've got me sad 'cause you're sullen
But I'm no better than I was a year or so ago
I just know better
I fear we're falling further, and further in
I fear we're falling further, and further in
I fear we're falling further, and further in
I fear we're falling further, and further in
Into this superficial
And artificial
Into this superficial
And artificial
Social mold

Gluey Eyes
03:12
|

To feel at home
I'm unsure I know what that means
A walk-in-robe
Feels like I'm walking through a dream
An unspoken guilt
Pinning my pillow
But I'm sure you'll never know
Never care
To feel at home
I'm unsure I know what that means
A walk-in-robe
Feels like I'm walking through a dream
Gluey eyes
A blue sky
I wouldn't know
I don't get outside
Anymore
Anymore
But it's my truth and all truth is relative
Your truths and our truths are subjective
Subjective
(Unspoken guilt)
Subjective
(Your truth is all you know)
Subjective
(But I'm sure you'll never know)
Subjective
(I'm sure you'll never know)

Drown Each Other Out
03:33
|
|||
I'm trying not to act on what's in my head
Sitting strumming apathetically on this bed
Inflicting damage never solved this hurt
Human instinct only made things worse
Look at us now all but a handful of heads in the clouds
And if you're woke then I'm an honest man
Look at us now a cacophony of simultaneous sound
We'll drown each other out and that'll do for now
And we live in the dark
With the sun on our backs
Eyes squeezed shut
