Sleep (Part 1)
04:30
|

I have never known sleep, like the sleep I have next to you.
Comfort in your arms, no other home would do.
Take me Home.

First day out on the streets.
September, two thousand sixteen.
My minds' on its' knees.
and the worlds' in freeze
and I'm on my own.
Never been away from home.
I'll be here.
I remember the summer heat.
The smell of paint and the kids out on the steet.
I remember the records on my floor,
equations in my notebooks and drawings on my wall.
I remember the shirt I made, sleeping in and the songs we played.
I remember the summer that we met.
I'll be here.
These are our stories, these are our tales.
The thoughts and themes that prevail.
This is the narrative that we take.
This is the noise and the love we make.

I left the ones I love behind,
To rot away on company time.
Now I move on but can't decide,
Is home ahead or just behind?
I left my home behind I left my friends behind
I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
What am I looking for?
What am I?

Home

Say goodbye I'm going home,
I've got nothing left to show now
Here I go, Here I go.
Try me, with your distorted thoughts
and I'll try to play along now
Here I go, Here I go
Home, embrace
Home, embrace
Hit me with your reverb and your point of view
Try and show me something new now
Here I go, Here I go
Bounce me off your walls
Try and make me catch your fall now
Here I go, Here I go
Home, embrace
Home embrace
Home embrace
someday oh someday home isn't home anymore
someday oh someday home isn't home anymore
Try all you want but you'll redefine it
Try all you want to rework and refine it
Run all you want but you'll always be from it
Start over again but a piece of you will always
Be at
Home, embrace
Home embrace
Home embrace

The ones I Love
03:18
|

I awoke to the sound of crushing bones.
Post an online ad, for a vacancy
Swipe left or right but please validate me
When I do the dishes who's gonna dry?
Who will keep their toothbrush right beside mine?
I left the ones I love behind,
To rot away on company time.
Now I move on but can't decide,
Is home ahead or?
I fell in love, on these dirty streets
Skipped right over the piss stained concrete
But these days the piss soaks my feet
and I'm amazed how rose the lens could be
I left the ones I love behind,
To rot away on company time.
Now I move on but can't decide,
Is home ahead or
What if I told you, I think about you all the time?
What if I told you, I think about you naked all the time?

I'll Be Here (Part 2)
02:41
|
|||
I'll be here, watching my world disappear
I'll be here, watching the wallpaper peel
I'll be here, watching my skin start to peel away
But rome wasn't built in a day
Oh how fucking cliche

You Alone
04:15
|
|||
You made the normal things seem better, like coca cola in a real glass bottle
You made my life feel smaller, that special kind of insignificance
Where you don’t mind feeling like nothing, cos you’re someone's everything
No you don't mind feeling like nothing, when you’re someone's everything
I wanted to come home, home to you and you alone
You alone
You made my life feel fuller, like a butterfly trapped in a jam jar
You made the end seem further, your favourite film played at half the speed
You made the scenes out of order, looking back it never made any sense
You gave the scenes more drama, maybe you were just a bad director
I wanted to come home, home to you and you alone
You alone
What do you do with all those memories? Your favourite film played at half the speed
What do you do with all those memories? Your favourite film played in reverse
Its the worst
You made the birds sing louder, an open mic night crowded and drunken
You made the chords sound sweeter, that’s life in an echo chamber
You made me feel so ugly, hollow eyes dead and sunken
You made the other guys seem better, the sports model of your favourite car
I wanted to come home, home to you and you alone
You alone
I never thought that after all this time, I'd still be singing songs about you
But here we are and here it is
This one's for you, I hope you like it

Sleep (Part 2)
04:13
|

6 whole months since you left, do you know how much you hurt me yet?
Another month deeper in debt but I can’t bring myself to care
All the pretty things we bought for our home
They got our curse and they’re falling apart
Like the final days, like the fall of rome
We lost the faith and spread ourselves too thin
I’d give it all I’d give anything just to be next to you again
I’d give it all I’d give everything just to sleep to you
Again
I think of all the fragile things, that lasted longer than both of us
I think of all the memories, that we reduced to ash and dust
All the pretty things we bought for our home
They got our curse and they’re falling apart
Like the final days, like the fall of rome
We lost the faith and spread ourselves too thin
I’d give it all I’d give anything just to be next to you again
I’d give it all I’d give everything just to sleep to you
Again
Like a candle burning, I’m sick of always yearning
For something that I will never know
And when i reach the end I will destroy myself
Leave a puddle lying on the floor

Did I love you more than you loved me?
I think I know the answer and its probably
So when I do the dishes who will dry and who will keep their toothbrush next to mine?
But I miss the way you made me feel, and I miss the way
You made my home feel real, you made my home feel real
I miss eating pizza with you, miss watching the sunset over the sea
Miss the way you’d leave little love letters waiting there for me, waiting there for me
Oh how things change, and fall away
And I dissociate, a little more everyday
But I miss the way you made me feel, and I miss the way
You made my home feel real, you made my home feel real

Sick To Death
06:02
|

Sick to death of feeling that I am not enough
Sick to death of feeling my worth is not as much
Sick to death of feeling uncomfortable in my home
Sick to death of feeling that I'm always alone
Sick to death of feeling my house is not my home
Sick to death of feeling my home is not my own

Home (Reprise)
04:46
|

I used to love you, with a love stronger than I've ever known
Now I can't stand the sight of you, in what once was our home.
A love that's dead, dearly departed.
A love that's dead and a home that's martyred
