great drama
05:52

(a tender dream
more like a nightmare
filled with
faces spiralling
and old lovers
that will never leave)
hey hey
are you sleeping
let’s make you dream of something
that will twist you up
just a little
(just a little)
what if you were with the person
you think you love
they loved you back
and all that stuff
holding hands
laughing it off
you are in love
always have been
never admitted
now you’re screwed up
and stuck in those dreams
they follow you ‘round
wherever you go
they keep you up
until the daylight shows
great drama
great drama
a slap in the face
would probably feel better
don’t hate yourself
it is too late
now the lover’s gone
and you are out of head
but don’t
hate yourself now
it's never over yet
no, no
go back to sleeping
hey hey
are you awake now
(oh well)
just go back to sleep
and close your eyes
we’ll throw it at you
another dream
another dream
to make you feel like hell
but don't hate yourself now it's
only a dream
it's only...
there’s some sand in your pocket
and you can’t walk
"cause it’s too heavy
there’s some sand in your head
and it rolls up when you sleep
there’s some blood in your mouth
and you don’t know
where it’s coming from
there’s a noise in your head
there’s a siren
it won’t stop
(no no no no)
no it won’t
no it won’t
no it won’t stop

past & present
03:59
|

(it either moves u
or it takes you by the throat
all those things life throws you
and takes back
the past
the things that were
present
and the things that will
what are they
where are they from
where are they going
it's hard to catch a breath
sometimes,
somehow)
past & present
moving fast
and i stand
somewhere
in the middle
of a room full of paintings
looking at all
of those lifeless faces
thinkin' to myself
"is this what
we are becoming too
some kind of dead"
past & present
moving fast and i say
everything changes way too fast
i should be more afraid
and go out to feel the sun
on my skin
'cause it's the only thing
that makes me feel alive
here in this crowded town
full of people
screaming
shit
and i tried
to survive
and i tried to cover up
all of my bones with
some kind of happy
but i couldn't find
my way home
i was heading north
i was heading west
people told me
"girl no you are south"
oh and i tried
to make it out alive
in this mess around me
but the past and the present
they kept
talking loud
and loud
and loud
and louder
ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah
they were so loud, so loud
and i tried
oh i try

science of fish
04:06
|

[science of fish
is the science of me
or another fish
finding comfort
in distant love
& solitude]
i am a fish
born from the winter
i rise
i swallowed the sea
when i was young
i drowned
oh my
oh my
oh my
oh my youth
i think i caught
something wrong
oh my
oh my
oh my
oh my god
can i go
back
home
there's water on my skin
water on my skin
i'm art
i'm quiet as fire
things they burn my mind
i'm alive
i think
i caught
something
a cold
carried the wind
the earth
it hurts
i am
so low
so lost
solo
i love
the solitude i got
i think
i lost something
my head
my heart
my feet
can't touch the ground
i am
so low
so lost
solo
i feel my best
when i'm alone
i am still a fish
sensible as 10
i laugh
i stand inbetween
the lilies
and all
i've loved
i am
i am
i am
i am
i am
something
i can't understand
and why
and why
am i
so emotional
i can't float
home

a walk
05:43
|

(people
and stuff
they swallow you
here
and there
now
and then
without notice
u suddenly need
to run away from all of it
and feel the outside.
just
take
a walk)
i need to take
a walk
alone in the park
i need to freeze
from my bones,
they crack
in the pavement
my shoes
they stay trapped
just like my head
thinking of both
you and all
there is alive
i need to take
a walk
somewhere
out there
wherever
whenever
just to get
my head out of my chest
and my heart
it's pounding so fast
for everything
and nothing at all
i sometimes wish
i could just
wrap up
all there is inside my mind
can't figure out
it's all collided
can't go on
no it's not right
& i need to take
a walk
please
no need to talk
i need to be closer
but far away
from everything
i just need to breathe
in
breathe
out
just need to breathe
just
breathe

soft & slow sounds
from somewhere
between the sea
and the sky
hoping to comfort one
somehow,
sometimes
in the darkest times
