dreaming all the time thinking
what am i supposed to do?
pleasure coming through fabric touch
seeing all the colour i can see
wishing it was just you and me
melding all the words we think up
but there's no light to see with human eyes
we don't know any more than the bees
and yet we try to act naturally
as if we know what it means to be alive
and it's like this all the time
but we don't do anything
to change the way we live our lives
we're so unforgiving
feeling sorry for myself for nothing
trying hard to hold on to something
while i'm drifting further away from me
lying all the time feeling
lonely in my only bed
crisis kicking in silently
playing wasting time for free
while i try and find solace in trees
peeling away from civilisation
but its so plain to see with human eyes
we wont know any more than the bees
and yet we try to act honestly
as if we know the truth
and it's like this all the time
but we don't do anything
to change the way we live our lives
we're so unforgiving
feeling sorry for myself for nothing
trying hard to hold on to something
while i'm drifting further away from me

i've been slipping out my mind
i really don't think this is going right
losing too much sleep's no good
i think i'm broken inside
i'll try not to be shy but i
i've been dreaming of you for a little while
i know i'm in your heart for sure
so let me share your smile
it's so right i'm going crazy inside
it's no joke i think i lost it in a cloud of smoke
maybe it's not the time to be thinking about loving again
for at least another while it'll be fun til then
speaking is so hard out loud
so i'll play you a song and you might hear me
we're of the same kind you and i
but i suppose that's where we're going wrong
i'll always be here til i'm not
i've been waiting way longer than my hair
i'll stop freaking out if you say
what i've been waiting for you to say
you're so right i'm going crazy inside
it's no joke i think i lost it in a cloud of smoke
maybe it's not the time to be thinking about loving again
for at least another while we'll have fun til then

catch me on the flip side flipping out
do you wanna have another yeah there is no doubt
try to keep me warm on a winters day
speak my name and follow with a hip hip hooray
if you're sweet on me then i'm sweet on you
come a little closer when there's nothing to do
try to keep me sane and i'll be okay
tell me that i'm doing right everyday
most days i'm in a state
too high to appreciate
outside is my favourite place
and yours is my favourite taste
my eyes are welling up but that's not news
my brains are too intact to be singing to blues
i'm trying to be detached but that's not me
giving out your heart so expect it for free
most days i'm in a state
too high to appreciate
outside is my favourite place
and yours is my favourite taste

Feels Pretty Real

i wake up every day
and in my head i will say
why am i wasting time breathing this air?
i'm a mess of cells and nobody cares
i wont be anyone's wife
i cant agree with drama and strife
i wanna waste my time exploring my brain
if i don't then i will go insane
is this real?
feelings feel
maybe it wont be so bad today
it wont be the case i'm sad to say
is this real?
feelings feel
am i waiting for my life to start?
am i cruising by or falling apart?
i may appear aloof
but in my life i seek a higher truth
can perfection be fictitious and vain
if i feel it when i walk in the rain?
i like to smoke when i'm bored
it makes me feel closer to the lord
if i waste away then no one's to blame
we're all made up exactly the same
is this real?
feelings feel
maybe it wont be so bad today
it wont be the case i'm sad to say
is this real?
feelings feel
am i waiting for my life to start?
am i cruising by or falling apart?
