I feel kinda bad
And I feel kinda sad
And it’s not your fault
I don’t want you to be mad
But I did it again
What time is it, man?
It’s 10:28pm
It’s 10:28pm
And it starts again
What if I’m not good enough
What if I haven’t got the stuff
What if you are just polite
You can’t really stand the sight of me
It’s getting so hard
No, no, not that kind of hard
Ha ha ha ha I’m so funny
Would you marry me?
I don’t know why I’m still talking
It’s 10:28pm
It’s 10:28pm
And it starts again
I’m probably not good enough
I don’t think I have the stuff
You are just being polite
You can’t really stand the sight of me
Of me
Ba ba ba ba da ba dum
da dum daaa

Fake

Ahh
3, 2, 1, go
Lost myself on the way to lunch
Lost myself in the summer bunch
But it’s okay
I lost myself but I found someone
Lost myself and I’m having fun
It’s a new day
And I can’t help but feel
That nothing’s real
The game is fake
This is a mistake
It’s all fake, it’s all fake
A mistake
It’s all fake, it’s all fake
Lost myself on the way to lunch
I lost myself in the summer bunch
But it’s okay, it’s okay
And I can’t help but feel
That nothing’s real
The game is fake
This is a mistake
It’s okay, it’s okay
It’s a mistake
It’s just fake, it’s just fake

Plug Socket
01:55
|

|
Let’s go
I wanna be a plug socket
I want you to need me
But my baby runs on batteries
Doesn’t need a little plug socket like me
I’ll be anything you want, dear
Please don’t go, I need you here
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
Please need me too
Do you really think I’m obsessed?
No, I’m perfectly healthy
I wanna be a plug socket
I want you to be useless without me
So you can’t function without me
I think that’s fair
I’ll be anything you want, dear
Please don’t go, I need you here
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you
I need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you

My Little Drug
02:41
|

|
It feels so good
Just as it should
Don’t go away
Need you to stay
Can’t be happy
Can you save me
Tell me it’s real
I need to feel
I’m not happy with her
I’m not happy without her
I’m not happy with her
Not happy without her
She’s my little drug
She’s all I love
It’s unhealthy
But she loves me
Get your hands off
She’s mine, back off
It’s unhealthy
But she loves me
But she loves me
It’s all my fault
Rub in the salt
Why don’t you care
Do you like my hair
I’m just upset
I can’t forget
The things you said
Went to my head
I’m not happy with her
I’m not happy without her
I’m not happy with her
Not happy without her
She’s my little drug
She’s all I love
It’s unhealthy
But she loves me
Get your hands off
She’s mine, back off
It’s unhealthy
But she loves me
She loves me
She loves me

Cut Self Not

Cut self not
I forgot
Please stop cry
Not your fault
Cut self not
It’s a rule
I broke it
‘Cause I’m cool
Please don’t leave me
I’m on my knees
And I’m begging you to
Please help me to
Cut self not
So I jot
Lyrics that
Mean a lot
Helps me live
Stop me die
But still hurt
Feel alive
Please don’t leave me
I’m on my knees
And I’m begging you to
Please help me to
Cut self not
I don’t want to be here anymore
I don’t want to be here anymore
I don’t want to wear long sleeves forever
I don’t want to wear long sleeves

Dad
02:21
|

|
I took a walk with my dad today
Said some things I thought I should say
It’s been so long since we’ve been alone
I’ve realised how much I’ve grown
I said Dad, I need some help
Dad, I need some help
Dad, I’m growing up, and I don’t like it
He said well that’s tough
Because everyone grows up
He told me about his life, and it was rough
I said oh my god that must’ve been tough
He inspires me to try and stay strong
So I thought I’d write him a song
Dad I need some help
Dad I need some help
Dad, I’m falling down
And I want to give up
But you say I’m better than that
Dad, I wish I was better than that

Monsterz
01:27
|

|
There’s a monster under my bed
He’s calling my name
And he wants me to check
So I do, and he grabs my leg
He pulls me back
Sits on my chest, I hear a crack
My eyes are wide
As my ribcage starts to collapse
And it feels bad it fucking hurts
If I complain, then he’ll do worse
Yeah, so, I don’t wanna make him angry
I don’t wanna make him angry
There’s a monster in my head
He’s pretty fit, you know what he said?
He said step outside your bedroom
I’ve got friends who’d like to meet you
And these other guys
They were scary, they said things that made me cry
And they pushed me, and they kicked me
They did things I didn’t like!
Well I, I guess I must’ve made them angry
I guess I must’ve made them angry
Angry, angry
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
I don’t wanna be nobody no more

When My Parents Cry
02:24
|
|||
|
When my parents fight
They fight over what’s best for me
I don’t feel guilty
When my parents cry
They cry over that thing I did
I don’t feel anything
Maybe I’m just scared
Of the things inside my head
And I’m scared to tell the truth
‘Cause the truth will always hurt somehow
Maybe I’m obsessed
Situation was misread
Wasn’t your fault, I’m just weird right now
I’m just weird
I feel weird right now
When my parents cry
They cry over that thing I did
I don’t feel anything

Space
03:14

|
One, two, three, four
I’m not good for you
I don’t know enough
And I care too much
And I’m not great with cues
And some things I do
To cheer you up when you feel shit
Make you feel worse
I think we need some space, she said
I think we need some space
I listened to Race
And god, I wish I felt things
I know this time it’s real
You used to make me feel
I promise I loved you
You really made me feel things
You’re not good for me
‘Cause everything I do
I feel like I should do it for you
I have a need
And 5973 miles
Wasn’t meant to stop me
I think we need some space, I said
I think we need some space
I listened to Race
And god, I wish I felt things
I know this time it’s real
You used to make me feel
I promise I loved you
You really made me feel things
You used to make me feel
You used to make me
Used to make me feel
You used to make me feel
You used to make me
Used to make me feel
Used to make me feel
Used to make me
Used to make me feel
Used to make me feel
Used to make me
Used to make me feel

Slowly, I’m learning
I don’t need to tell her
Everything about my world
And I’m learning
My world is not hers

I'm Happy For You
03:22
|
|||
|
I feel like I’m not getting better
I feel like I’m letting myself down
I’m starting to forget her
But not the things we did
And I can’t help but feel incomplete
When I see you guys together
And it kills me to see what I could’ve had
But I’m happy for you
I’m happy for you
Gonna make myself sick
I wish I was you
I’m happy for you
‘Cause everything’s new with you
It’s all the same
Nothing ever changes for me

Daniel

Hey Daniel, you’re like a brother to me
That’s probably because you’re my brother
Yes it’s true, we do have two different mothers
But we’re just like each other in some aspects
You’re a real one, man
I’ll get you free tickets to my show
Don’t worry, man
Dan is my brother and he loves me
Daniel is my brother and I love him too
Hey Daniel, you’re like a brother to me
It seems the second time round
That joke’s not as funny
But you’re smiling, I know you are
I’m probably smiling too
I really had fun today
It’s always great hanging out with you
You’re a real one, man
I’ll get you free tickets to my show
Don’t worry, man
Dan is my brother and he loves me
Daniel is my brother and I love him too
Ohhh-ohhh-ohhhh

We Will Never Be Orite
02:54

Uhh okay, uhh
One, two, three, four
Go! Go! Go! Go!
You're heading in the wrong direction
Face east when the wind goes south
You've got the wrong idea
I know that you're bad for my health
Navigating with the map upside down
Wrong trail you'll face when you wake up
I'm feeling you know what I mean when I say ad absurdum
You say it’s not a problem
I say let’s talk about it
You say I'm starting to slip
But I highly doubt it
I see your thoughts play out
In this dimly lit room
4 eyes 2 lies 1 sky
You're sly but I can pick it up soon
Instrumental break
It’s crazy, you're not thinking
Prowling the ground to see who bites
Hey! Maybe you should cut it out
I know it’s not my time
They've got tasers, and red lasers
Your blazer’s hung over your chair
When the DJ counts 1 2 3 4
You and me are gonna die together on the dancefloor
You say it’s not a problem
I say let’s talk about it
You say I'm starting to slip
But I highly doubt it
I see your thoughts play out
In this dimly lit room
4 eyes 2 lies 1 sky
You're sly but i can pick it up soon
Pick it up, up, up, up, up!
You say it’s not a problem
I say let’s talk about it
You say I'm starting to slip
But I highly doubt it
I see your thoughts play out
In this dimly lit room
4 eyes 2 lies 1 sky
You're sly but I can pick it up soon
And all three of little piggies died
But the big bad wolf survived
