Burnout

I need a day off, I spent a fiver at the coffee shop,
So I need to keep my job,
I’m so tired, simultaneously wired,
I need a day off, I need a day off
They say I need to progress,
But the progress it just leads to more stress
I need a day off.
‘Cause I don’t remember who I am
The moral high ground ain’t a place I can stand
I need a day off, I need a day off.
‘Cause it’s Monday, Tuesday, when’s it Friday?
‘Cause it’s Monday, Tuesday, when’s it Friday?
It’s Monday, Tuesday
It’s Monday, Tuesday
I gotta train ticket,
Keep it in my back pocket,
Though I’d never use it, it’s nice to know it’s there
I take it out sometimes, I take it out sometimes
And I dream, of getting outta here.
‘Cause I don’t remember who I am
The moral high ground ain’t a place I can stand
I need a day off, I need a day off, I need a day off
‘Cause it’s Monday, Tuesday, when’s it Friday?
‘Cause it’s Monday, Tuesday, when’s it Friday?
It’s Monday, Tuesday
It’s Monday, Tuesday

Invest

“It’s getting on time to go, so move towards the door”
What are they shouting for?
“We’re leaving anyway!”
Back to life’s disarray
The weekend slips away, from us.
And will I come along?
Suppose this night is still young,
So I won’t be moving on, just yet.
Though I dunno yet, if you’re just like the rest,
And I dunno yet, what you’re like when undressed
And I dunno yet, where you go, when you’re stressed
I dunno yet, and I can’t know, because to know, is to invest
And do you see me, be yours completely,
Because I just need a sign,
And the pouring rain, it pulls us in again,
I suppose the stars have aligned for us tonight
Though I dunno yet, if you’re just like the rest,
And I dunno yet, what you’re like when undressed
And I dunno yet, where you go, when you’re stressed
I dunno yet, and I can’t know, because to know, is to invest
It took a while to get here,
This independence is hard won,
And I’d tell you any kind of story baby
Because I wouldn’t tell the truth even to myself
And I don’t know
And I will never know (I’ll never know)
If you’re just like the rest,
Or what you’re like when undressed
Oh I dunno yet,
Where you go when you’re stressed
I dunno yet and I can’t know because to know, is to invest.

Fetch my mask, I’m going out to the wide world
If anyone asks, say you haven’t heard, of this here girl,
Not a single curl, not an unmatched sock,
But worry not, what she wanted she’s now got
And she’s fine, doing fine, feeling fine,
Walking fine, she’s talking fine and she’s looking just fine,
She’s living fine, she’s breathing fine,
She’s fine
I’m standing on the platform, my friends are getting on that train,
So I stay with no direction, as directionless, I remain
They’re all getting married, I’ve yet to see the inside of a boy’s head,
My mom says “get your skates on”, do you really think, that’s going to help?
Cause I’m fine, doing fine I’m feeling fine,
Walking fine, I’m talking fine, and I’m looking just fine,
I’m living fine, I’m breathing fine,
I’m fine
Time slipping through me, I’m not where I thought I’d be
Time slipping through me, I’m not where I thought I’d be
Time slipping through me, I’m not where I thought I’d be
Time slipping through me, I’m not where I thought I’d be

Night Creatures

Come on over for a while
But don’t let them see you slip inside
God forbid, they might see
Or learn the truth
About you and me
Oh you and me
And on the fifth day
I can take no more
I won’t be your creature of the night
Because secrets are no fun
If they can’t be told
So go
Even if it means you’re no longer mine
But were you ever really mine
How foolish was I then
In thinking that we’d reached the end
Skin was smoother, our hair a different shade
Sometimes I still long for those days
And I’m as old now, as you were then
And do your thoughts ever turn my way
And though I’m sure you, roam with creatures anew
It was nice, for a while, to play pretend with you
How I long to play again

Sorry

Oh my darling, don’t say it’s the end,
I could never feel this way again,
You always knew,
That I could never tell the truth,
I’ll pop up now and again,
To let you know what’s been happening,
Sorry, is all I can say,
Said so much now, it’s lost meaning
You’ve ruled my mind, for too long a time
It’s not my way, to make you stay,
Here with me.
You’ll go now where I can’t follow
As good bye’s a hard word to swallow,
I’ll go back, where you won’t see,
The ways I forget you and me,
Or how I try, push you from my mind
So you won’t see, how much you meant
To me.
I can’t live up to what you’d expect me to be.
