No use sprinting through bushes and creeks
What you run from always keeps you in sight
No use cursing the folks you put trust in
Who left you starving and thirsty through the night
What’s left to keep you alive?
Who’s there to hold onto tight?
You’re turning the soil
For an unmarked grave
And it’s such a nice day to die
No point turning through pages for guidance
Direction won’t save you this time
No point dreaming for relief
The nightmares won’t give up the fight
What’s left to keep you alive?
Who’s there to hold onto tight?

Trying to make a breakthrough
But forever at a loss
Time to step down
Time to pull the saddle off
Did all you could do
But in the end for what cost?
Time to step down
Time to pull the saddle off
Go on and break me
Is it what you have to do?
Hold my breath waiting for you to come through
Go ahead and tell me
The significance of you
I’m over scraping shit off of my shoes
Trying to make a breakthrough
But forever at a loss
Time to step down
Time to take the saddle off
Did all you could do
But in the end for what cost?
Time to step down
Time to take the saddle off
Don’t try and bait me
I know what you do
You herd sheep and force feed them spew
You’re not as big as you might think
You can’t deny the truth
Limp shoulders won’t hold what will ensue

Weekend Drive
03:10

Jot your notes
Adjust the mirrors
Perform your speech untried
You want to let go
Had more than enough
The rain won’t subside
So roll the windows up
Keep the warmth inside
Weekend drive
A weak end
It’s getting dark
No stars tonight
Fair weather’s on time
Bless me once
Ignore me twice
This sneeze burns dry
Pull to the side
Toss me into the sky
Weekend drive
A weak end
Your critique
I’m car sick

Micro Sleeper

Taking time to think of all things you could do
Getting caught in a place where nothing moves
Keep on hoping the illusions will come true
For a second you’re alive in a world brand new
Drown in hypotheticals
Behind the wheel, you’re sleeping
Driving past the newsagents
You’re fantasising lottery wins
Winning big and maybe buying a house or two
Contemplating the people you’d give a million to
Ignoring everything that you now don’t need to do
No longer dreaming for a world that’s built around you
Keep on hoping the illusions will come true

In distress
Wanting to see you
What a shame to make excuses
Where are you tonight?
Stage fright
Treatment for dwelling on the best times spent with you
You are
Placid
When it’s so rough
Your train has come
Push your way through
Wave once and turn away window side
When you said
We wouldn’t meet again
Relief had never felt so painful before
You’re content
I can’t blame
I just wasn’t set for this

Peddle through the zone
Opposing the reputation
An absentee
Shadows and controls the present
Seeing clear through your collapsed eyes
They plant seeds and you watch them rise
Replacing ideals you haven’t recognised
Reducing it all to shit
Vultures will fight
See things in hindsight
It was dead in flight
The scent of worthlessness
An absentee strangles the enthusiasm
Everything’s gone to shit

Bank On Me
03:24

She’s detergent
The queen of hate
She’ll make em and break em
She don’t hesitate
She’s an expert
I’m a deterred agent
A petulant guy
I need something to buy
Nothing to sell
But a wink of the eye
I’m no less than a mess
I’m a pig stye
But you ain’t a mystery
And I ain’t nothing to write about
I have never felt this weak before
So out of focus
Baby, can’t you see?
No one cares about you
Just like no one cares about me
I could breathe for you if you would bank on me
I wanna care about you and I want you to care about me
She’s a poem
The last slow dance
The smell of fortuitous circumstance
Lights are glowing
Maybes are my only chance
I try hard to play discrete
With a low-impact personality
Can’t overplay this hand
Or she’ll grow sick of me

I’m concerned with the urgency
Arriving at my side posthaste
You’re alert to me
You lack that discerning taste
We’re already so comfortable
We could sit here until we ache
You’re sweeter than me
With a knack for being a beat off pace
I’m so free of fear
Stepping out of place
Taking hits from you until I’m bent back into shape
Think I’ll stay here
If you’ll have me, babe
You keep on calling back and I’ve lost the key to my cage
I’ll meet you down by the water
First to arrive gets the bragging rights
My feet are always late
Your boasting is overpolite
Low key but so perceptive
You knew just what I meant
I’ve never felt anticipation
To reflect on time well spent

Start Again
01:46
|

|
Nothing left here but bone spurs
Reminders to try harder
No set method to fix it
No ambition to be smarter
I need a breath of fresh air
The taste of new morning
Settle into tomorrow
The breeze is warming
I’m drained
I’m spent
I’m tired
Please let me start over again

Revision

With a little clarity
We could be like them
Switch off whatever’s bugging you
I know you can do it
We could sit on the grass
Just like we used to
We could exist again
Just like the hero dying
It never feels real
You’re still beside me
Do you remember talking for hours on end?
A first kiss on a walk at the foreshore
The terrace house we lived in
Abandoned and emptied
It was all so true back then
But I can’t feel it
Do you remember?
I won’t forget
