If I was in control of all my thoughts
Then surely I would not have thought at all
How easy it would be to not get caught
For painting all the walls in aerosol
They say these thoughts are thought by everyone
But only acted on by those undone
They say these thoughts are thought by everyone
But only acted on by those undone
The stream of traffic whirring past my face
An automatic wall invisible
A thought so out of time and out of place
That I could walk across to end it all
They say these thoughts are thought by everyone
But only acted on by those undone
They say these thoughts are thought by everyone
But only acted on by those undone
And why then in high places must I think
That I could put gravity to the test
I think I know that I would only sink
But I can't seem to put my mind at rest
They say these thoughts (they say these thoughts)
Are only acted on by those undone
They say these thoughts are thought by everyone
But only acted on by those undone

Everything is caving in.
Running out of oxygen and rationing.
If common sense is typical,
Why am I so cynical and critical?
All my failures on display,
Watch me bail and back away.
I'm derailing, fucking sailing straight for you.
If there's nothing outside,
You can run but you can't hide.
Inflammatory rhetoric
And algorithmic sedatives take effect.
Everybody do the shame,
Playing an unending game, you're all the same.
If there's nothing outside,
You can run but you can't hide.
If there's nothing outside,
You can run but you can't hide.

Smart ass sitting in your art class, bunking off,
wants to play chess but you never learnt how
A metaphor now that you’re 24,
out on your own trying not to burn out.
It’s ok if you haven’t figured anything out.
Ok, but at least think about what to do now
Just fake it till you make it
and you shrug off the doubt,
shrug off the doubt...
I didn’t want you to see,
I didn’t want to believe
That I would grow up to be
This shitty version of me
Imposter with Stockholm,
I’m just a black-and-gold knock-off
I’m Pharlap’s heart with a lung infection,
unimpressive, just pathetic, dumb and reckless
I didn’t want you to see,
I didn’t want to believe
That I would grow up to be
This shitty version of me
I didn’t want you to see (All my flaws on display)
I didn’t want to believe (They only get in the way)
I would grow up to be (burn and then fade away) (burn and then fade away)
This shitty version of me

Demerit

I drive silently to you.
Mileage signs to find the truth.
I spy violent déjà vu.
Lies have led to red and blue.
You’re my demerit, stain against my name.
I know I’ll never make the same mistake.
You lacerate, no referee to mediate.
Assassination, while I plead for an escape.
You’re my demerit, stain against my name.
I know I’ll never make the same mistake.
It looks like rain, you go inside and lie awake.
The sky’s not grey, it’s silver-lined and mine to take.

Watching late-night reruns, you’re lying on our bed.
You’re asleep and I’m a drunk so I kiss your forehead.
I realise as I switch off the light in the kitchen...
I’m fucking pinned against the wall.
There’s nothing else I want at all
Your forearm pressed against my throat.
I’ll surrender till the end of my life if you’re mine.
For all of my regrets
For all the stupid things I’ve said
I’ll never take this back
I’m fucking pinned against the wall.
There’s nothing else I want at all
Your forearm pressed against my throat.
I’ll surrender till the end of my life...
If you’re mine, leave me scarred.
Your eyes cut like shards of ceramic.
I’m fucking pinned against the wall.
There’s nothing else I want at all
Your forearm pressed against my throat.
I’ll surrender till the end of my life if you’re mine.

Wake up in disbelief again
Reliving history again
Stay up until it’s 3am,
I can’t sleep I just fall back to bed,
But it’s all in my head.
It never ends, it’s coming around again.
It never ends, it’s coming around again.
Wake up in disbelief again
Reliving history again
Stay up until it’s 3am,
I can’t sleep I just fall back to bed,
But it’s all in my head.
It never ends, it’s coming around again.
It never ends, it’s coming around again.
I can’t sleep I just fall back to bed,
But it’s all in my head.
It never ends, it’s coming around again.
It never ends, it’s coming around again.

I am hollow, I’m a shell
In my own personal hell
Put me back up on the shelf
Biographically unwell
I’m a mess that you could sell
To feel better about yourself
Hide and seek
Hide from me
Cauterise and sever
I need you more than ever
Wake up in a hazy hungover daze
Can’t stay clean in this mess that I’ve made
Pick up and put down
Walk in and walk out
Drink up, swallow down
Sleep in and pass out
Cauterise and sever
I need you more than ever
Cauterise and sever
I need you more than ever
Wake up in a hazy hungover daze
Can’t stay clean in this mess that I’ve made
