Summer Song 02:21
woke up in the morning sun let the light hit my face till the day was done then i looked up to the starry sky and in the blink of an eye another week went by my eyes feel like a movie screen with a movie ‚bout a life that will never be seen and i feel like a silhouette of a person that wouldn’t just sit inside on their bed summer song went out into the park for a while let the sun burn my skin till i felt wretched and vile then i screamed at the top of my lungs but nobody understood cause i was speaking in tongues and sometimes i feel so alone like a man without a song or a dog without a bone so i wanna call you on your telephone but i’m worried you won’t recognize me now my life is not what it used to be there’s a shadow hanging over me that i can’t see so i hope that it is not my fault and go back to the place where all my hatred is stored now i don’t know if this hermit life will be helpful in the long run with my quest to survive so i sit down and write a summer song i’ll keep running till the sun is gone
4.
a lonely day by the bay nothing to think or to say and the raindrops disappear inside a deeper grey the waves hit against the rocks destroy the fishermen’s docks oh what a peaceful sight of the bay at night oh, i don’t know why you’re gone you had to leave me all alone and i have no reason to be in this prison by the sea oh there’s no chorus in this song no voice to guide you along you have come here to stay for the view of the bay
5.
staring across the street at the yellow-orange building that bursts out the housing block like a rising sun the flip-phone in my pocket starts to vibrate the cell tower across town is calling me powerlines like fishnets spun all over direct my attention towards the sky where a pigeon takes a shit and flies on by life is quite enjoyable by the junction no dreams to mask the dark reality just you and me creatures crawling out the cracks in the street culture's pretty vibrant underground not a single night spent without hearing the sound of an ambulance back alley, oil spills, graffiti on the wall rail depots, motels traffic lights stop the storm i left town one sunless, foggy morning in the hopes of gaining some relevancy abroad turned my notifications off and then i thought: "i'm gonna miss this place"

Aeroplane 06:43
our planet our planet’s spinning out of orbit but you’re you’re keeping me stood still and the sun hasn’t been seen in a year or two but you’re you’re the light the guides me though drink from the wine that gives us love then drink another, and another drown in the waves when it gets rough when there’s no other, to give you cover planes fly over my roof day in, day out and their song it never plays out and i just sit there staring at the sky waiting for the winter to fly by sink to the ground, a concrete fall bones shatter but does it matter? i wake up from a knocking at the door but should i open? i haven’t spoken in so long aeroplane bring me safely back to the ground where the people live & my happiness is bound staring out a window smaller than my face the jet stream has fogged up my mind hyper speed, no up and down there’s no way over, or around my head gets lost between the clouds away from people, lights and crowds terminal three people are queuing up to board you’ll never know how much you mean to me with empty bags in coach class sat in my window seat the weather’s grey, there won’t be much to see lift off with a heaping roar i feel my heart drop to my core the city drifts off more and more just four more hours till we reach the shore our planet our planet’s spinning out of orbit but you’re you’re keeping me stood still
7.
nighttime in all the stories that i might tell daytime in all the stories that you will tell midnight on a night train cabin on my way to morrow half moon half empty darling don't look back in sorrow take me back to the shore where we once stood i lost my voice cannot scream at you no more you got me staring at the televangelist i used to laugh about what faith really is now i'm looking for belief in every single word i breathe i'm losing hope just for the moment the sun's in my eyes but i don't feel okay no i don't feel okay
