Am I alive to romanticise
the past?
Repulsive
like cold hands on a stomach
or a breath of tinned tuna
Comforting
like brick walls holding together around us
or like a mother
I am alive to see the future
slip up and trip
before my eyes
Majestic
like peonies in the dark
What if I were you?
What if I were you,
Peony, Peony?
What if I were you?
What if I were you?
Forever in the dark

Let the teeth of time fall out
‘til there’s no fangs left in my mouth
Wherever I’ll be going to
I know I would still be blue
So, don’t look back
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Right now is all I ever had
Let the sand slip through your hands
Just flip the hourglass ‘round again
Whatever I’ll be doing next
I know I’ll either regret or forget and reset
So, don’t look back
Don’t look back
Don’t look back
Don’t look too far ahead
Don’t look back
Don’t look too far ahead
Don’t look back
I always wish I was younger by now
Age is the god that decides it all
Don’t look too far ahead
Don’t look too far ahead

I don’t want your sugar in my coffee
I’m bitter all the way
Spending a lifetime waiting on the sideline
when I’m the one to make the rules
Is it obvious I’m green as Phthonus?
When I see you do what I was supposed to
Is it obvious I’m green as Phthonus?
When I see her do what I was supposed to
Another way out of even trying out
Feels like it’s all been done before
I keep on drifting into outer space
Oh, how small I always was
Like a pale blue dot
Is it obvious I’m green as Phthonus?
When I see you do what I was supposed to
Is it obvious I’m green as Phthonus?
When I see her do what I was supposed to
Oblivion
Oblivion

I feel myself fizzling out
I am nothing now
The waiting burns me
I’m lost and it hurts
I was blind
Still can’t see
Betwixt and between
Sore phasing time
I’m a liminal paradigm
Becoming a self
Becoming myself
Becoming a self
Becoming myself

I don’t have to care
But I do, but I do
And I don’t want to know
more than what I have to
Tend to me
I feel out of place
Codependency,
You know where to find me
I didn’t want to know
But now I do, now I do
And I don’t want to share
only if I have to
So, tend to me
I feel out of place
Codependency,
You know where to find me
So, tend to me
I feel out of place
Codependency,
You know where to find me
I’ll be your bathroom tile if I have to
I’ll be your bathroom tile if I have to

I’m feeling nervous
I gotta decide what’s best for me
Escape the surface
I’m feeling lost, but I want you to find me
Find me [x3]
Fulfilling purpose
I’m standing right there next to me
Escape the circus
I’m leaving now, but I want you to follow me
Follow me [x3]
Come find me I’m hiding by the funfair railway road
Come find me I’m hiding in my bed all alone
All alone
Don’t know why I do this
I was on the inside looking in
Escape the careless
I lock myself out, but want you to invite me in
Invite me in
Invite me back in [x2]
Come find me I’m hiding between crowds down the harbour site
Come find me I’m hiding at the park in the café line
Come find me I’m a ghost haunting the supermarket aisles
Come find me I’m lonely now you’re not by my side
And I’m running, keep on running away from you
And I’m running, keep on running away
away
from me

and I’m wide awake
Nights go slowly since you’re gone
and I’m away
5:15
and I’m still awake
You run like amphetamines
through my veins
What if we separate and cross paths in five years and I have a dog? What does a self even mean? Am I one whole thing? Every word borrows meaning from the universe and it’s all dispersed into liminal figures between what was and what yet is not. Can we bring together what life has separated and violence has torn apart?
Nights go slowly [x2]
Now I dance
Now I dream
Dream a little dream of me
Now I dance
Now I dream
Now I dance in a dream
Now I dance
Now I dream
Dream a little dream of me
