Buttercup

Can you,
Call me,
In a different state of mind?
She was always just a friend of mine,
You’ve let your assumptions run wild.
Butter me up buttercup,
I need a little liquor in my cup,
to feel alive.
You’re the king of cruel,
It’s a different story,
You cut me loose,
Soon as I run for it.
The king of cruel,
You’re the king of cruel alright.
Do you feel alive?
You think I don’t need this,
Cut me and I bleed it.
Would you drain me dry?
Bite until you break skin,
God I find this loving tiring.
Nobody knows, everybody wants something.
Nobody knows, no nobody knows,
Nobody knows, no nobody knows.
Can’t this wait till the morning?
I’ve not got the energy for it tonight.
I struggle to sleep now,
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
I’m at your feet now,
Withering in your power.
Your power.
You’re the king of cruel,
It’s a different story,
You cut me loose,
Soon as I run for it.
The king of cruel,
You’re the king of cruel alright.
Do you feel alive?
You think I don’t need this,
Cut me and I bleed it.
Would you drain me dry?
Bite until you break skin,
God I find this loving tiring.
Nobody knows, everybody wants something.
Nobody knows, no nobody knows,
Nobody knows, no nobody knows.
Nobody knows of it,
Taste the nectar on your lips,
Get a hold of it.
Nobody knows, no nobody knows,
Nobody knows, no nobody knows,
Nobody knows, no nobody knows
Do you feel alive?
You think I don’t need this,
Cut me and I bleed it.
Would you drain me dry?
Bite until you break skin,
God I find this loving tiring.
Nobody knows, everybody wants something.
Nobody knows, no nobody knows,
Nobody knows, no nobody knows.

Get What You Want

You think a lot of me,
I’m never sure why you do,
Chaos is calling me,
Chaos is calling me through.
I could get used to this,
Usually I’m trying my best to improve,
Chaos is calling me,
Chaos is calling me through.
I can’t win the fight,
Honey on my own,
It could pass me by,
Or have me by the throat,
Or have me by the throat.
Can you get what you want (out of me)?
Honey you know I (I believe).
I can be too indecisive,
When you cut me I bleed.
Take it, or leave it now.
Fuck it, I’m feeling down. (clean: “you know I’m feeling down”)
We can get it right this time round,
We can get it right this time round.
I can’t win the fight,
Honey on my own,
It could pass me by,
Or have me by the throat,
Or have me by the throat.
Can you get what you want (out of me)?
Honey you know I (I believe).
I can be too indecisive,
When you cut me I bleed.
Can you get what you want (out of me)?
Honey you know I (I believe).
I can be too indecisive,
When you cut me I bleed.

Call You A Criminal

Call you a criminal,
Cause you took my heart.
My patience is thin you know,
But we’ve come this far,
We’ve come this far.
Say it’s unjustified,
The way you spent my time.
Manipulate, is it too late again?
Divert my eye,
Divert my eye.
Honey is it too late I’ve been,
Telling you it’s all the timing of it,
The timing of it
The timing of it
City lights take me,
Spend all the loose change I’ve been,
Saving up lately,
Is it too much to ask for,
You to come through I’m,
Missing those eyes.
Turns out,
I’m in awe of you, you know that by now.
Infatuated, lost in haze, disorientated, I now,
Wonder if you’ll ever know.
Honey is it too late I’ve been,
Telling you it’s all the timing of it,
The timing of it.
City lights take me,
Spend all the loose change I’ve been,
Saving up lately,
Is it too much to ask for,
You to come through I’m,
Missing those eyes.
You to come through I’m,
Missing those eyes.
I get lost in all the (I get lost in all),
I get lost in all the,
I get lost in all the (I get lost in all).
City lights take me,
Spend all the loose change I’ve been,
Saving up lately,
Is it too much to ask for,
You to come through I’m,
Missing those eyes.
You to come through I’m,
Missing those eyes.

Best Of Me
02:50

Take it or leave it,
Sick of staring at the ceiling now.
Curse you under my breath,
Stuck inside,
Can feel the chaos under my head calling out.
Do I make it difficult, difficult?
I can hear the chaos calling,
You can never figure me out.
You were only asking after me,
Got to grips with it,
Am I too cynical?
Never know what I mean,
Yeah you never know what I mean.
No high fidelity,
Just negativity,
Stressed out and I’m looking for some clarity,
You don’t see the best of me, best of me.
Trigger under my throat,
What is it that you really want most?
You can find me in the jungle,
Jungle.
You cannot leave me in these dire straits,
We said forever where are you baby?
This situations driving me crazy,
Crazy, crazy.
You were only asking after me,
Got to grips with it,
Am I too cynical?
Never know what I mean,
Yeah you never know what I mean.
No high fidelity,
Just negativity,
Stressed out and I’m looking for some clarity,
You don’t see the best of me, best of me.
Hypothetically, just insecurity,
Stressed out and I’m looking for some energy,
You don’t see the best of me, best of me.
It’s just another mundane Monday,
we’ll make it out of here someday,
Soon, soon.
It’s just another awkward landing,
I’ll make it out of here standing.
You, you.
No high fidelity,
Just negativity,
Stressed out and I’m looking for some clarity,
You don’t see the best of me, best of me.

February's Cold

Cold, cold, cold around here.
She said, I’ve not seen your face,
For what feels like years.
Excuse the mess,
I left it as it was.
And you’re not around here,
Anymore.
I miss you and this miscommunication’s,
Got me going mad, I’m losing patience.
Anything we had could go to waste,
And I can’t make your face out,
Anymore.
She said,
This February’s cold,
I’m scared,
Of ever growing older,
World upon my shoulders,
Where did the light go?
Where didn’t light go?
Missing moments more than regularly.
Quit contemplating could I come home,
Suppose I’m happy cause I said so,
Got what I wanted so I guess I should be.
I miss you and this miscommunication’s,
Got me going mad, I’m loosing patience.
Anything we had could go to waste,
And I can’t make your face out,
Anymore.
She said,
This February’s cold,
I’m scared,
Of ever growing older,
World upon my shoulders,
Where did the light go?
Where didn’t light go?
Where did the light go?
I’m broke and feeling it.
Every second’s stacked with all this mundane shit.
Every Friday closes,
I no longer notice,
What it’s done to me.
