lyrics

I don’t set an alarm anymore,
Because there isn’t much to get up for in the morning.
Nobodies bringing me breakfast in bed
And tea for one doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

I don’t eat like I used to,
Because everything in the fridge
Seems to leave me before I’ve realised it needs my attention.
Don’t fall in love with potential
Fall in love patterns they say
And If polka dots are promise
I’m the paisley prince of poor choices,
Brocade
Basket weave
Basket case.
Checkered
Chinoiserie
Fleur-de-lee
Ogee of potential and heartbreak
Heaven sent to make the wrong choices at the right time.

Self sabotaged myself into solitude
To ponder my existence and what it means to love
In the company of Pothos and Philodendron,
Dracaena Trifasciata,
Take my labored breath
Sway under the current of the ceiling fan
And cleanse the air live in
I measure time in cigarettes now
I measure happiness in pints
I measure meaning in Marijuna.


The next armchair philosopher
The world does not need.

I forgot the world was even out there,
because I’m trying to find Bukowski
at the bottom of this bottle
And I have him in my sights.

Everything has changed and nothing,
You are still the light
And I am still the tunnel.
But there is no end,
We both live forever.

I still write songs about you even though you’re gone
I still buy your favourite flowers so my house smells like a home.
I still play your favourite records and I dance to them alone,
I still write songs about you even though you’re gone.
