It’s all so fantastic
To be your friend
To catch my breath
Every time you pose a question
It’s so romantic
To reach for your hand
And count to ten
If I don’t feel safe enough
But you won’t dance here
My alarm doesn’t seem to make it happen
They are loud
Around me
They are loud
Around me
Jump on the table
Jump on the table
Jump on my table
Leave your mark here
Come on
Yet you won’t dance with me
I bought new shoes just for the occasion
They are loud
Around me
In your room, fading star
With your rings to the side
We’ll meet once more
When it all matters

Do you ever go to sleep thinking why?
Shhh, better luck next time
Don’t overwhelm yourself
No outcome is worth the pain
Do you ever think of me?
There’s no treat from ashes
Make yourself breakfast
Make yourself lunch
What’s the difference, really?
Don’t wake up too late
Don’t wake up too late
You’ll waste your day
Don’t wake up too late
Don’t wake up too late
You’ll waste someone’s day
All my tears were swiftly read
Collecting dust above my shelf
And how decent can I look
As I step out on a rainy day
Veer up and down the daily marches
Feel awful things with no discussions
Sat down by the river, counting waves
Waiting for an ocean to rise
Don’t wake up too late
Don’t wake up too late
Have your bed look decently made
Have a conversation
From a new kind of nature
All my tears were swiftly read
Collecting dust above my shelf
Can I jump headfirst to the pool?
Embrace the cold and touch the floor
Keep me wired
And then, make me quiet
Deaf in one ear
With no reason behind it
Crash before it’s too late
Give and never reclaim
Leave the concept behind
Fear your death all your life
I’ll be the first to jump
Expecting your presence behind
I’ll be the first to jump
Please don’t leave me hanging
And when the mask falls off
It dangles from the side
Pull it, rip it off my face
No matter how much skin it drags
Do it all in one swing
Don’t hesitate this time
Do it just for me
I promise I won’t cry

I'm going to rush until I make it
Like when the rich pretend they're failing
Only not the same level as it ever was
And state the tales of glory,
Involving different stories
Consuming, when there's nothing left at all
I'm talking now
Don't interrupt me
Ever
Again
I'm going to trust imperialism,
Believe that no-one here is reasonable
Oh baby, what could ever go wrong?
Let's privatise as forfeit,
And so divide and conquer all land
Oh baby, what could ever go wrong?
Jus primae noctis
Sic semper tyrannis
Pulcher et fortissimus
Blurred uncanny valley
And so, when the light goes out again
And the world comes to an end
We'll see how much this helps you forget

And with the confidence of a rampante
You didn’t realise you were abducted
And with the bombing of a headquarter
I couldn’t tell you how it all started
Such a mistake was made in the 60s
But I don’t care for boomer in partake
I was not there
And I could not find it
I’m here, I live in the present tense
I’m here to stay awake and you will never feel regret again
I’m right here, in the comfort of your bed
The safety of your house and the pleasure of your scent
I’m here, I’m there
I’m right fucking everywhere
I had this dream once where a boulder was thrown from a giant slingshot straight through my heart
I know it sounds stupid, but I’ve never felt more fear as when I thought of this as I died
Death means complications, not only do I not know what comes next but I’m hurting what’s now left behind
And there comes depression, poisoning like a parasite, depriving all excitement from things I once liked
Now I’m most awakened, fearing for the fears to come back whilst I’m paying for three hours a night
Don’t get it mistaken, I am not regretting, I am just afraid for reality to think that I’m lying
Can someone just please listen to me for once?

My skin got peeled
Everyone’s wondering what caused it
It could’ve been the sun
Could’ve been a fall
Could be any sort of wound
Or it could’ve been you
I said hi to you once
Your response was very dry
I said hi to you so many times
So many times
The thought of you clear in my eyes
The day of faith, you’re far behind
My greetings were disrupted every single fucking time
And I stared right at the mirror trying to understand why you were laughing
But all I saw was someone whose flesh had just begun to crumble
And the pain was so disturbing I just thought my mind was turning
But it wasn’t my decision to be turned from man to puppet
All devotions to my purpose were becoming so uncertain
All creations in my image were delivered by mistake
And the stakes of all my loving are intending harakiri
All of this because you just said:
“Once was enough”
Once was more than enough
And I said hi to you so many times
But clearly it was not what you deserved
I’m sorry for being myself when I should’ve been someone else
My skin got peeled
My heart got ripped out of my body
My lungs filled up with water
My neck broke
And the last thing that my stupid brain could come up with is:
“The banana got peeled”
