Pictures painted in my head are brighter without you Bored of words out your mouth, nothing’s ever new Why feel? Why reveal? I’m not lonely I just need to dream And you will never Understand what that means These drugs are a blanket on my soul, they make me numb Clear headed I walk through tall grass, I wish you hadn’t come Why feel? Why reveal? I’m not lonely I just need to dream And you will never Understand what that means I’m not lonely, I just need to dream And seeing your face Won't take me to that place I’m not lonely I just need to dream And you will never Understand what that means Rather be daydreaming alone

Ghost Love 02:23
I miss you Like childhood I adore you You’re my lesson And after the fall out And after the fall in And after your leaving I can’t sleep We won't sing I can’t eat She’s moved on And after the fall out And after the fall in And after your leaving She won't wait for me

Start by saying what you mean, spoilt little queen I hope he’s pleased with second place, when you’re off your face And you’re whispering things that you do not believe And you’re whispering things that you cannot perceive And you’re whispering things that you cannot tell Do you find it strange, he thinks you’re going to hell? It’s been six months And it still aches Still keeps me awake I hope you Hurt just as much Shudder under his touch Wish I’d never met you at all And he’s whispering things that you do not believe And he’s whispering things that you cannot perceive And he’s whispering things that you’ll never be I won't sleep while you’re a memory Are you in the same boat as me? I’m lost at sea I know that in time, I’ll forget you But do I want to?

Bite 03:46
I don’t care if your office has a bar Or if you drive a faster car You’re a fucking receptionist I guess it’s cool that you’ve had another son Can’t say I’ve ever wanted one He’s just another hole for the sun Just give me a reason why I should give up and stay Apart from mortgage and decay I’m tired of talking about yesterday Why do you put pressure onto me Who do you want me to be? I’d rather feel freedom than security Just feel like I need to get out of this cage And move onto the next stage You’ve got me googling Frank Ocean's Age Well written in these unchained ways I’ll lose my ties And leave another home behind Don’t compare yourself against other people you’re Special special, keep living living Don’t compare yourself against others whose eyes aren’t bright like Don’t compare yourself against other people you’re Special special, keep living living Don’t compare yourself against others whose eyes aren’t bright like yours

When it comes around it saves me When it comes around I gain control When it comes around I have a second chance Addicted to the cleansing Addicted to the restarting Addicted to, everything that breaks Stay strong stay bright Like lighthouses in the night Cuz I know, when it comes I will obliterate I still don’t know What I’m supposed to be doing Because I’m not supposed to be doing anything at all
6.
I used to be proud of you And all the things that we’ve been through Now I know things won't improve Until I lose you and move But it’s so hard to let go Always a reason to say no No real end in sight I need a place my soul feels right Waiting…for nothing Clean shoes boring life I met some girl now I’ve got a wife It really leaves me sore But you’re not my home anymore The things that we used to say Can’t believe I used to feel that way Never any lessons learnt Just another hundred bridges burnt Waiting…for something Leave here, your heart will find the sun In echoes of the better days Find the missing link Leave here, your heart will find the sun In echoes of the better days

about

Recorded at Brighton Electric, UK with Josh Harrison (The Cure, British Seapower, Blood Red Shoes) over a week in January 2019 and mastered by JJ Golden (Deerhunter, Ty Segall, Kurt Vile) the album was written in Amsterdam during a time of heartbreak for a person and an entire continent. The lyrics explore everything from the comfort of solitude to the nostalgia of something that's gone forever, from staying carefree and young at heart to envying people with careers.
