Yawning 03:02
I wake up in the morning half asleep and I'm yawning And a feeling is dawning that I must get up And ugh!
3.
I wanna get my license I've really really wanted to die since the buses stopped I could wait all day but the buses stopped at nine I wanna get real high soon It's nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, let's get fucked up I could smoke all day but I'd better not, that's fine Everything's okay, not exactly easy But everything's okay, I'm just fine Everything's okay, not exactly easy But everything's okay, I'll drink wine I wanna make some money Cause being this poor just isn't funny, it's gotta stop I could work all day but I'd rather not that's fine I wanna make my life good I'm sick of spending time in this neighbourhood, it's all messed up I'd like to find my way but this city's just not mine Everything's okay, not exactly easy But everything's okay, I'm just fine Everything's okay, not exactly easy But everything's okay, I'll drink wine

"Friends" 02:27
You always watched me failing Across the room I followed you to You couldn't possibly call this "friendship" Not even in quotation marks You couldn't possibly understand it Not even if you felt the spark
6.
On You 02:22
When I'm closing my eyes or I'm looking up into the sky There is just only one single thing I can think of at night Of you I'm surrounded by people I don't understand In a backstreet in Blackheath that I don't recognise But I think that beanie looks quite nice on you And I think that beanie looks quite nice on you On you

Fallaway 01:15
It's my fault ultimately that I'm away
8.
Easy 02:44
It must be easy to be perfect Even easier to overprotect You went and got the hurt checked Found it easiest to disconnect Must be easy for an addict To tell the truth and still be incorrect Time to hole away and inject To find the truth and the desired effect Win some, lose some Winsome loser Win some with some ganj' It must be easy to be pretty And even easier to disagree Can't write lyrics, I'm not witty I can't write songs disabled lyrically Win some, lose some Winsome loser Win some with some ganj'
9.
Oh, My Hun 02:32
Red sun unravels You rest on your travels to hole up for winter too Hiding away and the times you would fake it I'd try but I'll break it I've tried but mistakes made me hole up for winter too Oh, my hun
10.
Lament 02:37
I'm not super happy But I've never been incredibly sad, so it's fair I guess it's my fault that I thought we'd last a long time

Nonetitled 01:06
12.
Warm 02:29
Growing in your shadow now, all the seeds are shallow Gravity pins us down, and all the leaves will follow I don't need an arrow now, all the deeds are hollow Weighed down by a bitter doubt, butterflies all fluttered out And I couldn't be the man, and I wouldn't be a man But won't you be warm?
13.
Spectral 03:18
How do you find me while I'm sleeping How'd you remind me why I'm grieving Since I found you in our old house It's like a race, I wish I could erase you It's like a dream, and I wish I would wake up "To die will be an awfully big adventure"
14.
Found 00:44
15.
The Way 03:51
Along the way I found it hard to say That on our way We chased the fun away
16.
Good. Bye! 03:42
From the start you tore out a part of me I should have been the one to leave

About stuff that happened ages ago, it took too long to finish this.

Special thanks to Simone for helping to get this started in the first place, and a very special thanks to Billy for being a best friend and advisor for everything I do.
Thanks also to our friends Nikil (Akin Ritual), Gerrad (Buck You Out), Kal, Jack, Jacob, Laura, Shannon, my darling Dave from Canberra, and others for supporting the album and contributing ideas, criticisms, and guidance. It would sound terrible without you.
Big thanks to mum and dad because I wouldn't be able to make music without a body and life. Thanks for my body and life.
Thanks to the muse who inspired the album.
Also David, even though you had nothing to do with the album whatsoever, I feel like I leave you out too often. So thanks, David.
And of course, you. Thanks for listening, or even just reading this.
