University
what a blip on the radar
an eternity
bottled into three years
Oh what a privilege problem
having to worry bout your GPA
Oh what a privilege problem
having to write a few essays
yeah that’s alright with me
it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
yeah that’s alright with me
University
thanks for all of the friends
who are just as smart as me
likely even smarter
Oh what a privilege problem
learning how to become lonely
Oh what a privilege problem
if only all of this were true
but that’s alright with me
it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
yeah that’s alright with me
but that’s alright with me
it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
yeah that’s alright with me

You've Come Too Far
03:11
|

I’m used to failure
I’m used to being a victim of my
own internal dialogue
of my own ephemeral monologue
Don’t let it get to you
you’ve come too far to give into it
you’ve come too far to give into it
I’m used to danger
I’m used to wincing while passing other
cars on the freeway
usually at the end of the day
Don’t let it get to you
you’ve come too far to give into it
you’ve come too far to give into it
I watch the road
and all of the cars pass
I watch the road
the same way
Don’t let it get to you
you’ve come too far to give into it
you’ve come too far to give into it

No Other Way to Put It

I return to Australia
just in time to feel like I made the right choice
cos what we had was truly unique
prematurely cut short
and there’s no other way to put it
and there’s no other way to put it
For too long this heartache was
manufactured
cos whenever I think of you
it’s isn’t longing, there isn’t anything missing here
and there’s no other way to put it
and there’s no other way to put it
Now that a year has passed
I feel a little temperate
you’d think by now I’d have a few regrets
or something to say about what we
used to be in Bethnal Green I
Revise
everything I’ve already made
Revise
that is all that will remain

Passing Over
03:53
|

|
It’s perfectly normal to consider how you
haven’t perished already
I don’t mean that as an ultimatum
to satiate preoccupation I’ve accepted my fate
to have a good time while the time flies
to have a good time what my conscience deliberates
cos I sleep well when I don’t think about
all of the time I could have been
seriously injured
I don’t recall how it started my obsession with death
an epiphany that it’s all finite
forever ago
to satiate preoccupation
I’ve accepted my fate
to have a good time while the time flies
to have a good time while your conscience deteriorates
cos I sleep well when I don’t think about
all of the time I could have been
seriously injured
my body would have been crushed
right in my blind spot
right in my blind spot
it
replays
almost
every night
almost
every night

A Word for Toxic
06:16
|
|||
|
Are you un-moving?
Holding me back…
what words are toxic
eventually you get sick
eventually
eventually you get sick
mistakes have been made
there’s so much more of where all that came
I created something that I can be proud
like how I try to realise on the fly
on the fly
on the fly
you are more than what’s happened to you
you are more than what’s happened to you
when words are freezing
eventually you thaw out
eventually
eventually you thaw out
there’s an escape
and you have made it all this way
I’m proud to design a thing I can be
kinda proud of…
kinda proud of…
if no one likes it
that’s not the reason I made it
I made it to pass the time
I made it to pass the time
I made it to pass the time

Felicity

you gotta take stock
when all your cards are on the table
the daily grind I disagree
it isn’t arduous
it’s necessary I
the days are the best part
the evenings are for rest
when I look out my fly-screen all I can see are palm trees

Grow Apart
05:04
|
|||
|
For a while we were aligned
for a couple of years I guess
This is what occurs when our decisions dictate our ends
I’m quiet more often at the end of our conversations
I’m quiet more often and I’m fill of deliberation
In the meantime I appear to flourish
when it’s my choice to nourish
a locus of control
a locus of control
I’m quiet more often at the end of an invitation
I’m quiet more often and I’m full of deliberation
Grow apart
well it’s a start
and is this true?
Grow apart
this is my only issue…
We’ve nothing in common no more
nothing in common no more
nothing in common no more
nothing in common no more
nothing in common no more
nothing in common...

You don’t have to be on all the time
you don’t have to be on all the time
all of the time
You don’t have to work all of the time
you don’t have to work all of the time
all of the time
you don’t have to be on all the time
you don’t have to work all of the time
all of the time
