Best of Me
02:49

I’ll get a little bit high
And then I’ll float away
The days pass me by
I thought I heard you say
You’re doing fine without me
And that’s okay
I’m doing great without you
If great means passing out
On the couch
In my underwear
With my dick hanging out
My eyes are bloodshot but
I can see
This gets the best of me
But you and me
I think we will be
We'll be just fine
Forfeit and call it quits
I beg you
Your love gives me the shits
I don’t get you
My temper tantrums and your fits
I think I love you
My eyes are bloodshot but
I can see
This gets the best of me
You and me
I think we will be
We'll be just fine
As long as your mine
As long as your mine
Hold on
It’s gonna be a bumpy ride
If you think my heart is shit
Wait til you get inside
My eyes are bloodshot but
I can see
This gets the best of me
You and me
I think we will be
We'll be just fine
As long as your mine

Across Oceans

We gotta unite and fight
This common enemy
Ignite to find
A temporary remedy
Somewhere someone we know
In company but so alone
Stuck in lockdown in a place
Can’t call their home
Environment saturated with fear
Bruised cheeks caressed by tears
Overlooked and unthought bof to hear
Thy neighbour will not bat an eye
To any blood curdling cries
Why won’t you feed each other
Look out for one anothers lives
Don’t let human compassion die
For all my sisters and my brothers
Something came from across the ocean
Sailing our way, faster motion
Than anything we’ve seen before
Waiting for answers or a potion
In tidal waves of raw emotion
Now the shipment’s reached our door
I’m telling you
We gotta unite and fight
The common enemy
Ignite to find
A temporary remedy
The death toll rises up
But our spirits are still high
Morale will never be low
We’re a worldwide neighbourhood
In resistance and love
Because one thing we know
I’ve still got faith in all of us
You can’t take that away from me,
We’ll rise and let you see
We’re not made of paper
We’re one in solidarity
This is humanity
Something came from across the ocean
Sailing our way, faster motion
Than anything we’ve seen before
Waiting for answers or a potion
In tidal waves of raw emotion
Now this shipment’s reached our door
This viral infection’s got me questioning
The structures we live in,
Capitalism’s dysfunction,
We’re failed by the hands that have fed us shit
Bite back
Fight back
Time to overthrow
Your system’s
Inefficient
Now everyone knows
Bite back
Fight back
It’s time to overthrow
Your system’s
Inefficient
Now everyone knows

Never Too Late
02:49

So much time to waste
I think I’ll contemplate
Or be consumed by hate
Maybe just masturbate all the time
I'm so bored, come on, gimme some more
I’m always down, you know I’m always in the mood to score
On the floor, so raw, please give me some more
We’re gonna fuck each other up and turn love into war
You see, it’s never too late,
Never too late to show it
Your body talks rhythm to me
Like a dirty poet
Sickness in my head
I let it out the best way I can
I’m gonna show you
Just how close to death
I’m willing to go
Coz that edge of the cliff’s
Something I know too well
Come on, fight me
Hit me with the best you can
I promise I can take it
Oh, bite me, you will never be what I am
And you will never break this
You’re too easy
Give a challenge fit for a man
It suits you better
You’re too sleazy
Be a bit more perfect than that
I’m just teasing
You know I like you just like that
I like you just like that
You know I like you just like that
I like you just like that
Fuck each other up and turn love into war
You see, it’s never too late,
Never too late to show it
Your body talks rhythm to me
Like a dirty poet
Sickness in my head
I let it out the best way I can
I’m gonna show you
Just how close to death
I’m willing to go
Coz that edge of the cliff’s
Something I know too well
How close to death
Am I willing to go
That edge of the cliff’s
Something I know too well

Pulling Me Under
02:16
|

Follow me
Let’s take a walk on the outside
Can’t go too far but we can try
To imagine what it’s like
See our hands still intertwine
Living connected but separate lives
In our self-built hells that are our minds
You better believe it when you see it
I’m coming back home to you
I said I'm coming back
After all this is over
There will be no weight pulling me under
I hope you know
I’m coming back home to you
Without you, I’m too sober
Fresh clean slate, start over
So now I’m coming back home to you
Wait for me
Alone but together in this, apart
Holding on from a distance to your heart
I’m slipping, don’t let go of me
I’ve been trying to hold onto some kind of hope
To remind myself what I still know
The reality I see cracks right in front of me
If the earth opens up to swallow us
I hope it takes me first
So I can wait in the core of it all for you
And I will not break this
I will not fail
I will not lose you
I will never let you down again
I will never let you down again
