I got stamina when my legs grew cold
Frozen from the lakes that surrounded us
They needed a body to hold, wasn't ready for two
I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you
I don't need violins, don't need the gunfire
Not a sine or a designated driver
I'm staring at the bottom of that
Standing a million miles away
A million years too captive in late
Too elastic for it to be okay.

By ignoring death
I'll immortalise myself
And those nearing the polar opposite of what I want
For my never ending world.

Battle scars will be healed
With principals spanning from
I want you to be at peace
And why should we die
We weren't born for blackness.

Even if I accept it
I don't want it
I think I just realised why I hate escape rooms because this one doesn't have an exit door.

By ignoring death
I'll immortalise life
As if we won't blow up in a billion years, even reincarnation
It won't soften the carnage.
I wrote this in the bus station

Narcissism reached its peak
Years of climbing
Dodging rocks
It's at the age I should've understood
But your empathy's in stasis
If you didn't wanna pay, you shouldn't have had a kid, man
So sorry for existing,
For eating you out of pocket
Wrecking my voice,
Crying too easily
The narcissism goes on
The light of gas is strongĀ 
And I'm running out of breath
I'm really running out of breath.

As from today, I don't have a heart of stone
In fact I never hated you, in fact I loved you
But I have a tendency to act otherwise
Especially when you make me so nervous
Said heart knots itself into a stony oblivion
Stands still through my isolated affection
I promise it's being knocked down any day now
Even if I don't see how, I've loved you throughout
The healing, the building of something new
Throughout the zoysia it's always been you

Don't let me stand on your shoulders.
I've got two left feet but I can do pirouettes around you
And your financial stability, home and office job.

I'm only 5'2 but there's altitude in my ambitions
Far as it may be, I want what you have and more.
I went from auburn to Hepburn, my clubbing nights are scarce but each piano in London knows me

Like a young woman knows the fun and the hard work to be had in life.
It's simpler than you make me out to be
Mice aren't stupid and nice isn't polluted
I just like gentleness.

I don't like being talked down to by broader shoulders.
From feet on the right way to security when I can do orbits of verve's and souvenirs
I am a clammed Pearl, true blue
I am a woman just like you.

Stay away from her
she's up and down
antagonistic roundabout
No wonder her girlfriend split
there's something not batting
from her eyes of rouge

Armageddon in vintage clothes
She's thousands of years old
I wipe the soldiers blood from my dead skin, she doesn't know
The centuries of good I gave
To a future of being craved

That's all I ask for
Want nothing much
But here she is still
Making me blush
I'm made of stone, I'm not moving
Ever, ever, ever

I want to sleep in my dress tonight
Because I don't want to forget you.
You gave me love while I was blacked out and like a true voyager, ripped the leopard print.
Stuff it in the car
Bring it from the Zermatt mountains
Take it back to the dressing room to re-sew the hem and kiss me where it should be

I want to wake up heavy headed
From a night of running into your arms, running from reality.
Running out into the world, running to find a purpose
And I'm pretty sure my purpose was to fall in love
fall out
and fall back in it once I saw aurora fall from the house lights into violet onto you

I want it to be October forever
Because I don't want to forget you.
You gave me spring while it was doomsday and like a true endeavour, it got me terribly lost.
Drive me home
When being sober gets too much
Crash into the violet reflected in my eyes to mend the goodbye before it's said.

I want you to draw blood to the rio grande to say you won't forget me,
Dance me to death
Revive the parts of me I don't want dead anymore
I'm a bomb in retrograde, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy anywhere
Wherever you are
I'll fall into violet, onto you.
