Pretend to Be
03:50

I want you to stay while I feel alone
And I want to scream the most insane thoughts
Contemporary sin, run down and mean
Moving further from the in-between
Until you got a job in the CBD
Not too far but pretty far from me
I tried to move, but I couldn’t stand
A pair of strangers in familiar land
Are you doing fine?
Pretend to be
It’s just a sign of the times
Why can’t I look you in the eye when I catch you at the back of a party?
Pretending your fine
Gin in your wine, tell me all your lies
Like I’m good and you’re good and we know it
I want to see change, I want to see more
I’m fed up with cheating my most inner thoughts
In different ways, I’ve made my bed
If the shoes fit I should sleep in them
I’m trying to fight it, don’t get me wrong
There’s more meaning in holding on
Than we could’ve known, into the light
Moving on and upwards tonight
It’s just a sign of the times
Why can’t I look you in the eye when I catch you at the back of a party?
Pretending your fine
Gin in your wine, tell me all your lies
Like I’m good and you’re good and we know it’s a sign of the times
Are you doing fine?
Pretend to be alright
It’s a sign of the times
Why can’t I look you in the eye when I catch you at the back of a party?
Pretending your fine
Gin in your win, tell me all your lies
Like I’m good and you’re good and we know it’s a sign of the times

Everything is Happening

I wish that I knew you
And picked up the know how
To sink into something
Any day now
I’ll act myself a winner
A would be for living
Cutting across to
The punches you’re pulling
Promise me I’m ever changing
Making moves
Hey, I can’t take the weight
Of knowing my autonomy
Is all that’s in the way
It gives me the shakes
The sight of myself rattles me
Everything is happening
Lately I’ve seen you
In people and places
The light on my windscreen
You still rule the Westgate
I pull all the stops out
Lay down the rubber
Like that’s what you wanted
I’ll go back and get her
Honesty’s debilitating
Breaking through
Hey, I can’t take the weight
Of knowing what’s inside of me
Is all that’s in the way
It keeps me awake
Tonight the lights are flattering
Everything is happening
I feel it now, I’ll tear it out
Before it ties me down
I’m through it now, I’m stepping out
Of all that’s in the way
My heart palpitates
Tonight’s the night I’m out of here
Everything is happening
Burning thru the atmosphere
Everything is happening

Wasted Light
03:27
|

|
Sudden changes hit hard
Hurricane still at large
Yeah you’re driving up and down on the borderline in your beaten up car
Just a cavernous space
Endless days upon days
You’ve been dredging through the dust for a memory of intangible grace
But you’ll find there’s something in the way
I’ve been there
Just waiting for the summer to end
In this wasted light
Yeah you can’t fight the feeling
But I’ll be here
Holding on to nothing again
And we’re wasting time
Scrub your morning away
Watch it circle the drain
There’s no shame or regret in anything you can’t feel in the first place
Between the redgum and the shed
Tip your glass over your head
Does it make you think that you’re a martyr for those you’ve never met?
But you’ll find there’s something in the way
And I’ve been there
Waiting for the summer to end
In this wasted light
You can’t fight the feeling
That I’ll be here
Holding on to nothing again
And we’re wasting time
With no rhyme or reason
Slowly fading
There’s no point in fighting what you can’t change

Heavy Hitter
02:55
|

I looked away, not before I fell into bad habits
Hesitate in the mess we made
Underneath a golden glow
Sugar rain, just the sweetest taste
Chew it up to spit it out
Your legs off the edge
Pick up on me, you are I guess
Everything will come to hand
This is it
Do I run back to love?
Take me in
You’re a heavy hitter
Give it away, not before I tear back to bad habits
Good game, hey I’ll take the cake
And down it in a minute
Rubbing off on me you are I guess
Tell me I’m you’re little man
This is it
Do I run back to love?
Take me in
You’re a heavy hitter
I don’t wanna fix your broken parts anymore
Say you want me while I’m sleeping
Pick my teeth off the floor
This is it
Do I run back to love?
Take me in
You’re a heavy hitter

Sleepin' In
03:59
|

All day straining out on the runway
Holding out, stacking cash on the nail
Well I blew it across the Rockies
I’m still waiting on the payoff
All time lazing away every Saturday
Bundy bottles hanging upside down
She used to drive me thru the Riverina rain
Now I fork out and catch the CountryLink
I can’t do sleeping in
I can’t do running
Go by
Try count the cars go barreling by
Daytime nine
I wish somebody would just see me out
Maybe that’s the humdrum of life
All night feigning I wanna fade away
It’s not cool to care, too hard to try
I feel alive when I leave that joint
Cold headaches, I say I’m never staying late again oh no
And man it makes me think
I’m missing everything
Go by
Try count the cars go barreling by
Daytime time
I wish somebody would just see me out
Maybe that’s the humdrum of life
I started chain-smoking Riverstone
Started rolling up my own
I started trying to let go
Strike a match, watch it glow
Oh well
I can’t do sleeping in

Good for you
Picking yourself up
Electric blue
Making a move for no one
Guess it all works out in the end
It’ll all turn out in the end
Hey it’s better chasing love than facing love and loss again
I’m out here riding the wind
Flying high tonight, running off the love you gave
A little closer now
To the face of the small hours
Nowhere to turn wrong
Sucking freeway smoke
Until it all works out in the end
It’ll all turn out in the end
Hey it’s better chasing love than facing love and loss again
Everything in it to win
Flying high tonight, lazy in the love
Chasing love and loss
Move thru the dust
Falling in and out of love again
Chasing love and loss
Like it’s what we want, to be
Falling in and out of love again
Falling in and out of love’s a drag
Hey it’s better chasing love than waiting for this one to end
We’re outside riding the wind
Flying high tonight, moving on

Bury Me in the Rain
03:59

Mildew morning, air so heavy
Bury me in the rain
Friends I’m losing, flecks of ceiling
Blanket me in rain
Humble homes line the streets of Jericho
Daylight opens up her hands
Life out of reach
I'm a dog on a chain link lead
Burying the rain
Memories falling, dirty diamonds
Bury me in the rain
Spot fires, permanent sirens
Cling to me like cellophane
Beat up cars fry the webs off Yathella
Crazy colours run so dim
Do me good
Oh man I wish they would
Bury me in rain
I’m coming to in the early afternoon
This silly seasons gone too long
I’m waiting for change
Forever in my own way
Bury me in the rain
