Don't Look Down

Disrobe the king
The one we killed
We won't be coming home
We hold the past in our arms so tight
Destroy our old selves, fight or flight
As we climb so high, bury in the ground
We won't look down, no
Don't look down, no

I'm tested like a weathered flag that's by the sea
Once again, stealing the sentiments of another man
I walk a mile with her hand in my pocket
A stone held in my shoe
It didn't take long for me to catch on
It was a dream I was walking through
The words escape me, been on hold lately
Strings slowly gather dust
It didn't take long for me to catch on
Someone else said enough
I can't fight the weather
With your hand in my pocket
I'll always come back to you
Music and lyrics, hate that I fear it
Peripheral noise imbued
With murmurs of sin as the tide rushes in
And the heat of the sun does burn
A change of the wind as your heart's covering
I'll say something asinine
They all agree this will never be bliss
I'll write their lines into mine
I can't fight the weather
With your hand in my pocket
I'll find my way back to you
Take what you're given
I'm so sick of living
I always come back to you
Pick me up where I've been going wrong
Pick me up where I've been going wrong
Break me to pieces
Tell me you need me
Read in between this

King Of It All

I spend my time trying to fix me
And trying to not fall apart again
Top of my game
Up on the stage
With blind eyes
Don't tell me I can make it
If you know it's a lie
Hold me tight and never let me go
Your hands around my throat
Just keep me in a choke hold
A quick six seconds of a love you'll never give
I'm plagiarising this
I can't think for myself no more
My time has been wasted
Following the wrong path
Don't trust the white rabbit
He leads you away but never takes you back
Don't trip up backwards, your skull might crack
Nobody wants that
What's so wrong with falling off the pedestal?
Everything you built it for
Is running down your leg
I'll crash at 23 with the golden years behind me
I grit my teeth
I don't mean to deceive
There's nothing up my sleeve
My magician is clean
Is this the only way back to the castle?
The throne is gone
Is this the only way back to the castle?
Admit my faults
I thought that I was king of it all
If only just a little bit
I was king of it all

I'm seeing red
No harm incited, just a lustful sight, my iridescent friend
I'm lost in your eyes again
Orange sunset
Inside this mess of a bed we've made
Lost track of the day
Intertwined all night
Wearing nothing but a smile
It's fire
Wrap around a little tighter
This is something I could get used to
I'm tired but it's taking me higher
I want you
I'm feeling blue
I trust in you but can I take the pain that you put me through?
Coming across aloof
You pull no punch as we reach the night
We know it's greener on the other side
I want you, why must you torture me? Baby, please
"Close your eyes, it's warming up"
You whisper as we fall in love
It's fire
Wrap around a little tighter
This is something I could get used to
I'm tired but it's taking me higher
I want you
It's fire
Blood on your lip
Is it a drop of yours? Is it a drop of mine?
I'm tired, making me work for a living
Resent the passing time
Read the room, all red tape removed
Your prurient curiosity wanting proof
Of wanton behaviour, you can't be sure
Concluding an anarchic epicure
As peaceful in silence or petrichor
Until carnal desire reaps from the core
What courses through veins from contusions and shatters
A tongue so sharp yet smooth when it matters
Oh please, oh please
Oh torture me

Life’s Not Perfect

(Tenderfoot Cover)
I don't know if this is gonna work out
Today is a day surely few would doubt
Seen some things in my time
I suppose I'll know what's right
I see my friend’s face on the wall
Reminds me of times that I had before
The cycle of life it goes round and round
Sometimes turns me upside down
I wanna be free but I don’t know how
Wanna give my love and have you come back around
It’s not your fault and it’s not mine
And I’m begging you to stay but I’m letting you go
Life's not perfect
My music it seems is all I have
At least it’s love will never treat me bad
It doesn't accuse me of things I've not done
It keeps me warm all those nights I’m alone
It’s my craft that makes this so hard to crack
If I’m sure of one thing yeah I’m sure it’s that
On my pedestal one day the gutter the next
And all you can do is do your best
And put your faith in what’s coming
I wanna be free but I don’t know how
Wanna give my love and have you come back around
I wanna be me and for that to be enough
No I don’t wanna be half the man I was
Oh I want her to be happy and have everything she needs
We've both tried our best we've landed on our knees
It’s not her fault and it’s not mine
And I’m begging you to stay but I’m letting you go
Life's not perfect
