bloom I 04:08
Just leave me here Just leave me hurt and broken To bloom. To bloom. I can’t stay here So leave me hurt and broken To bloom. To bloom. God bless the filth and the mess that I’m living in I can feel it in my skin I’m gonna let it in All my walls are gonna fall and it’s gonna trap me in And I can’t see the sun It’s blocking out my vision Because shit It never seems to fit But I’m buying into it Each and every single word puts me deeper in this pit And I can’t see the sun It’s blocking out my vision Let’s go! Because now I want it fucking now I feel a fucking mess can’t express all that stress that just keeps me on the ground And I can’t see the sun I can’t see the sun I can’t see the sun, sun, sun, sun! Because I don’t like What’s in my mind And years go by but through the gloom, This year we bloom. We bloom. Right here, right now, we bloom.

New nostalgia is gonna be the end of me It’s all patented shit as far as I can see Alright, alright Feel the weight as I ride another metaphor I can’t wait to be everything I hate and more Alright, alright There is no love, there is no rest It aint poetic, it’s depressed Nothing is new, now everything’s free We got nothing planned, the ground where I stand It means nothing to me, nothing to me Nothing is new Treat your children as if they are the enemy Dream of home and pretend it’s still the seventies Alright, alright There is no love, there is no rest It aint poetic, it’s depressed Nothing is new, now everything’s free We got nothing planned, the ground where I stand It means nothing to me, nothing to me Nothing is new, now everything’s free We got nothing planned, the ground where I stand It means nothing to me, nothing to me Nothing

See me at the Ibis Budget Business must be done I have an ethernet connection And a view of P4 loading bay Drinking at the Ibis Budget Dickheads on the run I’ll order Uber Eats, coz life is sweet And it’s all gonna be ok! Live the dream Life is cream Live the dream Live it! Let’s go to the Ibis Budget Time to turn it up I doused myself in premium cologne At Schiphol Airport duty free Kick it at the Ibis Budget Nothing is enough I’ll wear my brand-new shirt from M&S Coz that’s how much you mean to me (Excuse me, excuse me I’m trying to conduct a meeting in here! I’m on a zoom!)

MANIFESTO. 04:33
I wanna be with anyone but you It’s true, it’s true My manifesto detests all the things that you do My manifesto is powered by intel Reared by love in a factory farm It’s the ultimate plan, it’s expressing my brand It’s the privileged dirge of a hetero cis white man I give it all for the song of the summer I tip my hat to the man in the street Coz we’re feeling the love and we’re innocent of All the toxicity that you’re ladling on The toxicity that you’re ladling on yeah! I wanna be with anyone but you It’s true, it’s true My manifesto detests all the things that you do I raise my glass to the boys down the bank, yeah I think they’re worth every penny we paid Coz they ripped of your mom so that they could have fun And they spent all her savings on synthetic fun, yeah I don’t just hate you coz you are a tory I mainly hate you coz you are a cunt With your passion for cash you’re enabling fascists You’re pure LinkedIn trash and your patter is wank You’re pure LinkedIn trash and your banter is wank mate I wanna be with anyone but you It’s true, it’s true My manifesto detests all the things that you do So come with me we’ll tear this town in two It’s true, it’s true My manifesto detests all the things that you do Right I want to bleed, I want to seize all of your energy It’s free, I can’t believe that all this sleaze it means so much to me My head is pounding I can’t stop it Screaming feeds and I can’t block it Push it down and triple lock it Amateurs can fucking suck it Fire. The fire. Is coming after me I say The truth, the truth Can only set me free you know And I don’t know what’s going on Just little boys and racist scum They’re on their knees and playing dumb Fellating Jordan Peterson The fire, the fire Is all you really need you see The youth. The youth. Are gonna set me free, you know So state the truth, block out the cunts Shapiro, Rogan, Donald Trump Destroy the racists, burn their toys And pave the way for revolution

Therapy 03:31
I’m wide awake, I can’t get no fucking sleep I’m doing circuits of the kitchen to the soundtrack of the street I taste the whiskey on my breath, know it’s half the battle yeah I don’t have any motivation to change Are you awake, because I love the things you said Are you thinking what I’m thinking in somebody else’s bed I know it’s getting pretty late, I know we’re both not thinking straight We don’t have any motivation to change Am I my therapist on an out of body high Feeling overstretched and underworked but grieving nine til five No, I’m a pessimist with an existential vibe But it’s all wrong, we’ll carry on Just check my pulse and grieve forever Grieve forever This indecision makes me sickened to the core Leaves you screaming at the fixtures while I’m staring at the floor You taste the whiskey on my breath, know it’s half the battle yeah I don’t have any motivation to change So pull me close and say it’s gonna be alright Let me bleed into your bedsheets, let me scream into the night ‘Cause all the saints are coming in, and they don’t know a goddamn thing Except that everybody else is to blame Am I my therapist on an out of body high Feeling overstretched and underworked but grieving nine til five No, I’m a pessimist with an existential vibe But it’s all wrong, we’ll carry on Just check my pulse and grieve forever Grieve forever

Bridges 04:04
If lying twenty times a day Makes me happy, lie away It stops me chipping at my soul Til it cracks and it crumbles Hey there man you should come in Can I get you anything? I leave my baggage round the back Do you take your coffee black? I leave my conscience at the door I need everything I got. I need everything I got But I fell and hit the floor Can’t hear you calling any more No more Yeah! The shame is growing day by day Makes me all but fade away Shutting down my closest friends Ah, what was my name again? I leave my conscience at the door I need everything I got. I need everything I got But I fell and hit the floor Can’t hear you calling any more No more I leave my conscience at the door I need everything I got. I need everything I got As I feel through empty space I burned a bridge I can’t replace

Here I sit, head in my bleeding hands Drinking wine and burning all my plans Because you see They weren’t for me They were for him So pack it in And although doors will one day open It don’t even matter anyway It’s far too late, it’s far too late And five years from this very day I’ll catch your eye and I will look away I’ll look away Here I sit heart beating in my chest Wanting more but finding something less So it begins Lungs caving in Drink from the cup You fucked it up And although doors will one day open It don’t even matter anyway It’s far too late, it’s far too late And five years from this very day I’ll catch your eye and I will look away I’ll look away Let’s go! I felt your body shaking I felt your soul escaping I felt the city quake My fragile bones are gonna break so I felt your body shaking I felt your soul escaping I felt the city quake My fragile bones are gonna break yeah And although doors will one day open It don’t even matter anyway It’s far too late, it’s far too late And five years from this very day I’ll catch your eye and I will look away I’ll look away I’ll look away I’ll look away Relax, it’s gonna be alright I watched the city burn but made it through the night Relax, it’s gonna be okay My heads a fucking mess and I can’t find the words to say I’ll say relax ‘Cause you’re the only thing that’s good How is it right that there’s a light to guide me through these woods And you’re the only thing that’s true Your body turns to fertile soil And teach me how to bloom. We bloom.

We are young, we are dumb We’re getting fuck all useful done And that’s fine You’re mine Don’t know how I should begin But snow is falling on your skin And that’s fine You’re mine And there’s no one in this life That I would rather write A paragraph or two About the way I feel for you And while I stay up drinking It just got me thinking we should Stay inside and watch the world fall to a million pieces Stay inside and let the cities burn and do nothing at all We are young, can’t you see The convoluted fantasies well they’re fine? You’re mine Rent is high and hopes are low We got nowhere that we can go And that’s fine You’re mine And with deadlines closing in I'll take it on the chin And say they’re out of luck ‘Cause I just don’t give a fuck And while I stay out drinking It just got me thinking we should Stay inside and watch the world fall to a million pieces Stay inside and let the cities burn and do nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Sing your song of millennial love for me ‘Cause we are young And we are free And we will bloom Because I bleed
