And in the end it doesn’t matter,
I’m left with a broken heart,
Everything feels heavy,
And I don’t know how to start,
Again

Run & Hide
03:02

I caught my reflection
In the bathroom mirror
In a house that isn't home
And a face that was unclear
I feel lost and scared
Like a little child
I had a home in you
For a little while
I had a home in you
For a little while
Choosing fight not flight isn't easy anymore
Because me myself and I
Is not enough this time
Choosing fight not flight isn't easy anymore
Because me myself and I
Is not enough this time
I feel like every inch of me is filled with sadness
Weighing down my bones
I'm trying to take it one breath at a time
But I keep choking
Choosing fight not flight isn't easy anymore
Because me myself and I
Is not enough this time
Choosing fight not flight isn't easy anymore
Because me myself and I
Is not enough this time
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
Run and hide
You can't win this time
Run and hide
You can't win this time
Run and hide
You can't win this time
Run and hide
You can't win this time
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
I'm not meant for fighting, I'd rather run and hide
I'm not meant for fighting, I'm not meant for fighting

My Next Cigarette Burn
03:34

You watched me age 19, bury my dad
And you asked for his permission to become my wife, the day before he died
And he’ll never know my next lover
No he’ll never know my next lover
No he’ll never know my next lover
Coffee and cigarettes back when I took part in neither
Too young to understand but look at me now
Pinot in a can in one hand, cigarette in the other
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you, lover
And I don’t want to deal with death
I don’t want to shake his hand anymore
'Cause he took you from me way too soon
And I don’t want to deal with death
When did you fall out of love
Do you remember the first time you looked at me
And didn’t feel anything
Did it happen overnight or did it slowly seep in
Coffee and cigarettes back when I took part in neither
Too young to truly understand but look at me now
Pinot in a can in one hand, cigarette in the other
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you, lover
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you, lover
Putting it out on my arm because that hurts less than you
They both left a scar, but it hurt less than you
And they both left a scar, but it hurt less than you
And they both left a scar, but it hurt less than you
And they both left a scar, but it hurt less than you

I’ve stopped eating again, I hope my heart gives in
And my body caves, because my mind has, my mind has seen better days
I try my best but I’m not cut out for this
Locked doors and hospital beds
Curtains drawn, like the end of a play
Struggling to reach the end of every day
Sleeping with the lights on
Won’t stop the demons in my head
Crawling out my ears
And out from underneath my bed
Sleeping with the lights on
Won’t stop the demons in my head
Crawling out my ears
And out from underneath my bed
I try my best but I'm not cut out for this
Locked doors and hospital beds
Curtains drawn, like the end of a play
Struggling to reach the end of every day
Of every day
Staring at the ceiling hoping it caves in
Counting dots on the tiles, trying to pass the time
I finally got dressed, it only took me 3 days
Staring at the ceiling hoping it caves in
Counting dots on the tiles, trying to pass the time
I finally got dressed, it only took me 3 days
Staring at the ceiling hoping it caves in
Counting dots on the tiles, trying to pass the time
I finally got dressed, I only took me 3 days
Staring at the ceiling hoping it caves in
Counting dots on the tiles, trying to pass the time
I finally got dressed, I only took me 3 days
And when you visit my grave, I hope you won’t feel sad
For it’s where I belong, buried six feet under ground
The Earth was too hard for the softness of my heart
I tried to keep it beating, but it had broken apart

I know you’ll bury me before my time,
I just can’t make this feel like worth my while
Maybe I’m being cynical
But between waiting lists and being dismissed
A crumbling NHS, and the pain in my head
I can’t find the light at the end of this
I can’t find the light at the end of this
I know you’ll bury me before my time,
I just can’t make this feel like worth my while
I know you’ll bury me before my time,
I just can’t make this feel like worth my while
I don’t think I’ll be okay
The pain in my chest feels critical
I don’t think I’ll make it through the day
The pain in my lungs feels critical
Maybe I’m being cynical
Maybe I’m being cynical
Maybe I’m being cynical
But between waiting lists and being dismissed
A crumbling NHS, and the pain in my head
I can’t find the light at the end of this
I can’t find the light at the end of this
I can’t find the light at the end of this
I can’t find the light at the end of this
Can’t find the light at the end of this
No I can’t find the light at the end of this
I can’t find the light at the end of this
I can’t find the light, I can’t find the light
Maybe I’m being cynical
Maybe I’m being cynical

And you’ll all sigh with relief
When I’m buried beneath your feet
You’ll all sigh with relief
And you’ll all sigh with relief
When I’m buried beneath your feet
You’ll all sigh with relief
Chipping away at time, slowly but with force behind
Making a sculpture of who I once was
I don’t think she lives in me anymore
But I’m desperately trying to get her back
But with every crack, what’s underneath is coming to light and it’s a darkness which I cannot fight
it’s a darkness which I cannot fight
you’ll all sigh with relief
When I’m buried down beneath your feet
you’ll all sigh with relief
you’ll all sigh with relief
When I’m buried down beneath your feet
you’ll all sigh with relief
Don’t visit me there, save your grief
For someone more deserving of it
More deserving of it
Don’t visit me in your dreams, save your sleep
For someone more deserving of it
More deserving of it
Don’t visit me there, save your grief
For someone more deserving of it
More deserving of it
Don’t visit me in your dreams, save your sleep
For someone more deserving of it
More deserving of it

I'll Die As I Lived
03:04

It’s not poetic I’m just in pain
And pen to paper for a little while stops the hurricane
But I can’t escape from me, the eye of the storm
My body is weathered, bruised and torn
My aching ribs can no longer protect my heart from the immeasurable pain
Ultimately I’ll die as I lived terrified and trapped in a cage
It’s not poetic I’m just in pain
And pen to paper for a little while stops the hurricane
But I can’t escape from me, the eye of the storm
My body is weathered, bruised and torn
Bruised and torn
My aching ribs can no longer protect my heart from the immeasurable pain
And ultimately I’ll die as I lived terrified and trapped in a cage
And ultimately I’ll die as I lived terrified and trapped in a cage
And ultimately I’ll die as I lived terrified and trapped in a cage
