Ghosts

I didn't think I would miss being single.
Fuck.

Heavier Things

I called because I just need to feel you on the line.
Don't hang up this time.

But it's just a line.
A silly old line,
That can be cut with a simple pair of scissors.
And it seems to me, that I'm no longer using scissors
To cut your lies anymore.


-Oedipus

All Over

'We share the same sadness.
Split screen sadness.'

I didn't think it'd work like this.
Then again, I didn't think.

Cobra

'Girl I've been all over the world
Looking for you.
And if you listen, you can hear me through the radio
In that bright, white noise.
What I've been missing in my life,
What I've been dreaming of,
You'd be that girl,
You're that girl.'


-Oedipus

Little Whites

Me?

Well I'm happy.
And everything's okay.
Just give me a minute to compose myself.

But then again,
I've never been known to lie.
Huh, funny you probably won't pick it up.
I guess I'm just good at that stuff.


-Oedipus

Eight

'The truth will set you free.'

Apparently.
But the only thing that will be set free,
Will be my truths.

Not that I've ever really thought about a price to put on them.


-Oedipus

Bones

'I'd do anything just to feel my toes.'

It's funny, when we think that this is everything we know.
And when we come to the end, we realise we weren't even scratching the surface.
There is so much to do
To see
To feel and hear.

And some days it overwhelms me,
Giving me a pain in my chest that I'm struggling to escape from.
An escape, I would love you to come
An escape forever, would be what I need.

But I'm just not ready to go to another world
I'm not ready to be alone.
I'm not ready for a lot of things
But the more I wait, the more time I waste.


-Oedipus

Gandalf

I just want everything to be okay.

Gas Station

'Woke up this morning, smelt breakfast in the air
Hopped in the shower,
Would have got dressed,
But I undressed my girl instead.'


If I met you and I was single
We probably could have been something more
Because you're beautiful.
But you should know,
That I found the one
And I love them so I gotta go.


-Oedipus

3x5

'Leave the light on for me,
I'll never give up on you.'

There are a million things that I've forgotten.
I wish some things would stay forgotten.
This confusion is driving me insane.

Technicolour

'I like saturdays and the rocket summer,
Blue skies and the morning's air'

Bloomington.
You got me.
Even though it was half shit.
But so, so good.

Bullets

'Could it be the little wrinkle over your nose
When you make your angry face,
That makes me wanna just take off all your clothes
And sex you all over the place?'


-Oedipus


Salad

They say it's a song about the first clone.
This song makes me shiver.

I wonder, to be someone created in a way very different to everyone else.
To be the only one.
The first one.
This is something I can't explain
And I keep seeing the same landscape form in my head.

It asks me to walk it,
But I know no one's there.
But you keep appearing,
And now I'm thinking
That maybe tomorrow
I'll go there.

But tomorrow is always tomorrow
It taunts me,
Like your voice does.
You've asked me to do it before
But I find myself still too weak
Too scared
To say yes.
But I want to.


-Oedipus
