So here we are again What would I do without my friends? So busy ticking boxes, I forgot what true love is Unconditional, freely given I know I don't say it enough But I'm not very good with this stuff I'm afraid that the more that I repeat it The word just loses its meaning I hope you know and you feel it That you're the reason I'm breathing And I'm not really scared anymore So here we are again Let's crash this party And pretend that we belong here The dancing's out of hand I think we've had a bit too much If we're lucky they'll join in Otherwise we don't need them Because I know that we'll do this again And I hope that the more that we repeat it The more I'll start to believe it I hope you know and you feel it That you're the reason I'm breathing And I'm not really scared anymore So here we are again What would I do without my friends?

It's very very cold and it stings Like a porcupine is giving me a hug I would welcome the affection Because I'm lonely and I gave away my pug Okay, it was less of a giveaway And more of an abduction I'm not upset, okay I'm upset And I don't know how to function anymore It's very very late and I'm exhausted Because I just beat a man to death The silver lining is: he deserved it And the pug is doing well Okay, I think the pug tried to run away It wasn't an abduction And there's a chance The man was employed by the RSPCA It was an honest mistake And I would never risk my baby's life So if a man has to die in the process Then that's a price I'm willing to pay So ladies and gents, I plead self-defence Your honour I urge you to please reconsider How could you resist that cute little face?

You don't have to pretend that You were falling asleep on my shoulder And I don't see any other For you are the beauty and I the beholder So don't get me wrong It's nice to be somebody to lean on But it's not enough I need your touch I'm not asking for much You're such a tease You can't be pleased I'm begging on my knees Orlando, nobody could love you As I do Orlando, come closer I promise not to hurt you A drop of you and my skin collide You graced my lips with the taste of the ocean This thirst can no longer be denied I wish I could settle for silent devotion But I've waited so long You didn't have to string me along But it's not enough I need your touch I'm not asking for much You're such a tease You can't be pleased I'm begging on my knees Orlando, I'm sorry that this is what it's come to Orlando, forgive me I never meant to hurt you And I'd do anything to make you see That I could be the man to sweep you off your feet And yours could be the perfume that I breathe For now it's just a distant breeze

I'll bet on a horse More specifically the one I didn't poison I've been learning morse So I can talk to you When I end up in prison You know I'm a pretty well rounded individual I'm spherical like those cows in physics To make the math seem simple An approximation of the man I want to be Under ideal conditions Neglecting the effects Of gravity and friction Now I see the contradiction You can flip a coin, but we both know That I'll do what I want anyway Was that Schrödinger's position Or my stubborn disposition? I see hopes and dreams in caskets So I'll keep my eggs in baskets I'll bet on a horse Only this time I'll inject my steed with steroids I've been learning pointless skills So I can feel like I'm special And I feel pretty special I think that I deserve a medal

about

Oscillating between existential dread and euphoric mania, the sounds convey a taste for heart-sinking beauty
and a fascination for the unexpected through intricate lyricism and playful instrumentation.
