Your room is cold
and you're hogging all the covers
I feel like I should be shivering
but I'm not
Your flatmates are watching TV downstairs
and your door is wide open
I feel like I should close it
but I don't know why
We hang out almost every day
is it weird that I miss you even when you won't go away
Your room is cold
but I'm feeling pretty hot
in your tight latex skirt
with your lips around my cock
Laying on your barren bed
no covers
no sheets
and then you tell me to go
cause this was all just a tease
I'll be thinking about you as I lay in bed
because you've made me feel some things that I thought I'd never feel again
Is this what they mean when they say "polyamory"?
Do you want to be more than friends and cuddle and kiss or is it just me?
When you lay alone at night what do you think of?
Cause all I'm thinking about is all the people who make me feel like I'm in-
Leaning on the window
Sat alone on the bus
I can still feel your arms around me
as I watch the sun come up
Tonight was a kind of fun that I haven't had in months
And suddenly I burst into tears
But I'm still smiling for once
I wish we could hang out as much as we used to
I hope you feel as warm right now as I do
This grass is making me itch
And it's far too bright out
My leg has fallen asleep
My foot feels like it's broken
So I'm stuck here looking out clouds
I pick up my phone and ask how you've been
Then turn it off silent
Close my eyes
And wait for you to reply
I don't get lost in moments like these
But I feel lost even when you're just talking to me
Is this what they mean when they say "polyamory"?
Is it normal to want to date your friends?
Is it weird that you all fill my dreams?
When I lay alone at night that's what I think of
How it's so damn wonderful that there's so many people who make me feel like I'm in love

The Hell BBQ

Do you wanna talk about it?
Or are you just gonna keep looking into my eyes?
With that scrunchy smile plastered across your face
I'd say something if it weren't for that
If it weren't you
I can't quite see
I can't quite breathe
I'm choking on the smoke
That fills this bedroom
Most of my friends are stoned
And the rest are asleep
There are so many people here that I've never even met
Sitting around
Looking depressed
This is not the appropriate situation to have a conversation
This is not the place to do anything at all
So I'm just sitting here looking at you looking at me looking at you
Can I ask you out right now or would that be too soon?
And you with your glass of wine
Are those tears in your eyes or are they just watering?
Cause I can't tell
What the fuck is going on
Have I died?
Is this hell?
Are you laughing at me?
Is it too early to leave?
I regret ever coming here
Apologies for acting so weird
But I didn't know what I was getting into
You said this would be a barbecue

Night Terrors

Guess it all started in your apartment
I fell asleep on your floor
And woke up with your tongue in my mouth
And it's been quite a few months now
But still I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night
Shivering and scared
Cold sweat
Wet shirt
Damp sheets
Oh please
Tell me that I'm alone in this room
Cause just like that night I can't move
I've always been kinda afraid of the dark
But I've always been able to get to sleep
I've always had nightmares
But those nightmares have always been in my dreams
God there's someone beside me
Talking to me
Touching my face
I swear I locked the door
But I can feel something running its fingers through my hair
I start to scream
Then jerk upright and punch the air
Lay back down
Pull my covers over my head
And pray that nobody is there
I'm always worried that I'll have to explain myself
Cause sexual assault is a real mood killer
And nobody wants to wake up to me freaking out
Then having to hear the story of how I guess it all started in your apartment
The night I didn't get drunk enough to pass out

Sorry (version)

I'm sorry
Both for the drinking and for what came after
And I'm sorry for letting that happen again, and again, and again
I'm sorry
These jokes aren't great and they aren't getting better
And maybe it's best to give up on them if they're making you cry
I'm sorry
I feel uncomfortable around me too
And I'm sorry for being so bad at expressing my love for you
Cause I can't be sincerely sincere
And I find it hard to relate
When you're talking about the way you feel
Cause all I get is this dull sort of pain
And it'll kill me one day
But I want you to be okay
Please don't feel bad
It'll be better that way
When I go I want you to know
That you did all you could
I think you should be proud
That I ever felt good
I'm sorry
For whining to no end
It's not like it helps
And it's not okay to do this to my friends

Going to the Beach Again

Summer nights
Summer days
Summer heat and summer rain
Sober at an airport
Waiting to board the plane
And I think through what I've been through
And how long it's been since I've seen you
Do you remember that night in June
When you pinned me to the floor and I didn't say a word
I just laid there figuring out whether I could escape under your bed
Slamming my foot trying to wake up a friend
Do you still think about that?
Do you still think about me?
Have you moved on?
Do you still listen to my songs?
Oh god
Now I'm a few miles high
And I'm going to some beach in Greece
But this time I won't write love songs for a guy
Who treated me like that
I still don't think you're a bad person
And maybe it's selfish to write a song about this
Fuck I just don't know what to do
I don't know what to feel about you
Cause you're not bad
You just did a bad thing
That changed the way I think
That made me feel broken and scared
That made it even harder to care about myself
But now I'm not wishing I were dead
And I have these wonderful friends
And I'd do anything for them
Even if that means never seeing you again
Cause they're worried about me
Cause I do such dumb things
And I spend a fair amount of nights just crying
Summer nights
Summer days
Summer heat and summer rain
The bar was set pretty low last year
So this summer is looking to be fucking great

Kill the Crowd

This audience sucks
Y'all fucks don't even dance
And no one understands
How uncomfortable I am up here
Stripping myself bare for your pleasure
Are you having fun?
Are you getting off right now?
Was this worth the 4 pounds?
Kill the crowd!
(I'll pull off your nails)
Kill the crowd!
(Drive my fingers into your cuts)
Kill the crowd!
(I'll eat your fucking flesh)
Kill the crowd!
(I'll drink your fucking bed)
Flying cymbal to the neck
Maybe a guitar to the head
Use a jack as a whip
Or choke you to death with it
Crash these amps to the floor
Start a fire, block the door
Gonna go deaf we'll be playing so loud
How does that sound?
Kill the crowd!
(I'll gouge out your eyes)
Kill the crowd!
(I'll tear out your teeth)
Kill the crowd!
(I'll break every one of your limbs)
Kill the crowd!
(Then I'll straight off rip off your head)

"Queer as in Fuck You"

This wouldn't be a problem if you just listened at the shows
Like half the band is trans so please don't call us "bro"
And before you make the accusation, yeah I'm a heterophobe
And I want you to go
Get out of here with your cis bullshit
This is a safe space and I'm willing to get violent
//if you ever feel uncomfortable at a show please come up and tell me, whether it's because of something I'm doing or a member of the audience is harassing you or anything I will try my hardest to make things right. Interrupt me mid song if you have to//
Every queer is welcome here
Every nonbinary and aspec person can be part of the community
Every transboy and every transgirl should feel okay at our shows
I want this to be a place for people like us to call home
So we won't tolerate that cis bullshit
No abusers, no homophobes, no racists or misogynists
And if you try me I swear I will get violent

Sitting by the door of the racecourse
Across from my ex
In a comfortable silence
Staring at two disassembled drum kits
6 amps
5 guitars
And a fair few boxes of miscellaneous hardware
Waiting for the cab
As the last of the crowd leaves
Pointing us out as they pass by
I'm in my red dress
My makeup is fucked
And I can see the sun coming up

It's 9pm on a friday
The moon is as bright as the sunset
And I can smell fire off in the distance
I'm carrying groceries back to my place
Feeling like things don't change
And trying to write a song that'll prove me wrong
In my kitchen feeling weird
Just brought one of my closest friends to tears
And now I'm laying on the couch
Watching x-files
Thinking if there's anything I can say
To make her feel okay
And trying to stay away
It's getting dark
And I've walked past your place maybe 5 times now
With my ex on my back
Telling me to go in and just ask you out
Even though you've got friends over
Even though you've been depressed
Even though I'm on the sidelines of your life and that's probably for the best
If I told you that I love you would you kiss me?
If I told you that I'm scared would you hold me tight?
If I just stood there silent on your doorstep would you invite me in?
If I told you I'm sorry would you tell me how to make things right?
Now it's 9pm on a different day
The sunsets here go on forever
And I can smell fire again
