about

this song is too fucking long. I justify it to myself by saying it's two 2.5 minute songs but really none of my songs should ever be more than 3 minutes long.

to quote Guy Crundwell:
"A two-minute song doesn’t last too long
Doesn’t last too long for me
And a three-minute song is one minute too long"

lyrics

[part 2]
6 hour drive
To a 9 hour flight
To an hour long Piccadilly line ride
To you
Thought I might see this one through

On Holloway Road
And the text arrives
That you're sorry and you can't meet up tonight
And that's fucked
Cause tomorrow I'm leaving for Europe

Head back home
And take off my clothes
Try to masturbate but the porn won't load
It's okay
I can barely get it up anyway

Pick up my guitar
Work on gulf storms
Realise that this song has the same chords
I'm screwed
Guess I'll just call it part two

You're the riptide of my life
I've been pulled into deep water
By dreams of being your wife
This didn't end right
I was supposed to stop by
I need a conclusion
I need to know why
Why you don't like what I'm like
Why you don't want to hold me in the night
I don't want to go without you for months at a time
I need to play you some songs of mine

I occasionally remember a conversation
From a couple years back
Where you said you didn't like holding hands
And it's scared me ever since
Cause I love holding hands
And I love you
And I'd love to hold hands with you
Feel your fingers between mine
Feel you pull me along when you get excited
Feel you squeeze real tight if I ever start to cry


[part 3]
Is there gum in my jeans in the washing machine?
Is there gum in my jeans in the washing machine?
Is there gum in my jeans in the washing machine?
Is there gum in my jeans in the washing machine?

What is there to do about it now
Maybe I just ruined a pair of trousers.
I'm flipping between thoughts of you
And thoughts of wearing my dirty khakis on the train tomorrow.
Rush downstairs and stare through the glass
At the spinning colors
And fuck I can't make out the individual clothes
And I can't see my jeans even when the cycle slows.

Maybe this is a sign that I should start wearing
The dress I stole from my mom.
I wonder what you'd think of it
And if you'll ever see the floral panties that I'd have on.

I might take a bath
Maybe a shower
Imma try to be in bed in an hour.
And think if you've ever said that you like flowers.

I can wait
I can wait
I can wait
I can wait

Even if it takes all day I can wait
Maybe play some videogames I can wait
Listen to a record or two I can wait
Probably need to eat some food I can wait

DEMOS for the band 7 Hour Darkness Invasion. Be warned, there's a lot of out of tune singing and out of time playing. These are essentially drafts of what I want the albums to actually be.
