Crocodile Tears

For the nights with the words in my mouth

Something’s underwater, moving into colour oh

You were fine, ‘till the colour wore off

Piecing me together, architecture

Keep me high, sipping on liquid luck

Think that was the medicine, and I felt better

Now your floating in my breakfast cereal

So hi, hey, hello yeah that was a nice try

Coming up slowly before you bite, and you know

I forgive and forget it then you cry crocodile tears

Pull the blinds, when we felt like a ghost

Back down to the bottom, gravity gets heavy

Oh you, held too tight, when I needed you most

There’s something we hold, there’s something we carry

Oh there’s something we hold, there’s something we carry

So hi, hey, hello yeah that was a nice try

Been coming up slowly before you bite, and you know

I forgive and forget it then you cry crocodile tears

So hi, hey, hello yeah that was a nice try

Been coming up slowly before you bite, and you know

I forgive and forget it then you cry crocodile tears

 

We’ll ride it out

(There’s something we hold, there’s something we carry)

To nowhere

(There’s something we hold, there’s something we carry)

So hi, hey, hello yeah that was a nice try

Been coming up slowly before you bite, and you know

I forgive and forget it then you cry crocodile tears

So hi, hey, hello yeah that was a nice try

Been coming up slowly before you bite, and you know

I forgive and forget it then you cry crocodile tears

I’m currently writing for younger Zara and older Zara’s dreams

Possibly not for myself right now

Honoring the old me

For the nights

• That I stared at the screen for 8 hours with nothing to say and months later got a song out of it

• For all the conversations and meetings with rob and Jim

• For all the messages I’ve received that have felt my music deep within them. The one day today was ‘I love your new song ‘live with it’. It helps me through a heartbroken time. Thank you’.

• For how proud you are of the songs you’ve put out

• For every second that this project lingers on your mind

ARCHITETCURE

1. For the nights

Sorry I’ve

You were an open book

We’ll need to figure out what we just saw on screen

Stammering for sense

Chilli stains my hands, we’ve never cooked up so many plans

Broke a glass in the aftermath

Things get wild in the little park in our mind

When to give into the softness you’d like in your hands

Or to rage on

There’s an easiness I crave

Don’t we just swing between comfort then boredom then recklessness?

Where we spend ourselves

Layered jumpers, and looking forward to turning the heating on

Used to laugh at your simple ways, now that’s all I ever crave, now that’s all I ever crave

Living in bliss

Sleeping for days

Facial features held in the most relaxed way

Am I over trying to make a noise?

Making a change makes more sense

Ego has fallen asleep for days

Beauty lingers on my mind, so I can keep him, so I can keep LUME

Makeup routine is now just

Anthem and

And I was rooted

My

The old me

___ and mystery

I have a system

More or less

Days

The same meal, and a please

Saving

Strange chaos and an island please/speak

Waves

A breakdown and a

Something tastes good

I like the way it tastes

From chaos to order

I often waste time

For the nights

(Clumsiness)

Came it on strong/soft

Sunday eyes

Cocoon

Hey yeah you’re the trigger

Coast to coast

Focus on the love, but you let her down

Plain to see

But I can hear the noises

Held myself

Wanting to want this

Who’s accountable. When I have nothing to show for this

No one else to blame

Painting blame up the church walls

I tell everyone I meet ‘you’re a hard thing to beat’

Rented accommdotion

It makes me slur my words

Burden

Infectious

Coast to coast

Greek tragedy

Mourning

For the nights sitting and thinking alone

For the nights that we looked for the answers

For the nights I wanted more time

Pretending

Six feet under

Coast to coast

Bodies have grown
