lyrics

i can see the beach from my roof
while the people i love are below my feet
and i don't know if i should jump
or cry, or laugh or make fun of myself
i fall in love with everyone i meet
and immediately feel guilty for whatever the fuck that means
so if footscray station is the last song i hear, i don't think that i will really be that sad

i think it's now the 16th of september
and i'm alone in this great big fucking common room
with sirens going and making my time disturbed
i think it's about 1:50am
and i don't know at all if i want to go on
in this shell of disappointment and ruined lungs

it's funny that i've chosen the self destruction that comes with smoking
because when i was a child i said it was fucking disgusting
and it's funny that now i'm by myself
and i need someone
but all i've got
is an instagram dm from someone i don't know yet

i may be a little harsh
it's just the side effects of getting just a little too drunk
and regretting every decision i've ever made
if i say i need to be cleaned
would you pour holy water over me
and make sure that the sin and the glitter is gone?
i'm sick of living inside this hole
i've got the grandest of goals, i don't want to live in my dump anymore
in this tiny house on tapleys hill road
right across from a pub and near a train station that i never even use
i’ll just spend my money on filthy habits

what did i do to fuck up every friendship i've ever made?
people always leave; why did no one tell me?
was it fear of me being right?
my eyes are getting heavy
while the wind is acting like it's the toughest thing that nature has ever seen
and it may well be
that i'm overbearing, undersharing, possibly oversharing
it's all dependent on the number of my blood alcohol reading

i love everyone in this place
some, maybe more than others i know
and bringing this back to me i just want to know
was it better with his hands around your throat?
