Lyrics

Here's the lyrics to a couple of our songs.

Ashlee Murphy

Ashlee Murphy told me if you want to be a great
Then you have to look your best, in the personality stakes
And Ashlee Murphy told me, never to brush my teeth
With other peoples emotions, because they wont dry clean

I trust what I hear
(Cause what I hear is what I know)
I believe what I see
(Cause what I see is where I go)
I be what I am
(Cause what I am is who I be)
I live by the rules
Just like Ashlee Murphy

It’s a great feeling, she says when your right
But being right isn’t everything, and its better to be what you’ve come to like
She talks more sense, I twist the logic for
An excuse to make it more difficult than it need be

Thank goodness because badness doesn’t deserve any thanks
Catagorise and put in labelled boxes to store away
Ms Murphy on December 23rd she was
Understanding takes time, but at what cost ill see

Dear You

Late night poetry withstands all
Reasons and rights
Don’t matter when it’s late at night
There’s insects with wings,
Flying round my black walls
On this 2:59 Monday morning
One hour ahead due to farmers
And daylight ceases at 9:30-10

So cool, im hot
So called, you block
So cal, like punk
So cold, too sunk

Maybe it’s idiotic, but I can’t sleep
I’m a tourist to insomnia and it’s starting to bother me
Stagnant sleep brings with it
Too much time to think
I’m alone in my own world
And I think I’m on the brink

So cool, im hot
So called, you block
So cal, like punk
So cold, too sunk

Thank you
This would make a good suicide note
But this post wont deliver door
Anymore
Yours Sincerely
This letters signed by me.
