I change my clothes and I see you approach
and I look the other way
you stare at me and lick your teeth
but I won't show that I'm afraid
I don't care to find out
what you do in so little time
you're the ghost and I'm your prey
and I don't like this side of you
I'll be alright
if you keep your tongue tied
and don't say it out of spite
will you
but can you survive
without making me feel like
I won't make it out alive
be me could you be me for a day
and feel me could you feel
how I feel after all the things you say
I'm sure it eat you up inside
when it takes up all your time
making sure I'm not okay
I could turn this around for you
but I'll be alright
if you keep your tongue tied
and don't say it out of spite
will you
can you survive
without making me feel like
I won't make it out alive.

You know you're so uptight baby
you know you're so uptight
tell me get on your ride baby
tell me to hold on tight
there's things that I'm never going to give to you
the life of another might make you want to change
and the cracks in the floor that I'm falling through
I tread too heavy and I swear they say your name
oh what is keeping us here
I could never shake
this tie to you
I know I won't be spared
I should never have said
that I die for you
you know you're so uptight baby
you know you're so uptight
tell me get on your ride baby
tell me to hold on tight
an eye for an eye
but you took all of mine
and then you go
and I'm still surprised
that you change your mind
and never let me know
you spun me in circles
and I jump over hurdles
just to get to you
and it felt like murder
when I had to get further
than far from you
girl you don't belong here, and I can't say that I don't love it when you're gone
and I feel like I'm stuck here, caught in between the verses of your song

When my fear disappears
and I can't choose who to believe
I get miles above the house
and I don't know how to do without
because it still makes me feel like I'm the one when I lose sensibility
but the truth is I can't lie to myself and addiction's involuntary
and I spend all this time alone with my thoughts and I keep needing to escape
could you please tell me why you've got it in for me tonight
you just say I'm high
you just say I'm high you
just waste my time
Barefeet on the balcony
dropping our cigarettes into the trees
I swore I wouldn't let you get with me
but now there is numbness in my teeth
cos for the third time this week I'm in this flat
and I haven't got a pound to scratch my back
it's all that I know to meet him on the same road
after he's come back from a reload
I can imagine seeing these jeans
or this jacket in a mortuary
maybe I'm too old to feel 18
when I'm nearly 23
you just say I'm high
you just say I'm high
you just waste my time

THE AIR IN MY LUNGS

Crazy
have I been driving myself crazy
no one can understand me lately
and I've lost sight of it all
maybe
this time I'll have to take it with me
have to accept that it's a part of me
just like the air in my lungs
but am I a failure
I can't seem to let it go
I'm on my best behaviour
and he mistook me all night long
but you're no son of mine
lazy
it's winter and I get so lazy
oh won't you come and motivate me
and you're better left alone
walk me
into the valley of unclarity
before I act like you just married me
when you see nothing in me at all
but am I a failure
I can't seem to let it go
I'm on my best behaviour
and he mistook me all night long
you're no son of mine
you're no son yeah

I remember smoking in your garden
I didn't want to say the wrong thing
in case it made you even more saddened
the scar on your chest is mark of your will
and I can't hope to match it
so I left out of fear of not being good enough
but you're already on dressed
and I guess that
sex on the floor is quieter when we are in the house
we'd sit on your bed
and my neck would ache
as we listen to Gaga
and Lana del Ray
And no, I don't want to know a lot about you baby
I know I can't see a way out without you baby
would you try to decide when you open up
but in the meantime won't you hide your retreat

Don't cry at the party
just hold your drink and you'll be fine
I don't know anybody
because we turned up ahead of time
and I'm starting to worry
what if I get out of line
and I haven't listened to this much techno for some time
and as I sit in the corner I try to text you
I'm scared and I don't want to be here
but at least when you walk in I'll have someone to talk to
now my drink is dead and I'm running out of gear so
tell me you're here
walk out of the lobby
with two girls laid on the floor
a fresh bruise on her body
and a shadow behind the door
because it wasn't the first time
he was wild and they were scared
I guess nobody knew he was a psycho before they let him upstairs
and then they cried in reception and then no one could reach them
I found one in the street outside s
he said I'll order my Uber and when he didn't answer
she turned to me and screamed at her screen please
tell me you're here
It's how hard you try when nobody wants you
hard you try when nobody wants you
hard you try
I need to see you tonight
so tell me you're here

COLORFUL CRIMES Manchester, UK
The project began at the start of a dark 2020 winter after the events of the year forced a creative spark as a result of the isolation and necessity for creative outlet. Drawing influences from the Birmingham scene where the musical journey began, teeth were cut by listening to the mainstream indie and neo-jazz performed by the bands and at the venues that the project used to frequent. ... more
