SLOW BURN
It’s been a hard year of highs and lows
There have been dark times nobody knows
What goes on beneath the skin
What kind of mess I made this into
I’m slow on the lesson I’m slow on the learn
I guess I’m just a slow burn
It’s on my shoulders my back alone
What you’ve done you’ve gotta own
There’s no way through on faking grass
You gotta live with the calls of your past
I’m slow on the lesson I’m slow on the learn
I guess I’m just a slow burn
Never had joy like this before
Never had pain so hard so raw
When you came along I was down in the depths
Lucky stone around my neck
I’m slow on the lesson I’m slow on the learn
I guess I’m just a slow burn

I have arms and they need to hold ya
I have a heavy heart and it needs a shoulder
Honey inside external soldier
Oh but I have arms and they need to hold ya
I wish I was a ship steady and strong
There’s nothing I can do but carry on
I wish I could wind back where I went wrong
There’s nothing I can do but carry on
How are you I’m doing fine
Another day another line
Daily rollercoaster of sugar and tar
Here I am and there you are
I wish I was a ship steady and strong
There’s nothing I can do but carry on
I wish I could wind back where I went wrong
There’s nothing I can do but carry on
I’m unsteady tip me in a light breeze
Oh the wax and the wane has worn at me
What do you want what do you need?
I’ll give up I’ll give you every piece of me
I wish I was a ship steady and strong
There’s nothing I can do but carry on
I wish I could wind back where I went wrong
There’s nothing I can do but carry on

Already Gone

Your poison ran deep, your poison ran quiet
Your poison ran strong, your poison ran wild
You chip chipped away, leaving no scars behind
You wore me down, had me doubting my mind
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone, a stitch saves nine
You had a strong front, you were bad to the core
I could see it in your eyes yeah I’d seen it before
All of the lying, all of the games
Baby come crashing through the branches again
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone, a stitch saves nine
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone get the ducks in a line
Get out get out, get out with your life
Get out get out, get out alive
Get out get out, get out with your life
Get out get out, get out alive
You’d call me names and I’d ignore you
Couldn’t remember what I did before you
All of the lying, all of the games
Couldn’t put baby together again
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone, a stitch saves nine
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone get the ducks in a line

Tired of Being You
03:13

Well you’re winning the busyness contest
Looks like your diary’s jam-packed
With opportunities and ways to better yourself
And you will yeah I’ll give you that
Look at all the flights in your flights app
Look at all the days you’re away
Wow you must really be killing it
Another lunch in the lounge ok
Your schedule makes me wanna lie down
And cover my eyes with a shoe
Your instagram is all about envy
And of course you’re beautiful too
You must be tired of being you
Have a break take a load off come and sit down
Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing
They only care if you’re around
Your self worth is intrinsically linked to the numbers
Of listeners throughout the day
Why hasn’t that show sold out yet
It’s been on sale for days for days
And after all of this crazy what do you have to show
A battered suitcase of memories
And a disjointed life back home
You must be tired of being you
Have a break take a load off come and sit down
Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing
They only care if you’re around
And you’ll never be ready for anything
Yeah it’s never gonna be the right time
You’re always too busy to start it
I’m telling you it’s a lie it’s a lie
You must be tired of being you
Have a break take a load off come and sit down
Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing
They only care if you’re around
Have a break take a load off come and sit down
Nobody cares if you’re winning or losing
They only care if you’re around
