Here with my TV
This show always comforts me
As I go to sleep
Though I still make plans
Watch time run through my hands like sand
I’m out so deep
I can taste you on my tongue
God knows I need someone
Spend weekends on my own
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Goes down to the bone
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Trying to make this house my home
Somehow it never feels right
Never felt so alone
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Living in a plastic life
I feel nothing at all
Come round I’ll let you paint my walls
Any colour you like
I can taste you on my tongue
God knows I need someone
Spend weekends on my own
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Goes down to the bone
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Trying to make this house my home
Somehow it never feels right
Never felt so alone
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
There’s something in my blood
That’s not getting used up
I don’t feel human
When I lie in my bed
Sometimes I feel half dead
Like your long lost friend
Come and touch me again
Spend weekends on my own
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Goes down to the bone
Guess I’m living in a plastic life
Trying to make this house my home
Somehow it never feels right
When you live alone
Muted feeling only grows
Guess I’m living in a plastic life

Breathing Underwater

Like a fist on the door when I’m half asleep
Like a tidal wave humming through the trees
This is not how my life is supposed to be
Breathing underwater
I’m pushing back the truth
I’m hiding things from you
Guess my love for anyone is like a forest floor
Just one eye through the letterbox when she’s at my door
In my home I can’t pretend I feel like I did before
Breathing underwater
I’m pushing back the truth
Breathing underwater
Look at what I have to lose
To protect myself from you
I will stand on your shore
So we can say we tried
But it your eyes
There’s no compromise
And we’re stuck before the dawn
