‘Debris’ Lyrics

Hey hey
I don’t know why I feel so cold, but you
You kinda like it, like that was your goal
I don’t know why I act this way, but it
It’s easier than having something to say

I think you and me
Should clear away the debris
Didn’t know that loneliness
Could feel as good as this

It’s not my job to care about you anymore
I don’t care anymore

Hate me
But at least I can breathe
Won’t break me
Cos it’s time for you to leave

And I know you know
There’s nothing that
You can do
Don’t want you
Don’t want you
Don’t want you
Don’t want you
To ever be around
Cos I’m happier by myself

Every time I drive past our old house
I thank fucking God I got the fucking hell out

I’m glad you and me
Ended up being nothing
Didn’t know that loneliness
Could feel as good as this

It’s not my job to care about you anymore
I don’t care anymore

Hate me
But at least I can breathe
Won’t break me
Cos it’s time for you to leave

And I know I’m done

Hate me
But at least I can breathe
Hate me
But at least I can breathe

‘Better Late’ Lyrics

I think I would like to see
The kind of person I could be
Without you there beside me

I think I would like to know
The kind of places I could go
Where time doesn’t feel so slow

Just realised I’m
Never coming back
Would you just relax?

Don’t criticise I
Always had your back
And it’s kinda sad

Just realised you
Treated me like shit
And it makes me sick

Don’t criticise I
Gave you all I had
And I want it back

Took some time but
It’s
It’s better
It’s better late
It’s better late than

Maybe I could stay right here
Maybe there’s nothing to fear
Maybe you really do care

Maybe I’d consider it
If I knew how to take a hit
And believe I deserve it

I think I would like to see
The kind of person I could be
You never let me hope or dream
And the world’s bigger than you made it seem

I think I would like to know
The kind of places I could go
The warning shot’s a little slow
But I won’t wait for you to reload

Sometimes wish that I would die
I wonder if you’d help me try
Cos you never tried to change my mind

Just realised I’m
Never coming back
Would you just relax?

Don’t criticise I
Always had your back
And it’s kinda sad

Just realised you
Treated me like shit
And it makes me sick

Don’t criticise I
Gave you all I had
And I want it back

Took some time but
It’s
It’s better
It’s better late
It’s better late than never

‘New Oblivion’ Lyrics

Looking back to find a pleasant memory
It’s kinda sad nothing springs to mind

I thought that I saw a darkness in you
But I didn’t expect that I would be a fool

Scared of love when I thought you were the one
And I’m still scared, I’ve forgotten how to trust

Pushing on
Is pushing me down under
It’s pushing me right off over the edge

Shouldn’t say this
I’d rather push up daisies
Sorry had to get that off my chest

I think you know you treated me badly
Actually I think we both knew it all along

Saying you can’t live without me doesn’t mean you love me
Just need someone to blame your problems on

Pushing on
Is pushing me down under
It’s pushing me right off over the edge

Shouldn’t say this
I’d rather push up daisies
Sorry had to get that off my chest

Leave this love
How can I leave the system
I think I’ve gotten in over my head

I will escape
And the only thing I have to say
Is it shouldn’t be this bad all the time

And I know it now
Won’t settle just cos I’ve settled down
Cos the only heart I’ll ever need is mine

I had to get this off my
Had to get this off my
Had to get that off my chest

‘Carbon Copy’ Lyrics

Shaking
Feeling the force of the breaking
Sorting through records in code they’re written
I’ll find out some way
And stand while you break

Put on your makeup
And show off what you’ve got
But you’re a carbon copy of us
You try to swim through
The darkness of your dreaming
But it’s high tide and you should wake up

I just need you to take this
I know you can fake it
Just roll up your sleeve
And I’ll see if you can bleed
And death won’t set you free

Don’t want you to break it
I just need you to take this
I know you can fake it
Run another spiel
But if you don’t wanna feel
Then none of this is real

You keep saying you’ve heard it
But we’re just scratching the surface
So I’ll be walking in circles again
Would you let me in?

Put on your makeup
And show off what you’ve got
But you’re a carbon copy of us
You try to swim through
The darkness of your dreaming
But it’s high tide and you should wake up

I just need you to take this
I know you can fake it
Just roll up your sleeve
And I’ll see if you can bleed
And death won’t set you free

Don’t want you to break it
I just need you to take this
I know you can fake it
Run another spiel
But if you don’t wanna feel
Then none of this is real

There’s something
Recently
Coming from
The machine
I don’t think
We should be
Alone

I just need you to take me
And know that I’m breaking
If love is all we need
Then why do you always leave?
The only one I trust is me
