Does he hate me?
Does he hate how we held hands?
Does he hate how I saw you changing,
And try the smallest shirt on?
Does he hate me?
Does he hate how we held hands?
Does he hate how I saw you changing,
And try the smallest shirt on?
And try the smallest shirt on?

Strawberry Milk

When she left this world I fixed my problems,
By making music, by drinking Yazoo.
But now there’s nothing that I can consume.
Now there’s nothing that I can do.
Others seem to know me better than I know myself.
My life is now dictated by numbers on various scales.
Asking “between 1 and 10, how do you feel today?”
“You know there’s some red on that label, that’s too much sugar intake”.
Life hasn’t been fine,
Since it was okay,
To drink Strawberry Milk,
Everyday.
This ain’t Snickers, I’m not me when I’m depressed,
Most avoid me at my worst as well as at my best.
But I guess I’m here for now, so all must be alright,
My only real worry is running out of time.
Life hasn’t been fine,
Since it was okay,
To drink strawberry milk,
Every single day.
Life can only be fine,
If we stay young and free,
And drink strawberry milk,
Everyday.

Cool Beans

You personify our cuddly toys,
The food on our plates, the dust on the floor.
At first I couldn’t see,
But now you make me weep at the sight of a lonely pea.
I’ll admit I grew my hair to look like Harry Styles,
And I know it seemed that much better in my mind,
But I’m in love with you and you’re in love with me,
Despite the fact my band will never be as cool as 1D.
We are fine,
Though we deal in cruelty,
We’ll be alright,
Though we feel misery,
We are fine,
‘Cause it’s all cool beans,
It’s all cool beans.
I’ve learnt to deal with our salty moments,
I love that we laugh at our attempts at condolences,
25 and our innocence has died,
But that don’t mean we’ll ever grow up inside.
We are fine,
Though we deal in cruelty,
We’ll be alright,
Though we feel misery,
We are fine,
‘Cause it’s all cool beans,
It’s all cool beans.
I had a dream about Lorde again,
We went for coffee then she became my girlfriend,
But when I woke up I felt like a coward,
Then you poked me on the cheek and said “You’re not Brandon Flowers!”
We are fine,
Though we deal in cruelty,
We’ll be alright,
Though we feel misery,
We are fine,
It’s all cool beans.
We are fine,
Though you’ve got cooties,
We’ll be alright,
I think we’re happy,
We are fine,
‘Cause it’s all cool beans,
It’s all cool beans.

Black Flame Candle

I know I fear death,
And yet one day every October,
I’m okay with it.
And all horror movies are really shit.
But that’s ‘cause I’m scared.
I’m easily scared.
I’m easily scared.
I sometimes hope that,
Max changes his plan.
No lit Black Flame Candle,
Means no sisters Sanderson.
‘Cause mortality is real and uncomfortable,
Now I’m a little older,
I’ve learnt to be scared.
I’m easily scared.
How could fireworks be,
So magical and free,
When in actuality,
They’re just scaring puppies?
‘Cause they sound like warfare,
Despite the glitter launched in the air,
I am scared,
I’m easily scared.
I’m easily scared.
I sometimes pray to a god,
That I’m certain isn’t there, and I,
Try to show to everyone that I really don’t care,
So if there’s a higher power up in the air,
Then they’ll know I am scared,
I’ll succumb and forever be scared.
I should be honest here and now,
‘Cause before it was a front.
I fear cancer, tinnitus and dust.
And I’m told that WebMD,
Can’t cure me, immediately.
I am scared,
I’ll always be scared.
I’ll always be scared.
