Alexander The Great

You're more than they take you for, you're more than just skin and bones.
You're muscles and tendons and ligaments, you're nuclei and fasciculus.
You travel in bundles and transmit.
Terminate in an axon well you could terminate in me.
And I find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time
When a train speeds past I'm forward of the yellow lines
In the middle of the road before the green man shows
You're more than I take you for, you're more than just skin and bones
I know your anatomy, the constellations, I map the stars on your shoulders
You travel for lightyears and transmit
Comets terminate in the atmosphere you could terminate in me
And I find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time
When a train speeds past I'm forward of the yellow lines
In the middle of the road before the green man shows
You know the same sweat that navigates your brow once ran down the face of Alexander the Great
And he said
"Jessie you turn me into a joke and you ain't gonna like the fucking punchline girl"
And I said
"It's hard to play hard to get when you're so fucking hard to want, my boy"
You know the same sweat that navigates your brow once ran down the face of Alexander the Great.

Love Like Insects
05:10

I wanna feel you exhale my name into the back of my neck
And I wanna hear you breathe into my hair
I'm a little bird, you're big red
You're a fox, I am little robin redbreast
Let's hunt for worms, let's make a nest at the bottom on the garden
Do you know that flies only mate once in their lives
I am sorry but I cannot love you like they do
And I wanna feel your arms wrapped around me from behind
And I wanna go to sleep with your hands holding mine
I'm a little bird, you're a fox
Big red and all the girls run amok
Let's dig a hole, under the fence at the bottom of the garden
Do you know that flies only mate once in their lives
I am sorry but I cannot love you like they do
Baby can't you see
It's not me and it sure as hell ain't you
Baby can't you see,
We cannot love like insects do
So I'll commit petty crimes
Every day and every night
I'll litter so I can come back as a fly
And love you like they do
Like the insects do.

Favourite Cliché

I see symmetry in your face
I see parallels and I see shapes
I see symmetry in your face
My favourite cliche
I see sadness on your face
I’ll take it in and I will replace
All the trouble on your brain
My favourite cliche
My favourite cliche
I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself
but you’re always there, damning me to hell
I see you wearing your heart on your sleeve
And, I won’t touch it I’ll stay right away
I see you wearing your heart on your sleeve
My favourite cliche
I see you looking at diamond rings
but you’re not into jewellery or fancy things
I see you buying a diamond ring
you’re still my favourite cliche
My favourite cliche
I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself
but you’re always there, damning me to hell
I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself
but you’re always there, damning me to hell
I’ll fuck around and I’ll hurt myself
but you’re always there with better stories to tell
And I’ll fuck around make a mess of things
when you say you’d like me to wear your ring
but that’s not my thing.

still smell you on my pillow case
can you taste me on your lips
your smile made flowers grow in the garden where weeds have been
but please remember
i’m a weed, yes i’m your daisy
and I'm your daisy
last night i dreamt about kissing you
I wonder if you want to kiss me too
your smile made flowers grow in the cracks of the pavement
but please remember
I’m a weed
Yes, I’m your daisy
And I'm your daisy
text me say your sheets smell
of my shampoo and sweat and sex
text me say you want me in your bed but your head'll have to do
so please remember
I’m a weed yes
i’m your daisy
I'm your daisy
and i'm nothing without context
I'll wrap around you like a vine.
so chain me and wear me round your neck
