Delicate

You've been busy and it's tiring
Oh you look so delicate
Come back early feeling sick
I say rest you'll feel the benefit
Don't be angry there's no need for it
Everything's so delicate
It's colder here than it's ever been
Now I feel irrelevant
There's no need to reminisce
Feels like I've been here forever and
I can't help think that it's wearing thin
I've not felt this delicate

Interesting with a lazy eye
Clumsier than a wardrobe
You shuffle down the staircase and
Back up them
Importance was away from me
It's never in my thoughts
I'll be there but I won't listen
I'm tired and weak
So curl up on the new settee

Martha woke me up
I'm not ready to get up
Martha while you cook
I'll get ready
Feed me my dinner
And I will sleep well
Feed me my dinner
And I will sleep
Martha while you sit
I'll look pale and thin
Martha tuck me in
I feel frail
Feed me my dinner
And I will sleep well
Feed me my dinner
And I will sleep

Nothing nights that I adore
I am underwhelmed by it
Mix up the dishes in the cupboard below the shelf
And leave out the glasses because we all know they dry themselves
It's for the benefit of someone else
Ill fitting t-shirt to wear
With the food stains on it
Replace the bin because the old one ain't fit anymore
And clean down the table and the spill that has leaked on the floor
It's for the benefit of someone else

I've been stuck outside for too long
Shaking like a shitting dog I'm cold
I'm not looking forward to get home
Radiator doesn't work at all
I'm waiting for the worst time

Don't you feel alone
It's not the same now I'm gone
I won't be home
It's not the same now I'm gone
But save the side I sleep on
I won't be far behind
And wait on the cover
I'll forever love you
I'm not sick of feeling alive
But it's effort to try

Slump

A shallow ache found in my gut
When I've been overwhelmed
Tail me behind all I've took
I'm awake but I feel like I'm away
Clean the table, wash the clothes
Take as long as you want
Keep my forty angles close
I'm awake but I feel like I'm away
Pass me over my coat
I've not been here for that long
Keep my forty angles close
I'm awake but I feel like I'm away

Can You Eat?
03:36
|
|

|
Quiet as pins
I'll come around and I'll call in
Underneath
Your red wine teeth have stained for weeks
At least
You're comfortable
Can you eat?
Just a little bit because you look weak
And I'll wash your sheets
Prop those pillows up so you fall
Asleep
You're comfortable
