Declined 01:36
I went to my therapist, I will until my brain is fixed I went to my therapist, I’m coping Until next week when I miss my train And I go to work and they dock my pay I went to my therapist, I will until my brain is fixed I went to my therapist, I’m coping I can only afford rice and my myki was declined I’ve gotta get to work and I might not make it this time I went to my therapist, I will until my brain is fixed I went to my therapist, I’m coping

Saving Face 02:41
When’s it my turn to be upset? 
I have to play it out in my head Swallowing snide comments cause I know they won’t help But for once I wanna be the one who yells Why should I stay silent? 
And swallow my voice Why should I have to hide who I am, 
When you’re so arrogantly you? Let it all out, wear it on your sleeve No fear of repercussions no fear of hurting me Puff out your chest and raise your voice Why can’t you make your point without a scene? Why should I stay silent? 
And swallow my voice Why should I have to hide who I am
, When you’re so arrogantly you? Why should I have to save face When you’re the one who’s wrong Why should I have to comfort you
 Who’s gonna comfort me?

Empty Houses 04:47
I remember you telling my sister When she was 16 That she needs to think about others And how they're feeling That there’s more going on around her; That other people struggle too But I think somewhere along the way You forgot your own advice I may not know much about taxes But I know there's more empty houses than there are people who need it I may not know much about saving money But I’m already making my own coffee I'm glad your life is easier now You've worked hard and you deserve it But everyone deserves that luxury Everyone deserves necessities Don’t you think it needs to change? Shouldn’t it be easier Everyone works hard But we don’t all get paid the same I may not know much about taxes But I know there's more empty houses than there are people who need it I may not know much about saving money But I’m already making my own coffee Having to space out our breakdowns for ten free sessions a year I'd be okay never affording my own home If it meant I could afford treatment We’ve been sold so many things over the years But you're not selling me on this You're not selling me on this I may not own my own business But my labour is fueling your wealth

Murder 03:01
My body is crumbling My mind is breaking apart I’m clawing at the walls for safety I never had a head start And I feel so guilty All I can think of is me When the planet is imploding And we lock them up indefinitely Another woman killed By a man who said he loved her Another candlelight vigil I walk home, I hope I’m not murdered The human weight of suffering What a weight to bare The news cycle’s not stopping I’m incapacitated by how much I care
5.
I was born With a hole in my heart That took 25 years To close up 
 The cold fills my bones I can’t leave the house If i stay in bed one more day I’ll never make it out Always in the way No matter where I stand 
I was raised
 Soaked in shame An infection
 That won’t go away When I finally make it out I get called names I can’t feel my body I don’t feel safe
6.
Dive 03:36
I’m sure there’s an explanation But I can’t find the words half the time And however much I don’t need it is how high I’ll dive into the city If I try or if I don’t it makes no difference You’ll always find me here I guess the party's over Cos everyone passed out, woke up then left, gone home I guess the party's over Cos it's Thursday morning and I'm still drunk on my own And I've had a lot of fun I've had a lot of fun I'm not having fun anymore I know every rock and tree on this way home I try not to think too much I look out the window at things I never had Out on the street I stumble As the kids in the gutter tell me to get fucked And I guess the party's over I’ve had a lot of fun But I'm not having fun But I'm not having fun anymore
7.
I'm barely holding on but I'm fucking trying And I know I'm not alone and it's fucking tiring We’re all trying our best to get better And if we hold each other up we might just get somewhere And the Rev's closed down so now I don't know where to go when I need somewhere to go But it still says our name on the poster out the front Months after doors closed and wall decorations sold So I guess we still hold a place even if the place is barely holding on
8.
I catch an Uber to hospital when i can’t ask anyone else I’ve been pulling others' pain inside me I thought the empathy might help And I wish I could believe in something Or someone could believe in me I’m scared to see you with the lights on Scared of what it might mean But you’re just a fantasy For when I might find some bravery And I wish I could believe in something Or someone could believe in me
