Under a Pedestal

I can't knock down these walls
Ever so bounding
Always taunting
It's a head wrecking shame
When the switch breaks
I feel the stretch of patience
And my old dreams
Too quick to leave
So I'm swimming where the siren leads
To a world contorted
So far from grounded
Even in my blueprint of life depictions
Every thought stained by contradiction
But when I see your shining crystal eyes
I let it all go
Take on a new perspective
Of sinking lower
Than what's expected
Into a maze
Recede within
So indulged by her reflection
Navigate which words to choose
Tempted by all proven truth
I think she distracts me
To diffract me
Says I need more substance than verse
But I never get close
I always come home
Her effect is subtle
Just watch how my standards can double
Seeking for complex elation
Yet even in my blueprint of life depictions
Every heart crushed by contradiction
Well I hope there's nothing such
As one who never grows
Ignore all the dreams that you stole
Pick out the ones that you own
Regardless of the pedestals
I can't knock down these walls
Ever so bounding
-ver so bounding

When Expression Breaks

Nobody gave me a key
My cold cheeks just locked outside
Once in a while
You will peak
Out when it's time to confide
Code it through a secret screen
(And filter out all the flickering)
Every word you say is glistening
Yet falling short of meaning
When I'm away
Oh everyone is dreaming
Floating together in waves
But we're just icebergs
Drifting in phase
Trust now flees
Trust now flees
To where our words
Can speak truthfully
Trust now flees
Trust now...
I should have forged your signatures
To bring you within a contract
Agreements of unwritten words
Seems only I give weight to that
I replay all I misperceive
And it consumes me
At 3am I woke watching you
Lobbying a throw
From her of which it's safe
To justify your distance
From a barricade
Who is self making, self hating
But otherwise, otherwise
Ever-changing
Nobody gave me a key
My cold cheeks just locked outside
Once in a while
You will peak
Out when it's time to confide
Code it through a secret screen
And filter out all the flickering
So we just float, float
So we just float, float
The frost will underlie us as
We float, float
Your company defies us as
We float, at a distance
As to never engage

No Room for Romantics
05:33

I'm so tempted
Yet easily lured away with fear
I'm an actress
But I'm as dull as a stone
Time to satisfy
Unusual feeling
I want nothing that's too akin to me
Then I'll leave it in the ruins of me
It's an apple worth biting
To risk these predictable days
I wanna be looser
To try every taste
But there's no room for romantics
And all of their senses
Paint them all as pedantic
When it suits
So I could blend seamlessly
These tins are misleading
I want nothing that's too akin to me
And anything I reject outwardly
It's an apple worth biting
To risk these predictable days
I wanna be looser
To try every taste
But there's no room for romantics
But there's no room for romantics
But there's no room for romantics
But there's no room for romantics
But there's no room for romantics
And all of their senses
And all that their sense is
And all of their...
There's no room for romantics
And all of their senses
And all that their...
It's an apple worth biting
To risk these predictable days
I wanna be looser to try every taste

Junk Drawer lead the pack, swerving into unsettling territory - I love this band's sheer unpredictability. I remember their gig at Output where they followed an excellent set by The Bonk. These guys are the cat's pyjamas!
