i done graffiti in a lightning storm a shemale jesus christ reborn
a limelight lover since my teens when i would star in child porn
but say it now and i’ll yawn libra rising capricorn
mild whore of wild form sleep at four to rise at dawn
sweet and all but she’s a little bit unpredictable
she can talk she’s committed to being whimsical
particular with her fibs and all an idiot doing bits unlawful
half her exploits seem admittedly to be fictional
my diagnostic roster’s got a panoply of acronyms
from hyperactive batty bitch to post-traumatic manic kid
and half of it’s been did to me and half of it’s inherited
and half of it’s a laugh and i’m not sorry for the meds i did
when i did then i woke up on a psych ward
quite sore found me a sharpie in a side drawer
right bored wrote good morning all on the whiteboard
nice thought then i rubbed it off and wrote shite whore
eyesore signed it with initials like a high score
my lord escaped away into the nightfall
might call but the whole event has been a right nause
you’re gonna spit in my face i’m gonna bite yours
a sauce and a sorcerer gone from pauper to pauperer
i’m an audible torturer you’re the poor little auditor
and i’m awkwardly courting ya on a course to be awkwarder
so gorgeous i’ll order ya that i’m more and more gorgeouser
i’m a mad cunt i’ll have lunch off your man’s bum
he’s handsome he’s had some with the mandem
and we have fun get random and attract em
with a cap gun a rap song and a fast one thanks hon
gotta make a solid entrance i won’t pay your sodding penance
sorry for the sodden panties promise you i’ll launderette them
sorry know we’re rotten tenants least you know i’m awful pleasant
first to go to trouble for a friend but i deplore you peasants
i'm innately better than you matey
i'm insanely irate at a baby
i'm inanely explaining i'm crazy
imma name thee a pagan with rabies
this is not a gimmick i’m not getting paralytic
i am not a mimic biting isn’t my beginning
got the clothes i’m in it’s mighty fine i’m coping innit
wrote a dodgy lyric but i can’t afford to bin it
don’t suppose you want to hear it

meds disruption

little brain zaps and a pain at my brain that’s
a way back to a place that i stray back
occasionally but i may pack a day bag
and say that i’m great thanks in a way that conveys
man remains crap gay trans insane yat
a crazed gal away back she’s danger
great fat failure faking her way past the straight path
the main drag i get paid and parade in a
maybach with a great stack of fake cash
underweight bags of grade and in ray-bans
that’s straight rap (wait) traps are gay that’s a great laugh
i play jack of all trades and it’s a shame that a mate
has my 8 grams a spray can and a grey hat
no takebacks erase that it played bad to the main fans
the age bracket 8 to 80 are all making do
i’m saying truth i’m off my meds don’t underestimate my hate for you
i wake up sweaty and ready to edit unhealthy epidermis
with many a parallel redness you better bet it’s worth it
god i’m through with life on watch for suicide
tryna find a new-ish type of bladed article failing hard and all
scratch that i’m a dab hand with a glass shard
had to smash a bottle of jack it wasn’t that hard
got it taken off me and damn it’s not that bad rahhh
acting like i’m slashing my wrists didn’t get that far
ashing a cig spitting a wank bar
my whole world’s coming apart don’t even start with me
earth’s crumbling hard slit up an artery
my words come from a bard, spitting a bar to me
lines in a verse i’m in a hearse
trying to find the words to purge my life of this curse
i tried it’s worthless trying to worsen til it kills me off
crying it hurts searching my purse to pop the pills i’m off
dying’s harder than you think but the brink is a looker
so i neck a bev and then i stick my head in the cooker
psychiatrically actually i’ve a couple of screws loose
i have matter-of-factually quite a number of blue moods
i am axiomatically like a hundred of you dudes
i’m about to go happily diving under a choo-choo
i’m irascible lately like an actual baby
or a manacled lady who is massively crazy
manically maybe passively slating family days
in fancy estates frankly happily waiting
for a bastard to save me ha that’s a daydream
wasting away haven’t ate in days and the pace is relentless
like what i’m living off my face is apprenticed
to my selfish homunculus my illness
my wellness seems so very far away when i’m like this
im seeping very fast away when i’m like this
creeping very far no way to deny this
it’s crisis i’m really trying hard to reply with
as much as i can muster but it doesn’t cut the mustard
so i cluster pills in piles and suck them up with utmost gusto
had enough no ahh fuck no take to bed and break bread with me
out of luck no still stuck though keep your head and take your meds with me

think hard like socrates bars like odysseys
swear down like hippocrates doctor please i’m onto these new meds
they haven’t helped i took a lot of these put a lot of cuts in me
funnily enough it seems what an oddity knock em off with no apologies
spilling t like prophecies in leaves professor please i profess
a need for confession my guilty conscience begging on its knees
what i’ve seen’d make a copper bleed out the eyes
but not me don’t know what you mean honestly probably
dodging the aristocracy i oughta be under lock and key
why is nobody stopping me i’ve gotten free
you alter me i’ll fold and be your fucking psaltery

notification like an omen of ravens
message asking me for company and come quick please
i haven’t cut i haven’t used but there’s an element of urgency
nothing left to do but uber up to the emergency
a message in the car she’s been starving herself
for four days straight plainly insane call nine nine nine
no i’m fine has an apple juice capful it dribbles down
she can’t hold the bottle now a nice way to die
maybe i miscalculated something i’m saying i’m great
a fine state shaking and slurring words
cool to the touch verging on cold
moves like an old dear if she moves at all
whole body hurts was it worth it i’m urging her version of events
to line up with mine to align better with fact
fact is you fucked it
evident that that is enough
this can’t go on
shouldnt’ve half so long
i bare so much in front of you what have i done to you
to merit this response from you babe i’m onto you
if you think this is what i want to do then you’d be on the money
funny that i’ve got a solemn task but so does everybody
got a lot to do god i’ve got a lot to do
gotta wonder who’s looking after me and you
i’m looking after you you’re looking after me and two
are looking after three and all of us are looking after we
are passing round the same ten quid ad infinitum
passing round the therapists that won’t deny us
passing round the same old tricks there is a bias
to how we help ourselves before eachother frequent fliers
on the airline of nearly dying i’m trying to tell you something
i’m nearly crying i’m lying i’m well who’s coming
drumming a drum coming undone at the seams
humming along jumping at something no one sees
it isn’t meant to be contagious but an epidemic
scratching down to dermis like a plague rat i’m allegedly
excited for the day i can retire from unpaid nursery i
asked for help they had a look but it was cursory
this can’t go on
shouldn’tve half so long
i’m running out of my resources done a runner no-one saw it
so i floored it all the way to bristol road and thought i’d bought it
played in traffic made a habit of the static shock i’d get
from coming close to dying swarmed around by corvids
or it’s will and testament final torturous bit of corpus
they abhor us caught in choruses excoriating corpses
there’s nothing left of us to hate if you’re ignoring us
there’s nothing left of us to stay the course the war’s enough
a cause enough to pin up to my chest and more i’m drawing blood
i need a fucking army look around and darlings you’re enough
awful stuff pull the plunger back and now you’re drawing up
testosterone or something else underwhelmed but fuck it helps
a bossa nova bumping ever under weather but it’s else
a plaster on a sucking wound half of all my fucking tunes
are hard to make but fucking true aftermath it’s fucking you
again mistakes and other news and scars and there’s no other you
no none of you replaceable i’ll keep on my wake-up call
a life spent putting fires out with nobody who’s saving yours
this can’t go on it shouldn’tve half so long it couldn’t have after
one thing happened god it wouldn’t have lasted what it shouldn’t have started
it’s carving chunks out of my head i would’ve prefered it didn’t
it’s starting to be much harder to see i could’ve predicted this and
it’s agony lately had to sustain the pain i’m happily waiting
it can’t go on it can’t go on it can’t go on it can’t
it can’t go on it can’t go on it can’t go on it can’t
i can’t go on i can’t go on i can’t go on i can’t
for i am one who can’t go on i can’t go on i can’t
but i’ve begun to write a song there’s nothing done so i’ll go on

sweater weather

summer’s over put your shades away and face today
shanah tovah now the fall is falling faster every day
leaves are ochre paper pavements papiér maché
their sombre sober morbid corpses litter bridleways
the idle days slipped right away i wanna spit a eulogy
for summer days in clouds of haze still blazing through the stupor see
i’m stupidly nostalgic for a stagnant state of stasis
but i’m due to be without it so i’ll bag the grade and make it
to the past again and laugh it’s hard again but we were harder then
hearth and home nothing i wouldn’t give again to be with them
back now just gone the town has rung the bells the war has ended
so what’s just begun is peace i guess but how the fuck am i supposed to spend it
head distended, tried to bend the rules rent them instead
it’s neverending, i regret it’s true yet i don’t get it
heaven-sent this is my message every letter alphabetic
bet it’s better than the ever-changing wetter weather
it’s sweater weather
get your vest, now we’re getting better
it’s sweater weather
get your friends now we’re getting better
but even with the leaves and rain i strive and strain to claw back portions
of a portrait of a summer scene but all proportions are distorted
the autumn all-commanding awe-inspiring awful courses
through the halls and doors and all in all i’m torn apart by horses
these forces order me they’re fucking me it’s fucking sordid
or did all the orbs in orbit talk and get my fucking sorted
fucking autumn bloody nora i’ll ensure your memories
of summer storms and warmth replace the fall’s endorphin elegies but
there’s not that much a mind can stand to sweep under the rug
and i should know my sweepings fill a barber’s floor up twice as much
i should go my weeping’s still a harder flaw to try and cover
i’d rather go to sleep but i’m doing shit and why
another autumn’s come i’m awful glum i grit my teeth and bear it
so adore your lover gnaw the summer spit the seeds and swear
it’s going great i’m going sane i’m showing stages 1 through 5
but into rain i go i’m gaining though i’ll make it just in time for winter

least fuckin wanted by the CID
gotta be fuckin honest of my deeds unclean
there are few we promise that are really awful
there’s a few been profitable none are unlawful
so bait i could blaze up an eighth in the station
raising a haze made of grade and some patience
blatantly raging at baker street bacon patently traitorous pagans
a grimy limey you can try me if you're likely
i like a fight me i'm kinda slight but nice and wiry
lithe and lively don't shanghai me fight politely
cause i'm kind and kindly i’m highly trying come and try me
yeah i’m new to this so go find someone new to diss
cos my youthfulness does not imply i’m stuperid
cos my stupidness has nothing much to do with this
oh well i guess i’m doing this i don’t know what i’m doing shit
i gotta break the law before the law can break me
i'm gonna make a chorus that's inordinately
catchy they can't catch me i'm a nause to chase me
too gorgeous to be caught my man the law just aint me
i'm a neerdowell but i'm doing good
gonna bear through hell like i knew i would
i’d like to be abiding but unfortunately
i gotta break the law before the law can break me
i don’t wanna front but i don’t know what i wanna do
i don’t gotta front when the front i front is fuckin true
i’m a loose woman loose cannon new hoodlum cute madam
do gooder true bad’un oxymoron knew that’un
go home after this and i’m no virgin to perversion
fuck boys off of grindr fuckboys on my burner
fucktoys in my boudoir yin yang i’m a yearner
click clack wearing prada click bang get a burner
this track’s a palaver mismatched and uncertain
what exactly you’re after this that or the third’un
keep twitching the curtain if you catch me you’re the first’un
this yat’s getting started tell them rahh int she a hard bitch
but she raps like a Starkid can you parse it she’s an art kid
and it’s apt to be large-ish not too far it’s a bizarre trick
and this gang isn’t narcing not in our midst or we’d carve him
a new one tell him do one where are you son this is 0121
i'm about a bit, i'm not very road and my bars are shit
i'm about a bit of fun a few notes and the art of it
i'm allowed a bit of money you know but I can't admit
i'd rather be allowing it and honey you know that i can't commit
i been some places seen some shit and done it too
some i couldn't say not even if i wanted to
and some i couldn't not say something i gotta do but
what it's worth i'll say my shit i just can't guarantee it's true
i gotta break the law before the law can break me
i'm gonna make a chorus that's inordinately
catchy they can't catch me i'm a nause to chase me
too gorgeous to be caught my man the law just aint me
i'm a neerdowell but i'm doing good
gonna bear through hell like i knew i would
i’d like to be abiding but unfortunately
i gotta break the law before the law can break me
