So don’t hold it against me, I’m just reading the signs
Coz your sending me heat waves, That burn out and spark
It’s halfway house, We can live without
It’s a signal tower , Sending doubt
I’ll be honest, I feel the same
Its the scars on our chest plate
It’s the sound in our hearts
It’s the taste of rejection
That’s tearing us apart
First Embrace
It’s been a long time comin
Fall in place
And now you’re running
Like mind games
We keep on playing now
First Embrace
It’s been a long time comin
Fall in place
And now you’re running
Like mind games
We keep on playing now
Its the scars on our chest plate
It’s the sound in our hearts
It’s the taste of rejection
That’s tearing us apart

Foot to the floor, white knuckles on the asphalt it's the
Same route yeah I’m running from the trash talk, spent
Last night in a dark space talking it through
It’s Heavy on my brain, same mistakes, all part of the game
On the fence can you tell me which way to do
Pride on the line just a slave to my ego
Talk it out get it all on the table, wine glass rings and a movie runnin solo
I’m a drift floating every which way tryna work out what my head and my heart say
Outta Phase, tryna get my head straight, mind if I lean upon you.
It’s not the first time sleeping in a spare room
Tossing and turning yeah I’d rather be holding you
The frustration answers to these questions
Focus on the stars and the darkness won't corrupt you
I always wanted you to know, that I wouldn’t be here if I went down that other road
I need to tell you that I know, I’d be someone different If I didn’t know you.

Can you tell me how we all met
drowning sorrows, safe bet
feeling safe and enough
like I’m part of a club of degenerates
Can you remember where that sign went
I’m spaced out in garden shed
singing war all the time
and forgetting the lines like I always did
I can’t remember many of these nights
but I remember those days well
and now we’re all living our own lives
I still wish for the sequel
All I came to be
Made from these memories
and I wouldn’t change a thing
this time meant everything
Can you take me back to Wednesdays
or sinkin pots for 20c
We’re streaking down Box St
Dreams of Anita still in our heads
I remember the first time
Feeling like I had affinity
With like mind people
To save me from my misery
I might be crazy but, I wanna do it again

Yeah I hope you’re well
Do you remember me an empty shell
Is how you left me I remember well
It’s trapped inside but its my shame to tell
No animosity despite the reason why (reasons why)
Like spending every day just trying to survive
It’s all right I’m alive
I spent a long time hiding from myself
Blaming someone else for the way things should have been
So long, lying to myself
Blaming someone else gotta frame this differently
Not standing still, Or waiting for the anvil
To crush me with, your shadow
Still follows in the dark, but I Just got too much spark
I’ll step inside, those iron gates
For the last time no mistake
Spit on the promises you made
Turn my back on all this hate
I’m, severing all ties, I’m choosing the high life
It’s gonna be all right, It’s gonna be fine
I spent a long time hiding from myself
Blaming someone else for the way things should have been
So long, lying to myself
Blaming someone else gotta frame this differently
Help me it's hard to see, where I wanna be
It’s a part of me, talking like a prophecy
I don’t mind and I don’t care
coz things have changed since then
I won’t find the same nightmare
with those who are surrounding me

Dear Max, I hope that one day you will find this
in a record store on Brisbane st
or maybe in a file stored so deep-that-when-you-find it
It's a bolt from the blue,
a reminder of how much that you mean to us
That you are loved, beyond what words could express
and how much you inspire me to better myself
Don't forget, I'll be by your side till the end
If You're hearing this
Know that life is meaningless
Without you in it
And if I’m not around, know that i am proud from a over the clouds
It’s a trap, it’s an emotional rabbit hole
of make believe scenarios flooding my brain
but i wouldn’t change a thing, not for anyone or anything else
Don't forget, I'll be by your side till the end
If You're hearing this
Know that life is meaningless
Without you in it
And if I’m not around, know that i am proud from a over the clouds
From the first time I held you, I wanted to inspire you
To be all that you can be, To be happy to be free
To have your mother's Personality, To cry for all humanity
To shed tears of joy, To laugh and to rejoice
And when the storm clouds Approach, Have the strength to carry on
to not burden the load, without embracing the cold
To keep that smile upon your face, to leave nothing in the race
to let failure inspire you, to fight for surival
In the crux of all my fears, Is that one day I'll lose you
Before I can tell you , How much that I love you
So I wrote you this song, not to dance or sing along
just a final reminder I’ll be loving you, till the end.
