Flinch when I write your name
Those words will never look the same
They're all jumbled up because my eyes can hardly see
A blur of our toxicity
My tears are running down your cheeks
But I have grown and I need it to show
You're laid out at my feet
Your sorry face never looked so sweet
And I miss you even when you're around
I'm sorry to sing this sorry song
But there's just no telling how long
If ever, I'll get to make you laugh when your world is upside down
Call me another day please
Call me another day please
Call me another day please
Call me another day please
Took your time, a bit too slow
Well my day it ended days ago
I left us at the shore where we belong
Dropped me like a winning card
You turned away and walked so far
That I could hardly recognise your face
And as I always do
I held my breath to wait for you
To draw me in, but the waiting took too long
And now you trundle back
But I filled my life in lack of you, babe
I'm afraid that I moved on.
Call me another day please, call me another day please
Ask me another day please, ask me another day please
Ask me a year ago please, ask me a year ago please
Let go, and let me go please, let go let me go please
Go now, leave me alone please, go now leave me alone please
But
Ask me another day please, ask me another day please.

I run I run I run
Away from the sun
What have I become?
Astray the night and the day
I'm on my way
But I won't stay
Mmmm I can't stay
The web the mist and the dew
Entangled in you
You never quite new
The feelin' of my shoes
I didn't mean to let you in so far
I crashed and burned
Your tracks, my car
The road it leads
The lines it leaves
Eyes shut to the blur
I shed my fur
Our arms unfurl
My body curls
You're teasing girl
Come home and shower it off
My feet in the moss
You're joining the dots
I know it's gunna be raw
My knees are so sore
You've done this before
You've left a hole in my chest
The puncture a mess
I knew it was best
To leave you to rest
So slam the door on your feet
This darkness is sweet
I feel your defeat
You're begging me please stay
Please stay
Please stay
And I knew that you would chew me up
And I wish your kiss wasn't so vulnerable
And we sway in time and I release my mind
To a wolverine
She's sweet: she's mean
Treat 'em sweet: keep 'em keen
You never did see
Your destruction in me
You never did see
Your destruction in me
I shed my fur
Our arms unfurl
My body curls
You're teasing girl

Upon the hill you drew a map of a life we'd have somehow
I've still got the paper, I thought it would be over by now
And sure love lasts, yeah, sure love lasts
And sure pain lasts, yeah, sure pain lasts
I wish it wouldn't last it wouldn;t last it wouldn't last
By now it shouldda past it shouldda past it shouldda past
Break me down slowly
Cause lovin' for me is some kinda holy
It kinda feels like you came, left, and stole me
Took my gold, girl I'm not whole, but I've been told, y'no
it's kinda rock and rolly
We couldda gone, we couldda gone, we couldda gone places
We couldda got, we couldda got, we couldda got naked
We couldda kissed, we couldda kissed for ages
I couldda learnt, I couldda learnt not to fake it
I couldda lay, I couldda lay with you only
Out on display out ,on display with my whole body
We couldda tried, we couldda tried but I don't think you really want me
All I want, all I want is someone to hold me
Gimme some time to rest my body
Drink some wine and shrug it off me
Get some sleep and dream of you all over me
Wake up, wake up, drink my coffee

Move, tell me I don't gotta stay
Soon, there's gotta be another way
Of talking to each other
Tell me what you're gunna say
Then think about your Mother
What would she have to say?
You sexist mother fucker
Your mouth so dirty
Have you ever had a lover?
Get on your knees and pray.
Queen, I stand with my legs out wide
Reveal, the power I stash inside
I'm in my fuckin' prime
With a woman by my side
The time it seems to slide
Gathering speed with time
I'm sorry, did I overshare?
Is it cause she has long hair,
Something that you can't bare?
Are you terrified that you're gunna have to share?
Scared you're gunna end up on the shelf?
Doctor! Doctor! Can you check his mental health?
And while we're there... can you check mine too?
Cause woman, I think I'm falling for you.
I think I'm falling for you
I think I'm falling for you
I think I'm falling for you

Away we go
Then safety stay
These restless fears
A-congregate
You smoke to speed up
I smoke to breath
You take my breath away
Every time I see you
I see her
Forget the way I knew her
Since we first met
My stomach churned
You'd think by now I
Surely might have learnt
My mind's a mess with
How it could unfurl
Turns our I'm simmering
Upon another girl
SHOW ME HOW FAR WE'LL RUN
STRAIGHT DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN
I'm on the hook
Been here for days
If you've read the book
Please, can you turn the page?
Maybe it's different
Probably the same
Still love for me, historically
Has been full of pain
But isn't it the same for every stranger?
Why do we insist on this insane behaviour?
And I trip upon my own undoing
Each day I'm living
SHOW ME HOW FAR WE'LL RUN
STRAIGHT DOWN HE BARREL OF A GUN

Throw away the witches
We always knew, they'd chase us through
The night, I'm all for listening
My teeth upon desire
To shine just like the others
they come, they go
They know, they know something
Eyelashes like whispers
Again I lost my friend, myself
And may I wash the dishes?
The plates may take my sins away
The give and take indifference
Shaped into squares,
Concrete and bare
But you were always different.
Shining,
These blades of the sun.
Blinding,
You'll stay and I'll run.
I'm losing my way it seems
In between the black and the green
We're forced to believe
Everything we've seen, seen.
Forced between your ankles
There's a shackle of creed
Long chains of greed
Caught into a tangle
I look between
your feet were clean
It's trash all in a mangle
Veiled and discrete
Scented and sweet
Appears as quite a handful
Maybe I'm the thief
Maybe I'm a bitch underneath?
MAYBE I'M THE THIEF
MAYBE I'M A BITCH UNDERNEATH?
Shining,
These blades of the sun.
Blinding,
You'll stay and I'll run.
I'm losing my way it seems
In between the black and the green
We're forced to believe
Everything we've seen, seen.
Maybe I'm the thief,
Maybe I'm a bitch underneath?
Maybe I'm the thief,
Maybe I'm a bitch underneath?

Take me dancing
Swim in circles
Like the Eagles
Trees are reaching
Down to the ground
Feel my heart pound
Slowly now
Slowly now
Slowly now
Cause generally, well, I believe in honesty and well
Time will teach us how to forget
I'm pretty sure I've heard these words before in thoughts that speak in my mind
And I hear them all the time
Now – shut up
And I look for spaces in-between the branches in their faces this time
and I won't call them mine
or put their bright lights into boxes and label their limits
and we will be what we want to be without even thinking
She's so fearful
Won't go walkin'
Without people
Deep inside that
Hood she's talkin'
Oh so careful
Welcome the silence
It's full of vibrance
I like to dance alone,
so
Take me dancing
and swim in circles
like the eagles
like the eagles

When I was young
I'd hold his hand
Look up beside me
Trust solid he'd stand
Then I got older
And learnt that my skin
Though hers was much colder
Mine is paper thin
You're all files in my folder
And I'll wear you like garments
Your patchwork adores me
Like spring in the garden
And I trusted your words though
They were written not told
And how can another
Be so hot and so cold
How was I so stupid?
To lose it again
That self destruct tangent
That runs straight through my head
I'm so fine on the edge now
And then I slip and slide
Back into the darkness
That I harbour inside
And I wish I was weeping
But I can't even cry
I just play this for hours
Like a loophole in time
Amongst all the flowers
I tread the paths of my mind
Till my fingers are raw
And I'll loop one more time
Now back to the harbour
Where the boats come in slow
I stand without armour
And watch as they go.

I'll wade through the water
Knee deep till my neck's cold
Giant steps and we'll get there
Even if the others have gotta come in tow
Liquid table, I reach across it
Arms out, your fists unfold
Today I'll walk through the water
Body lose despite the cold
She's left you lookin' for another half
Are you satisfied with your broken heart?
Throw a stone, watch it skimming
Skin peels back, I'm skinny dipping,
I hold you close, my mouth mimicking
Seconds melting, but the clock is ticking
And I wish you'd stay (but at a distance)
Now it's getting late (and I insist)
I'm spiritual (and ritualistic)
You're the holiest prayer (I've ever kissed)
I'm a heart breaker
A deep breath taker
They say “watchout!
She's a faker”
I'm so fickle
Made of paper
Left right centre
See you later
My heart it sings for you
In a deep growling voice
There's a question in my body
And she never asks twice
My teeth they grind for you
When we're stood tooth to tooth
I forget that I'm an animal
To tell you the truth

Rona Mac Wales, UK
I write atmospheric Indie-pop songs about things that feel real to me, in hope that they might feel real to other people. I'm from West Wales, I'm 28, I'm gay, and I live in a caravan where I write, record + mix music. If I can talk about things we've been told we shouldn't, and help people connect to feelings they tucked away in their teens, then I'll be happy when I'm old. So I'm giving it a go. ... more
