Track Name: Chekhov's Hangnail: Well I’ve never been any good at poetry,
And I, stumble over words from time to time,
Tempted by a hangnail, I once flayed my middle finger,
Butchered cuticles, stain the page like wine,
Count the digits. How unsuitable are mine?

When it rains,
Well it really fucking pours,
And we made waves,
But did my screaming drown out yours?
Now here we are,
Mixing metaphors,
And sometimes it might seem like we lost the battle,
But if no one wins the war then why keep score?

Everything is mediocre,
I’m bored and nothing satisfies,
An existential crisis mixtape,
On repeat until I die,
Left decomposing on the floor,
This routine’s awful for my posture,
Still looking round for something more,
Sure that I’d lost you.

It might seem like we lost the battle, but if no one wins the war, then why keep score?
Track Name: Six Men Getting Sick Six Times (Mendable): When we met I wasn’t on my game,
I’ve been called a lot of things I’m not ashamed to say,
Things like “Too political”, “Hyper cynical”,
But “kind of funny” felt okay,
It’s a blur back in the early days,
But the feelings keep on coming like the crashing waves,
In the sunny section, looking for affection,
Who needs Tenerife when we’ve got Whitley bay?

Oh my heart, I try to keep it open,
Oh my heart, I try to keep it full,
There’s a world outside where I feel so broken,
But you make me feel mendable.

Cursing trophies at the Bernabau,
That Lynchian exhibit really freaks me out,
There were sirens wailing, six men ailing,
I feel like throwing up right now,
We watched movie, if I’m not mistaken,
Johnny Clay portrayed by Sterling Hayden,
Stick-up at the races, chiaroscuro faces,
Who needs heroes anyhow?
