I tried my best to give it all
the romance on romance format for more effort
but she says "why can't you try harder to give me the things I want, not the things I need?"
why waste another night, looking into each others eyes
when I can just stare, at my Instagram.
No more, roses or chocolates
No more kisses or white wine
what would be a better time without your, stupid f**king things.
Roses are red ,violets are blue
I've got a gun, so get in the van.
Why do I put up with this bullshit, I know how much I don't need this
For years I put up a strong mask of porcelain concern without so much as a hug back.
she wonders why you can't be better,
she wonders why you can't be perfect, but perfection does not exist so get your mind outta here.
No more magic or flowers
No more dancing to David bowie
what would be a better time without you, so I wouldn't feel lonely.
Roses are Red, Violets are blue.
I've got a gun so get in the van.
No more, romantic comedies
where the lonely people always get the beauty queens
I tell you it's all hypocrisy, part of valantines' media comedies
Roses are Red!
Violets are Blue!
I've got a gun
so
Get in the van!
Happy
Febuary 14th
Happy Valantines day.
BANG!

Fuck Cancer

I've seen a million people, fight this disease
one that grows inside us, and one yet till defeat
it grows in different parts of the body, the body and mind
and it's destroyed whole families, and beautiful friends of mine.
and while I've seen one million pounds of currency and spirit, go into tackling this, with so much effort
and yet it keeps on seeking and taking us by surprise
ands some days I'm so riled up I cannot sleep at night
but we are strong people, this thing is our foe
we must unite together so it doesn't kill anymore
and we all fight like tireless heroes, with one idea in our heads.
to smite this heartless bitch, from every hospital bed
I say
Fuck Cancer
seen millions of lives, fight and half do fail
with millions of campaigns, fight and fair do well
but at this point I must say : we must try harder!
get every person, biologist and singer-songwriter
get this bastard kicking, and screaming through the streets
and let this nations legacy to have defeated this foul beast
but I'm not talking here, but from all over the world
from the dusty streets of Bolton, to all over the earth
I've seen millions look up, in hope and despair
but now we are stronger, fiercer and prepared
so lets make this century, one to be remembered
by ridding the C- word and fight this cause of hurt
I say
Fuck Cancer
let us fight, let us breathe and let our hope be believed
that cometh the day, that we will as say that
we will not die in vain, all though we will
not, we will not die from this cancerous fuck up
we will all hi, we will all ho
we will cheer like heroes, from the mighty earth below
and when we are heroes, we will have the fine feast
to know that our great legacy is to defeated this foul beast
well I've seen a million people fight this disease
one that grows inside us, and one yet to defeat
it grows in different parts of the body, the body and mind
and it's destroyed whole families and beautiful friends of mine
and all though it gets ugly, but with so much effort
and yet it keeps on seeking and taking us by surprise
and some days I am so riled up I cannot sleep at night
but we are people, we all have the might, we all have the might
we will say this alive
yeah, I have seen a million fight and fair do well
I've seen millions of campaigns, fight and fair do well
I want to make this, the greatest masterpiece
of everyone's tragedy, that I have ever seen
let us fight, let us breathe and let our hopes be believed
let us fight so easily, cause though I've seen one million
ways to crush bacteria, of this heartless bitch I see
I will fight, I will forge, these two word that I know hope will
follow the cause, to rid this hurt of family
to follow the cause, that rids the hurt of families
I say
I will fight, I will forge, I will make this more and more
I will fight, forge, make this more and more
and these two words, you hear are the greatest thing I will ever say
Fuck Cancer

Death to Selfies
02:57
|

I get this trend, but I hate the word
learn proper grammar for this fucking verb
it makes no sense, to call it this
but I'm not hypocritical cause I get the point
lets face it, we all have social media
taking pictures of yourself so people can see you
but I don't get it, the word and the accessories
the word and the accessories look like a sex toy
the word and the accessories look like a fucking sex toy
Death to Selfies
I know I'm not trendy, I know I'm not cool
but this self conscious attitude is the topic at school
so you take out your phone and you flip it around
that's the problem that I have found
when I hear this word on every youth
I bet that's why education is a fluke
it sounds like a pun and it's getting me down
I'd rather work on a song or watch some TV
it's in my face, it's in my eyes
it gives me headaches when I sleep at night
if it was a person, then I wish it would die
double barrel to the knees and then it would cry
and some people look at me like I'm a freak
with the big square glasses and the bad yellow teeth
but this song's about a word, the only word I know
the word I wish would vanish off the straight earth- go
if you know this word, you better sing along
it sounds so wrong to me
I'd rather read Cooper-Clarke or watch some TV
and if it was a person, I wish it would die
Anvil to the head, so then teenagers would cry
DEATH
TO
SELFIES!
(death to selfies)

Empire of Notebooks
08:55
|
|||
My last wish, is that my empire falls with me
My last wish, is that all the notebooks I've written
burn with contempt, and irony
from people in revolutions, to failures of themselves
to compromise the contradictory
without nature, will they welt
my empire fell with the last days
my dreams, is for all those wrong, to pay
of all my notebooks, to all my friends
all of you will break within the grasp of me
enough of that contemptuous bullshit
I cannot smash with all my might
and I wont fall until I fight
and all my last wish came to me
and all my last wish, came to me
my empire is so large
walks around and follows me home
I can't smash will all my might
the pillars of the mighty fall
will fall with me
who's the role model, who takes the blame
my empire, my empire, fell with the last days
my empire, my empire, fell with the last days
my call to the wild
stereotyped of prejudiced denial
all my life, all my life
this will follow me, bury me, make me whole
follow me, bury me, make me whole again
my call to the wild
stereotyped of prejudiced denial
my queen, if I was one
I would distribute the riches, to the wronged ones
from all my writings, to all my desires
the forthright is that all the liars will learn
from all my writings, to all my desires
I will not live
with me anymore
my empire, my empire, fell with the last days
my empire, my empire, fell with the last days
my dream of this place, gone and burned with all the notebooks
gone with the blue doors, gone with the white ones
gone with the blue doors, gone with the white ones
the red door will not open for me
in the boxcars
in the waiting room
my last wish, is that my empire falls with me
from all the notes I've cultivated, burn with irony
from people in revolutions, failures of themselves
compromise the contradictory
without nurture, will they welt
My empire, my empire fell with the last days
my empire, my empire fell with the last days
I am the liar, I am the fake, when will my empire finally break
I am the liar, I am the fake, when will my empire finally break
I am the liar
I am the fake
when will my empire
finally break

Pretty Girls

you don't need this wear this
spend thousands on image that you don't need
but peer and media makes you believe
you don't need make up, your made up
your beautiful
this fake beauty bypass
a fake mask, to fake your smile
I understand, just a dab
or a smack of lipstick
but you don't need to go around
looking like a sex object
unless it's Halloween
or looking like siouxsie and the banshees
or going for tribal paint
but this kind of tribe is a bunch of fakes
you don't need this
I'm just saying your beautiful
just the way you are
you don't need make up, your made up
you beautiful
you don't believe me then that's fine
it's just what I think
I believe you don't need this
unless your going for a geisha
I believe you don't need this
you never, ever will
you're already pretty
pretty girls
pretty, pretty girls
you don't need this
spend thousands on image that you don't need
but peer and media makes you believe
you don't need make up
your made up, your beautiful
this fake beauty bypass
a fake mask, to fake your simile
you don't believe me
then that's just fine, it's just what I believe
that you don't need this
you never ever will
you don't need make up
your already pretty
pretty, pretty
your already, your already
pretty,
pretty girls

Hi, Blake Bolton, UK
Hi, I'm Blake.
I started writing solo acoustic songs back in 2015 after a lot of my bands finished and developed a
fondness for intimate acoustic shows; however without the clichés of modern teenage sognwriting of love and hopelessness and blah, blah, blah so I wrote songs about my frustration towards romcoms, girls who wear too much makeup and the word "selfie"
thanks for reading and have fun!
