1.	the box of matches with a tiger on the front 02:13	lyrics	buy track
the most jealous i have felt in my whole life was over a box of matches there was a tiger and a goddess to guard them and they were as long as my fingers. and now i am going back home to the dark welcoming me with such comforting arms yet there are no candles or sticks of incense for me to light (with lighters i stole or matches i yearned for) and so it is just as well that i never had those matches for i would have struck some for no reason at all. they would have burned without purpose i would have happily wasted them so maybe i was really jealous of needing the matches of necessity i am surrounded by things i desired but had no true function for
2.	from this day on i will only communicate in extremes 03:16	lyrics	buy track
from this day on i will only communicate in extremes a book of a diary of a huge commitment in prose in my favourite pen filled with ink from my favourite inkwell or in conversations in the dark we won’t _ look at each other, just stand very close from this day on i will write love letters to strangers and fabricate our whole romance fantasies of what could have been but never will and then i shall never get to know them even at all out of fear of being completely wrong, or worse slightly right and still it never will my love letters will be kept in a box on the top shelf or under my bed lush and full-bodied and completely false and with a craft knife i will slice the most spectacular pieces out of these romances and stick them onto card with glitter glue work them into my bedroom tunes taken from their context so they are so they are falsity in its highest and best and yet they are me in my highest and best

about

these are not songs; they are pieces of time i wrapped in affection and reverb.

i will never get over how much love there is to be loved and how much beauty there is to be found and this music is about me when i am not at my kindest but that doesnt mean it isnt real

(this is the strangest day ive ever had and i just wanted these to be found while they were still relevant because i might just be changed forever sometime soon)
