Something for the Numb 03:21
lyrics
The world is made of paper I can fit it in my fist Start a fire with it later They’ll find another leader Who won’t fix the problem either Remind myself to breathe I’ve been stuck for ages Seven wardrobe changes On this train for ages Trying to get off All my friends are famous Losing them to strangers All the world's a stage Why don’t we get off I need, something, something for the numb I need, something, something, something, something I can’t see who you’ve become I need, something, something, something, something Nothing ever changes If you can’t trust strangers Pure rage at that age See how they turn up Facing all their faces Filling up the spaces Riding on their wave Gave me reason to wake up I need, something, something for the numb I need, something, something, something, something I can’t see who you’ve become I need, something, something, something, something It looks an ounce but it feels a ton I need something, anyone?

Silver Buttons 02:47
lyrics
They call her divine She’s got them dancing like they’re making a sacrifice They’re calling her fierce Sharpening the points beside her eyes I can not decide If I wanna be her or I want to make her mine Look in my eye Maybe I’ll see you on the other side Have you seen her dressed in black? With silver buttons on her back? Like breadcrumbs leading down a track Are silver buttons on her back On her back What have I done? Just learned to walk and now you need me to run I’m on the face of the sun Counting down your buttons one by one Girl how do you do it.. Can you walk me through it? (x5) Girl how do you do it.. Can you walk me? Run Have you seen her dressed in black? With silver buttons on her back? Like breadcrumbs leading down a track Are silver buttons on her back On her back Walk Walk Walk Walk Walk Run Have you seen her dressed in black? With silver buttons on her back? Like breadcrumbs leading down a track Are silver buttons on her back On her back Walk Walk Walk Walk Walk Run

Trick 03:18
lyrics
I’ve been here before Staring at the wall It wasn’t the first time My feet lift off the floor There’s always something more It’s sublime I just feel fine It’s like Miss Clavell felt waking up in the night Singing ‘something is not right, something is not right’ She can’t say how and she can’t say why But something is not right I’m having a moment Coz I’m lost in reason, left in rhyme I’m taking a moment On autopilot override I’m having a moment Coz nobody sees when the sun’s too bright I’m taking a moment It’s just a trick, it’s a trick of the light I’m a tourist in a land I’ll never understand Writing a guidebook Imprinted on my eye Are mountains and the sky And suddenly I’m shook It’s like Miss Clavell felt waking up in the night Singin ‘something is not right, something is not right’ I can’t say how and I can’t say why But something is not right I’m having a moment Coz I’m lost in reason, left in rhyme I’m taking a moment On autopilot override I’m having a moment Coz nobody sees when the sun’s too bright I’m taking a moment It’s just a trick, it’s a trick of the light I look so small So easily broken The higher I go so far below I’m a drop in the ocean I’m having a moment Coz I’m lost in reason, left in rhyme I’m taking a moment On autopilot override I’m having a moment Coz nobody sees when the sun’s too bright I’m taking a moment It’s just a trick, it’s a trick of the light

California Paper Doll 04:20
lyrics
I found out too late Just indicate That would be great That would be great No numberplate Private estate I can’t relate I can’t relate I am a paper doll And I'm not cut out for this I am a paper doll And I'm not cut out for this I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die in California Every day’s a ride Don’t say I didn’t warn ya I’m blinded by the lights By the lights of California I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die in California I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna die Goody two shoes Don’t make the news Nothing to loose Nothing to prove Split me in two Take half with you Don’t make me choose Don’t make me choose I am a paper doll And I'm not cut out for this I am a paper doll Not cut out for this I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die in California Every day’s a ride Don’t say I didn’t warn ya I’m blinded by the lights By the lights of California I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die in California I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna die If we bring a little joy into your humdrum lives It makes us feel as though our hard work Ain’t been in vain, ain’t been in vain, ain’t been I am a paper doll And I'm not cut out for this I am a paper doll I am not cut out for this I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die in California Every day’s a ride Don’t say I didn’t warn ya I’m blinded by the lights By the lights of California I don’t wanna die I don’t wanna die in California I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna die I don't wanna die in California California

Jonesing Melbourne, Australia

Ascend to Jonesing’s airy world of silky-voiced electropop. Self-produced and written, her songs are cooled with classically- trained vocals and warmed by earthy textures, strings and synths. After launching her debut EP Paper Doll in 2021 (formerly Rosie Jones) she’s matured her sound into a purer expression of her Celtic and European background. ... more
