lyrics

What would you rather me do
Be just like them or but just like you
What should I say
To make these thoughts go away

Cos Melbourne’s getting much smaller
And I’m not getting any taller
Should I smile
Or stay asleep for a little while

Cos I’ve got all my names in all the wrong files
And I’ve got all my skin in all the wrong piles
And i’ve got all this spit in my throat that’s turning into bile

And people like me we’re not anything like you
Despite what you think I don’t wanna be anything like you
You see me I’m just trying to make it through
And people like me

It’s been raining all Summer
I’ve been pulling a runner
Not trying to make things hard
Just trying to get far.. Away

I’ve been getting further away
From wanting to go but don’t want to stay
Cos there’s been too much rain
And I’ve got all my clothes in the back of my car

Despite what you think I’m not trying to make things hard
Cos I got all this fight but you won’t believe me until you see the scars

And people like me we’re not anything like you
Despite what you think I don’t wanna be anything like you
You see me I’m just trying to make it through
And people like me

Oooohhhh

The passion burnt behind my eyes
And time went slow but now it flies
And the edges get a little rougher still
Rage and empathy are numb
Your mind is old but mine is young
But nothing’s ever full until its filled

The men they came with boots and beer
And what they wanted was quite unclear
But they tried to make it white that once was brown

I see them there behind your eyes
the ghost that scratch and then they lie
That haunting feels like healing this far down

And I want it to be simple
But It’s still unclear

And I wanted to be there
But I’m still here

Despite what you think I’m not trying to make this hard
Despite what you think I’m not trying to make this hard

about

Porpoise Spit image

Porpoise Spit Melbourne, Australia

Porpoise Spit generates a stirring brand of rock that merges heartfelt ballads, raucous energy, thrashing guitars and a socially progressive punk spirit. This group of Melbourne mates carve out the best bits of intimate and uncharted, cosy and chaotic. With new music coming out throughout 2023 and a recent signing to local label Psychic Hysteria, it is fast becoming the year of the Porpoise. ... more
