The House Called A Bad Museum

Bad Museum 01:56
Theres a space in the garden I used to bury my pain But I’d rather sit down at the end of the day and talk it through With no one else but you They laid the foundations from shit you collect A couple of broken records Spinning round the deck But one voice rings true It’s you There’s a collection of scars In a trophy case In the house called a bad museum Your struggles just the story You don’t need to add more chapters too Do you really even need them? But they’re a victory There’s a collection of scars In a trophy case In the house called a bad museum

Open 03:24
Lip service for the idiots Who fast forward to the easy bits Cause I still believe in things that I don’t see So colour me dubious When you can’t find no truthfulness No one said you wouldn’t ever dream Not every sentiment is filled with kindness You’ll see it on that twisted road of madness But their right there to pick you up Once you’re all alone You can’t just imagine None of the bad things will happen there’s no ignoring that So be ready to open I can’t carry a thousand Over every passing mountain There’s no ignoring that That’s why I’m ready to open It’s time to blow the candles out Cause up there with your shred of doubt Is strength to break the chain And you’ll finally find that sympathy Right behind your epiphany That brought this hurricane Not every hundredth chance is ever fleeting You’ll see what really gets your still heart beating And their right here to pick you up If you ever feel alone

Habitual 02:52
When life seems upside around You’re in a bind cause of not speaking the language There’s plenty to say, I’m in way Like I’m weighted down by this baggage Why do we take all these bones To each home as we roam Why do we take all these bones From wardrobe to wardrobe It’s so habitual I’m not actually that bad I know what I’ve got and what I had.. Reality’s strange It takes a special kind of person To break this repetitive version It’s time for change Why do we take all these bones To each home as we roam Why do we take all these bones From wardrobe to wardrobe It’s so habitual What brought you down to your knees? What makes it all feel untrue? And Why do feel like the whole damn worlds against you? Why do we take all these bones From wardrobe to wardrobe It’s so habitual Why does it still feel so raw When it shouldn’t anymore?

Up there I kept a secret I never wrote it down Like the map to my own self belief Perhaps I burnt it out Is there a crack Where there use to be some shine? Or a hand that just needs holding Instead of just losing it’s mind So don’t go Throwing it all away Don’t go Throwing it all away I know where you reach out With every single mood The answers not at the bottom But you’ll come to learn that too Cause there’s crack That never will get full So discard all your empties And don’t listen to the pull So don’t go Throwing it all away Don’t go Throwing it all away

Miss You 03:20
It seems silly to say your biggest test life has sent me But I don’t think I was awake until blessed me Every second apart is cutting through my ego Without you I don’t even know where I’d go I talk about how I got to start when I was falling apart As the walls came down all over my heart All that’s left to say is I miss you, I miss you When you don’t have the words You can just listen to the music It’s just whether you chose to go ahead and prove it There’s a risk that could bring you right to your knees But there’s a great big smile just waiting to make memories

Kurt 02:40
You You don’t have a clue What you? You You don’t have a clue Do you? La La la la la La la It’s true All that you do Brings blue You All that you do Brings blue Fake it till you make it in a world full of hate When the lights go down Where does your head go? Where does your head go?
7.
Sincerely Me 03:58
Have you always been such a wreak? Cause I smell the demons on your breath What pain are you trying to hide? Can’t everyone see it in those blurry eyes? When you peak behind the curtain Is the elephant still there? There’s a space for feeling numb And a time you’ll feel scared Every now and then We all point a finger But they don’t bother you anymore Well you need to crawl from beneath your shield The shelter of the heart You can’t expect an overnight fix It’s no mistake to collect your thoughts Sincerely me As you gaze into the water Do you know who’s looking back? Did anyone really get anywhere From burning up the track And for now well all point our fingers But it shouldn’t bother you anymore

So isn’t it evident And at the same point getting rough Choosing your heaven sent Instead of just giving up Never feels too soon , Getting old too soon On the road to recovery , You have to wait and see What is left of you, And what is right with me So go, Through sea, the land, air and space Your broken parts your worst mistakes Then go soul searching Out on the road of discovery There’s promises a new Destruction from the negative But theres an opposite in you So go, so go Though all the smiles you faked to face A higher future or fall from grace Then you go soul searching Through your cold truce and fickle fire Your half arsed heart won’t find desire Unless you go Unless you go Go soul searching

One Desire 02:44
Out of exile My little soul child We just can’t dream our lives away Don’t guess wild My soul child Life is better still when we’re awake We’re awake I tried to reach a place that wasn’t mine But not for a long time And every time my heart sinks alittle deeper Down Sometimes it’s like my mind won’t let me out Like I’m swimming in this sea While I’ve been chasing Dreams already belonging to me Hush-a-by baby on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
Down tumbles baby, cradle and all. That one desire Nearly set my world on fire

All I want is to add more colour To this beautiful life Cause I once knew how to paint it All over mine There’s a smile when things are bleak There’s a peace I was trying to seek I'm the hole in the roof on a wet weekend I just keep letting it in There’s a beauty in this beast in me Can’t keep questioning Everything Cause you’re never gonna live it All we want is to find a rhythm To all of our lives Cause I might always be searching All over mine There’s a high to beat every low There’s always other routes to go I’m a punk with poets heart that’s true So what about you There’s a beauty in this beast in me Can’t keep questioning Everything Cause you’re never gonna live it
11.
Wolf Pack 02:50
A small part of me believes I’m just a drifter I’ll always float alone in this life I keep throwing my heart right back in so blindly Even when I know their gonna cut it like a knife Oh the wolf pack calls I hear them sing Let things be Or please let me in When you feel like everything you cherish gets broken And the warmest hand is waiting to turn to ice It’s not that you haven’t learnt something of value now But the memories just never taste nice Oh the wolf pack calls I hear them sing Let things be Or please let me in A shot of grief A pint of pain Another trauma that’s just overplayed But you don’t have to pull up a seat if you don’t want to

about

Imagine a place that showcases all the things that made you who you are today.. but not just anything.. all the real stuff…

All these are displayed around the many rooms in any form you see fit..
A painting of your ugly truths
A sculpture of those unwanted scars
A handwritten poem about twisted choices
A trinket hanging on the wall to symbolise the will to change

You can visit but you don’t have to stay
And you don’t have to return
You have that choice

Enter the house called a bad museum
