Silky Sawdust

Im hollow like the trees,
it would be easy to log me
im swayin gin the wind
but im swaying really calmly
for I feel like Ive never quite felt right
And if i was a lake Id be empty of water
and if if was a though id be one you never though of
im chiseled from the cold, you are warm and silky sawdust
Its 31 degrees
but im icy you can feel me
touch upon my skin
and ill make your finger freeze
for I feel like Ive never quite felt right
And if i was a lake Id be empty of water
and if if was a though id be one you never though of
im chiseled from the cold, you are warm and silky sawdust

We Shivered

Outside was freezing
zero degrees and
So we faced the freezing cold
and we shivered and we told
stories from when we were not this old
And we drank the coldest beer
and got colder round the ears
and you told me not to ever fear
We laughed like children
our drink kept chillin

Eva's Track

Instead of cutting off
Eva's track lets go back
there was a small incline
lets walk it and see what we find
where the fuck are we walking?
I couldnt care less, stop talking
listen for the water falling
its the sound of content calling
even if we shut our eyes,
she'll guide us, no noise no lies
Eva got blocked off so I
wlaked her till my feet grew tired
The water is so clear here
take a drink after you beer
there was a bird in the reeds
rustling looking for seeds
there was a bilby eating
I like the way its away breathing
If you look outside this evening
you will find me tired sleeping

The sun we saw was golden
we blinked and it was frozen
i know we should have told them
we didnt really reall know then
The sun we saw was golden
we blinked and it was frozen
i blinked again and you were no where
maybe vanished or were stolen
I was lost waiting for you to, come and find me, whered you get to?
I held my breath and i turned blue, i suffocated thinking of you
But i rose back up and i, layed there crying to the sky
The sun we saw was golden
we blinked and it was frozen
just alone i become cold and
youre popular, i hope you know them

I dreamt we were falling down
a well and we had hurt out crown
and after though about te town
and how we need to get right out
Were we so astonished that really we couldnt even speak
i was choking up i think choked up both for you and me
did they even look out side all at the sky and birds and sea
maybe we think differentlymaybe that the way it should be
Foolish and so in doubt
the people stumbled about
they were so short of sight
why do they sleep at night?
why do they sleep at night?
why would you sleep at night?
everyone sleeps at night
When your out of the light

Bilby NSW, Australia
Bilby takes the universally human and wraps it in the quintessentially Australian. His fresh sound subverts the Aussie Hip
Hop status quo, injecting a tenderness to the genre without compromising on swagger.
"A Genius.." - Triple J
“…equal parts catchy left-field hip-hop silliness and striking poignancy, echoing the frustrations of young adulthood much more than first appears.” – Rolling Stone
