Now We're Here

Sun splits
Off into horizon and it sinks
Far below the surface, could you tell
I was blinded by the strongest rays
Stumbling in the light of you, my haze
-y eyes are yours to keep inside your hand
Got so much to give, long-sighted plans
Soleil soak my skin down to the bone
And you
Made up of the dust and blood and skin
Everything I love, I can’t let in
Everything we see is on our back
Don’t turn round, forget defence, attack
And I know it now we’re here
Cold love
Said you were the sun but something set
Far below the surface and it fed
I was nothing more than ammunite
Donate all my cells with due delight
Made up of the dust and blood and skin
Everything I hate, I let it in
Everything we see is on our back
And I know it now we’re here
Did you lose your mind?
Did you think I’d follow you blindly?

Choke

We choke
On air they’d have us breathe
Tarred lungs
No children left to grieve
Daughters
Lives lost on back streets
Leaders
Unqualified to lead
Are your dreams my dreams?
Don’t dare to dream
Closed eyes
I’ll meet you in the park
Light up
I’ll find something in the dark
Are your dreams my dreams?
Don’t dare to dream
Don’t choke
‘Cause the air they’d have us breathe
Our lungs
Deserve something clean
Are your dreams my dreams?
I dare to dream

Dry

My hands are dry
I haven’t touched you for a long time
My lips are dry
I haven’t loved you for a long time
I don’t want to let you go
But it’s cruel to keep you
I don’t want to let you go
But I still need to leave
I don’t want to let you go
But it’s cruel to keep you for myself
And my light
Lived in the shadow for a long time
Pretend I was already sleeping
When you’d come home at night
I don’t want to let you go
But I don’t want to keep you
I don’t want to let you go
But I still need to leave you
I don’t want to let you know
That I feel like I need you
I’ve been trying for so long
To be here without you

I sit with my back to the sun
And the more I wait, the less it comes
Dragonflies and stone
Underfoot
Where do they belong?
I sit with my back to the sun
And wait for you to come

Cold War
05:30
|
|||
|
We can’t pretend, we can’t forget
The distance grows, but borders met
Your fingerprints have stained my skin
And it’s a cold war, darling
But one you will not win
‘Cause I am stronger than you
I’ve always been
So much older than I ever truly felt
And you tore me, but my arms are not for sale
The land was far, the water deep
Eight miles below, you bury me
As I implode, the vessel sinks
You couldn’t know, damage within
