Silhouettes

Toothless in the summertime
How did I become a silent singer?
A silent voter?
We drew around our silhouettes
On my bedroom wall
My hands were shaking
I felt the night
I numbed into bliss
I fell through the wall
Thick pain on my hands
I'm hoping to find peace in sorrow
A black sparrow sitting on the wall
I know the night
I feel it
Fissure and fall
The cracks in the limit
The holes in the sky are glowering
My oxygen
I need to tell you everything
I need to tell you everything
I numbed into bliss
I fell through the wall
Thick pain on my hands
I numbed into bliss
I fell through the wall
Thick pain on my hands
Truth is beauty
And I see that now
At 3am
I'm always spinning out
British born
But bred by the moon
When I look in the mirror
I see no truth
The past I love so much
Is out of reach

Acceptance
03:51

Have you thought about
Have you really thought about everything?
The way it falls
A headless void
You throat their boots
You throat their boots
They say January is for misery'
Well, it has been for me
Like waking from a dream
A restless fear cuts the sky
Sky
Acceptance of an imperfect situation
Is all I've got left
The lines
On the floor next to my bed
Seem towering, so high
Your cold hands
I used to live in doubt
By your side
I'll let go now I know
Feel the weight
Of their eyes
I leant so hard into the past
I pressed myself into the cracks
You stole a kiss and if I'd known that that was it
I wouldn't have let you go
The storyline that I recite is based on lies
At least I know that now
At least I know
Acceptance of an imperfect situation
Is all I've got left
The lines on the floor next to my bed
Seem towering, so high

Boundless
03:26
|

On the day you were born
We were nothing but floored
Open windows and doors
Boundless worlds in front of us
Colours floating up above
I don't pretend to know
How I fit in this world
Stand alone in a field
With my wife and baby girl
In our garden I'll unfurl
Give myself to foreign lands
Greeting them with open palms
When I was your age
I had my own language
It suited me well
It suited me well
I understand the words that form in your mind
I'm so glad
On the day that you were born
We were nothing but floored
Open windows and doors
On the day that you were born
We were nothing but floored
Open windows and doors

DNO

Another shift to realise
Obscured in bright futures
Sat up straight
In your bed
Hands held out
I thought of you
For the first time in a while
I wonder if you saw
Your son crying in the car
Go tell it on the mountain
Or the rooftops just below
Of your past lives
And the sins that you commit
Don't carry it with you
For the ceiling you will hit
For the fruit you bit
I was crushed by the grief
A crow had landed at my feet
Jean died a week ago
And life moved on
I haven't cried yet
That carpark by the school
Lets burn it to the ground

Let Him Go
03:28

Let him go
I know
It doesn't feel natural
But it's time
To move on
Make believe it's in the air
Between the notes
Between the breath
As I walk down up the stairs
I remember it all
She was ill
She could barely walk
Throwing up
Every day
We dug a hole
So deep
We had to cut out the roots
Every bird in the sky
Flies by for us
So high
But I know you're not looking
Anymore
Let him go
I know
It doesn't feel natural
But it's time
To move on

One Blade of Grass
05:06
|

You are as clear as the weather
It's so foggy outside
The centre of England
In no mind
Leading with love
I didn't ask for this
I gave up everything for respect
But what I really wanted was love
Can you see the mountains walking?
The reflection of the light?
One blade of grass
Our love is just one blade of grass
And I don't want anybody else
I see, maybe for the first time
A child
Traumatised
I'm too tired, too tired to tell you
One blade of grass
Our love is just one blade of grass
I don't want anybody else
Can you see the smoke in the air?
The bark turning red in the light?
Can you hear branches above?
Screaming in the wind
Under the weight
One blade of grass
Our love is just one blade of grass
And I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
