You forget where you were when you said it
You ask with a grin if you meant it
In our heads where we constantly edit
You forget what you need when you need it
I’m a cold spell, you can’t heat it
You can force but you have to bleed it
You were told to run
You were told to run
You were told to run

Hidden away in a sorry state
In the haar and mist in mourning
The more I find the more the cables wind
If only fear was an option here
Antique the gall with all
The more I know the more my poles divide
I’m in slow motion, slow motion
Turns out I’m broken, on the Dollan wall
Your voice is why I’m thread, your voice is why
Your voice is why I’m thread, your voice is why
Your voice is why
I’m in slow motion, slow motion
Carry us over on your shoulders the wall
Your voice is why I’m thread
Your voice is

Coast with me to increase the chance of us
Help me drown the frequent ‘hand me down’ sentiments
Honestly, as faith goes, under reeds on a sleeper through
Bolts and locks and sulphate
Baseball cards
You’re underweight
When I see you at Hanshin
It’s in the corner of the room
And it’s leaking through the landing of the close
It’s a fact I need you most
When I see you at Hanshin
It’s in the corner of the room
And it’s leaking through the landing of the close
It’s a fact I need you most
When I see you at Hanshin
It’s in the corner of the room
And it’s leaking through the landing of the close
It’s a fact that I need you most
It’s fact I need you most
It’s fact I need you most

Youth ‘was’. It’ll pass us by at lightning speed, 90 degrees
Edit in post me and you, the light and hue, emotional cues
A night away from misery, without any sound I’ve been acting it out
Haul in and you know it’s off
You said you needed me
Haul in and you know it’s done
Haul in and you know it’s off
You said you needed me
Creature of. Hand bitten off, shoulder and jaw, left nothing at all
Attract cult. There’s chalk on your hands from working the land as it turns into sand
Haul in and you know it’s off
You said you needed me
Haul in and you know it’s done
Haul in and you know it’s off
You said you needed me
Haul in and you know it’s done
So meet me then at the downplay Inn
one hour before your pain is due to land
I’ll be over there by the turquoise stairs
I’ll be the one who’s emptier than air
looking pastel full of farewells practicing my lines into the glass
that’s reflecting you

Meet me on the motorway
Bring a bad we’re sleeping sideways
I had steel up to a temple
What desperate, sad example
No, this is not me
It’s not me
This new towns looking older
A paycheque to tide us over
There’s a darkness to this hotel
Now I can hear them in the stairwell
Come on and wash this off your face first
You know I did it for us
This is not me
It’s not me
So face the wall and don’t look back
Because I don’t want you to see that
Just take it all and don’t turn back
Don’t you visit me
But I hope you’ll think of me
Because this is not me
