lyrics

Conversation ends and then repeats
With you my dearest of brothers
From a side that draws
The very blood from your lips
With a sorrow you never heard
From a doorway you love to call your own
Though I’ve carved my name where you stand

When we pretended with our cowboys in mime
You said the sky had twisted through my head
I was always scrambling upon my feet
Forever in change and laced with seasons
I would only ever be able to play dead
Somehow I just believed you

Now you say I’ve been starved and bled
With a poison so familiar you call a friend
I’ve been fooled by the weight of a rolling dice
That only ever landed in mid-air
Why did you believe it had crashed at their feet
Like an empire exploding to life

I saw monsoon rains behind the waters of your eyes
That if you let go you’d crumble to the floor
From that very same side you argued with me
That it was only me that was blind
Now can you see there are no sides
Just two worlds that need to collide

So come now why can’t you talk about it
Now it’s your scar needing words
When an arrow heading for someone one else’s pain
Suddenly came storming for you
From hands that could not feel to grieve
As your fear declares it’s still immune

I watch you walk away into a breathless fog
The fog you believe I pulled from my mind
I’ve no reason to mystify or throw death a wound
When there’s so many wounds still alive
I just needed you to come stand here with me
To feel the dawn fading through my mind
In the way that I know to stand there with you
When your bird gets thrown from the skies

With lines like ‘Fingerprint my mind for evidence’ and ‘I’ve been fooled by the weight of a rolling dice that only ever landed in mid-air’. These songs aren’t lighthearted tunes, but ones that draw you into the heart and soul of who we are underneath our disguises. ... more
