Not this time

Put your foot down, I’ll be the roadkill
6 foot deep but I won’t keep still
I run so hard I forget how to wait
You run for the hills
and forget to take a brake, that’s right
You jump, I fall
onto my face
We both go forth
in opposite ways
– well not this time, not this time
I’ll wait for the gun with an open mouth
Watch your fingers forget how to count
I sleep so hard I forget how to fight
but I live so hard I forget how to die,
yeah that’s right
I’m lost, you’re found
every day.
You see god and I lose count
in every way
– well not this time, not this time
You jump, I fall
onto my face.
I walk in and you walk out
every day
– well not this time, not this time

I know.
Dark woods, hard ground
I walked this way.
I hoped
the moon would come down
and clean the slate.
I told myself to get lost (uh-oh)
so I could get back on course (uh-oh)
Woah
What have you done that’s sooooooo good?
I know
it was the one, the key.
The things that I lose the most
are those I really need.
I threw my whole self into the hole.
The air was getting thin but
at least
someone was escaping.
Woah
What have you done that’s soooooooo good?
Yeah, stay in you tree
watch from afar
and wait for the fall
cuz yeah, you know it all.
Yeah stay up all night
cuz you don’t wanna come down.
What’s wrong with being wrong sometimes?
Woah
What have you done that’s soooooooooo good?

Tusks

Got sharp, sharp teeth but I’ve got no reason to bite.
Got a heart-shaped box but there’s nothing inside.
Got muscle, bone but i’ve got no reason to grow
Like a house on fire, no reason to run.
The catch is never as good anyway.
I’ve got time to kill but not to waste.
Come down and help me understand it.
I see the moons but not the planets.
Come fill me in, I’m losing blood
and all this thick skin has only made me numb.
I’m in a hot room packed with the feel of a dog whistle.
Time to change the battery in the alarm.
And then I see them loving the chase:
Gazelles alive in running away.
You’re the bullet from an elephant gun, you’re the reason to run.
You’re the split in the sky and I’m ready to learn.
Come down and help me understand it.
I see the moons but not the planets.
Come fill me in, I’m losing blood
and all this thick skin has only made me numb.
Come down and help me understand it.
I’ve built a world with nothing inside it.
Come take these bones and
let me break down into the ground where I can feel it all.

Blue lighted away

Friday night, another week down
and still I can’t get to sleep.
Another year, another fire drowned
and still I can’t get to sleep.
When the silence comes
no words, no lies
I’ll be damned if I
can get to sleep tonight.
I’ve blanketed the daylight noise
and still I can’t get to sleep.
I’ve taped up my ears and eyes
and still I can’t get to sleep.
When the silence comes
in the shape of night
I’ll be damned if I
can get to sleep in the
blue light, blue light
I’ve shut the windows, locked the doors
and still I hear it in the trees.
I’ve shut it down and switched it all off
and now I smell smoke.
When the silence comes, singing its last song
I’ll be damned if I can get to sleep in the
blue light, blue light
You know there’s a door always open
it starts with a crack
you can’t put your finger on it
but you know it’ll fill your room
with that blue,
blue light.

Slurry

Slurry
in your face
on your plate
did you see it come?
Slurry
of space
pulverised stars
tearing you apart
Don’t look now.
Woo.
It’s like getting mugged with your feet in the television
(don’t look now)
Change spinning round in the washing machine
(slurry)
Woo.
Don’t look now

No need to take notes
No need to give it thought
No need to make it add up
No need to fix it
No need to work it out
No need to let it get to you
cuz when you feel something
when you feel something
you just know
it’ll all be over soon
it’ll all be over soon
No need to get lost
pretending you’re still here
cuz no-one’s looking anyway
No need to set it off
no need to cause alarm
cuz no-one’s listening anyway
cuz when you feel something
when you feel something
you just know
it’ll all be over soon
it’ll all be over soon
it’ll all be over soon
it’ll all be over soon
but then I feel something
I feel something
Don’t you feel something?
I feel something
Ah no I feel something
Don’t you feel that something.
I feel something
Ah no I feel something
Don’t you feel that something?
I feel something
I feel something
Don’t feel that something
cuz it’ll all be over –
