fill up the time that you’ve missed
bury your eyes in a fist
passing rain through while you’re drifting awake
most of nature tries
bought myself a tape
all your chances that you keep for free
by my side leave
keep all the force that you missed
bottle your faults and your fears
i was right there on your phone list
cut off the leg from a death
fished out myself from a ditch
and all your choices that allow you free
disregarding

First Day
03:32
|

in the morning
awoken by the rain
so dimmed by the clouds so often
the last forgotten ray
on your first day
i drove you to the road
and off you walked into a building
something neither of us know

you step into the loft
i feel it when you say
i never wanted all the useless things we take
the lights are turning on
so distant from it all
i swear this time will take
the sound of changing place
and this sinks so calcified
those calluses begin
the last remaining light
is stretched across your skin
decide to sellotape the boxes one by one
i know it’s cold and dull
the sound of changing place
the sound of changing place
the sound of changing

all in a defined state
or so you call it up when it’s time
lost in it drowned by my lines
and it starts howling out at the wind
it’s rough to go if i’d say
everyone calling you out
and you say
calling it up by the window
shredding the time spent follow
following out to bloom
all in a defined space
or so you thought it up when it’s time
lost from it, binding that fire
how it stops folding out in the wind
we’re lost to ground if i’d say
everything walking you down
you say
calling it up by the window
shredding the time spent follow
following out to bloom

resolution taken from me
a flower bloomed beside the lough
buried eyes don’t see anything
i swear to you i’ve got a heart
call it a day 45 ‘til it’s gone
your mind changed from a fear to a song
i’ll try change without death as a chance
offer the pain up to someone else

Into the light
promising never to be terrified
waiting miles and miles
spoke to the fear
leaving it, leaving it to tear down
i could get used to this again
all the pain you’ve pulled through
repelled
they say it’s full
a box of all your fears gone
threw in by the wayside today
given up to all your breath
giving up the loneliness
all for the times
live without something that’s always
pulled you down
taken by surprise
to know here is now
spinning cycles overhead
don’t feel down
it’s just there to tell no
all the pain you’ve pulled through lets go
sleep by the peace lose control

let’s go homeward and settle down
before it falls
sleight of hand reaching out
and now you know
buried deep
in the lines
now you’d hope
left for something
bleeding out
let’s just sit here losing time
before you go
an outstretched hand
on a frostbitten night
this time moves slow
buried deep in the lines
and now you’d hope
left for something
bleeding out
i sit by your side
rain from here to kerry
soaking feet
soaking wet
dissolved again
buried beneath a shade of night that
only august brings
as sun begins to peak amongst the birds
we speak amongst hushed tones
you say “don’t sleep” as your second red bull
depletes
and i realise we’ve driven five hours flat
how long until we see the bridges?
the cats eyes still lit
broken antenna supplies the silence
our feet and heads still wet from the walk
the air conditioning powering through such
a long night shift
it’s like ourselves are the only two awake
there’s been rain since carrauntoohil
but as we reach the fermanagh sign
the sky exposes pink and orange

i see you by the phone box you called in
all the words that you say
i feel close as if you’re here beside me
don’t feel bad to stay
delicate colouring book by your front door
caught in a haze when you call
pointing out all the things that you said
i’ll return to a death
all of which we use as a homepage
cut the line from the desk
delicate reasons to run out of the room
caught up in all that you do
forgetting all of the times we never knew
i’ll be around
i’ll be around
i’ll be around
when it’s not so soon

got the mess off of my head
everyone’s feeling clouded
trace the lines back to your steps
under the lights
call it luck or anything
i don’t know much about it
beat the flesh right off your face
holding hope out
and it goes
and so for the first time heading back to see
recall all the landscapes that go out to sea
out to everything
i’m so scared of feeling bones
underneath the table
clasped my grip and tore it off
as i was sat
lean before my life begins
under this splitting sunlight
trace my eyes back to your steps
now i can find
any more then it’s calling
running back to see
find all the feelings that
could fill it in
calling around here to
assimilate
lean on a whim that’s lead to
everything

i remember when it tore us apart
sleepless in disrepair
all the pain
stopped you when you said
“everyone knows”
how you could fade away, all the pain goes
at the end of the day it will all fall apart
at the end of the day it will all fall down
i returned the tape, bringing offered change
building kits in a box by your bed while i wait
talking while you sleep, it’s like you know
that you could comfort me, trust in some kind of way
at the end of the day it will all fall apart
at the end of the day it will all fall down
