lyrics

The most lingering of looks
Is lingering much longer
In the time you know it took
The most permanent of sighs

Took refuge in the cheap
Exchange of slim affections
With wide open arms you say
Embrace us

The pavement you know is strewn
With tangible regret
Bottles with heads off predictably vile
Grateful for nothing but the purest of intentions
A candidness seen in your shadowy smile

But the sallow skinned pale imitation still stokes
At the ashes and embers of yesterdays hopes
The glue of a sleepy society bound
If anything goes why is nothing allowed here?

I gaze at the lines of a distant horizon
I gaze at the look on your tremulous face
Practising flattery that got us inside of here
I pray for eviction at speed without haste

Vibration come
Hypnotic bang
A community choir in the palms of my hand
Rattles the top heavy autumnal leaves
Carried down by the most disingenuous of breezes

These adrenalised legs will carry me far
The wound that's still open
One day will scar
Something got lost in translation I fear
If everyone's someone then why am I nobody here?
