good grief!

Twine, tethered, fray, snap
you will live inside each other for days, or weeks, or all your lives
The pharmacy sells pills
made of her ashes, fast acting pain relief
some bonds break you
medicalised and falling falling falling
I am the dust that lies at the bottom
children in the shadow
(growing up alone)
solvent, I'm coming up short, coming up short
breaking it even, a series of tubes
you take all that's left and there's nothing to prove anymore
Lost in the isotope
Collapse in the stethoscope
medicalised and falling falling falling
I am the dust that lies at the bottom
children in the shadow
(growing up alone)
solvent, I'm coming up short, coming up short
Fear fall, fear fall, fearful the mist I am
I feel I am crossing no man’s land
At the border, and seeing stars
All that remains, for you now, is the colour, of fadeless splendour
solvent, I'm coming up short, coming up short
Fear fall, fear fall, fearful the mist I am

For you, this is for good
But I was only going home
I lied about tiny things
Can I just try remain sorry
I’ve had a weird year or so
I’ve known more than I’ll ever know
I tried to see the clearer side but it’s hard, it’s hard
I'm in a line
with everyone I've ever been before
and we're waiting to see you
isn't it shaky now
a wire 400 miles long
I’ve tried to help myself
And found it doesn’t help
So long as I am stuck in here
I have to see the stars
When they’re unfamiliar
I just have to know, I just have to know that
I'm in a line
with everyone I've ever been before
and we're waiting to see you
come home to one person
in your bed every night
and stay who you are
for the rest of your life
isn't it shaky now
a wire 400 miles long
I guess this was for good
But in my head the bad
Comes often enough
That I will have to see you
I guess it was for better, well
I guess it was for better, that I went home

the numbers

convene for basic principles
and leave it to the numbers
is there some sort of creature out there
who doesn't make mistakes like that
out of control, a wreckage pattern
the image of a centrifuge collapsing your brain
but it stops, but it stops, the feeling in your feet, the feeling in your feet
must have been more, than the stain it left
a curse on all your brothers and sisters and ideas
And all of us know, all of us know
All of us are forced to feel it
Agree on basic principles
and leave it to your numbers
is there some beautiful creature out there
who just won’t make mistakes like that
there's nothing at all that's different
there's nothing at all that's different
out of bad ideas, and it's getting worse
a telephone receiver hijacked into deep space
and it rings, of course it rings,
and it's the voice of your daughter, the voice of your daughter
never again, I want to see you again,
I will be fine, I swear, I think I'll be fine, but
I didn't want to, no I never want to
you can't bear to see me smile
convene on basic principles
and leave it to the numbers
am I that kind of ageing creature
who's made to make mistakes like that
they can finally be alive
they can finally be alive
Agree on basic principles
and someone fix the numbers
these grey bars only get much tighter
and I can't live mistakes like that down
Spoken: it’s only eternity in prison, whatever harm that does
Makes me exactly the same as everyone else
I try and i try, but handcuffs have remained
A permanent fixture of my life since birth
And i want you to stay exactly the same
As myself

Some ensemble of starfish dancing
Intimate evade the silence
You come around in fluorescent plumage
All kinds of circles in all this space
We’ve known for a while
It’s a lost cause
We’ve known for a while
You’re a lost cause
But you will see
Form a star like me
The colours fade
And i don’t mind
And it’s all right
And it’s okay
An experiment stripped of the lonely
A coloured diagram for the children
You make a path for the final frontier
And leave a trail for disaster right here
We’ve known for a while
It’s a lost cause
We’ve known for a while
You’re a lost cause
The colours fade
And i don’t mind
And it’s all right
And it’s okay
But you will see
Form a star like me

Gravity hangs her wings on me
White tragedies in flesh and feathers
Cutting skin, a blissful dream
And you talk about it every day like nothing happened
It’s what he said
I had a hopeless dream and died
I can still feel the air
And I’d like to see the lights
And I’d love to see you breathe
It’d be okay to do anything at all
Try just being the sun
Are you centred, are you happy, stuck in
Limbo, caught between
Being alive, and being alive
And you talk about it every day like nothing happened
But i know you’re in there
A spitting image of the fall
So circle back to that pregnant scene
A bloody axe murder and a drunken queen
And it looks like stars in a blacked out tomb
It’s awful to think I’d ever forget you
The stars they wink at me
The stars they wink at me
Living on the inside
Living on the inside
I can still feel the air
And I’d like to see the lights
And I’d love to see you breathe
It’d be okay to do anything at all
I can still feel the air
And I’d like to see the lights
And I’d love to see you breathe
It’d be nice to be anything at all

cutting up the air in eights
barely 10 miles an hour
These metal rods adorn
a different shade of aerospace grey
seagulls that circle plastic graves
and they're always finding us dear
the failures on broadway
as failures on broadway
And he was so sure
that he would find something better later,
but he couldn’t wait,
so he looked at what was happening,
and the paper as it fell,
and the visions in his mind,
and the chaos in the world,
and he knew for a moment,
that a moment could be felt.
Tell me that you learn from the past
It's the story of human misery
And it’s always coming last in a race
We built from DNA scraps
seagulls that circle plastic graves
and they're always finding us dear
the failures on broadway
as failures on broadway
And he was so sure
that he would find something better later,
but he couldn’t wait,
so he looked at what was happening,
and the paper as it fell,
and the visions in his mind,
and the chaos in the world,
and he knew for a moment,
that a moment could be felt.

Freezing cold, as the snow fell
John told us about deaf people and opioids
They eat you whole, then spit you back out
But silence makes you whole, so we sat there
And we never said a word
Hear the ringing
You hear the ringing
It’s glaciers on conquest tours
Glaciers on conquest tours
Hear the ringing
You hear the ringing
It’s everything that I adore
You fall back into the floor
Easing in, to our doorway
I keep you calm with what remains of my body
It eats you whole to spit you back out
You would never believe it
Freezing cold, in the groundswell
My love told me that london cries
Only when one girl dies
She feels us all explain away our lives
But silence makes you whole, so we sat there
And we never said a word
We prayed away the winter in the raining
Of energy laced with love
Hear the ringing
You hear the ringing
It’s glaciers on conquest tours
Glaciers on conquest tours
Hear the ringing
You hear the ringing
And you breathe in
You breathe out

The sky does the moon
And the clouds do the sun
And you’re famous, you’re famous
I’ll take solace in whatever sadness I can find
You have all of three drinks to try and change my mind
To try and change my mind
Or even muster more time
You are the big boss up in space and i’m a stubborn wreck
I hold on tightly to the pint glass hoping i’m not next
And so i’m leaving for the big time in the wake of your mouth
So try and change my mind
The sky does the moon
And the clouds do the sun
And you’re famous, you’re famous
I'll see sadness in whatever solace I can find
and try my best to disintegrate what's left of my time
But you’re a picture in a picture like a puppet show
They never change my mind
On automatic sinking slowly in the lake that’s out back
How cold and dignified, securing our miserable past
It never changes my mind
It only changes with time
The sky does the moon
And the clouds do the sun
And you’re famous, you’re famous
If i turn back the clock will i find you here
Immovable enough
Your ashen face and ashen clothes having disappeared
A meteor, a witness
It never changes my mind
It only changes with time
It never changes my mind
It only changes with time
The sky does the moon
And the clouds do the sun
And you’re famous, you’re famous
If i turn back the clock will i find you here
Immovable enough
It never changes my mind
It only changes with time
