Leather

I can feel the summer breathing
Down my leather
We lived in a house of stone by the seaside
The garden wild, it was overgrown
With white roses
Though that was all so long ago
I can feel the summer breathing
Down my leather
I can feel the times are changing
Riding out to the reservoir
The sun has dried up the lake
Leaving nothing but bones and rusty cans
The remains of a summer's day
The remains of a summer's day
Leaving nothing in its wake
I can feel the summer
I can feel the summer breathing down my leather
I can feel the tides are turning in my favour
I can feel the stars aligning
And my star is rising
I can feel the summer
I can feel the summer breathing
Down my leather

What does it mean to let go?
Forget what we’re taught; the years of growing old
Scared of what’s left more scared that there’s nothing below
Can’t tell a caged bird to spread its wings and fly
Alone at last with your mask they’ve asked you to go
No hand to guide ‘cause it’s already inside your mind
Pull of the tides
We’re confined by nurture
A path set in stone as fixed as Verona’s lovers
Alone at last with your mask they’ve asked you to go
No hand to guide ‘cause it’s already inside your mind
Alone at last with your mask they’ve asked you to go
No hand to guide ‘cause it’s already inside your mind
Like a statue made of ice melting down to the ground
Rising up to the sky to become another cloud
That I spot when lying down in the grass
A summer's day, you play with my hair we roll around
These memories drift slowly away into a haze
With the smell of the hay, and the flower that you picked that day
In your hand it looked so sweet
But in my room it withered and died
Not a surprise but equally it unsettled me
I couldn't help but see my life laid out in front of me
As I grow old the years left to me seem like nothing but a misery
You can’t prevent the cracks that form across a face
The lines that trace the story of the human race repeating itself
Without a thought to those that came or those to come
Like climate change, financial crash, atomic bomb,
The list I wrote it could go on —
But why bother with all that dreary stuff
When you can just look up and smell the roses?

Lake

In the morning when you look at me
Light pours onto white sheets
A tightened grip around a loose wrist
Buzzing black fly
Over crowded lake
Demystify in angelic state
The water cools
The water calls
The water cools
In the morning when I look at you
The warnings allude abandon
The dawn brings a gentle apathy
Look around you’ll find me there
A smile in the sun
Distracted gaze reflected by mystic light
Waiting, waiting for the sun to go in
Peace of mind at last
And nothing could clarify this scene
With tranquillity comes madness
Wrapped in silk
Forgotten

And we were walking
The sun hadn’t gone down yet but we were in the woods
And it starts to get dark earlier in the woods
And it was that time of year
Where it’s starting to get darker sooner so we thought we’d go home
And so we did; we went back to your grandma’s house
We were staying at her house in Norfolk
But it was just us
Just us there
And when we got back we realised that we’d forgotten to collect firewood
Which was the reason we went to the woods in the first place
We both kind of looked at eachother and we thought
We’ve got to go back, we’ve got to go back to the woods
And so we put on our coats and we stepped out
It had started to get colder
We passed the village pub which was starting to fill up
And we even talked about going in to get a drink
And just forgetting about the wood
But this felt like delaying
Delaying the inevitable
So we set off once more for the woods and we approached
And — when we got there we both kind of looked at each other
Because it was this kind of dark you don’t really get in the city
It was kind of like
A true scientific black
Like a kind of darkness that you don’t want to experience, but we went in anyway
You got out your pocket knife
I told you to put it away but you wouldn’t
So we forged on into the woods and we could see these people
These people in the distance and they were having a fire and
It was scary but they were singing this melody
And it was kind of enchanting, it was drawing us closer
And we were getting close to them
And it was something like this, they were singing this melody and it was like —
And as we got closer we could make out their faces
And there was
Nothing there

Dark Days
02:48
|

Now the sun’s gone in
She takes a train
It’s been swallowed whole
Like the lump in your throat
As it pulls away
You told her to take the day
Driver take me away
The wheel is yours
My dark days are here to stay
Here to stay
Down deserted streets
A flicker of light
It reminds me of your pale blue eyes
Like the moon they guide
The path of a salty stream
But you’ve been getting older
And you’ve lost your way
Driver take me away
The wheel is yours
My dark days are here to stay
Don’t know what caused
This sunny heart to decay
Ever since the sky turned blue
It’s not been the same

Waste and Coffee
05:28
|

|
The clock is ticking as I’m finding my way
My way into the dark
The clock is ticking as I’m finding my way
My way into the dark
Her eyes are opening I see a black dog
A figure from my fires
Thoughts slip and slide across my right hand
My delicate burnt hand
His clumsy male hands are covered in dough
I chide him
The giant
Little windy man
Licks his thumb
The hills stand resolute, alive, enduring
They witness my resolve
Her will leaves everything to waste and coffee
To spiral from control
From control

Next Stop, Mars!

I don’t wanna stay in
I don’t wanna to go out
‘Cause it’s always the same
I don’t wanna stay out
I don’t wanna leave
‘Cause it’s always the same
I just wanna go
Somewhere that I know
I won’t lose control
I don’t know
Where I want to go
Next stop, Mars
Next stop, Mars!
Now I know
Where I want to go
Next Stop, Mars
Next Stop, Mars!
