about
written on the bonnie isle of islay, summer '15
lyrics
biting my tongue, but it never listens
biting the clouds, but they keep on whistling...
itching the sky, only a ripple
itching my toe, only a tickle
when did my feel get miles away?
when did getting old start to feel so strange?
mmm i didn't ask for this (x4)
sweaty socks, this fire is dimming
blanket of sand, our beds we're missing
we hide on the shore, in our swaying palace
all to ourselves, fragments in fingernails
when did my feet get miles away?
when did getting old start to feel so strange?
how come now we never really feel safe?
how come now we don't have time to play?
mmm i didn't ask for this (x4)
we live in the divine of a hurricane
the warm iris of a bath
forgetting that the white walls are coming soon
and i dunno about this path
i dunno about this path
i dunno about this path,
no
the sun is rising but it's not so scary
if you hold my hand, we'll fade like fairies
and the sea could greet us with destruction:
we don't care, we both can cry too
i crave the midnight
oh the moon is fading
i blow up the womb high
but it keeps on waning
did you know I'm like lavender?
catching my breath?
and my soul is made of wonder
i've forgotten about the rest (x6)
it's like a nightmare, gods sake
its like a nightmare (x3)
Gods sake
it's like a nightmare
God, wake
