lyrics

I remember when I saw your face
And something filled an empty space
The Summer solstice words escape
You came along

Bitter green and camouflaged
I get clean in screaming cars
Cymbal haze and old guitars
You came along

Smoke bush purple shallow breath
Hallowed be thy name in jest
Pressed against a crying chest
You came along

Shameful as a crying kid
Discipline unnerving wit
Hit me over hearing it
You came along

Latent hurtful hand me downs
Lusting never from the mouth
A masochist I can’t denounce
You came along

Christmas is a candied knife
Birthdays come and go all night
Boxed inside the old upright
You came along

Our wedding was a decade long
Turbulent but never wrong
You are the only honest song
You came along

Now the honeymoon begins
Dying for a dying wish
That’s just how my humour is
You came along

Twisting like an elm to shade
Apologies for coming late
The haunted halls of my estate
You came along

the stamina you wish on fools
Blackened broken chemicals
The ever reaching tentacles
You came along

Beeping from the metal beds
Cicadas singing life and death
Heaving hollow sacred breath
You came along

Funerals and baby showers
Happy tears expensive flowers
Heroes, punters, children, cowards
You came along

The lucky air that leaves our lungs
The day we fade into the sun
The same as nearly everyone
You came along 
I thought God was just a ritual
Something cold contractual
But I never cut umbilical
You came along

I remember when I saw your face
And something filled that empty space
The Summer solstice words escape
You came along
