I was running down the road, you didn’t even notice.
I was crawling to the wall, I couldn’t even focus.
Cigarettes
I slid straight under the door, you didn’t even notice.
Flying straight towards the sun, I couldn’t even focus.
Cigarettes
Well the smoke screens in our lungs we try and not let them define us.
We wanna see the light but its so bright that it would blind us.
Hold onto the good and put that bad shit all behind us.
I wake up in the morning for the colour of her iris.
I was running down the road, you didn’t even notice.
Flying straight towards the sun, I couldn’t even focus.
Cigarettes
The pollution we create is making colours in the sky.
Do we deserve to live as one or everyone deserve to die.
Alone still I gaze amazed at this sunset.
My life’s half over feels like it hasn’t begun yet.
I’m running, slipping, tripping baby I’m sleeping in the sand.
I am what I am and all I am is just a man.
That needs you.

Sleep for days

Let’s begin, one year in, another classic case of being at it again.
I fought so hard, gained so little, tried so hard to find the middle.
But then the ground rushed straight up under my feet.
Hit me so hard that I couldn't eat.
I couldn't feign the feat or chain the beast and so I made the changes that I wanted least.
I felt wounded in my own defeat, All the love felt incomplete.
Now I’m back on this street, back on this seat, back in this town backed up by a beat.
And I can’t look in the eye of anyone I meet, can’t feel the touch of anyone I greet.
I can’t see the light through all the heat its like life’s a race and I can’t compete.
I can see your features, feel your gaze. In your arms I could sleep for days.
See your features, feel your gaze. In your arms I could sleep for days.
And so I hit rock bottom and I get back up, I drop my beer and so I clean it up.
I keep my curtains shut, phone lines cut, every favour ends with a 'but'.
But try and understand I’m just doing hat I can, I can’t command large forces with a wave of a hand.
I don’t stand in a fortress with some guns and some horses and demand that the land be protected for our daughters.
I just stand in the waters and watch them rise, lay on the grass looking at the sky.
Sip my drink and I drink it dry and then I shake my head and I wonder why.
Why every time we try to unite all our voices all the choices that we make take seconds to disintegrate.
Need to integrate a new point of view go slow take time make love true.
I can see your features, feel your gaze. In your arms I could sleep for days.
See your features, feel your gaze. In your arms I could sleep for days.
So I smoke a joint roll the next, grab another bottle and I crack the neck.
I try and take a step but my step wouldn’t make it, can’t walk away from all the trouble I created.
Slow to apologise and quick to accuse. Quick with an answer without thinking it through.
It’s like the more that I grew the less connected to the centre, build up a wall so the pain couldn’t enter.
But now I send you flowers in the form of words, send you love in the form of verbs.
Write you songs that you’ve never heard and then I’ll hold you close so it will never hurt.
You could all come over I could open up the curtains. Let the light in because the pains not working.
Work together to create a pretty picture. Become the student, become the teacher.
I can see your features, feel your gaze. In your arms I could sleep for days.
See your features, feel your gaze. In your arms I could sleep for days.
