lyrics

Fighting some foreign war
Frozen water on all fours
Longing for a notion of home that is
Fading like carpet in the sun
What have I won if I’ve lost my sense of me….. My sense of meant to be
An old friend to me
Who now seems immature when we meet now
Beat down and swollen

The* tremors can still be felt
I’m on fire but I keep down and roll it out

I am a city over run , over taken
Broken windows
A field full of land mines
Im as old as land lines
But my wounds As so youthful
When I am pushed the floor
It is the child inside of me who falls
I am tired of feeling…
I’ve wandered in the dark
So many nights
Than even in the light
Sometimes I close my eyes
A force of habit

All I carried
Is falling out the shopping bags
But I know it’s In my shrinking I grow
Has it been a while? All these weaponised reflexes fastened to my side
Me & God are boats passing in the night

But I have come to tell you
There is joy in the morning
Peace in despair
Courage in the falling
Calm in the cares

So don’t be scared of the ruins
Keep it moving
If falling apart
Leads me into your arms
Then that’s all that I want
