slipping out

sorry that i’ve been gone, it’s been a while
but the floor opened up and i left in a smile
i didn’t do anything, means by default
that i didn’t look after myself, it’s my fault
that i’m falling to sea
my sense of self is travelling
might help to see
sand in my eyes, can’t feel my feet
but it’s not in my remit to admit defeat
hold onto my hand and distract me as i try to breathe
cos i’m slipping out again
close to my chest as it tightens, sit right next to me
cos i’m slipping out again
ten more minutes and i’ll be fine again
keep me within your reach i’ll reach the end
just keep my eyes open please stay close to me
i’ll come back around again
focus on me now
when will this be won
i’ve drawn a map to 25
a hill to the sun
when do i walk and when to dive
do i brush against ferns when there’s no need to run
hold onto my hand and distract me as i try to breathe
cos i’m slipping out again
close to my chest as it tightens, sit right next to me
cos i’m slipping out again
ten more minutes and i’ll be fine again
just a minute for me to reach the end
just keep my eyes open please stay close to me
i’ll come back around again
focus on me now

don’t look, the world’s about to break
just turn your face away
just try to sleep and when you wake
prepare your next mistake
don’t look, it’s the end of the day
you never made your name
but made your point now let’s escape
don’t look, the world’s about to break
you’re at capacity
people falling at your feet
everyone’s tripping over
what a sight to see
don’t look, the world’s about to break
i never learned your name
be scared, it’s real, the blame you feel
be still, i won’t let you break
you’re at capacity
people falling at your feet
everyone’s tripping over
what a sight to see
don’t look, the world’s about to break
i never learned your name
be scared, it’s real, the blame you feel
be still, i won’t let you break

please don’t be you
making a sound
i dread to think where you’ve been on this town
i’m thinking of how life’s a movie
that never came true
oh, please don’t be you

a song to be heard
01:02
|

wish i could write a song to be heard
for people at night who don’t say a word
for the people at sea, waving at you and me
and the people at sunrise who dare to live free
wish i could drive away from the world
need you by my side for my plan to unfurl
all the planets will be waving at you and me
saying there’s the two daring to dream

autumn (interlude)

|
i’ve seen the silence before
autumn coming out in full force
i didn’t think i would live this long
i didn’t think i would love

when it gets to quarter to, turn back
you don’t know the day that you’ve had
just jump the fence, don’t forget your bag
leave the sun to set on your tracks
when it feels like the day’s been long
just remember where you came from
it’s a long way ahead but forget your map
just head the way back
if it’s more you want, it’s hiding up your sleeve
there’s a door you’ve locked but you still have the key
it’s hide and seek, but you try to peek as you lie asleep in your bed
it’ll come out, wherever it is, in the end
