lyrics

On Tuesday morning 22nd of July
I tend my resignation, walk out to the street
I decide to stop feeling hopeless
And admit defeat

I draw the poisonous air into my meaningless lungs
And gaze up at the windows lit up high above the slums
And think of all that life there
Piled up like shit in a stable

Drenched in the blood of Abel
So nothing ever grows

And I am tired of listening
To the sound of your laughter
Let me deliver my lines and leave
Like a bit part actor
Pacing in the wings
Waiting for a cue
But no one ever comes
To usher you in
In the end it is down to you

I watched the narrative fade
Right off the page
I watched my fiends grow up and grow apart
Grow cynical with age
I watched a new generation
That was taking our place
And I couldn’t recognise what I’d become

And on Sunday morning 27th of July
Well I woke up from a nightmare and I wanted so to die
I saw every opportunity that ever passed me by
There in your cold blue eyes

I saw it crystallize
A place where nothing grows

And I am tired of listening
To the sound of your laughter
Let me deliver my lines and leave
Like a bit part actor
Pacing in the wings
Waiting for a cue
But no one ever comes
To usher you in
In the end it is down to you

They populate tales of bad sex, drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate ... more
