Strange Weather

The moon is letting go
Of everything I know
Tonight
The hours turn to days
The sky is out of phase
Are we alright?
Over crowded ghost town
Sun behind a dark cloud
All my favourite spots have closed down
No where to go now
Strange weather
Strange weather
Seems like yesterday
I could simple drift away from all this
Now I’m not sure
About anything anymore if I’m honest
Am I out of mind?
Is it a matter of time?

My Mind

This is not an easy ride
I’m strapped in and I’m terrified
Show me all the exit signs
I may need a quick escape
I see empty glasses everywhere
I won’t even fill them halfway
A crooked smile cracked to ear to ear
I think I need that quick escape
My shelter’s blowing open
And the sun is burning through
I’m alone when I’m alone with you
We left it all behind us
Running further out of view
Nothing left means nothing left to lose
Oh my
Blue skies
If only I could still my mind
My mind
My my
If only I could steal more time
I hold too many worlds inside
They’re spinning out of orbit
How to trust the ones who lie
Yea think I’m self-absorbing
But at least it’s not that boring

Til the Day I Die
03:11
|

We were late for the service
It started at nine
Fucked up by the jet lag and last night’s box wine
My suit barely fit
But you said I looked fine
And you’d love me til the day I die
Old men with umbrellas were staring us down
As a 12 year old boy threw some dirt in the ground
I whispered a joke while I tried not to cry
And thought “I’ll love her til the day I die”
So life unwinds
There’s no fooling time
I’ll take every night that she sleeps at my side
And love her til the day I die
We were late for old age
But it suited us fine
I got used to the aches
And how old fingers don’t align
But I’d never let go and hoped you take it as a sign
That I’d love you til the day I die
So life unwinds
Failed to fool time
I’ll take every night that she sleeps at my side
And love her til the day I die
Now I can’t be late ‘cos I’m here all the time
Smiling through the morphine that drips down the line
And if heaven denies me, I don’t think I’ll mind
Cos I loved her til the day I died

Hallelujah Anyway
03:33
|
|||
|
Every morning pray for rain
To bring that feeling back again
Something falling on my skin
A holy moment happening
How it hurts remembering
Can I sing hallelujah anyway?
When the days are long
And the night won’t fade
Can I sing hallelujah anyway
Through the pain is real
And I’m not ok
Can I sing hallelujah anyway?
Did I hear someone whispering?
Or a memory in the wind
When brokenness becomes a friend
A holy moment happening
How it hurts remembering
I’ll keep singing like a lonely choir
Every note is lifting higher
When my voice breaks
And I can’t see straight
Something stops me giving in

Fake Plastic Trees
04:21
|

|
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time
