On Planets - To Leave and Come Back (EP) [bitbird]

This song came together in such a natural way. It feels like Violet and myself both had to get something off of our chest and this song is doing exactly that for us, and sometimes that’s all music has to do.

Listen: https://found.ee/taskablackvioletskies_whenicomehome

Stay down
Buried deep
In my mind mind mind mind
Ribcage
Round my brain
Fitting tight tight tight tight 
It doesn’t have to be this hard, living with a open heart
Never letting down my guard
I keep on building all these walls

I’m two steps ahead 
(Don’t you know that I’m) always somewhere else

This ain’t something I could die from
But this ain’t something I can hide from when i come home
Gimme a shoulder I can cry on 
Cause this ain’t something I can hide from when I come home

It’s all green
Til you see 
The other side side side side
Slow down
Wanna see
A bluer sky, I wish that I 
I could only step aside
Instead of putting up a fight
Moving at the speed of light
Instead of being paralysed

I’m two steps ahead 
(Don’t you know that I’m) always somewhere else

This ain’t something I could die from
But this ain’t something I can hide from when I come home
Gimme a shoulder I can cry on 
Cause this ain’t something I can hide from when I come home

When I Come Home

This ain’t something I could die from
But this ain’t something I can hide from when I come home
Gimme a shoulder I can cry on 
Cos this ain’t something I can hide from when I come home

When I Come Home

"Droves is about futility, the distortion created by feedback loops, and the self-justifying nature of habits. It’s about the lengths that the psyche will go to in order to preserve the precious feeling of agency, and the absurdity of falling into traps not laid by anyone in particular, again and again." - On Planets

✧ Lyrics
we come and go, we come and go
a tidal wave of flesh and bone
we come in droves, we come in droves

so every day I stay awake
to watch the exodus of
somebody elses
wicking east, away
leaving with no trace but
empty houses on their frames
all the promises were made and they stay the same
and I stay the same

this is my way of serial life
serial days from serial nights
I can honestly say it’s a serious fright
that every wave is part of a tide
I’m part of a tide

at the end of the bay, the end of the line
every day it’s right on time
flooding the streets and carrying me
going out of my mind
we come and go, we come and go
a tidal wave of flesh and bone
we come in droves, we come in droves

so every day I stay awake
to watch the exodus of
somebody elses
wicking east away
leaving with no trace but
empty houses on their frames
all the promises were made and they stay the same
and I stay the same

this is my way of serial life
serial days from serial nights
I can honestly say it’s a serious fright
that every wave is part of a tide

we come and go, we come and go
a tidal wave of flesh and bone
we come in droves, we come in droves

"To Leave and Come Back is a constellation of songs about the many facets of love and its misplacement, solitude, naivete and hubris, but most importantly the absurd ways that they reflect upon and refract each other while the world spins endlessly. These songs span the course of many relationships, homes, jobs; in some ways, each song was almost written by an entirely different person than the last. However, each is an integral part of the story, and come together to form an abstract yet (hopefully) poignant picture of me, in my world." - @onplanets

✧ Lyrics
a glass of earnest to my breath
and I’d been laid down on my spine
you had my pages pinned open to the place I left off last time
I asked how long it was since I’d been on your mind
you just smiled and asked me
what’s the point in trying
if you don’t even like me

and instead of
I’ve been waiting for the sun,
eclipsed of my conviction
in anything I’ve ever really thought
might have been love
I just lied, said
darling, I don’t like anyone
it’s not your fault but don’t mistake me for a dove

cause I don’t mind
saying everything twice
if it means that my company can suffice
it gets hard to see the stars
but I could stay a while
for the night, for the night
or whatever you like
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright
I’ll be a satellite

saying everything twice
so my company can suffice
and I can stay a while
for the night
or whatever you like
I’ll be alright

✧ Lyrics
she speaks in acronym,
been sighing at the top of her lungs
she’s so convincing when she laughs and leads it on

and I’ve been rinsing off
all the colours of a love
that I picked up when I was certain I would never come undone

and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

it was a long time coming
still not long enough
but reticent as ever, she watched me come undone
and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

I hope I’ve learnt enough and haven’t fallen off
(I don’t love her)

✧ Lyrics
meet me at my sinking southeast corner
where I’ve buckled near the door
you know the one
we’ll scratch our heads and sort of sew up
where the sun shines
is there more where this all came from?
all I know is I’ll be
folding slowly forward
till the moment I’m not sure if I’ll be

fit to last a winter
sifting instants in my crooked, swollen fingers
minutes dripping through these
cracks between the things all said and done
leave me out, it won’t be long before I’ve
lost my heart to rust

it’s a cruel momentum after all
the price of patience paid in full
and the gruesome thing that 
peels my paint and fills my lungs,
is pulling me apart
and pulling me along

how the claws of cool inertia
coaxed me open, see how slow
I’ve come unravelled
so verbose but breathing shallow
finally humble, show my
stomach full of horrors,
haemorrhage thoughts as I hang honest
from these heels of all my plans;
it’s not as morbid as I thought
but I’m not

so I’ll take a jar of nothing
from that same old easy shelf
where I keep all the stuff that
keeps me off the
stuff that used to help 
did I miss some sort of signal?
what’s the difference if I did?
and how am I supposed to know if
I’m supposed to be convinced
that I’ll be fit to last the winter

✧ Lyrics
pallid and perplexed
finally I’m useless again
kicking up dust of
spent incense and dead skin

so I bask in the flicker of a ballast
and the cascading cataract of alice blue
in the shade it cast, so colourless and callous
I’ve never come here on a challenge or a balance, but

in whitewash of halogen
and at 6000 Kelvin
might forget how it was back then
but out of luck and out of context
I really miss your incandescence

listless and I’m spent
coffee stained and crusted at the edges
dragging my leash and looking for the end
trying to pick up where I left it

as I bask in the flicker of a ballast
and the cascading cataract of alice blue
in the shade it cast, so colourless and callous
I’ve never come here on a challenge or a balance, but

in whitewash of halogen
and at 6000 Kelvin
might forget how it was back then
but out of luck and out of context

I really miss you
