lyrics:

Come upstairs my love
I will take you any way you are
I'm ill-prepared and stone cold scared
The same as you

When we dance around the fatal
We pretend there's something left
All your senses are disabled
Brought down by loneliness
There's a sun above the skylight
But your sickness locked it out
There's a war in every silence
When the captain's not around

We could both lock lips on this sinking ship
Watch it all go down
We could seal our fate in a frozen lake
Just drown

When we ask if we deserve this
We are digging our own grave
There is nothing quite so painful
No relief to kill the shame
And your burden looks so empty
There's no proof that it exists
Just a chemical compulsion
Ever looking for the exit

I am love from the highest place
I am love, I know all your faces
I am love from the highest places
I am love, I know all your faces.

come upstairs

lyrics:

I wrote a letter to myself
So no one else would have to read it
It's weighing heavy on my mind
I prayed to a god I don't believe in
Recurring visions in my sleep
Tricycles and curbs of frustration
I heard Chester screaming loud
Arms aflame and ready to break

You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years today

Greenstick fracture at the wrist
Jumping cars out in the garden
European seaside town
Drowned in limoncello, heaving posion
Lost my cool down at the rink
Pinned to the wall for striking dad
Running abscent from my parents
Dirty rag and oil, a concrete bed

You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years: you never see it coming
Strumming arthritis away
29 years today

Dragged away from all my friends
Calendar days stole my summer
I'd miss Matthew's friendly ghost
Sunlight cured us of the shivers
Threw my shoes into the lake
When school was done, freedom celebrated
All the hills and valleys climbed
I never quite learned to tie my laces

You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years: you never see it coming
Strumming arthritis away
Stacking cutlery on my birthday
29 years today.

in earnest
