The lyrics are so poignant and this song is addictively moving. Stunning. Great piano work too :)

Lyrics:

Your skin it glowed like a neon sign
Drawn in to your bones still luminous
Tubes to bags on a pole at your side 
Couldn't stop our eyes from betraying us

Talking about time
Like it was ever on your side 

They sent you home and let hope ignite
Too young to know what it meant for you
Talk of cells in red and white
We played outside without a clue

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that love, will push us through

I watched the adults faces change
And I knew it was serious
Feigning strength to compensate
For our lack of experience

I never had a place for God
I still don't see where he comes in
Just genetic bad luck and flaws
Took the bravest soul there's ever been

An empty room with curtains drawn
And a feeling so dark
Throbbing ache in our hearts as we dragged on
You showed us how to keep our heads 
Never letting your smile fade
You were only a child,  but you were strong

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose 
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that
You have everything,  if you have anything
Kids to have and years to use
Never out of sight, always in our minds
No ones forgotten you.

Straight Line

Our new single 'A Place to Hide' is out on 20/03/20
