Losing My Mind On The Outside Of Everything

I'm Pursuing A Career Outside Of Conveyancing

Lyrics

Last leaves have eyes of coal
Caught in the updraught
White smoke to spin for yarn
Where the tree fell in the grove
White smoke

I can see Totterdown
I can see Windmill Hill
But I cannot see yet my son dig the earthworm
For Nobby's dowel spoke
Now she's pulling on the choke

Top twigs press into twigs
And they are the preimage in the vault
And out into the settling
I can see the yarn unwind
Twenty-seven, twenty-eight

We could go Totterdown
As yours are now Freezing Hill
So let me walk all the earth with no name
Until I come of age
I'll be coming to you

I Can See Totterdown

the blue just clings to the earth, it's embedded within some atmospheres. 
you could tell that the bitter cold you'd just been in was the same way that i am feeling. 
you told me that numbing it doesnt work, but i just had to force a change of scenery.
you showed me photos of the torched earth of lava fields, i know that barren misery.

you described being underneath the ice sheets
i know that numb translucency 
you showed me photos of the snow peaked mountain tops
ive just crawled out of my creased bed sheets. 

there is more for me
it takes a friend like you to remind me
there is more for me
thank you for reminding me

iceland

water can be rain licking your face awake, but when its ice it can carve through rocks
everything ebbs and flows it passes through different states of change. 
your sadness is never locked.

my pathetic fallacies are so vain. they remind me that cycles slow but they dont stop.
i read in the news that they've resurrected the woolly mammoth. the madness just goes on and on and on and on 


you described being underneath the ice sheets
i know that numb translucency 
you showed me photos of the snow peaked mountain tops
ive just crawled out of my creased bed sheets. 

there is more for me
it takes a friend like you to remind me
there is more for me
thank you for reminding me

Lyrics

I'm on a losing streak
And everyone I meet
Just smiles
And turns away
And If you say the words
I can't but say that I'm no fool
And if you come down in my car
Ain't nothing I can do
But turn around
And turn it down
And if you're bleeding much too far
Ain't nothing to see you through
You can't reach out
Can't make a sound

I'm on a losing streak
Living on Loser Street
Loserville

Innumerable future selves lean to form an audience, keen to hear the result.
They’ll wait for hours to be betrayed –Restless.
Too scared to blink or speak at all,
I fumble everything for a home crowd - stuck in their thick berating din.
If they could speak they’d help me out:
Tell me what I’m supposed to do and think.
 
You’re a barricade of charisma; I don’t know how to talk to you
You’re a catapulted whisper splattering on flags of truce
I have allegiances to characters I am now too old to be
I spend the bulk of my free time pining, wishing & worrying.
 
It feels a lot like:
-          Getting back from a holiday you liked;
-          Reluctant small talk with  a friend you were once much closer with;
-          Reluctant small talk with a colleague you feel you know too much about.
 
It’s not ideal. It’s only fine.
It’s not how you feel but it’s all that you are, boy.
 
It’s a lot like:
-          Waking up, when you’d rather be asleep;
-          Having things to think about when you’d rather sleep, to dream.
 
It’s alarming we’re so calm
As we erode to lesser forms.
Far from ideal – we’ll say “it’s fine!”
It’s not how we feel it’s just all that we are now.
