Lyrics - What We Had
 
Lyrics by Damian
 
Told me you were tired and you needed space to breathe 
It’s funny how you found it in her company 
You kept your silence, played it clean 
Nothing was as it seemed 
 
You ghosted every promise that we made 
I swallowed all the blame that you never faced 
I hope that you are happy moving on without me now 
Is quiet in your head, now you’ve killed all the things we had 
 
I hope that you are happy, laughing like it all worked out 
Have you seen this is a mess? Now you’ve buried what we had 
You sparked the fight and let it ignite and watched me take the heat 
Then cried about the smoke while you were pouring gasoline 
 
You kept your silence, played it clean 
Nothing was as it seemed 
You ghosted every promise that we made 
I swallowed all the blame that you never faced 
 
I hope that you are happy moving on without me now 
Is quiet in your head, now you’ve killed all the things we had 
I hope that you are happy, laughing like it all worked out 
Have you seen this is a mess? Now you’ve buried what we had 
 
Buried what we had 
Buried what we had 
Buried what we had 
Buried what we had 
 
Buried what we had 
Buried what we had 
Buried what we had 
Buried what we had

Don't You Throw It Away

"Sibheke!
Isikhathi sethu!
Sonke siya phambili!
Phambili ngakusasa."

On the weekend, when the weather is fine, and the Cape Doctor (the fairly constant, hard SE wind, spring to summer) isn't making the uphill ascents a challenge, I pack a lunch and take the opportunity to bicycle the down the Atlantic Seaboard to visit my parents and friends in Hout Bay. The views en route of the mountains and ocean are breathtaking, and it's good exercise. 
When you get there, all hot and sweaty, a dip in the ocean cools (chills) you off. The beach here has the white sands typical around the Cape, is less crowded and touristy, and is safer for swimmers than Camp Bay Beach, which can have dangerous rips. I usually bike down to the fish market or continue down to the harbour's end to Bay Harbour Market for a bit of people- and fashion-watching (Look at us! Moving forward towards a brighter future...), checking the music at the Sound Stage in the early afternoon, for a bite to eat (pineapple cake from Nap Café... OMG!) and a chocolatey Castle Milk Stout with my friends. Bajabule!
Visitors and tourists may consider the town of Imizamo Yethu something of a "slum", sprawling as it does up the hillside above the town. But many of my best friends are from here and it was a lively, vibrant, happy playground for we youth, despite its reputation, living conditions, the at times unpleasant smell from the poor to non-existant sanitation, as well as the occassional fires. Besides, the word "slum" has ugly baggage dating back to apartheid, so that "informal settlement" has become the prefered term. 
When your day is done, friends hugged and kisses to Mama and Baba, the journey back up the coast road is mostly downhill and less demanding, especially with the Cape Doctor at your back. And the sunsets have to seen to be believed. If cycling many kilometers back again feels daunting after a long day, you can get yourself home on the MyCiTi bus from Mariners Wharf in under half an hour. With your cycle, too, outside of rush hour, and there's no extra cost. And the views are just as spectacular."
