Dramamine

Lyrics 
What have I learned what do I know 
Chasing time only to become 
Beneath your head my arm goes numb 
Beneath your head the pressure is warm 
What have I learned what do I know 
Still got to stretch and be someone
Beneath your head my arm goes numb 
Beneath your head 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings 

City’s changing fast
Baby I feel slow
Hunger and pride monetised 
Can't see the sky it used to hold 
Baby I’m tired of packing, moving around 
Keep my head up when peace is a fight
Around your waist my arm goes tight 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings 

City’s changing fast 
Baby I feel slow 
Can’t see the sky it used to hold 
I came unbraced 
Body aches in the race
And always someone to cash in on the process 

Haunt here haunt now
Haunt now precious nothings
Haunt here haunt now 
Haunt here precious nothings

Someone will tell the story for you 
Someone will want you to explain 
One will take the life out of you
And someone will remind you it’s not a trade 
Will break the circle and inspire you 
Might reflect all your pain
When you’ll need them to be them 
Someone will be stuck doing the man

Someone will lose their faith in you 
Or work to let you in
Will see right through you
Or quit when it’s time to deal 
One will have it harder than you 
One will keep you awake at night 
Will learn the breaking from you or 
Show up to start a fight
·
Someone will turn back to forgive you
 Will want to do the change
Someone will teach you sorry and thank you 
Or care more than they’ll tell
One’ll connect when they need you 
Will say they understand
And someone will take the time to
 And it just won’t feel the same 
It just won’t feel the same
·
The sky is between us not above 
The beat is tender and sore 
Deep is the night we’ve known
For change we’ve been here before
·
Someone will be looking out for you 
Will make you believe
One will hide behind their body  
Or hold onto your fear 
Someone will do your memories for you 
Or project somebody else
They’ll blame you for what they do 
Mistake your patience with weakness

Someone will ignore you all the way through 
Or cross the lines you’ve drawn
They’ll press harder on that bruise
On the messiness of it all
One will think they can to heal you 
Or pass on to their strength
And someone will use you the way you’ve used 
And point at the times you’ve failed

The sky is between us not above 
The beat is tender and sore 
Deep is the night we’ve known
For change we’ve been here before

We’ve been here before 
Here before 
We’ve been here before 
Someone will share the past with you 
Will like you for what you give 
One will ask for what you won’t do
Or hold you just to feel 
They’ll forget what they tell you
Speak to you through songs 
One will call your name it’ll feel good
Put your trouble into words

Deep is the Night

Kοφτερἠ η γραμμή του σαγονιού σου 
θα την αναγνώριζα σε χίλιες 
αξεθώριαστη στις πτυχές τους
Όσο στρώνουν τα χρὀνια 
μαγεμένη είμαι ακόμα

Tα μάτια σου καθηλωμένα στον προορισμό
τα δικά μου να κυλάνε στην ξηρότητα της θέας 
και έτσι όπως τρέχουμε ταλαντεύομαι
από το παράθυρο στη δεξιά πλευρά του προσώπου σου

Μαγεμένη είμαι ακόμα 
Μαγεμένη ίσως να ́μαι πάντα 
Μαγεμένη, ακόμα
Όσο στρώνουν τα χρὀνια

Στην άσφαλτο που ατελείωτα ξετυλίγεται  το φως τρεμοπαίζει 
ζεστός ο αέρας, μπροστά μας ο δρόμος σαν να πλέει
και έτσι όπως τρέχουμε ταλαντεύομαι
από τον ορίζοντα στη δεξιά πλευρά του προσώπου σου 
από καρδιάς τα ξέρω τα χαρακτηριστικά σου
από καρδιάς την ξέρω την τροχιά τους 
ωστόσο κάθε φόρα που κάπου πάμε
ωστόσο όσο στρώνουν τα χρὀνια

Μαγεμένη είμαι ακόμα 
Μαγεμένη ίσως να ́μαι πάντα 
Μαγεμένη ακόμα
Όσο στρώνουν τα χρὀνια
~
Your very own sharp jaw line I 
would recognise among a thousand
unreceding in the folds of the layering years

Your eyes bustling on destination 
- mine coated with the rolling dryness of the road 
as we speed along I journey between the window and the right side of your face
 bewitched I am still and perhaps always will be

The light glimmers upon the concrete endlessly unraveling
 In the hot air ahead of us the road seems to float
as we speed along I journey between the horizon and the right side of your face 
by heart I know these features, by heart their trajectory
but each time we drive somewhere in this old new car  
bewitched I am still and perhaps always will be

Driving

I won’t do the work for you in the name of love
i won’t take that stride for you just cause I could
I won’t come after you cause this is how you’ve known
 But I can stick with you as we go

I will stick with you just as we go 
I will stick with you 
I will stick with you just as we go 
I will stick with you 

I will save my words when you listen to respond
I won’t land them for you the feelings you are running from 
What appears new to you has been here all along
It’s not what shines but where the light comes from 
I won’t do the work for you in the name of love 
From sunrise to sunset, dusk to dawn

I will stick with you just as we go 
I will stick with you 
I will stick with you just as we go 
I will stick with you 
I will stick with you just as we go 
I will stick with you 
I will stick with you just as we go 
I will stick with you

Stick with You

A photograph keeps haunting 
You look wistful gazing at the lens
A photograph keeps haunting 
You look wistful gazing at the lens
Some place resembling a familiar haven 
The air is fleshy
The light ocher
Behind you cacti rise and lean

I close my eyes
The picture is still here 
Your hair is white 
You’re dressed in black
Longing has molded to your face 
Time presses its fingertips in
the hollow of your neck

I have wished repeatedly
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished

I’ve grown skilled at storing water 
I’ve adapted to the dry
In the heat of summer
My arms, my knees, my thighs

And I play longing as it lays 
Foolish, helpless, sublime
All cacti have flowers and produce 
Oxygen from carbon dioxide

I have wished repeatedly
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished repeatedly
I have wished

A photograph keeps haunting 
You look wistful gazing at the lens
A photograph keeps haunting 
You look wistful gazing at the lens

Open Doors

Thought I was dying hanging there only half awake 
Tending to ghosts longer than it seemed 
Never knew ease as a given thing 
Thought I was losing when I wanted more 
These are unloving times to live but 
At the end of fear is a door 

The scenery shifts the act is unchanged 
But the scale does not feel the same
 I want to touch the ground, learn again 
How to move through unafraid 
In the dark through the flames 
Walk like I used to walk when
We knew less and we dared more  

There’s no lie in the pulse of your skin 
It’s been much and not enough 
There’s no lie, this life is for living 
Stand while you stand 
Love when you love 
Stand while you stand
Love when love 

Tried places and got tried in return 
Made space in my heart to unlearn 
I want to touch the ground, see it clear 
We came with senses so we can feel 

These are raving times to be alive
 There’s a breath we’re meant to find 
In the dark
 Through the flames 
So close to the surface 

There’s no lie in the pulse of your skin 
It’s been much and not enough 
There’s no lie, this life is for living 
Stand while you stand 
Love when you love
