lyrics

Morning, with the thin grey clouds above me
Till they pass in a breeze as brief as life
Nothing can fulfil me
And nothing fills this emptiness
Afternoon in a bright green garden
Where there’s so much life and it passes by me
No-one can transcend this
And no-one can find rest in this
Evening, longing in the falling blue light
Till it deepens to a black as dark as death
No city can complete me
No winter town more meaningful


But I’ll be okay // In the modern world with
All the riches of the western sun
All the screens that take away my time
All the shit I buy to feel fulfilled
All the pleasure that they sell to me


I need some connection, I feel disconnected
From the screen-dulled world
But I scroll from page to page to page
I’m choking on the hollow air
Until I want my breath to stop


Always our lives are a kind of fracture
Between the one outside and there’s one inside me
Only love can bridge this
And beauty alone can make me whole


But I’ll make my way // Through connected days with
All the history of human art
All the books I read to feel alive
All the poetry that fills my mind
All the songs I write to mark my time

I don’t remember the last time in my life that I felt alright x2

I need some connection, I feel disconnected
From the screen-dulled world
So I read from page to page to page
Until I find a meaning there
In a heaven of imagined life
