1.
Black cloth in my mouth To soak up the words my mother gave me Did you hear the ground shake Yes we all heard ground Did you hear the ground Hi-vis and your walk of shame Whose side am I on anyway Don't know left from right these days And I don't right from wrong From equilibrium Black hat on my head To soak up the thoughts my mother gave me Did you hear the trees are dead Yes we all heard ground Did you hear the ground Black brick in my hands Made of dust of money I like to walk the silence As I snap the patch of mould And where will they go
2.
It's funny how words in between can complicate things But, regardless, every letter you pronounce, The way you say it, means everything These numbers and figures are not real And I want to tell you how I really feel You ask me 'how do we figure this out' And I can't give you any answers this time I love the way you see me I love the things you teach me There's no hiding from you dear Not that I'd want to These words, they deceive us These words, they can't help These words, they mean nothing You ask me 'babe, how do we figure this out' And I tell you that you're still as free as when I first met you And I can't give you any answers this time
3.
You say and I say and we stay the same You shout and I shout. We both pout Didn't we think that this time things would be different Then we always stay the same Didn't we think that this time things would be different Then we always stray the same My body's a mess My head isn't dressed And I don't think I'm ready for you yet This time I'm going to be sweeter You are going to be kinder We are going to last forever
4.
Lover sweetie darling Your outstretched swathe Have you come for me dear Swaddling my pain I am an infant ancient catching graces A falling soul with no armour Bound and unbound Found and unfound And I don't know And we don't know Lover sweetie darling Your muslin kisses Have you come for me dear All talc and soap and gifts of hope Grant me shell, switch my bones I'm soft not hard, a babe in your arms Lay me down by the water Stroke my hair and kiss my eyes Love me, please love me tomorrow I am yours, love be kind
5.
Beneath my feet the ground Where all things grow again I tell you 'things are okay, love' When will we see each other again Can't you say you're sorry and farewell? Stalk tall reigns over me I can't see a way out The sun dapples upon my skin Words laugh up, oh we're dancing I told you 'things are okay, love' When will we see each other again I know it's hard to say you're sorry and farewell Blue sky hangs over me I can't believe you gave me a way out
6.
Full moon hangs over my head Pulling my thoughts, a tide of heartstrings Hoping the winds will pick up again But it's all hot air with a new tune being sung I think you need a friend And I don't know that I can be one And I can hear my voice It's crying out to meet you At the harbour where I'd greet you With the joy of simply knowing If it isn't the table I'll empty my hand This isn't what I planned for my next romance My home is singing, everything is missing This isn't the kissing I had hoped for I think you need a friend And I don't know that I can be one
