lyrics

Here in the kitchen with a notepad and a sigh, narrating my gin-soaked strife
Caught in a trap inventing relevance and meaning
Like your tired dismissive sighs were some obnoxious neon sign
That you were there screaming out for room to breathe
I smothered you, I get that way sometimes.
Cos underneath my ribs my heart starts child-sized
And as it grows it gets harder to fill so I feel like it's draining completely sometimes

I guess I'm hoping for my life image to match bright sitcom scenes, so subtext-less
Am I too blind here to receive messages loud, clear and completely obvious

The cinema was the only place she didn't need to fight for air
She could lose herself entirely there
The cinema was the only place she could escape unseen at night
And return to sleep without a single word said back,

Slip under sheets, silent, unchecked
But I am frozen under here hoping for a word or the breeze on my cold out-turned hand

Something real, and fine, and broken, and rotten

I cried over the sofa, stained the settee, wrecked my loafers
I tried calling you over, but your battery's dead, and I'm so hopeless.
