lyrics

Sleeping in a made-up bed
Strange dreams a guarantee
We eat eggs and we eat bread
Drink too much beer and coffee

Sunlight through the open window falls
And Crawls across my face
Highlighting all the flaws, never to be erased.

And you need to hydrate
Because of all the booze and shit, you drank & ate… Last night.

Load the van and hit the road
Purchase gas and shades
Nick Cave is on the radio
To guide our morning daze

The difference in architecture holds attention slightly more
Meaninglessly meaningful
Excited yet unsure...

The highway hisses by
Indulge an English moan
Another cloudless sky
Think a little about home.

Sit on the street
Sing on the bridge
Swim in the lake with Kat and Nick & Tish
Where I had little choice
Where I was just one voice…

The world has gone to shit
As I’m sat here writing this
Six hundred miles away wrapped up in my own selfish schtick
We’re all phoneys, we’re all dicks
And my country makes me sick...

But there's the small things too I guess
We’re all so beautifully less than we all thought we were
A long and steady line
Human evolution takes time
Wandering the streets
Staring at the glow sewn to our hands
This modern visual definition of ‘alone’

The Art of Loneliness

Seems we have it down to a tee

The Art of Loneliness

Won’t you login and be lonesome with me?

And in the lights .. We’ll glow.
