lyrics

I was a criminal that day
Asleep and on my way
A single blessing on it’s own
Can make me feel at home
Always waiting for the nights
To leave the silence out of sight
I saw a vision for myself
And a hope for me now
And a hope for me now
And back there somehow
You always told me I would be lonely
If you could help me I’d live such a wild life
I’d wait and I’d wonder My head always blundered
And every fucking engine binding us would pull me under
I’m a servant with no rights
Never had a vision for the work I spread alight
Another victim to our time
Kept apart at distance whenever we would fight
And it’s you always told me I was younger than a boy
And it’s you who’s always known
Tiny boxes engines glory
Some old ghost who knew my story
Told me I was lifeless boring
Some machine made from gore and a mourning
It’s what we called our love
Was tearing me apart
It focused on my heart
And told me how to start
I tell myself when I’m scared
That it’s easy not to care
It’s not easy not care
But that’s an older story
We’ve moved on
Our other loves pull us more strongly
No one’s coming for us, we got
Caught in something trivial, our luck
