lyrics

I never wanna look like I've got nowhere to be on Brunswick Street
The sky's a slab of grey and I'm just trying to sit pretty in the thick of it
Kill every bit of faith that I detect in me, I'll make a lot of enemies, believe it
I'll take the toll tomorrow when the thrill of this city washes off the week


Just burn the lease and tumble through the moment to moment honestly
I'll join you when I'm sick of clinging onto this fantasy we're living in
Imagine what it takes to smash the normalcy, it's harder than it ought to be, I fear it
Inheriting extracted human misery has starved us of our history


Spilling out of my jacket
Onto the carpet
Scrubbing at stains
I feel older
I'm making mockeries
