lyrics

Four instant coffees down,
My synapses hazed,
I cut my way through the hedge,
A shortcut in this maze,

I hear a humming in the distance,
Probably the grate of wanderlust
I don’t have enough enemies,
And too many people that I trust

Feel like I’m floating,
On feathers above the ground,
Life doesn’t feel real anymore,
The past has been rewound,

The crows are busy squawking,
And I hear nothing but songs,
I swear everywhere I walk,
There’s a clatter of applause

I remember the darkness,
I remember my fears,
As I slowly fell for years and years,
I remember waking,
And feeling dead inside,
No fucking idea what to do with my life

I must have escaped the cave,
And now my surroundings all seem light,
Everything moves out the way,
Nothing puts up a fight,

The trees lining the road wave,
To the souls that they’ve brushed,
I’m just living in the moment,
And struggling to adjust.

I remember the darkness,
I remember my fears,
As I slowly fell for years and years,
I remember waking,
And feeling dead inside,
No fucking idea what to do with my life

But now when I wake up,
I feel alive,
I spread my wings,
And scream goodbye,
I soar over trees
No sign of the time,
When I spent my days,
Planning which bridges to climb
