I’ve seen this forest before
Every tree is familiar
I’ve seen this water before
But not here
I’m in a circle again
Repeating my footsteps
I’ve seen this forest before
The driver is getting tired
He’s falling asleep at the wheel
He’s wiping the sweat from his eyes
He doesn’t want to kill tonight
Nobody wants to kill tonight
That’s a lie
Outside your house
Behind the safety of the walls
It’s not a cage it’s not a prison
It’s armour
The terrible thing about it
It makes me smile
It doesn’t make you smile
Are your neighbours listening right now
Can they hear every word I say
I sure hope not
Different feelings when did you
Make my head home
Plans were so much bigger
Almost like they want to start
Things were different then
Maybe they were better
Maybe they made sense
There’s such a thing as knowing too much

Anklebone

Round and round
The blood goes round
Us larger forms
It keeps us warm
From the skully dome
To the ankle bone
Sometimes at night
It feels like it stops
And my feet get cold
On their way
Around your veins
Those crazy tubes
Just passing through
Round and round
The blood goes round
It doesn't make a sound
Until you're all alone
And it's way too loud

Children Will Dance
02:59

When will your feelings come around
Heaven knows
With your last painful breath of air
No one will miss you when you've gone
There'll be no tears
No thoughtful words
Just a sense of relief
The children will dance on your grave
And no one will stop them
Now they are no longer afraid
Of what you put on them

Into the Sea
03:17

How suddenly I'm warm
Caught in my trusted cold weather clothes
Making my big decisions
Without any facts or figures to quote
Life is a landslide
To be washed away
Arms making tiny circles
I file for divorce from the watch and the style
Maybe I'm optimistic
Or maybe I'm sleepwalking into a fire
Life is a landslide
To be washed away
Mine is at low tide
I crumble into the sea

Bend the bones take care of your own
Watch the birds how they make their own home
Toy-like bubble-headed artists
Don't even have hands every twig in place even armless
I couldn't build a house with my mouth in a tree
Competing with the breeze and the branches and leaves
I see obstacles he sees tools
But he only lives a few years
So let's not get carried away
Criss-cross the letters just like the way you did
A tear as my eyes fill up with spinal fluid
I can't travel too far my body hates the bizarre
Being sick in the car on the way to Thorpe Park
I'm fine with the rides I'll survive the high heights
There's a fear inside I will let you all down
But there is one
One ray of sunshine

Flowers

There's flowers in the bin that's where
You left me in the darkest place
Finding comfort in the corners of rooms
And the little sounds you make
There was a whole new world I found
Round the back of our old estate
A little place that never caught my eye
Until I left one open late
Think I'm watching too many films
Day and night are blurring into one
Though I only really met you twice
We're already on first name terms
There's a mystery in the words
Hidden in the alphabet
A warning from a distant tribe
That knew too much too soon
I saw a fist fight happen outside
From the comfort of my first floor room
I was sad when they walked away friends
Think I'm watching too many films
There's another fair coming our way
I saw it on an old shop wall
On one of those evening walks that I take
When you're not here
