lyrics

Through a bus window at 6am, condemned to see the dawn again, the grey unveiling commuter parade.
Get off, snake your way down Wormwood Gate, arriving early, leaving late, ensuring lights get kept on, bills get paid.
Every ceiling lowers, every door slams shut in seconds flat
From a smile on your face to a smack in your mouth just like that

CH:
Skim all your stones across the river. Wish upon a star,
Throw your pennies in the well
You’ll rest vicarious at best, until the morning bell

Pacing Misery Hill after 9, a history that draws a line from corpses hanging to a walking stiff
Water mirroring the neon strips,dying on the vine in between sips of
whatever grape or grain skews you whiff

Did you really think these strangers would embrace you like a son?
Sighing trigger warnings, wrestling daily with a loaded with a gun

Think about your place in this world, think about how far you’ve left to go.
Stress yourself out thinking of it, sometimes it’s best not to think at all
Optimistic, foolish, to think anyone would put up with your shit

All the world’s a stage, and you’ve been suffering stage fright all your life
Moan about your breadcrumb trail. but there’s still butter on your knife
