Another Day
02:54

|
wasted years in the August sun
and you've been dreaming of the places that you can run to
but the oracle's spoken and it looks like smoke
all the way down from the headlines to the horoscopes
as a kid you prayed it wouldn't come
if it did you'd let yourself grow numb
another red sunset another day
and the colour of the year is antiseptic gray
now will you sleep through summer like you slept through spring
and in the fog of that fever see the shape of things to come
and go
don't you know this happened once before
I suppose it'll happen evermore
time stands still
time beholds the bodies on the hill
years go by
leave us staring at the sky
time will wait
out the drift in secondary plates
shape and shake
we'll never see it coming
wasted years in the August sun
sixteen centuries come and gone
another red sunset another day
another red sunset another day

First Light

|
thunder crashes in the sky
dailies flash across my eyes
past and plans and awful things
loose ends like lanterns flickering
I think the snowdrops are in bloom
but there are no windows in this room
and I can't tell the time or anything
turn off the lights but the shadows cling
I shake and burn up cold, cold sweat
I light another cigarette
and take shallow asthmatic puffs
the anaesthetic's wearing off
as first light seeps through the gaps
here's sleep
I take shallow asthmatic puffs
the anaesthetic's wearing off
and first light seeps through the gaps
