lyrics

I’ve reached December and I can’t remember it
What was it I used to do?
Mostly unmemorable, mostly it’s terrible
Mostly reflecting at you

I’ve reached December and I’m in contempt of her
Came like a bolt from the blue
I’ve wallowed a year away, wallowing every day
Wallowing stuck in the glue

I’ve been chasing a shadow outside of myself
Like a ghost riding, time trial race
I’ve been stunned, been no fun, been a burden to some
With a white flag draped over my face
And I can hardly choose, if you give up the moment you lose
And it’ll paralyse, if you’re beaten before you have tried

I don’t listen anymore
The way that, I used to listen before

But now in July, you’re too bold, you’re too bright
He said you’re too smart, it’s been marked, it’s all fine
And now you’re too sharp, it got dark, you found light
And there’s a lesson, a lover and more time

I’ve started listening more
The way that, I used to listen before

Nobody’s leaving here, everyone’s staying alive
I’ve got a purpose so I’ve got a reason to try
Thanks for the memories, the misery, the mentoring miles
Send me to sleep, Ariel, I’ve been up for a while

Nobody’s leaving here, nobody gets left behind
I’ve got a purpose so I’ve got a reason to try
Thanks for the memories, the misery, the mentoring miles
Send me to sleep, Ariel, I’ve been up for a while

You’re too bold, you’re too smart, you’re too bright
You’re too strong, you’re too sharp it’s all fine.

He has shaped his new project entirely on his own terms writing everything and playing almost every instrument himself (with the exception of the drums, which he is keen to point out, he does not have the ability to play to an even remotely proficient standard). ... more
