lyrics

All your problems, aren’t my problems
But i’d break my back to solve them
Everything I said was true
Everything’s fair, as long as it’s fairer for you

I am just like a moth, you are a nuclear bomb
Triggered and then I go off
Back to oblivion

In orbit of your features
Centre of the universe demeanour
And I was kinda hoping I
Would live to see the other side
I promise that I really tried
I promise, I promise you

Family condolences, a symptom of the way this is
And I don’t know what else to do
You’re dragging me back
You’re pulling me closer to you

That building’s just brick and stone, it’s somewhere your memory goes
Somewhere you used to call home
Can’t hurt you anymore

In orbit of your features
Centre of the universe demeanour
And I was kinda hoping I
Would live to see the other side
I promise that I really tried
I promise, I promise you

Lessons I should never have to teach her
Faith’s conveniently blind when I can’t reach her
And like I find they always do
Things twist and then turn back to you
I promise that I really tried
To change, and put it all behind me


And I never was the best at raising my voice
Old habits die hard, you never gave me a choice

I promise you
I promise you

And I was kinda hoping I
Would live to see the other side
I promise that I really tried
I promise, I promise you

In orbit of your features (i promise you)
Centre of the universe demeanour (i promise you)
And I was kinda hoping I
Would live to see the other side
I promise that I really tried
I promise, I promise you

Lessons I should never have to teach her (i promise you)
Faith’s conveniently blind when I can’t reach her (i promise you)
And like I find they always do
Things twist and then turn back to you
I promise that I really tried
To change, and put it all behind me

about

The Quilter Glasgow, UK

The Quilter is the brainchild of Glasgow native Stuart Dougan,

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
