I won't leave you alone, know every move you make, even when you lie entombed, Oh do it if you must, get out of this place, instead of gathering dust, just enough of you gone, to leave a nasty taste, when you skip from loans, it’s another loss, when looked at this way, aware of every cost, you file like a honeycomb, someone who craves, regular trips on the bone, can't hide what you’ve got, what is left to take write whatever you want, on Blue promissory notes, stamp it on your stone, is it you, you fake, can't you alter tone?

You can swear and blow, say it's never too late, to make your way home, don’t piss in the soup, or worry about fate, you're no one's fool, a rolling stone, there’s no more escape, luck's when dice roll, it better come soon, things change this way, everything becomes due, too close to the zone, what is it about you, who’s not alone, don’t mind the looks, you'll always need loans, from those who spread news, you're too old to roam, nothing left to explain, no knife to your throat, suffer their gaze.

Some nights I ask why, other times don’t, why stars shine all night, is it a sense of grace, that marks our credit zone, when we're out this way, you stare into my eyes, the wind is black and cold, then you’re gone in wine, the kids and dogs are great, why go roaming, no one hears the gate, if you can’t say now, I’ll call this place home, flame starts with a light, hear me castigate, down a broken phone, accept my tirades, no matter how we fight, or strain our hungry bones, we're only rolling dice, not to be alone.

Me Ma stamps on tar, she crumbles, when he buys the car, no pine needles nor hay, bursts upon them like lovers, home or away, he’s crossed the arc, just trouble, right from the off, to sail on blue waves, a ship for a mother, is what he craves, he's ruined her heart, my girl says 'i wonder, where did that start? not far away, love always hungers, for trips on the train, I still hear me Da, laughing like a juggler, happy he’s not barred, our house full of rumour.

Whatever else you need, make it the last dream, leave me to grieve, consider me gone, neither busted or relieved, you’ll dance on my bones, hang me on the breeze, an Ocean or sea, if you hear me scream, when you walked me home, under lilac trees, my eyes were aglow, think how necessary, you want to tell me, are ghosts of your conceit, drink to atone, another broken scene, make me eat crow, what you once deemed, is cruel to perceive, now that you've given, all to receive.

It's useless to wait, a Knife to the bone, always strikes late, never safe to heed, what I've been doing, no one makes me bleed, or gets in the way, I slay my ghosts, no matter what the waste, say nothing about that scene, just leave me alone, my turn now to plead, it leaves me delicate, a song with broken tones, sealed in a freighter’s crate, it’s not my creed, to keep fear at home, when you want to succeed, the moon has a gaze, it knows what you've seen, the wind in the slates, fire on the breeze.

Just a game my sister, forget how to wrangle, those who miss ships, your search for the free, hangs like a spider, in songs of the wind, the way you kiss, make my eyes cringe, for better promises, so close to the sea, the nearer your frankness, nothing carefree, you are less spin, each line you imagine, rowing the Isthmus, you won’t write to me, or give me waffle, if it’s not to be, why do you insist, the shock of the single, is nothing to miss, for life on the shingle?
