lyrics

I’ve had this one new thought - that some nights are darker than the others
For all the battles we’ve lost and fought, it seems I never did recover
And what are these conspicuous needs? And what is this sorrow I’ve been hiding up my sleeves?
It’s leaking out, it’s all over the floor, pass me my axe, cause I can’t see the wood for the trees anymore
But I could see more clearly, if I could step outside my head,
I’m thinking out loud in an echo-chamber and it turns out we’re all so easily led.


Cause I get heavy boots when I think about
That empty house and the crush of the crowd
I find it hard to say these things aloud
But that’s maybe how - I carry these things that are weighing me down.


I’ve got this one old friend - he’s losing himself again.
There’s a sea of faces, they all move in perfect time
He’s swimming against that stormy sea - he’ll just survive and hold the line
I know you’re trapped inside your feelings, with little room left to breathe
Try to open up the windows and show what you’re hiding underneath.
Cause someone you know or will know or have known has changed
They might never learn the difference, before their memories fade
But if you want to see things clearly, you’d better step out of the shade


Cause I get heavy boots when I think about
That empty house and the crush of the crowd
I find it hard to say these things aloud
But that’s maybe how - I carry these things that are weighing me down.


There’s an army of frowns - in faded seaside regency towns
That’ll keep you away from the bed in which you learned to love
But if you find your way back, and find you’ve got a story to tell,
Go find the men in the boardroom, looking through their memories for something to sell.

Cause I get heavy boots when I think about
Those empty words you spoke so loud
It’s easier to keep these things in my head
Than carry the weight that is holding me down instead.
