lyrics

Weighted like a dumbbell
I’m in the kitchen cutting onions
And the salt on my cheeks tastes like black and blue seas crashing over my window

Sipping coffee by the yellow light
Beaming bright onto a violet night
Are those the sails of your ship peeking out from a cover of cumulonimbus ?

But all I see
Is the absence of you
Banality
I sit and I wait

But all I see
Is the absence of you
But all I see
I sit and I wait

Words appear on paper
Confessing crass infatuation
And every word leaves my lips
With the salt taste of sweat dropping off of my eyebrow

It’s hurtful to claim to be prophetic
You’re eating apathy for breakfast
Needing sumptuous elation
Savouring fruits that have oxidised n rotted

Cus all I see
Is the absence of you
Banality
I sit and I wait

All I see is you lamp lit, by the black sea
Crumbling rocks, lighthouse, blue lightning
Godless and forgotten lips locked everlasting
Leaving what we know for what we don’t, what we can’t see

Do I dare to follow or can I stay here without truth
Darling I fear I’m being swallowed by your absence
Heavy is the hull of sinking boats without a crew
It’s true all I see is you
