route i took 08:34
we're hiking deep water. we're all covered up. screaming hearts out. face down in the rough. plant the right hooks & wait for them to blossom. preparing the way the fall we'll try to soften. it's just the route i took. why don't you take a look. read the open book. your heart is being shook. i pull back the whispers. but the windows a fall. we climb out the pit. but at sunrise we fall. we brave the weather. to find a circuit breaker. the light we trip on's a foundation shaker. it's just the route i took. why don't you take a look. read the open book. your heart is being shook. the rain it washed away our selfharm. awoke the wounded sailor. who set of the alarm? it'll martyre the first or last. but when it's sunday morning. head down begin the task. it's just the route i took. why don't you take a look. read the open book. your heart is being shook. you'll drink it all up. and eat away your crazies. i'll sit and write reams of unused pages. spend your life sighing. questioning if he's dead. say's too much yet leaves it all unsaid. it's just the route i took. why don't you take a look. read the open book. your heart is being shook. i'll drive around for hours. bleed through my pen. let the rats run upstairs. round and back again. three blind days a recipe to read. the stove is burning yet the carving knife's freed. it's just the route i took. why don't you take a look. read the open book. your heart is being shook . slowly weave this tapestry of time. peace by piece a picture foms in our mind. by the time we awake we can't get back. the birds have eaten all our breadcrumb tracks. it's just the route i took. why don't you take a look. read the open book. your heart is being shook. it's just the route i took. it's just the route i took.

a boxer. a loner. i'm fighting for truth dreaming of losing another loose tooth shadow boxing. it's just shadow fighting. she's like lightening. you'll find it quite frightening. well keep tightening. become mighty & sing. who's the king? gotta shout to win. who care's about the dead? when it's all passed over & conclusions are met. who care's about the dead? when it's all passed over & conclusions are met. tear through this crazy forest. back to where we started. face the demons screaming through the lakes. more dreaming. were screaming. head down. come on. keep fighting forever. gotta stay strong. the devils on our trail. as they drive another nail. torn apart by powers unknown. walking lost away from our thrones. one thing i know is we've gotta keep going. who care's about the dead? when it's all passed over & conclusions are met. who care's about the dead? when it's all passed over & conclusions are met.

wondering 04:52
i got annihilated last night if anyone had pushed me i'd have got into a fist fight i drunk to forget you & all the heartless things you make me do & i just keep wandering just keep wondering trapped between where we hear & what we speak all these words clamour & echo the longer it grows try to make your amends but it's been so long i just can't comprehend stop to try & befriend a duck for a while i think i might of fucked up but i'm nothing i'm just me so it flew away & just let me be so i just keep wandering just keep wondering had to stop to try and retrace my steps i didn't want to get caught in your nets dipped my toes into frogspawn flew the superman kite if we are what we will then she just might & i just keep on wondering just keep on wondering
