about

Written on my 18th birthday.

lyrics

Think I've had enough now
Think it's time I go
Morning time's a switchblade
And I don't sleep till four
My heart feels so heavy
Though it's just an empty hole
And it wanes in wear
But it don't have a single soul
It feels like an avalanche
that's stuck upon a shelf
No one to tell
So I tell myself

I'm in a band
We play to chairs and floors
We're sick of 808s and hipster pricks with microkorgs
We play in seven-fifteen and we use a thousand chords
Though Wonderwall and Pixies tend to get us more applause
One day they'll all wake up
And the tickets will all sell
No one to tell
So I tell myself

I've got a lot of feelings
But I don't know how to get em out
Sometimes I get so angry
But I'm too withdrawn to shout
I suspect someone has tied up
An anchor to my shoes
I've drawn up plans to free em
But for now I'll sing the blues
For eighteen years eating pieces
of an empty shell
No one to tell
So I tell myself

Used to have a dream
Now it's hard to tell
Now I've got a big old car
I can't afford to fill
And I have friends
Who won't notice when I'm gone
And I've got a bit of money
But the plan's to make some more
One day I'll have all the petrol
To outrun God himself
No one to tell
So I tell myself
