LYRICS

I’m sorry brother
For my silence
But at least now I’ve been hurt
I’m certain that violence draws a curtain
Around what we have and what’s been had.

It was never my intention not to be your friend
But who can read the notes that fallen angels send when
Bleached of all light hurt can stop you seeing through
Wide open eyes.

There’s a child in here somewhere
That thought it never could be scared.

I’m sorry mother,
For I have no tattoos
Just a chart of branding and bruise
And stereo scars in binary
From what I thought was love
In its cruel finery.

It was never my intention not to be your friend
But who can read the notes that fallen angels send when
Bleached of all light hurt can stop you seeing through
Wide open eyes.

It was never my desire to be a battleground
A fraught and fought for lost-and-found
A Sunday beach-clean cinema screen
Projected on to and barely seen
By wide open eyes.

There’s a child in here somewhere
That thought it never could be scared.

Well that idea came home to roost
Vertiginous and raw;
A skull plucked clean of flesh by birds
Who in kindness shouldn't say they saw
It coming a fair few shipwrecks back.
