Album: Young Animal Hearts
You bring to mind the sound of everything
played at the same time
And while this orchestra escapes
I remain stuck, paralyzed and still
We moved from house to house
in the vain hope that a different location brings
a new perspective or a spark to our life
But it’s all insignificant change
I am a host to something unkind
It speaks with my voice
and it thinks with my mind
It’s wearing me out as it wrestles inside
Talk to me calmly, untangle this vine
You thought that ghost had left you
when you were young
but you couldn’t shake it off
It’s six years on and it still follows you around
And it feeds off insignificant change
I am a host to something unkind
It speaks with my voice
and it thinks with my mind
It’s wearing me out as it wrestles inside
Talk to me calmly, untangle this vine
The claws are sunk into your back
They found you when disorder struck
It feels like one of those days
when your head behaves in a different way
to how your body dictates
You are caught in a state, caught in a state
Your foundations started to shake
You were listing the mistakes you’ve made
You struggle under the strain
of the weight you create, weight you create
The claws are sunk into your back
They found you when disorder struck
You bring to mind the sound of everything
played at the same time.
