lyrics

Give me the will,
There's desire here.
Hiding under tables,
In the corners of our battered box.
Growing silently,
Best intentions smothered.
Trapped and lonesome.
Trapped and lonesome.

We know your faces.
Insides feel bare.
Devoid of meaning.
Drenched in aesthetics.
"High fives - let's get right on!".
We'll sit in our corner whilst you twiddle your thumbs.

There is life here, I can feel it, in the shadows.
In the shared meaning, themes rise, to the surface.
I feel like dead wood in this tree.
And it feels like the new leaves are rotten.

Tell me I'm wrong. Please tell me I'm wrong.
That there's life here in these roots,
New shoots will spring righteous.
If you don't understand, this song is about you.
