lyrics

Been mastering pissing the years away
Flooding through hundreds of streets
Sipping on champagne at my expense
I scrubbed their carpet stains for treats

Years in the clouds getting to know thin air
Peeled fingers wanting to drop
To equalize the pressure there
For the ocean on top on top

Selling memories to keep the power on
And funding everything else from hell
I accepted this arrangement long ago
When this fall became fell

A cocktail of no trade to offer
And a finite turn of the hands
Sacrificing a suspension bridge
For a tightrope from land to land

And all the while the clock keeps ticking
Your tinder waits for a spark
Your final chance has brought you back home
Here at the halfway mark

Bringing more baggage back from every trip
Yet still I stuck to my guns
I gave up the ghost with no hitching post
Just a job that got in my lungs

One brought hope it was the cruellest of all jokes
When I left behind distant lands
The welcome home gift on nobody’s list
To carry a dream in bound hands

An hour to erase a year and replace
A life with a father’s lie
A poor mental state to reintegrate
The new me calcifies

Back at the same spot and whether or not
The trips were worth the cost
All I know is I am a quieter man
My voice and time that’s been lost
