about

Everyone loves the White Album don't they?!

lyrics

I open my eyes, the sun streams behind. Take my first sip of rain to hold of the pain.
Feet nailed to the floor and I can't find the door. Wave blindly at me, I'm drowning you see.
It's desperate I know but I just gotta go. Get out of here, my sweat stinks of fear.
Like a cat back to back, fat tailed and trapped. I chase round and round, I'm spiralling down.

X Ray see through the back of me. Sure shot into the sea of tears.
Shouting, pointing at road signs. Scared of nothing except the passage of time.
Great dead, lived in a wall of glass. 18, bullet like so fast, blameless.
Living by road signs. Scared of nothing except the passage of time.

I stretch out my hand, the skins deeply lined. It's been 20 years alone with this fear.
I have nothing left except a circle of steps. They leads to a door marked forever, for more.

X Ray see through the back of me. Sure shot into the sea of tears.
Shouting, pointing at road signs. Scared of nothing except the passage of time.
Great dead, lived in a wall of glass. 18, bullet like so fast, blameless.
Living by road signs. Scared of nothing except the passage of time.

Seems so lame.

I open my eyes.

I open my eyes, the sun streams behind. Take my first sip of rain to hold of the pain.

X Ray see through the back of me. Sure shot into the sea of tears.
Shouting, pointing at road signs. Scared of nothing except the passage of time.
Great dead, lived in a wall of glass. 18, bullet like so fast, blameless.
Living by road signs. Scared of nothing except the passage of time.
