The Sound Your Life Makes

	Keeping blows low
	Slow and steady you win the race
	Crying on your shoulder
	Declared me your opponent late that day
	An empire builds to break
	When you’re around it makes a sound
	It carries me away
	Oh my bones
	Becoming weak and brittle from the wrong wrong notes
	The session player keeps repeating over
	With a poker face
	Like he’s never heard of grace
	It’s not his fault
	His poor paid job makes him hesitate
	If i hide away would you come back to me?
	If i make my mind up naturally
	We keep tearing out the pages
	From the books we’ve read so many times
	Looking for elation in other people’s lives
	Every new year consumed with solutions we despise
	But what’s the point in trying if you’re always on my mind?
	Met my ghost
	He taught me how to own up to the little knives i’d thrown
	You need your mother’s love like you need a home
	Until the sound your life makes
	Becomes your favourite place
	It’s all your fault
	Just play your part
	Listen to what they say
	They say “oh oh my my”
	If i hide away would you come back to me?
	If i make my mind up naturally
	We keep tearing out the pages
	From the books we’ve read so many times
	Looking for elation in other people’s lives
	Every new year consumed with solutions we despise
	But what’s the point in trying if you’re always on my mind?
