Like A Blade Of Grass

Diamond fuzziness falling from the past

when you stand next to me it rains and I feel myself getting older

The greatest thing to do is look at my reflection

And realise how bent youth really is

And all the celebration that has been wasted on rubbish and flesh

Is pulled apart in the morning-after like a blade of grass 

And the dreams of homeless men fighting over the soft skin of a young boy

Hesitation kills friendships and the mess you have left is not for me to clean

So the eye that stares at me from its cave continues to stare

with a chain of flowers around the neck and a giant clear drop 

leaking from its past

But where will I stand when you are on your plane?

So high with the headphones on

And I am not going to believe in the philosophies of fools

And I refuse to close doors to see if another opens

Just take me by the hand and accept i am lonely

See further than the kitchen window, further than your own rubbish pile

I fell under blankets

Like I fell under water 

and I want to drown

I want to get swept away

With your name on my lips

With your bruises on my chest

But the past is bent like youth is tried

And I have been executed by my peers

By the friends who will never see my hair turn grey

I wanted them to be star fish

But in turn they got selfish

So I climbed the stairs and found my leather shoes

I found the riding helmet, it was my mothers

And I found my suitcase

It was time to leave

There is a road being washed with my foot prints in the rain

A fence by it's side with rocks painted white

I can't deny when I sing your song animosity leaves

But there is still a blueness on my lip

There is still a cancer eating at my tear

I want to die in Turkey

With the church bells and the sacred tongue

I want to forget you 

Leave you all in the city of Dominoes 

Leave you all crashing down

Our past won't save anything anymore

It's an echo that burns like a star

And the more it fades the less things we have to guide us
