A Place To Hide (Sound Klash Dub)

When the sun finally gives in, it kicks and protests

In shades of neon to let you know it isn't finished

It always does that

As if it knows that nothing makes you feel worse

Than typing in grey letters followed by an ellipsis

Sometimes you just gotta let it chew you up

And spit you back out in rhyme and triplet

One perfect sunset'll see me right

One that sets behind the steeples

And the spires of the old cathedrals

Sprott full of the cocktail bars that spawn live people

And I do miss it sometimes, what we had

Mostly when there isn't any music

But sometimes understandably when there is

Sometimes you need a room full of strangers

To make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow

At least

At least that's how it feels

And still it beckons out there on the horizon

Languidly winking

Letting me know that it knows exactly what I'm thinking

And laughs as my phone dies

Which is still the most dramatic thing you say, like, all the time

When my head's fried

My head's fried in rum and ginger beer

My body hurts inside, but my mind stays here

Kinda dark to see you in here actually

It's the sort of night you use to lie

And I do miss it sometimes, what we had

Mostly when there isn't any music

But sometimes understandably when there is

Sometimes you need a room full of strangers

To make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow

At least

At least that's how it feels

Yeah

I love you all, man

Honestly, I do

Yeah, I think I needed this

Sometimes you need a room full of strangers

To make you feel less alone

A place dark enough to make yourself unknown

Unknowable, but home somehow

A place to hide somehow
