Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Congratulations and I'm sorry for your loss
And the sea of complications that you just can't seem to cross
I tell him that he's kind and that I needn't plague his thoughts
I ask him what was mine and what I needed to be taught
[Verse 2]
He smokes a tired roll-up whilst she hoovers round his feet
He tells her she should grow up, but he'd really like to keep
A sense of comfort and nostalgia of melody and beat
Comfort and nostalgia and something he can't repeat
[Verse 3]
I learned today whilst waitin' for the nighttime to arrive
It's one thing to start the motor, it's another thing to drive
And it's even harder goin' when you let go of the wheel
And even harder goin' when stayin' is all you feel
[Verse 4]
Tuesday morning, 6AM, I'm slippin' out of sync
The screen is stained with bloodshot, and the music needs a drink
And all the banters and the shoutin' only made me want it more
And as the time goes by, it will get easy to ignore
[Verse 5]
And to ignore is to escape, and to escape must be to live
And when the cockerel cries, it will be me that you forgive
[Verse 6]
I wish that I was sacred, I wish that I was right
I wish I had the strength to keep my consciousness at night
A circumstance is selfless, and I am selfish too
And I would go for one last swim if I had less to do
