lyrics

Kicking in frame,
The photo's ruined,
Dark room's gone bad.
Overexposed
Another summer spitting in a carrier bag.
Big drip,
Slow fade.
The cinematic memory's a dud.
Seething something,
Wants somewhere to call home,
With all his moss and his bones,
All in an orderly pile.

Breath in before you screech to a halt.
Binoculars 'round your navel,
Probably wearing them wrong.
It's something brand new,
But the proof only lives in your mind.

For all I know I could be old
In terms of something far beyond my understanding.
Patience rolled a spare
And I'm just left standing there.

Between the conifers
You lost a glove and three fingers to boot.
Claim it's all worth it,
Not some foolish pursuit of an untruth.
Once frostbitten, half as shy.
The cause has gained a victim
But lost no verity.
In your minds' eye, the horizon is peppered
With looming figures
Who inadvertently stole your digits
But fuelled your belief.

Breathe in
Let the sight fall on it's head.
I loved this elusive creature,
But now I wish it were dead.
'Cause with legs this long
I'm pretty good at kicking myself when I'm down.

For all I know I could be old
In terms of something far beyond my understanding.
Patience rolled a spare
And I'm just standing there.
Yeah I'm left standing there.
Oh, the truth is still out there,
But I'm left standing. Yeah.
