lyrics

I ran to the bar that I had left
Where what's good burns your flesh
I ran there, patroned alone
I left my watch out in the snow
"I missed you" said the barman inside
They took my coat and then, once again, I lived their retrograde nights

And I know that the orbits will change
And the sky will go bright
But I won't be alright
'Cause I know that I'm just not with me
Can't even say it feels wrong
'Cause I don't feel. At all.

They ask how I am. I don't know what they mean.
I say I'm fine, but I'm not me
I notice empty glassware and eyes
They could be ghosts. So could I.
The barman puts an old record on
It's my favourite tune, but the words are all backwards, I can't sing along

And I know that there's windows and lights
And there's no locks or keys
But they won't let me leave
And it's summer, but it's pissing down mercury
Follows me home, and gonna swallow me whole

And they think that I'm sleeping at home
That I make my own tea
That I feel my bones
But I don't.
