Hurls Of The Sun

And I squint as the rays start to hit
Another hurl around the sun
But I've got my shit together
Like in those old stories like the
One ya dad used to tell ya
But now it's inbetween my toes
For better or worse
For better or worse
And I squint as the rays start to burn
And I feel a knot of hope and anticipation
At another throw of this dirt ball
Another hurl
Another hurl
Another hurl of the sun
Please don't let me go
Not yet

City life gets the best of me
Even at the best of times
Crowded minds, hurried feet
They think they own the street
And they don't have much else
So I took a trip to a distant cape
It's sacred cliffs spoke to me
But there was so many people
Too many people
Who had stolen the shore
Crowded and barely amused
They were barely amused
I took a trip to a distant cape
They were in the sea
They were on the cliffs
Truthfully
Don't watch your step
Fall

West

Menthol cigarettes mingle with the scent of the eucalypt
Well cockatoos lament the fast food and the bitumen
Sugar highs are just one way to get by
As we converge in this alien space
Most of us
Are away from our homes
It's all we've ever
Come to know
Most of us
Are here to stay
It's what you'd expect
From the smoking west
Sharp and dry glances stare down the stray backpack
Self preservation is the only conversation
Good intentions we don't lack
But it's a whistle in a knife fight
And the mountain haze drifts down onto the plains
But it won't hide our smoking faces
That made this fucking place

Heavy Hold

|

|
The sounds of cities silent
Inside my room
I pass the time patiently
The days just drifting by
Heavy hold
I count the months months inside
Afraid of many more
My gaze start to drift
Can we ever go back
We held on
I missed you all more than I ever knew

Ambur Melbourne, Australia
Harsh octave bass reverberating below a screeching halo of modulated strings spiralling downwards, lanced by ethereal tones, crushed by chaotic percussion. Sometimes nice too.
