lyrics
Standing out in the shitty weather
Bus is taking more than a while
His horizons keep getting closer
But his stare goes on for miles
Splits are growing in his pocket lining
And his prospects are looking grim
The last 15 minutes or 15 years of rain
Are soaking through his skin
The voices coming fast
The light is fading quick
The time has come to make a big decision
Something that's gonna stick
Why don't you stop blasting that static
I can barely hear myself think
You can drag me to that toxic river
But you can't force me to drink
I know you'd love to see me beg for you
I know you'd love to see me crawl
But the higher you climb over me
The further you've got to fall
He's been in and out of hospitals
He feels his health is getting worse
The doctor says there's nothing wrong with him
But he's suspecting that he might be cursed
A flashing glimpse of the apocalypse
From deep within his sunken eyes
They keep forcing him to try force a smile
When he can't even bring himself to cry
He sees them light the fuse
He hears the ticking bomb
The truck is swerving he's the one who's steering
He's barely holding on
Could you please give me some distance
Give me one moment to breathe
How the hell do you expect me to state my case
When you keep kicking me in the teeth
I know you love to stand upon my neck
I know it makes you feel so tall
But the higher that you hold your head
The further its got to fall.
Livestreaming the sponsored bush fire
As god plays violin from a high rise building
New prophets on the cat walk
Sunbathing in western apathy
Dripfed anxiety from a government handout
Shaking our arses to the death knells of society
It's all very sexy, it's all very european
And sinking into isolation
Brings the comfort
Of being the main character
In your very own mental health crisis
And when I go and try to cross the street
I see red I see red I see red
And why I close my eyes and try to sleep
I see red I see red I see red
I see red, I see red
And I'm jumping at the telephone
I see red, I see red,
And I'm scared to go out on my own
Here on the hillside baby
Watching the flames
See how the ashes baby
Fall like the rain.
