Wave Attack Lyrics by Findlay
I’ve been keeping secrets since the sun stopped shining on my skin
I’ve been feeling heavy from the weather
The air I’m breathing
Outside in the garden
I’d sit with flowers
Counting their colours
To break up the hours
And what we learned from the books
We lost in the riots
So much for all of those
Beautiful paperbacks
Now everything I own
Comes ready plastic wrapped
I look at you all but there’s no eye contact
Too much space between me and who’s staring back
Hopelessly the motions that I go through
Take up all my time
Expanding and contracting in my mind
And trying to block the light
Before there was fire
The future was here
But all I could keep were these strange souvenirs
No matter our intentions
It always ends in tears, in tears
So much for all of us
Beauty will fade to black
Now everything we own
Comes ready plastic wrapped
And I look at you all
But there’s never eye contact
Too much space between me and the looking glass
And when I make my final discovery
Maybe then,
Maybe then you’ll notice me?
But no one,
No one feels anything
Before it’s too late
Just like human beings
