lyrics

Home. A 40 minute crawl, by public bus until I reach the prison walls.
No men behind the bars, sound of a fight set to drums and country guitars.
My mopped floor fills with light, as I hum the song I work on every night.
Chained to it's bars and beat, as my guitar weeps into the evening street.

Noone ever really had their life saved by a song.
Nothing ever changes with the chords and crying.
We'll keep writing down our wrongs, it heals us just enough to keep you dying, to keep you dying.

Years, have slipped right through my strings, like a bird that is caged by the song it sings.
There's music in my blood, in every drop that fills my hands that push this mop.
I hear the man in black, he's playing 'Greystone Chapel' against the yells and claps.
I was told it's Glen Shirley's song, that that gets out, well I don't give him long.

The heave of bodies roar, through the walls you can't tell if it's joy labour or fighting.
Their feet as they stomp the floor, they move in step with routine, the true music of their time here.

Noone ever really had their life saved by a song.
Nothing ever changes with the chords and crying.
We'll keep writing down our wrongs, it heals us just enough to keep you dying, to keep you dying.

Something tethered to the geography of disremembered places—a communion of wonder and dereliction. These places of influence are used as a kind of vocabulary for the human interior— for unstable landscapes of self. ... more
