lyrics

Through these polarised lenses Above the wire fence there
The smoke from that chimney glows blue against clouds cut with grey
It shifts and it spills
and shimmers and mingles
and dissipates slowly and
floats its way into the haze
I’m drifting exhausted
My head feels like sawdust
I’m headspun and I’m awestruck
and I’m not sure if this is my day
I’ll turn up for work
But the process of processing
all of this mind-melting music
has blown me away
I’m made of this landscape
Vast and flat and half awake
I’m made of black charcoal
Dusted smudging carbon soul
Through these polarised lenses
A rainbow sits flat there
on the water that’s captured and captive at the edge of the track
It sparkles and jumps at me
and my head’s on a long lens
But I’m happy with the curve
of this seat in the small of my back
I’m swimming in thoughts
that I can never hold on to
And they’re thick in the water
Stained shiny and oily and black
And I’m willing this train
to roll on past my station
Then shudder in defeat
and then break down
And never come back
I’m made of this landscape
Vast and flat and half awake
I’m made of black charcoal
Dusted smudging carbon soul
