about

Brew yourself a nice cafetiere, pop your 25 pence in the digital slot, and relax. This is going to be an emotional journey (don't forget the tissues).

lyrics

There are times that I remember, through the haze,
A life before the embers burned away,
And eyes were bold and brazen,
And the wind through the walls called my name,
And my friends the same,
Hand in hand we were made,
And the hope we were sold was yet to fray,
But which time ate away,
But those friends aren't here today,

Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could maybe make it right,
Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could finally make it right,

In the eyes of those on who see me there's concern,
A moment there it lingers, but no words,
Of sadness quelling kindness,
Just like me they're afraid to admit,
That they care enough,
To put themselves on the line,
Like a breath on the lips of the dead,
The words are never spoken,
And we bid awkward goodbyes,

Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could maybe make it right,
Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could finally make it right,

Eye asking,
Thoughts hidden,
Deep buried,
Soul Ocean,
Blue dark as death,
Swallows my head,

Days dying,
Sky dusking,
Wind biting,
Time reminding
How much is spent,
How little you've got left,

Maybe one more...

Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could maybe make it right,
Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could finally make it right,

Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could maybe make it right,
Years wasted buried in my shame,
These achings that take me from the,
Ways I could finally make it right.
