lyrics

I’ve disposed of the city, returned to the city
Dreams are on a platter, someone put them out for me
It’s so nice to be valued, to be warm and consistent.

Every melody the same, it’s a summer parade
The dry Brisbane grass is always scratchy and strange
And I sit and watch the flowers, as they're dying in the distance.

I’m not above cheating, exploiting my friends
Oh, talking the line, depressive content
Cause I’ve been walking for miles you ask why, I don’t know, but it sure feels better.

In the meeting, in the bathroom, softy speaking, you’re beside yourself
And I don’t know what to ask you, washer buzzing like a tyrant
But if we don't talk like this, I don’t know what we’d talk about.

On your mind, does it make you feel better?
Take your time, does it make you feel better?
She offered me some good advice
You didn’t need to tell me twice.

Comfort food is always making us burst
I’ve got a thing in my side and it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts.

Cause the most tangible things never last
Simply holding yourself and the roots of your past
It’s so damn tiring, to think about it all the time.

But I’ve, got it all figured out
From this perspective the moons always the brightest
Dimming neighbourhood scenes, so obscene, the kids were so disappointed.

An awkward display, a consolatory gaze
Sitting on the front porch, silent urban malaise
Are these fears I’ve made real? I think that makes it worse.

On your mind, does it make you feel better?
Take your time, does it make you feel better?
She offered me some good advice.
You didn’t need to tell me twice.

You’re trying, you’re trying, you’ll be there for the audience
Oh you’re trying, you’re trying, used to wake up so excited
Oh you’re trying, you’re trying, your solipsism’s dying
Keep trying, keep trying to breathe
