lyrics

main road noise
city sounds
clothed in drought
filter it out
with a sieve
make a shiv
boil over back
to the stomping grounds

main road noise
bathed in doubt
fill the pots with pebbles
and hang them round

your neck to show affection
form a loose connection
fill the walls with plaster
to filter it out

main road noise
city sounds
strap steel cap boots on
and stroll around

on concrete floorboards sturdy
or blow the flame out early
fill the walls up faster
and filter it out

from small bowl
to sophistication of bigger city
it’t not the main road, it’s that I’m I’m I’m

blue sky blinded
I’m reminded
my thoughts confided
I’m still undecided

blue sky blinded
I’m reminded
of the main road
the main road noise

blue sky blinded
I’m reminded
my thoughts confided
I’m still undecided

blue sky blinded
I’m reminded
of the main road
the main road noise

small foals caught in the gritty herd of bigger city
it’s not the road noise but the fogged up sky
that’s the biggest pity
I try my best to filter and unclog with all my might
but when the sieve fills I’m blinded by the bluest sky
as morning light leaks through the comfort of closure securing my eyes
cyan heart bleeds and feeds the winters warming guise
a pillar of nostalgia towards the willowed countryside
rubble indulged walls, now the comfort of the tide

as morning light leaks through the comfort of closure securing my eyes
cyan heart bleeds across the cold winter sky
a pillar of my memory lives in willowed countryside
rubble indulged walls and now the comfort of the tide
