lyrics

Why the sighs and dogtrack curses?
Seal me in, I’ll chase you around
Over-reached my indistinction, take a breath and start again

Curled around as I was sleeping
Didn’t stir, would never know
All in lies and in suspicion
All in light and all in white

Fail us now, write today off and wait
Fail us now, I won’t stay

Softened up by no advances, the tone you’d use would set me off
Sidled off between the watches, so far gone
Stealed himself for not returning, reels as though he’s showing off
You call me a liar for the first time in a long time

Also known as, also known as…
Also known as Altona

Reseal yourself in a warmer place
When the light settles in on the light you stay
To hold onto a familiar place:
To have and not have

My heat is on, my lights are off
In the storm you can stay, you can sleep in the shop
And for all that you know, you’re not making this up
But you cannot know
