lyrics
It doesn’t hurt me.
I didn’t realise I was in such pain.
Probably because I wasn’t. I was in a passive, black and white pain, because I knew.
Because I saw it coming.
Because I’m used to it.
Or maybe because I’m not 22 anymore.
I was keeping myself from jumping, from diving too deep in. I knew, and I was broken.
Maybe this is gonna be how I am from now on.
Maybe it’s not about sensing the bad stuff coming, maybe it’s about changing, irrevocably.
How life changes us.
How the shit that happens to us changes us. Irreversibly.
How we fall in love.
How we keep ourselves from falling too much.
How we stretch a safety net before jumping from now on, after having broken a few bones.
After having almost thrown up our own heart.
After seeing our own blood, staining the ground. Staining the sheets.
Blurring our sight. Blood, blood.
So we no longer fall in love, anymore.
We trip, we stumble in love. We get vertigo, and we realise how hard we’d fall.
So we cling to the staircase balustrade, and start going down. 2.18 Slowly.
Slowly we step down, then crouch, then kneel. Slowly we take off our shields, one at a time.
One wrong move,one loud noise and the shields are back on, and we run back up the stairs.
Cutting ourselves on the way.
The time it took to put that shield back on, we were vulnerable. And now we’ve got a bloody lip.
And we look down again, and we just see that sharp edge that cut deep in our lip, and the wound is throbbing, and that’s the only thing we see anymore.
And we cry, softly. Silently.
On top of the stairs. Looking down.
Because we’re hurt, because we knew we could get hurt, but also because our past experience of getting hurt allowed us to get out of it with just a bloody lip this time.
But that, knowing that, that hurts.
And we know this isn’t gonna get better.
And we’re scared all the time.
This is something we’ve gotta learn to live with.
Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
