Small World (Recorded in the Woods) Lyrics

The pool dries

Our humanity slides

Slips past any connecting parts

It's a small world

We say to each other

Really our worlds

Just shrink that much smaller

There's not much more

To say about it

Except we miss just one other

A beach with no water

Did I drink it?

Or have I fallen?

Are we all just bodies cooking in the sun?

It's a small world

They say to you

There's never anyone

We fixate on

In 5 years' time

What do you wanna do?

I want to belong

They'll never change

But they're wrong

They look at me

I look straight past them

A great monolith

Of memories that didn't happen

Exactly how long

Does I take to connect with one person?

The crowd shouts

As if from fucking heaven

"Idealist boy turn to stone

'less you think you have a choice

'Cos we'll fuck around

We'll plan around

We'll spend amounts

Then we'll let you down

We're ghosts to you now

Follow our prints on the ground"

Neither lovers

Acquaintances

A sugar that's tasteless

It's a small world

They say to you

There's never anyone

We fixate on

In 5 years' time

What do you wanna do?

I want to belong

They'll never change

But they're wrong
