I Just Flood Lyrics

White noise coming from the second best

And tight-chest dread for the slightest thread of time

And you leave it all behind

1000 hours spent rotting in your room

With the closeted skeletons reclining in the gloom

And the background whir still grinding at the door

Dogs under rainbows chasing tails

That fucking captain's torn up sails

And the me-shaped doorway into my life

Self-analysing anti-therapising

Brain hollowed out by nostalgia and poor timing

Compiling a lackadaisical rhyming scheme

In a mess floundering onto the scene

Seen at the bar like a desert penguin

Deserted and alerted to a truth that's never-ending

Throwing love at your walls to see what sticks

Trying to avoid all its politics

And apparently you never got the rule book

Or the message or the warning or the glass dreams that they took

A box of trophies that you won

A box of memories that you'll burn

And cliché songs about songwriting

From the falling tides come the Next New Thing

Leave it buried, leave it all behind

You're stuck in semi-permanent third person

You're running to an eminent diversion

But those silly little friends can't shout through concrete walls

And your heart bleeds out from the back of bus

And your words fall out and they're so pious

And you're tired and deficient and efficiently losing your mind

And you can't run away from yourself!
