Old Songs Now

(album: Rome - 2020)

Outside's holding
Composed, contained
I suppose you could say
Inside the bath's gone cold
And there are berries in the bracken
I can't tell if they are poison

But I keep holding on
Til I turn into an old song now
Can I turn into an old song now

Yeah, I keep holding
Though the mirror holds revision
It's not the mirror that is changing

And I keep moving on
We are moving through the ether
We are singing all the old songs

Industrial bracken and ruin
Outside of the window
In the dust light of the moon
Til I turn into an old song now
Til I turn into an old song now

Oh, and through all the little victories
The paper cuts and savagery
Oh, I still find that it is your voice
I'm drawn to in the chorus
Oh, can I turn into an old song now?

And I keep searching
I am searching for the silence
I keep filling up with new songs

Or do I strike you as a vulture
Circling the carrion
Of all the old wrongs?
Can I turn into an old song now?

And through all the little victories
The paper cuts and savagery
Oh, I keep finding it is your voice
I'm drawn to in the chorus
Oh, can I turn into an old song now?

And through all the little victories
The paper cuts, the savagery
Oh, can I turn into an old song now?

I still find that it is your voice
I'm drawn to in the chorus
Can we turn into an old song now?
