He was never into pale reflection
He was never into fireside
Always wishing on a world war Christmas
Mummy smiling down without her eyes

Round and round in circles
Pushing out the past
I don’t want you she said
Paint this picture fast

Hear you breathing so lightly

Trying to cover your blinded side
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run from the old demise
You know who you are
Trying to count, but the clock says nil
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run, but you just stand still
Fill your lungs with air

Could you lie here when the ceiling crumbles?
Could you swim beneath a steely sea?
Open letter to an absent parent
In the fire with the enemy

Round and round in circles
Pushing out the past
I don’t want you she said
Leave this picture fast

Hear you breathing so lightly

Trying to cover your blinded side
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run from the old demise
You know who you are
Trying to count, but the clock says nil
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run, but you just stand still
Fill your lungs with air
Round and round in circles
Running out of air
Caught in endless cycles
Burn all the bridges if you dare

Trying to cover your blinded side
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run from the old demise
You know who you are
Trying to count, but the clock says nil
Pull your heartstrings
Trying to run, but you just stand still
Fill your lungs with air
