Solway Firth lyrics

Today, up on this hill, I’m counting all the killers

They sway as they swarm, a look of gluttons in their eyes

They mutter as the body loses warmth

They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb

And take great care to not take care of YOU

HERE’S AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE

While I was learning to live, we all were living a lie- I guess you got what you wanted

So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal

It’s always somebody else… somebody else was me- you want the real smile?

Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure?

I don’t need you to do it for me/I don’t need you to understand

I don’t need you to hide it from me/ I just want to feel like any other man

I won’t show you the whole story/I won’t show you the aftermath

I won’t show you my allegory

Don’t look away… HERE’S AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE

I’m not ahead of my time- I just drew the first breath- If I’m alive tomorrow

I will alleviate the pressure… by cutting you out of me

I found my bottom line- dead on the front lines- I know I’ll never go home

So set fire to your ships and past regrets and be free

I don’t need you to do it for me/I don’t need you to understand

I don’t need you to hide it from me/ I just want to feel like any other man

I won’t show you the whole story/I won’t show you the aftermath

I won’t show you my allegory

Don’t look away… HERE’S AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

While I was learning to live, you taught me how to die- I guess I got what I wanted

Another needle in the back through purified scarification

It wasn’t somebody else- you fucking did it to me.

You want a real smile?

I haven’t smiled in years.
