lyrics

The eighties live on in my shoulders

I don’t know how that happened
Born in the early nineties I
was a scrawny little teen
Pushing purple fists through plaster I
was furious sad and so scared
Unaware that my walls would fall
into a decade of disrepair
A decade of disrepair
A decade of disrepair

Nine nights
Burned in my memory
Nineteen nights
Burned in my memory
Ninety-nine nights
Burned in my memory

When I was sixteen or seventeen
I opened a bottle of champagne
A celebration of walking
A hundred meters in the dark, and
Trauma can live as a silent beast
Mine avoided naming for seven years
And on my very being it did feast
But I’ll starve the beast to death

Now I’ve got a handful of stories
I’ve got my personal mythology
and I recognise the gods that sheltered me
through a decade of disrepair
A decade of disrepair
A decade of disrepair
A decade of disrepair
