about

From the album 'Yearning for Vitalists' out 24th June 2022.

lyrics

Gazing down
Through a clearing in the clouds
Looks like we all live
In toy towns

In my seat I wait
For things to look real again
I don't know exactly when
It happens

Far horizons in retreat
Bring closer to this dichotomy

You laughed at my t shirt slogan
I had to agree, it made no sense
I love when you're so plain spoken
By accident

You text my phone
With pictures of your food
Like broadcasts from the moon

Like watching footage
Of Victorian school kids
With colour added in
It could be now

So familiar yet alien
The past is an illusion we live in
My dreams are retroscopic
I hope you'll teach me the meaning someday
I know if I forgot it
You'd say
When I wake

I never thought I would meet you
It's obvious but that's the truth though
I can now find out
How yesterday turns out
