The flume.
I was shooting down to my grave.
Sadly, in my head.
I was told to lie back.
Relax, in my hospital bed.
There's nothing wrong with you
Why do you think differently?
Certain things I could savour.
Streaming Asthmatic Kitty's son,
Chocolate dusted coffee,
a gentle morning run.
Chlorinated water,
A sure (safe) routine.
My love hate relationship with the West Hill,
A kite being willed by your half sized hands.
But. Mostly you.
How could I forget the night, you held me?
Shushed me to sleep.
Taught me that I don't need to try and breathe
Taught me that I don't need to try.....and breathe.
Put your head on my stomach,
watch your eyes slow rise up to mine.
Everything passes.
Even the unpredictable weather
is calmer than your mind.
Even stars coming together
are calmer than your mind.
Feeling the ground,
Even the plates beneath it are calmer than your mind.
It will pass. It is passing. I love you.
New Years
Early 2011.
I believe that
this is the most vivid time
of my 28 years
Can still feel the bathing water
filled with my tears.
Get yourself together son.
Get yourself together
Post Christmas.
You occupied my mind .
Working in a warehouse.
Drinking vodka sodas.
I drowned but shined
Listening to 'Evening Kitchen'
with belief to find.

Get yourself together son.
Get yourself together.
Get yourself together.
There's a concert on at the Afton Hotel
and I want you boys to headline.

Those tried years.
Those tried years.
Those tried years.
I was never faking it, never faking it,
In those tried years.
Hearing you offering one night
but nothing else, was the worst I've ever felt.

The Flume
The room was painted
with strong opinions
Those colours brighter
than the room's intentions
Our legs spread for law enforcement
Shattered dreams
Show homes are only for sleepwalkers
And now these cats pounce on our confusion
The flume, you were shooting down, with too long to live.
