  • How many words did you come up with today?
    How many words do you want to hear tonight?
    You flare up but beneath lies defeat.
    I see your eyes now and they are calm.

    I've answered enough phones for one life.
    I've worn too many ties around my neck.

    I wake up and I find a trace of you there.
    So sullen, your words haunt the air
    I wake up and I find a trace of you there.
    So sullen

    Taking long walks in perfect silence.
    Joined together in useless harmony.
    Your hard breath means that you're upset.
    An overheated North-West bliss.

    But I've answered enough phones for one life.
    I've worn too many ties around my neck.

    Just wait and see.
    I don't know much about bravery
    But I'll raise you up
    With my bad jokes and loose promises.
    She said to think of her when I'm alone
    But I'm never alone
    When I want to be.

    I wake up and I find a trace of you there.
    So sullen, your words haunt the air
    I wake up and I find a trace of you there.
    So sullen, your words haunt the air
    Your words haunt the air Writer/s: Archis Tiku, Duncan Robert Lloyd, Lukas James Wooller, Paul Anthony Smith, Thomas Alexander English
