Diazepam

from The Lightning Tree by Sam Jones

lyrics

You're doing fine
You're not all that sick
Take your true love
And banish it

You're so defiant
Of colour swarms
We don't always
Get what we want

I don't know what we're lying for
And I don't believe that this is what
We needed all along
My heart rate just keeps sinking more
And there's just no easy way to bring it back
So take this world
Let it collapse

I risked it all
I miss it so much
The summer's breeze
The gentle touch

So rot in this hole
When half at ease
The results will show
My fallacies

I know I've seen this all before
But that doesn't excuse me from
Destroying it all
You're just so fucking beautiful
But there's just no easy way to bring you back
So take this world, let it collapse

In the middle of the night I'll think
Back to how it started
And I'll scratch their names onto my arm
To honour the departed
But we try to keep an even glance
Over their tombs
And we will dance
For admiration and respect
To celebrate the ones who left

And later on we'll collapse in
To hide away from where we've been
Forget that there's a world outside
The gaze of one another's eyes
And that night we will fall asleep
Removed from all the doubts that creep
Into our heads in waking lives
We can't go back
We'll stay till it arrives
