about

The second single from Ordinary // Colours.

Workplace frustrations abound. Hey...keep it to yourself. But shouldn't I say something? (C'mon, shout!) Nah, it's easier to wait 'til next time. I'm sure I'll get it right then.

lyrics

Everyone's trying to speak
In empty spaces.

Echoing off the walls,
All mixed and dissonant.

That's why we'll try to fight,
Again, again, again.

Because I don't want to be part
Of the gossip.

Seeking to stay on my own
Because living is hard to do.

They'll find all our friends,
Than our friends
Won't believe us too.

There is no sense in finding relief,
Your desperations emerge from beneath.
Losing what little incentive we had,
Turn my back towards you,
From the start, from the start, from the start.

Attempting to clear out the disharmonies
In my head.

But I can't speak for the voice
I feel in my heart (my heart).

Would I be able to adopt
A hypocritical stance?

Do you really think that you're better
Than anyone else?

There is no point in trying to find,
Acting out through all the pretence and lies.
Hiding your roots,
You'll snuff out those smiles.
Leave all the mouths laughing out
At the end, at the end, at the end.

Frustration,
Seek frustration,
Sing in frustration...
