Troubled Land

Free ride the green tide, bleak sky to seaside
Seek far and seek wide for real heart and deep pride
Think back to knee-high, skip clap and tree climb
Stop trying to grow up and hit up the rewind
Whether you live once or if you live twice
Live love and uplift, don't give up and sit stuffed
All stitched up and sun-kissed, sick of the fun bits
Sick as a strumpet and blitzed 'til you've sunk ship
No need to cling on 'til wisdom has flunked it
Think how the thick crowd have fucked it
Think on everything and nothing
Think til it's not worth discussing
Think how the cosmos still haven't sunk in
Think til you're no longer bluffing
Til each idea becomes something
Think til you let go the power you're drunk with
And hold your head high with the grace of a young king

I don't know if I'll ever be the same
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
I don't know of a recipe for change
I just wanna gain the upper hand
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land

They said come for refuge, live love and let loose
Give up the excuse, it's tough I'm vexed too
This stuff can get you and disrupt the best move
You want the headroom to navigate
So you can have a say, have a break
Become a man who plays, add to your accolades
They said I had to pray
They talked about a hand of grace, so I ran away
I ain't a man who prays but this is man apart
I mean they got me before I had a chance
They knew my face, you have to laugh
But soon it fades, and you just ruminate
I lay awake, my energy is drained
I'd readily refrain from this self-harm weapon that my memories became
I worry bout people that I'll never see again

I don't know if I'll ever be the same
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
I don't know of a recipe for change
I just wanna gain the upper hand
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land

In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land

In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
In this love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
This love-forsaken, aching, troubled land
