Seventy Two

Alex should I run away
For my strength and for my health
Or Alex should I stay at home
Give my time to something else
You sit there like your father
Reading from your fathers stoic shelf
Option A was never yours
I see the bed you made yourself
Alex I can't hold my words
Hold my fire, hold my breath
Alex I'm a bursting stream
The water breaches comes to rest
Alex I can't pray to god
Seventh day in Sunday best
But Alex I could save myself
Hang my head and live again

Winter creeping through the walls
Insulation put to test
I couldn't breathe the first few nights
The freezing air and all the rest
I feel like you would know me if
I staying inside the shed all year Maybe your as scared as me
Or Seventy-two ate your fears

I hope seventy-two ate your fears

Alex I can't fall asleep
What if the words escape me there
The Navy closed the lighthouse
I'm leaving for The Skye my friend
