Old Earth

It's never easy, I'm signing up for healing
Time living's the meaning, just dealing with the leaving
Everybody's frontin' 'til they crack and start leaking
From the eyes for-, no, actually, scrap that, a great reason
Some I knew better than others, now you're my sky brothers
Say 'What's on?' to my grandad, visit for a cuppa
He's a funny fucker, the one and only
Used to taunt and take the piss because my clothes were worn and holey

And looking back ain't the same, but it makes me smile
So, I'll be holding onto that for forever and a while
West Country boy, and this life's full of styles
Got to get over it, start weak, get strong, fuck denial
And the drugs they're supplying, really ain't reliable
Come the morning, I'm still asking myself 'Why's it true?'
Then the pen to the page, no need for names
I'm sure they all watch me struggle writing this today

Right now, I only care about free women
I just lost one that's been there from the beginning
Always wish you'd done something when the light's dimming
Late night, head spinning, wishing you were still living
Then I awoke and remember that it ain't true
A type of emptiness that's hard for me to paint you
It's something that we all have to go through
I seen it at a young age from a Grim Reaper's view

This is just me to you, now he's feeling it personally
The cycle is the only thing that lives for eternity
Still, I'm flipping out, see, you tryin' to get the worst from me
Numb with a certainty, fucking up purposely
But what's it earning me? I'm never healing
No words I could speak could ever express this feeling
It's still peace to the lost, but not forgotten
It's time for me to heal before my mind turns rotten

Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing

Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing

Tears run like rivers on a face you ain't seeing
I'm curled up, spaced out, concealed while I'm grieving
Heart feels hollow, pain barely left it beating
Seeming like it's broken, feel emotion over reason
'Cause, nah, I won't see 'em, see, yes, I'm soul seeking
Asking why they gotta leave us, where are they? Am I dreaming?
Holding onto memories developed when they're breathing
Not vessels in the cemetery buried in the deepness

To heavens, they're retreating
I'm teathered to the messages that's headed to your speaker
Tryin' to get this to the people for the healing they're all needing
When they're on their knees screaming and bleeding, the pain is ceasing
Let it out, it is relieving
Both finding peace when, still, don't do just be
After all, we're human beings, not human doings
Who all need some healing when death is passed through us

With them hazy eyes, we share pains alike
Day and night, thinking about you, I feel the pain in my mind
Looking for that life-line in the night sky
Though patterns twisted, kinda like a tie-dye
Ye, we know that life's finite
So why try to hide like the pain isn't there
When in hindsight, well, I probably wallowed in it too much
And didn't see who I still had until I grew up

Relate through mistakes, life lessons
Define lives essence, behind my questions
No easy answers, but infinite suggestions
Stop, let me hold your weight up while you're resting
Put aggression to the side, let the shield down
Not time to fight, cos we must heal now
Looking up, and it's gray, so you feel down
But we gotta live each day, not see 'em out

Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing

Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing
