decade of disrepair - two steps on the water lyrics

Loading...

the eighties live on in my shoulders
i don’t know how that happened
born in the early nineties i
was a scrawny little teen
pushing purple fists through plaster i
was furious sad and so scared
unaware that my walls would fall
into a decade of disrepair
a decade of disrepair
a decade of disrepair

nine nights
burned in my memory
nineteen nights
burned in my memory
ninety-nine nights
burned in my memory

when i was sixteen or seventeen
i opened a bottle of champagne
a celebration of walking
a hundred meters in the dark, and
trauma can live as a silent beast
mine avoided naming for seven years
and on my very being it did feast
but i’ll starve the beast to death

now i’ve got a handful of stories
i’ve got my personal mythology
and i recognise the gods that sheltered me
through a decade of disrepair
a decade of disrepair
a decade of disrepair
a decade of disrepair
