about

The single mix of When It Gets Dark. Taken from the album, Digging your own grave. - released March 31, 2023.

lyrics

I wrote a note,
Down on my hand,
Establishing,
My evening plans.
I’ll go upstairs,
I’ll clean your room,
Make us a meal,
To see us through.

We can go for a walk through a frozen park,
Look for where the geese go when it gets dark.
Cut tight close to a dinner scene,
Even if we can’t see it, we can still eat green.

But all these talks,
They come to nothing,
And I start to feel,
As though you’re bluffing.

When I can see you there,
Battling it all beyond the stairs.
We could take our share,
Each get a portion of your despair.

I wrote these words,
Down in a book.
When this is over,
Please take a look.
Not what you need,
Or what you’re after,
But there’s space for you,
In my next chapter.

I can see you standing there,
Still waiting for the world to care,
No life that’s lived is ever fair,
We’re here to help you from your chair,
Detach yourself from dangerous views,
Don’t ever let your bad thoughts choose,
So grab your coat, put on your shoes.

We can go for a walk through a frozen park,
Look for where the geese go when it gets dark.
Cut tight close to a dinner scene,
Even if we can’t see it, we can still eat green.
Tonight we can watch your favourite movie,
Fantastic Mr Fox, on a beaten up blu-ray.
Go to the pub and make a start,
On getting out of here and looking at art.
