lyrics

I can't knock down these walls
Ever so bounding
Always taunting
It's a head wrecking shame
When the switch breaks
I feel the stretch of patience
And my old dreams
Too quick to leave
So I'm swimming where the siren leads
To a world contorted
So far from grounded
Even in my blueprint of life depictions
Every thought stained by contradiction

But when I see your shining crystal eyes
I let it all go
Take on a new perspective
Of sinking lower
Than what's expected

Into a maze
Recede within
So indulged by her reflection
Navigate which words to choose
Tempted by all proven truth
I think she distracts me
To diffract me
Says I need more substance than verse
But I never get close
I always come home
Her effect is subtle
Just watch how my standards can double
Seeking for complex elation
Yet even in my blueprint of life depictions
Every heart crushed by contradiction

Well I hope there's nothing such
As one who never grows
Ignore all the dreams that you stole
Pick out the ones that you own
Regardless of the pedestals

I can't knock down these walls
Ever so bounding
-ver so bounding

Junk Drawer lead the pack, swerving into unsettling territory - I love this band's sheer unpredictability. I remember their gig at Output where they followed an excellent set by The Bonk. These guys are the cat's pyjamas! Ursula's Crow
