Sold Out

lyrics

Nobody gave me a key
My cold cheeks just locked outside
Once in a while
You will peak
Out when it's time to confide
Code it through a secret screen
(And filter out all the flickering)
Every word you say is glistening
Yet falling short of meaning
When I'm away
Oh everyone is dreaming
Floating together in waves
But we're just icebergs
Drifting in phase

Trust now flees
Trust now flees
To where our words
Can speak truthfully
Trust now flees
Trust now...

I should have forged your signatures
To bring you within a contract
Agreements of unwritten words
Seems only I give weight to that
I replay all I misperceive
And it consumes me
At 3am I woke watching you
Lobbying a throw
From her of which it's safe
To justify your distance
From a barricade
Who is self making, self hating
But otherwise, otherwise
Ever-changing

Nobody gave me a key
My cold cheeks just locked outside
Once in a while
You will peak
Out when it's time to confide
Code it through a secret screen
And filter out all the flickering

So we just float, float
So we just float, float
The frost will underlie us as
We float, float
Your company defies us as
We float, at a distance
As to never engage

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
