lyrics

Where did it come from, I don’t know
But it’s testing out my sanity
I’m in a boat that I just can’t row
And I just can’t see how I’m taking 5 and 6 degrees
Out of my philosophies
And I’m stuck on this repeat
And I’m on my knees
Wishing I could stand up like the Sycamore trees
Of my memories

I found a nest in the overgrowth
of a garden near a stand of trees
now I need to find my way home
but I still can’t see how I’m taking 5 and 6 degrees
Out of my philosophies
And I’m stuck on this repeat,
And I’m on my knees
Wishing I could stand up like the Sycamore trees

It’s a dark energy, running through my mind
my soul and my body
These kids don’t want to go to sleep
There’s a black dog nipping at their feet
Spreading dark energy

Should be sailing seas or climbing trees
Working out geographies
Making things I’ve never seen
Not crawling on the street
Wishing I could stand up like the Sycamore trees

It’s a dark energy, running through my mind
my soul and my body
These kids don’t want to go to sleep
There’s a black dog nipping at their feet
Like a satellite spinning round with glee
Seems it’s always gonna be there circling me
Spreading dark energy

I found a nest in the overgrowth of a garden
at the edge of the meadow
and I swore I’d find my way out.
