They Came Along - BAILE, Haulm

Once I was alone in this room, I saw the fumes from the door

Listen to the sound of my knees, making space in the sand

Tracing all the lines with my eyes

Because my hands won’t stop

Once I was alone in this room

I saw myself separate

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

They came along for the ride

They came along for the ride

They wanted it, more than this

They came along, that’s all they did

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

Counted all the breath, I let out, the way the air saves face

Remembering a time, I called out, but all I got was grey

Turning all the knobs to locked doors

Because my eyes won’t stop

Once I was alone in this room

I saw myself separate

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

I’m loose in my head

They came along for the ride

They came along for the ride

They wanted it, more than this

They came along, that’s all they did
