Something Unkind - Spring Offensive

You bring to mind the sound

Of everything playing at the same time

And while this orchestra escapes

I remain stuck, paralyzed and still

We moved from house to house

In the vain hope that a different location brings

A new perspective or a spark to our life

But it’s all insignificant change

I am a host to something unkind

It speaks with my voice and it thinks with my mind

It’s wearing me out as it wrestles inside

Talk to me calmly, untangle this vine

You thought that ghost had left you

When you were young but you couldn’t shake it off

It’s six years on and it still follows you around

And it feeds off insignificant change

I am a host to something unkind

It speaks with my voice and it thinks with my mind

It’s wearing me out as it wrestles inside

Talk to me calmly, untangle this vine

The claws are sunk into your back

They found you when disorder struck (4x)

It feels like one of those days

When your head behaves in a different way

To how your body dictates

You are caught in a state, caught in a state

Your foundations started to shake

You were listing the mistakes you’ve made

You struggle under the strain

Of the weight you create, weight you create

The claws are sunk into your back

They found you when disorder struck (4x)

You bring to mind the sound

Of everything playing at the same time
