I Still See 05:06
My heart is a million miles away Lost in some paradise All alone Your voice calls my inner voice to pray Keeps me from paralysed On the phone Take me, oh you’re so far away, far away from my arms My chest beats pound for pound, Vein to vein, Sun to ship to shore This kiss wrapped in paper packaging So delicate, crystalline Wrapped in tin It’s all that I’ve got for nourishing Vitamins feed my spine Feed me in I still see you In the backs of my eyelids Hid right there, hid right there And still I see you’re on some other horizon Oh just be home, be home, be home. Oh please don’t leave me on my I just won’t make it alive It starts in a hurricane It starts in a hurricane I’m torn from the rope burn to the bone So easy to dive Just trapped in a hurricane, just trapped in a hurricane Oh please don’t leave me on my I just won’t make it alive Start again My heart is a million miles away Lost in some paradise Start again

Matches 04:20
Strike against the wall There’s no going home tonight. My features are stone So cold, so cold, how can I Believe there’s something good Inside, In time I need time I need more than time To make make this feel right How I want your life Strike against the wall, There’s no going home tonight I feel this cold cold inside In time I need time I need more than time This time always Goes so slowly How I want your life

My life grows on your sleeve Fed on mildew and tea Now something’s happened Something strange and beautiful We made something usable Out of pain And…. It’s now beating again Ribcage made out of tin and Sloe emotion And this, how it is, how it is, how it is For the lost and found And this, only this, only this kiss keeps me from Falling down And we made this complicated mess of Etc, and ladeda Into this Little bliss

about

'Ribcage' follows a character in the grips of total obsession with an unnamed entity (‘I Still See’), every moment spent dreaming of its possession and terrified of its desertion. This leads to losing all in its pursuit (‘Matches’) and reflecting on how their life has been squandered, envying those who’ve never had to experience the same. Release is found through acceptance that this cannot be (‘Lost And Found’) and they are left with a new sense of renewal, recovery and hope, ready to begin again.
