lyrics

I exercise twice daily now
Why can't I breathe
This city now, it suffocates
Is it just me?
I walk around, I talk it up
I quit coffee
I socialise but I can't disguise
Just how I feel

(Instrumental)

I customise, I rearrange
Make it my own
I move in small circles now
Nowhere to go
On paper now, I'm feeling like
I can't complain
But being around
This city now, it's getting stale

Chorus:
Colour, where'd you go
Kill me slowly, muted tones
Turned down low

I cultivate an aura now
I choose my clothes
So carefully, I'm walking tall
Look like I know
But underneath I'm dreaming of
Another place
Another me, forever now
Or just a taste

(Chorus x2)

My food is lacking taste
I let it go to waste
No longer moved by art
Music you break my heart
My food is lacking taste
I let it go to waste
No longer moved by art
Music you break my heart

(Chorus x2)

Now it exists as a kinetic, instrument-swapping three-piece - with longtime collaborators Ed Costello and Richy Kelly.
