lyrics

This is a message for myself when I’m sitting by the sea in some years
I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now

I’ve not been taught by my character to show how I’m feeling
In face I’ve been taught by my character not to show how I’m feeling

I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now
I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now

Right now I don’t feel soft, gentle, kind, giving, unconditionally loving,
Friendly for the fucking sake of it, like I give a shit

I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now
I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now

Right not I feel rage that I don’t feel’s been entirely conveyed
To those to whom I wish it be, most notably my [ascendent] family
This is a message for myself when I’m sitting by the sea in some years:
I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now

I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now
I couldn’t hear you then but I hear you now
I couldn’t see you then but I see you now

Cos I’m tattooed from my head to my toe
I’ll burn everything I own
I’ll cut all my hair off
Go to the sea and sing

In the sunlight
In the moonlight
By the fire’s side
And at sunrise

In the sunlight | child of the jungle
In the moonlight | child of the city
By the fire’s side | child of the forest
At sunrise | child of the sea
