about

Soundtrack to how it feels when you lose everything, and all you can do is sit drinking warm lager talking shit in a stranger's sitting room at 4am.

lyrics

Afterparty

You never ask me how I feel, or what I’m doing
‘Cause these are the topics that we shouldn’t be pursuing.
But in these secret hours, at the end of the club-
between the music stopping and the sun peeking through the gap in the curtains
We’re beautiful x 3

I can love without shame and
you can feel without blame,
in each other’s arms.
The ones who hurt us in the past
let’s forget them fast
with our bodies warm.

These shared moments can be meaningful if you let them,
if you open up.
Though my heart was open, my warmth was fleeting- I can feel it closing up.

The sun is streaming in,
the spell is broken
and I don't think I can do this again.

You can hold my body but not my heart
it’s been way too soon since we tore it apart.
I thought this would be a transient pain
but the truth is that I’m scared I’ll never love again.
