Perris Lyrics by Finlay Shakespeare

Domestic Economy

2019

I am in the shadow of blood and dust
Can't believe that I made it this far
A family love goes too far
Can't believe, can't believe who they are
I'm bed-bound and chained again
Emaciated and sick again
For all I don't know, my friend
For all I don't know, it's a sin
But I am still awake
I'm sick of this town of blood and dust
It's my own flesh and blood that I can't trust
Do you have a name?
Do you have a number?
It's someone else to blame
Someone else to call another
Is home still miles away?
Is home still miles away?
Siblings and sisters, away
Is home still miles away?
I'm breaking inside again
This life has been unkind, my friend
I haven't seen to light in days
I haven't seen blue lights amazed
But I am on the ground, they say
I'm just another casualty
I'll go and read the book again
I'll go and try and make sense of friends
But I am not alone in here
An unlucky number's all I fear
Can you take it away from this town
The blood and lust that's still around
Can you really call it safe?
-Really call it safe?
Do you really call it safe?
Can I really call it safe?
-Really call it safe?
-Really know my name?
Do I trust my own face?
No, I don't know this place too well
I'm not alone
In this blood and dust alone
In this blood and dust alone
Do I really know its face?
Go and read the shape of it
Do I know this place?
Do I know the shape of things to come?
I am, I am your crown of thorns
We are, we are the crown of thorns
This is, this is the town's adored
This is, this is the town's adored
