This whole past year’s been real weird
Things appeared to shift gear when January premiered
Sincere promises made here with clear beers
I persevered to cheers you on New Years when fear neared
Skip a couple weeks, warm hands, and cold cheeks
Snow falling, you calling me, Mr meant to be
And I pretended like whatever whatever
But it was in the month of may I’d say I’d stay therе forever
Cold frost clears and snow stops falling
Lovе blooming overhauling FaceTime calling
I’m recalling all the love that I was falling in
May turns to June and pretty soon I saw us moving in, within
A little two flat, that sat back on train tracks
A place with just enough space to stay back and relax
Painted dainty towel racks all of your favourite shades of blue
And I saw Atika, Olympia, the pieces of you
Ecstasy, in the truth
Spring turns to summer
Trees discover colour, giving cover like a mother
Work was tougher and uncovered stress that we was under
But grand plans at hand meant I still loved her like no other
2 months all under it, and working back to back
Stacking nothing close to racks, but I was happier with that
I came home alone to you and you was sitting mad pensive
With stick in hand, and strip that had confirmed that we was positive
Oh my lord, but all my worries
Barely in our twenties we was worried we had hurried
Hearing stories of blurry unsturdy, families that carried
And we was loved, and we was warm, and we was safe, and we was happy
Like really happy, like, maybe we might get married like
Imagine this happening, like, way back in January like
Things felt right, I ain’t wait to see it through
And I saw Atika, Olympia, the pieces of you
And that’s the truth
But now autumn starts a-calling
Leaves on trees falling, your feet and knees stalling
These fees all squeeze calling, me please, I’m withdrawing
Unease be installing, And life was never boring
Then one morning you calling me, cause you was getting sicker
Like can’t you get here quicker, and I ain’t mean to bicker
But I figure I could tell her I’d be home in time for dinner
Cause bills was getting bigger, and Mumma ain’t raise a quitter
Mid-Winter, 4am light flicker
Something been feeling wrong, so you called your mums ringer
Grabbed me by the arm, alarm I felt as you began to shiver
Grey quicker you shouting into the mirror like, I’m sicker like
999, all is not fine, I fall in decline, cause now’s not the time
Said thinks will be fine, be here anytime
But they taking long, this feeling wrong, I’m scared of the signs, scream
Emergency, urgency, I need you to converge on me
I need peace as a courtesy, I need harmony urgently
All these hospital porters be rushing straight with they orders, but seeing
Patients before us, I’m screaming please don’t ignore us
And no-ones there to care for us, therefore I’m tryna stand for us
Transported in to some quarters, with Doctors trying to warn us
They said they sorry for all this, but there be no more care for us
I’m crying no you’re wrong for this, but they just closing they borders
Relationships trickle a little
Like icicles it’s simple
Till sides split all the people
That’s civil with you down the middle
So you slip until you, ripple down your wall
Saying fuck all of this year
And this year said fuck you all
And if there’s really peace for me
Well maybe that’s the ODYSSEY
And If I really need to leave
Well maybe that’s the ODYSSEY
But I’ll be back around you’ll see
Well maybe that’s the ODYSSEY
Wish I could call it prophecy
