Melonball Lyrics by Jude Joseph

2024

This time'll be fine
We said as we watched the ashes scattering
With optimist minds
And hearts so cynical we stopped listening
By quarter to nine
I'll be braving the peak hour swarms on board
The Glen Waverley line
Just trying to tap into the spark that once saw me through

It's hard to define
The shit that's gone down in my head these past few years
Like swallowing brine
The dread and the fear and the incеssant worrying
The state of our lives
In an instant upеnded indefinitely
I lost all sense of time
Guess the capitalistic conditioning found a way in

And I never thought it'd happen
Never expected to feel so small
I never thought I would let their
Metrics get the best of me
It's just like that sometimes
Gets hard not to feel left behind
To feel short on time

The look in your eyes
Is burning a hole in the left side of my chest
And I can't describe
The feelings that try to escape through the open wound
They swirl and combine
Beneath bloodstained hands as I'm trying to keep them in
I have my pride
In a heartbeat I'll cast it aside if that's what I must do

Staring at pictures of landmarks
Imagine myself in some place like Rome
Away from the day in day out
I could wander around until I felt like coming back home
But ambling through the eastern suburbs
Pokies room pubs seem to seal my fate
To stay firmly in place
Spend my days just counting the steps that I've retraced

Staring at pictures of forests
Trees standing tall, so majestic, so old
In time they'll be felled and uprooted
The land upon which they now stand will be purchased and sold
Suppose no one's safe from the future
We all end up afraid in the cold
With nowhere to call home
I just hope by then we can say that we're not on our own
