Winter Machine Lyrics by Miles Better

The Year That Never Happened

2020

It's heavy like a storm cloud overhead
It's warm now, but it has to be said
Every winter's feeling colder than last
Could pretend to float over the past
Summer's on blast
And the damage ain't obvious as a cast
Mental, drink to healthful plentiful ways
Strange dazed in the longest day of the year
Only time I'm full of cheer, is sincere
Is when the solstice is here
And the bad omens of the globe eroding
And my social and personal capital groaning
Can be capped & left on its lonesome
Off to chase blue skies
With a pocket full of potent nothing
Put an end to discussion
On anything approaching substance
I'm just tryna survive

I'll make what the machine is wanting
I'm eating time
I'll buy what the machine is selling
I'm eating life
Expectancy is seen as messy
That's Eton, right
Aye, write on the edge of a knife

Peddle desolate into the darkness
To seek a wage
Ask your local locksmith about race
Rats pace in the kitchen
We evade superstition
Like new recruits evade fatal missions
In a world that preys on your addictions
Stomps your ambition
Laughs at your afflictions
And then asks you why you're distant
They'll talk a power of your drinking
Never of your drought
You've got no pot to piss in
But you're getting offered snout like
Aye, I'll take it, light it up & inhale it
I'll screw up my, let's face it
This world wisnae built for the sake of it
Gotta take it how it is
And stake your claim to it
I just pray my family & friends are safe in it

‘cause I’ll make what the machine is wanting
I'm eating time
I'll buy what the machine is selling
I'm eating life
Expectancy is seen as messy
That's Eton, right
Aye, write on the edge of a knife

The closer you're standing to the fire
Brighter eyes trained on flames
The truth is not what you desire
When blood runs warm
Through your veins
Crooks will demand a liar
Tell stories glorifying the pain
Of those in the darkness
But our knives are sharpened
And we're dancing for rain

It's about balance?
Do you say that in malice?
I'm convinced that
Life is less of a challenge
The higher up the pedal stool
You're standing
