An Introduction to the Album Lyrics by The Hotelier

Home, Like NoPlace Is There

2014

[Verse 1]
Open the curtains, singing birds
Tell me, "Tear the buildings down"
You felt blessed to receive their pleasant
Sound of things that break
Make you cringe inside yourself
There's a child counting stars in their time
Out of their day
In the corners of their frame
They're encased in the losing of
A grain of themselves
Pushed against the ebb and flow
Wave goodbye and watch it go
[Verse 2]
Well, show me the honest, proper way
Disarm predatory gaze
Sucking dry, never satiated
You've been misused
Been rewired, you're short-circuiting now
Just remember when
You'd call me to come
Take a deep breath and then jump
(Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa)
So fragile are bodies, so concave
Work in self-destructive ways
(Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
You shot from the hip and missed
Detaching from all of this
In physical pictures, you remain
Spiral 'round yourself in figure-eight
I recoil at every new beginning
[Verse 3]
I searched for a way out, don't we all?
Existentialist recall
Turn in all, all dichotomies and
Truths that I gave
I felt wrong in many ways
Didn't heal, just got harder everyday
And to be still, to be passing through the throes
In a daze, feeling heavy
Feeling cold in my skin
In my hand-me-downs
Wearing everything thin
And the pills that you gave didn't do anything
I just slept for years on end
Fuck!
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Well, so, if I call, should I beg?
'Cause I'm desperate here
Couple steps from the edge
I can't seem to burn bright enough
I'm cold and I'm left alone
We're all alone, grab a hold
Know I said to not; what the fuck do I know?
I had a chance to construct something beautiful
(Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa)
And I choked, I choked
I choked, I choked
