Brighton Lyrics by William Ryan Key

Everything Except Desire

2022

Where you stay out on the channel sea
Whitewash skies are gonna set you free
Shadows blue above a black outline
Tell some truth beyond the words you find
Did you ever have a real reflection
In the water underneath this bridge
Used to think you had a fair complexion
Couldn’t hurt too big
Everything is heaving up these lessons
I never learned before
What a wonder when you find your next one
Maybe more is more

I don’t mind
We were almost there
That first time
When you almost cared
Weak within
I was calling home
Telling them
You are all I know

Long lost days, a rainy winter gone
I can’t say I’m ever right or wrong
Who’s that there, another hidden face
I still care, why do I work this way
I will elevate the uninvited
So that I can feel a goddamn thing
Trouble is there is a broken person
You couldn’t fix in me
So I never need to measure this up
To anyone I find
We were just another empty vessel
In the black of night

I don’t mind
We were almost there
That first time
When you almost cared
Weak within
I was calling home
Telling them
You are all I know

I don’t mind
We were almost there
That first time
When you almost cared
Weak within
I was calling home
Telling them
You are all I know

Weak within
I was calling home
Telling them
You are all I know
