lyrics

That’s good you made it so big
And that’s not a snarky dig
I’m glad you climbed that dizzy climb
And had such a good time

And yet inside me there’s a dream
What if I could join your team
Well we’re not flame-forged to each other
I can’t treat you like a brother

It’s an awkward complex
But I know my place
And I wouldn’t have it
Any other way
I’ll respect your boundaries
I won’t put up a fight
And if that’s all settled
Good luck with the show tonight

Larion hijinks had me charmed
I’d come quest with you if asked
But I’m a stranger to your life
I can’t steal your limelight

Yes we’ve a couple mutual mates
And we’ve moved in the same space
But that’s a flimsy foundation
For my mad fixation

Maybe it’s just that Will We Are
Conjures lost friends from afar
But they were edgy and mean
You’re like how they should have been

It’s a one way footpath
But I’ll lock the gate
Even if I’m tempted
I won’t take the bait
I’ll stop acting chummy
I won’t be crass or trite
And if that’s agreed on
Good luck with the show tonight

At least I’m not getting hagiographic
With someone else’s baby
Forced to eat chips

At least I’m not writing real person slash fic
A foul commoditisement
Banter into ships

But even if I don’t take it that far
It’s easy to let attachment grip me
Maybe this music will exorcise it
And I won’t she-simp for your streams
Any more

This is not a hurdle
That’s unique to me
Many fail to clear it
Never breaking free
But if I can get past
If I turn out all right
I might tube in and wish you
Good luck with the show tonight

Giant skulls
Giant skulls
Giant skulls in the Euphrates and bladed hunting knives
Giant skulls in the Euphrates and bricks with herbs and chives
Giant skulls in the Euphrates and sacrificial dress
Giant skulls in the Euphrates and monsters in Loch Ness

I’m leaving you behind and ahead
A prayer for the dead
I’m leaving you behind and ahead
A prayer for the dead

Footwerk on the moon
Footwerk on the moon all along

Footwerk on the moon
Footwerk on the moon all along

Footwerk on the moon
Footwerk on the moon all along

Footwerk on the moon
Footwerk on the moon all along

Footwerk on the moon

Footwerk on the moon
