Petrichor

Don't believe me when I say I'm sorry

I don't mean anything I say

A faithless face amongst faceless faces

A bad decision made in good faith

I'm cold to all illustrious distractions

Lost to love, work and play

Stuck in my own world of pallid abstractions

Forcing out these things to say

'Cause I was lost when I called you mother

I didn't realise you felt the same

And I was drunk when I called you father

But no, you're not to blame

[Chorus]

'Cause I did this to myself

No I can't blame anybody else

And when the photographs that line your shelves

Belong to somebody else

You know it's time for change

So please forgive me for my boring stories

I've never felt that much at all

Just floated through life chasing money

A sack full of meat and bone

And with every start all I see is the finishing line

Every new beginning I just see the end

And I'll bite the loving hand that's fed me

Time and time again

[Chorus]

Because I did this to myself

No I can't blame anybody else

The photographs that line my shelves

Belong to somebody else

And in this ongoing war

My favourite smell is petrichor

The scent straight after rain

An illusion of beginning again
