lyrics

Baby, I'm not sentimental
Growing old but feeling young, stained my bed
Now I must lie in it without you.
But the stain bears fruit and bruises it too.

Lying here among my nightmares
Some of them are warm but that's small comfort
While I cradle the hurt that's gone stale.
And a warm body is still all I crave.

Sleep as if nothing's changed
Sleep is your last escape.
Sleep though your dreams are sad
Sleep and hope this won't last.

Baby, I welcome suggestions
What do you think I should do? Count to ten
Practice biting down then just bear through?
But a grin betrays a heart-broken fool.

Only the restless can stand it
One by one dozen per lover's enough
Avoid blossoming love and move on.
But they notice when everyone's gone.

What is it that you want me to say? I was wrong?
Well, I gave you the last of my shame, girl,
And now it's gone.

Baby, I know where to find you
In all the malice we cannot forget
Life was ruined and yet, you moved on.
But I feel more lost now that you're gone.

about

GRIM17 Derry, UK

I’m GRIM17, like my sixteen forefathers before me. I thought I was hot shit a while back, with written accolades and TV/radio appearances. Those very early stages of a "career" seemed like a great time to take a half decade break.
I say "break"; it was mostly depression and substance abuse.
I'm back with LOADS of music over the last few years now, though! ... more
