lyrics

Leave your mark on the front step
There’s birdsong Bonnie shakes her head and cries
Then Johnson drives you to the airport
There are people you love who you’ve seen for the last time

When it’s dark turn from the gate
In a daze take the last bus to the city
Drift around Eastown like a ghost
All your friends think you’re gone

Fireworks and gunshots down Wealthy Street
Kids smoking on their porch like sailors on a ship

Peer through the windows of your empty house
In your bedroom lives twin image of your ghost
Dancing around the relics of your past
Transitional orange glow

Where does all blood come from?
When did this dark river start?
Well the answer might surprise you
For now we’re dogless at the dog park

In my mind’s eye I can see it now
Last Michigan summer - part of me now
Dive in the Lake at night
Back from New Mexico feeling alright

Distribute possessions
Make arrangements for the final show
And when September finally comes
It will feel like a funeral

When the last note rings there’s thunder outside
Spin your song - if I could see all my friends tonight

Where does all blood come from?
When did this dark river start?
Well the answer might surprise you
For now we’re dogless at the dog park

香港這個充滿悲傷的大都市,有一條隱藏的線,輕輕地聯繫著一個又一個香港人,然後又慢慢鬆開。這條線又在不同移動的點之間穿梭,形成一些新的連結。

線在這個城市裏編織出不同紋理,迅速但卻短暫,從獅子山一直伸延至太平山。

每一瞬間,這個悲傷城市其實也承載著一個快樂城市,只是沒多少人知曉有這快樂城市的存在。

Woke up with no feeling
By midnight they call the law
Can you hear The Ascension
As panic buyers strip the store

Strip mined of affection
Talk like Kowloon snipers all night
I’ve since made course correction
Guilt alone doesn’t make things right

Smoke rises from the harbour
Barricades burn at the college bridge
Police draw blood outside my church
Childhood boundless with new violence
If peace benefits our oppressor
To witness is to forfeit

I left the country just so I could write about it
I couldn’t feel your love so I searched in different places
Echoes of our time wash like waves over everything
Living on reduced hours on this teal promenade

I’m feeling kind of blue boys
Feeling kind of blue
Feeling kind of blue boys
Yeah I’m feeling kind of blue

Catfished by oblivion crossing out discernible futures
Like Josh’s final show at Hidden Agenda
The elevator broke now we’re banished to a secret floor
It’s one you cannot leave but you’ve left before

Feeling kind of blue boys
Feeling kind of blue
Feeling kind of blue boys
Yeah I’m feeling kind of blue

I remember my first Bay of Pigs
This ocean resonates with every event that came before it
We’re jack knifed between two timelines
Virginia Woolf saw bombs in her room where there were none

I keep believing that this must be the crux but it always escalates
My excesses are still excesses
So I headed back to Monk’s House to find answers and draw this thread

If you can make it through 2016 you can make it through most things
If you can make it through 2020 you can definitely make it through this
Each oceanic moment adds up to a life
And this painting only dries if you look away

It all adds up
Even small things add up in time
It all adds up
Too Beautiful to Destroy
