VERSE 1
Dm
Pack up our life its time to go
Gm
Leave behind all I know
Dm
Neighbourhood has turned to dust
Gm
Neighbours resolve withered like rust
Dm
A little boat across the sea
Gm
What baggage i can take with me
Dm
Will i see welcome open arms
Gm
Or xenophobic grave bodily harm
Dm. Gm
Now my love for a home
Dm Gm
Has turned to stone
CHORUS
F Bb C C
I didn’t mean to leave you behind
Always want you by my side
Won’t you come share this ride
I didn’t mean to leave you behind
VERSE 2
Sister sister i can’t explain
It’s a choice i had to choose
Checking my life against their pain
Choking my spirit like a noose
I take you with me where i go
You’re in my heart and in my soul
life path may diverge
Our blood will always emerge, Oh
Don’t let love for our home
turn to stone

I can't underwrite my love for you
No guarantee of care

G#
dreams Uve been chasing in
F#

VERSE 2
Everyone’s got their indulgence
Everyone’s got their scene
Bet your lowest
Common dollar
Somebody hid something obscene
Every effort made to hide
Every sign of malcontent
I smile i sigh
Avert my eyes
No-one knows
which rules were bent
VERSE 3
I cave to my theory
An internal test
Experience
experiments
Results fabricate evidence
Grab at a sins honesty
This is my last grasp
No joke I dive
a hole to climb
I'm breathing my last gasp
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
C#m
chatting up the fruit
G#
connoisseur.
C#m

Verse 2
no more laughs around the table
ghostly silence
leave me feeble
no more hugs at the driveway
that last goodbye
left me high and dry
no more you by my side
i carry on this journey
tank half empty
tank half empty filled with …
Chorus
Cm - Gm - Gm - Dm

Verse 3
all i got left in the void
is the echo
of your voice
all I got left are pictures

all i got left is regret
words untended
in my garden
in my garden

VERSE 1
Em
last pack of ramen eaten raw
C
no power to turn stove on
Em C
every last drop is gone
Dm C F G
hope to lay down and get some peace
Em
suddenly knock on the door
C
rent cheque bounced back
Em C
landlord is having a heart attack
Dm F Am G
no sleep while im hugging my knees
CHORUS x2:
Bb
feelings of dread
it hurts my head
F
felt
better off dead
Bb
here I am singing
about
F (Am on last run)
it instead
VERSE 2:
monthly payments made to the bank
said my prayers, universe i thank
future’s bright canvas is blank
horizon filled with big blue sky
suddenly over my shoulder
surveillance new world order
robot dogs are next gen soldiers
how to escape this AI gone awry
CHORUS x2
BRIDGE (ride the Em):
(Rhymes by ProfSE)
It's like
everytime i turn around,
somethings tryna bring me down
it’s enough to tempt me to be resting 6 ft underground
but i keep holding out
no i won’t take the quick way out
no doubt Lady Luck gives a fuck about me
some kind of tough love test
without me
knowing it
with nothing to show for the moment
so i take my head and i hold it
with both hands
here’s hoping all these dreadful thoughts
i focus with
give me the strength to go and cope with it
otherwise it’s hopeless
VERSE 3:
nature calls at all the wrong time
walk in a park when it rumbles below
hurry to find a public throne
some place to get some relief
suddenly a desperate grasp
frantically reaching underneath
feeling stuck on this seat
cant find a single square sheet
CHORUS
