Stasis outside Bakeries

from The Big C EP by Animal Byproducts

lyrics

TL;DR - Our home towns are upset that we left them, but they understand.

I can show that you were happy here.

When your Gran counted silvers for ice cream
and the garage door invited an attack.
When it seemed like every one of your conversations
started with the salutation:

'Hey man, can I have some on that?'

But happiness is just a state of play
so you left in that now familiar way

My bandaged bridge was torn down
your glass house was shattered by my kicks and stones
And stasis outside bakeries
meant you could never quite make peace with
the person you felt you'd become.

And the men that you'd call toxic
build bricks within their boxes
and face the future 'progress' plucked away.
And the women talk of the weather
whilst pulling people together
to inch towards the time to have their say.

And on the day you left to look for truth in stories sold
I'll swear I saw a sycamore swiftly shed its swirling load
In truth, it's all enigma, but if any can be found,
you've got to lay down your roots,
and tap it deep from your own ground.
