Temperance from Deep Blue by Chloe Hope

Like sunlight rising
My head be firing
Questions left right centre
Spiralling
No use in dialling in
No therapist could fix this wiring

Neck deep eyes rolling in
I’m in an abys of bliss
But I’m holding it
Hang me up and let the blood drain down
It’s getting hot and I can’t see an out

Cold bones and dry leaves x3
Their all crunching up
Underneath my feet

My devils telling me
Not to miss this
But the angels are doming
Were grown and we’ve got this
Flying’s sweet
If you can use your wings well
Deep breath, stand strong
Steady foundation

Life still ticks on
Nothing’s changed though
And when in bed
At night alone
I touch my lips and I pray for
One day

Old words old stories x 2
Now why don’t we change these?
Cos they’re fucking up my day-to-day

Right, let’s be explicit
For now imma keep you at a safe hip distance
But you are on my bucket list
And when the time comes ‘round
When it’s safe and sound
Imma reel you in and spin you around

Reel you in and spin you around

The time hasn’t come
Temperance is watching on
Patience and you shall know
But for now take the middle road

Cold bones and dry leaves x3
Their all crunching up
Underneath my feet

Old words old stories x2
Now why don’t we change these?
Cos they’re fucking up my day-to-day

Is it? What is going on?
I’m falling like the floor is gone
I’ll hold you up if you hold me down
I want a way in honey
Not a way out
Keep a place for me
Keep a place for me

Old words old stories
Old words old stories
Now why don’t we change these?
Cos they’re fucking up my day-to-day

One day one day one day
Imma reel you in and spin you around
