Distant Places - Essie Holt, LANKS

Lying in bed when it all went wrong

Something pulling on my clothes

I felt a hunger that restlessness made

But now I know that’s not how humans behave

I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been reckless for days

I lost, I lost, I lost the taste

It’s not, it’s not, not the words we can’t say

It’s the feelings that we can’t face

From our distant places

I can’t say those words right now

All my actions ringing loud

There’s guilt on these blanket but I need you now

The darkness is hiding the fears we found

I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been reckless for days

I lost, I lost, I lost the taste

It’s not, it’s not, not the words we can’t say

It’s the feelings that we can’t

I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been reckless for days

I lost, I lost, I lost the taste

It’s not, it’s not, not the words we can’t say

It’s the feelings

I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been reckless for days

I lost, I lost, I lost the taste

It’s not, it’s not, not the words we can’t say

It’s the feelings that we can’t face

From our distant places

From our distant places

From our distant places
