Forever Waits I

The lioness breathes in and out the same air as me
Streets apart, new cares
At times I wonder where you are
An understatement if ever I knew one but who cares
I plough this furrow alone
Was it ever meant

I Watch My Step
02:29
|

I watch my step
I'm leaving again
Be sure not to leave anything that incriminates
Luckily I see you mostly in sleep
I scan the skyline for any old street that we didn't meet on, speak on, or laugh
I'd like to see anyone keep track of that
This feeling has followed me around since the start
You only live down the road
It's too close
It's too far
I remind myself to stay calm
I watch my step
I'm fucking up again
Make sure that there are no casualties left in the end
Maybe I'll escape it in sleep
After all, that's the only place that we meet
A dichotomy twinned with the fact that I can't keep my mouth shut nor head in tact
This feeling has followed me around since the start
You only live down the road
It's too close
It's too far
These thoughts have followed me around for four years now in March
You only live down the road
It's too close
It's too far
I can't wait for you to leave that part of town
I remind myself to stay calm

Mutual Blues

You said you were a realist
That there's more time behind you than ahead
Now I'm starting to feel it
Another unhappy ending
It's not that I want to be rid of this
I'm perfectly content with what I get from it
But I'm starting to feel it
Another so sudden ending
"You did everything and nothing all at once" she said
But I don't know what that meant
A clash of views and our mutual
You can keep your socks on but I don't want to
Or you can tell me anything that you want
I miss your company but at what cost
I'm not so tired and I'm not so lost
We had our time and we had our shot
I thought that I would be good at this
Another name and number goes to the list
But I'm starting to feel it
A suddenly impending ending
As old friends we used to say "we're good for it!"
Knowing we were hopeless at everything
And I'm starting to feel it
In newly discarded promises
"You did everything and nothing all at once" she said
But I don't know what that meant
(I miss you all the same)
A clash of views and our mutual
You can keep your socks on but I don't want to
(We left it anyway)
Or you can tell me anything that you want
I miss your company but at what cost
(I miss you all the same)
I'm not so tired and I'm not so lost
We had our time and we had our shot

Tomorrow Comes Too Soon
02:45

I should've done more
I should've been confident
I should've told you
I was scared, I was stupid then
You asked me when I was 30
I told you all too soon
I'm waiting for some better behaviour to bloom
It's good now that we're not hurting
There's nothing much left to lose
Do you prefer yesterday to tomorrow too
We couldn't leave each other alone
But you left me here
I'll ask you when you're 25
You'll tell me you've got a while
These days are as unfamiliar as a smile
Can you imagine being 30
There might be little left to lose
Do you prefer yesterday to tomorrow too
I shouldn't have hidden
I should've said what I meant
We talk about the past
And the letters that we sent
You used to fear being alive
You were more open then too
Are you now feeling more loved than bruised
I never longed for the separation
We had far too much to lose
Does your tomorrow come too soon too

Forever Waits II

Love took many turns
Love took many forms
It took from me many times
But it gave much more
Today was always the prize
Tomorrow the promise
That it wouldn't end up like this
And yet it did
The lioness breathes in and out the same air as me
Untoxic and ill-prepared
Untethered but barely there
The skyline took orange, blue and green
It took the weight off of me
However long this takes
Forever waits
Love took funny turns
Love took funny forms
It's taken so much of my time
And it'll take much more
Tomorrow's no longer the promise
Today is just a hope
That we could be tied up and bound with rope
Concrete feet on the river bed is fair
For people so toxic and perfectly paired
Tethered and gasping for air
The skyline gave me weeks, months, years
It takes the weight off of me
However long it takes
Forever waits
The skyline took orange, blue and green
It took the weight off of me
However long this takes
Forever waits

Secondhand Love
01:49

Do you ever grow tired of secondhand love
Two hours in the car was easily above any expectations for timescales with you
I know you tire easy because I do too
Let’s talk about how you found yourself in the middle again
Caught between someone’s lonely nights and just another friend
I’ll put you up for the Summer
If you put up with me
You said this was the most that you’d ever felt loved
Then emotionally outed with a loveless shove
Two people confiding, you may think you can help
But they’re still going home to somebody else
Let’s talk about how you found yourself in the middle again
Caught between someone’s lonely nights and just another friend
I’ll put you up for the Summer
If you put up with me

As well as the asphalt, dirt and memory
There were flashbacks learned that weren't there inherently
If I close my eyes I can just about feel it again
Tumbling to the floor
Luckily my face broke my fall
Bloody, alone, aching, how much more
I'll try to sleep it off staying on my right
My new symmetry in scars
Up all night
Wish me well
Let me rest
I'd have chosen anything in place of this
But writing this at all is irrelevant
How does love become so many things that we can hate
You're everything you weren't before
And worse for it
Luckily my loved ones broke my fall
Tired, alone and aching
Once more I try to sleep it off staying on my right
Stained bedding from the bleeding
Up all night
Luckily my face broke my fall
Bloody, alone, aching, how much more
Wish me well
Let me rest

Wake Me Up In June
03:13
|

|
I'm wasting thoughts and lines on you
Like I always do
Don't make one more move
I don't care if you're miserable
Wake me up in June
You're green and I'm blue
I don't care if it's difficult
Wake me up in June
Do you ever long to wake up to something new
Leave your life behind
Forget it all
Die in the prairial
A burial
It'd be incredible
Do you want it darker than Blackstar
This is your last chance
This is your last dance
Don't make one more move
You don't care if I'm miserable
Sleeping to In Bloom
You're green and I'm blue
I don't care if it's difficult
Wake me up in June
Do you ever long to wake up to someone new
Leave your love behind
Regret it all
Die in the prairial
A burial
It'd be incredible
Do you ever long to wake up to something new
Leave your life behind
Forget it all
Die in the prairial
A burial
It'd be incredible

Moon Blooms

I think in terms of torch songs because I remember how it felt
Days pass, twilight shared it’s moon blooms
I could have nothing left
A hundred days I’ve seen and would see again
A thousand ways I’ve been that I would change
There are people that I’ve lost along the way but that pales when set aside this absence left by you
These days haunt my dreams and my memories
I don’t need pictures on my wall
But I wouldn’t have anything in place of this
Day-to-day malaise and still no call
I was never all that good at apologising
Only ever giving half of the truth
So I don’t know why I’m even trying because little makes sense post-knowing you
A hundred days I’ve seen and would see again
A thousand ways I’ve been that I would change
There are people that I’ve lost along the way but that pales when set aside this absence left by you

Twin Towns

We are twin towns
Barely even bound by pen and ink
We lay in a lie
Feigning a cultered link
I'm deadbeat
You're everything
I'm leaving wanting more
But you'll ignore me until I sleep
Will I be found out
I'm deadbeat
You're everything
I'm waiting, wanting more
But you'll ignore me until I sleep

23 & Green
02:34
|

|
I used to rest in rocking chairs
23 & green
That was me
A state of unrest
Get you to bed
Get us undressed
Pray to everything that no one will make the difficult next move
All of my problems are mine and mine alone
Don’t try to tell me otherwise
I’m fine
A state of unrest
Get you to bed
Get us undressed
Pray to everything that no one will make the difficult next move

Forever waits

supported by 4 fans who also own “Forever Waits LP”
This is almost a "Kid Chameleon" album, because it's a collection of songs created and performed by Liam James Marsh. What makes them fall under the "Tired Eyes" moniker is the fact that Ellie Vincent contributed lyrics to five of the songs. However, her smooth voice isn't present on this album. Like several of Liam James Marsh's newer works, "Reminders" has an enchanting "alternative country" feeling, too.
