Quokka - Summerland Lyrics

I'm not the man I hoped I be
He never had a chance
I'm counting shadows on the wall
Sitting on a chair of my hands
Scraping down on bloody knees
Waiting for uncertainty
Till the lights go out
Till the embers sprout
Terraform my confidence
Pull the strings and make me dance
Through the twisted clouds
Oh I'm finding out

I'm forever trapped in Summerland
Waiting for the winds to blow again
Bring me back the taste of bitter sand
I once knew
I'm a man a man uncertain of
All my plans that stand undone
Come and save me from this sycophant
I've become

Measured out lifetimes in coffee spoons
Aluminum heart in a blood red moon
When the Feeling stops
Creeping in
Fading to black
Now I'm Cutting my tongue just to get a taste back

It won't be long
Falling asleep to the same three songs

Cause I find
It gets better all the time
But I lied
I'm queasy
I've got going through the motions sickness
I need to step outside

I'm forever trapped in Summerland
Waiting for the winds to blow again
Bring me back the taste of bitter sand
I once knew
I'm a man a man uncertain of
All my plans that stand undone
Come and save me from this sycophant
I've become
