Patterson’s Curse

Sitting silent in the back seat
Conversation’s lulled
I've started drifting
Into a half sleep
Thinking about you
How you fell out of time
And I fell out of tune
And our words lost their meaning
But through the dissonance,
You will always come back, to me
I live with disconnection
Waiting and reflecting
On this rear-view romance
I’m always looking back to
The sky is all pink and bruised
The tree’s are sticky
with sunset treacle
golden and glowing
There’s no way of knowing,
Why I always come back, to you
Waiting for your count in,
Electricity, and melody

(Spoken word bit):
I watch this purple landscape blur
We’re Flying at 160 k’s
Patterson's Curse gone crazy,
Through the fields& against the bruising sky
& It looks so striking as the sun is sinking
But it grows over everything
It’s like a curse, cause it looks so pretty
but if the animals eat it, it makes them sickly
It’s also been called ‘Salvation Jane’
When there’s been no rain
There’s no feed for the cattle
It’s the only weed that survives
It’s the only feed to keep them alive
It’s a curse but it’s also salvation
Your a curse but your also salvation
*When I’m static, your frequency
Could always tune, into me.
*There’s only evening
You will always be, leaving
*There’s no learning
It’ll always hurt in the morning
