On the Up

On the up!

Did you shout? -- thought I heard

Dig the line, reality works

Two hours before, I end my walk

1000 yards -- what for? What for?

On the up -- That intra feeling

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling

Coming down -- In extremis

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

On the up -- That intra feeling

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling

Coming down -- In extremis

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

A jacket full, my secrets inside

Constant sweat, constant lies

Thought I'd call -- you're never there

Spread your line and disappear -- disappear

On the up -- That intra feeling

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling

Coming down -- In extremis

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

On the up -- That intra feeling

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling

Coming down -- In extremis

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

From my side, gaunt and thin

Can't be arsed, constantly said

So in control, why the lies?

Force of habit, rules your life -- rules your life

On the up -- That intra feeling

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling

Coming down -- In extremis

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

On the up -- That intra feeling

Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling

Coming down -- In extremis

Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this
