First As Tragedy Second As Farce
Prawn Lyrics

I'm aimless amongst connoisseurs.
I don't belong here with these experts, I feel lost and out of my element.

I'm a stranger to these troubles - Why can't I pick you up?
I don't understand the problems we're facing and I wish I could help you but I don't know how.

You're sheer like the cliffs that you jump off from, I watch you closer than a seabird.
You're as brave and daring as the cliffs you leap from, I admire you so much that I watch you constantly, like a bird hovering over the waves.

You picked me up again from the bottom of my bay.
You saved me from my lowest point and brought me back up to the surface.

My sun soaked skin,
I've been out in the sun too long and I'm feeling exposed and vulnerable.

it's a subtle feeling to find yourself in the place we've all been missing.
It's a strange and almost indescribable feeling to be in the place we've been longing for all this time.

I missed you more when we were alone.
I didn't realize how much I needed you until we were finally together again.

I miss the breakers breaking everything I've known.
I miss the chaos and unpredictability of the waves, it's all I've ever known and it's comforting to me.

I missed you more when we were alone.
I felt your absence even more strongly when we were apart.

I miss the breakers breaking the skin right off my bones.
I miss the intensity of the waves, it almost hurts me but it's also exhilarating.

You've held on.
You've stuck with me through all of this, even when I'm not sure I deserve it.

I've been around you've been remiss end your own gains in lieu of this.
I've been taking advantage of your kindness and generosity, I've been selfish and I'm sorry.

You've held on.
You've remained loyal to me despite my flaws and mistakes.

It's in the past I can't remember because it reminds me we're an act -we're a farce.
I don't want to dwell on the past because it reminds me that we're just pretending, we're not really as strong and perfect as we seem.

It's better that we don't.
It's better if we don't talk about the past and just focus on the present and future.

If the God's are fair then I am fucked.
If justice truly exists in the world, then I'm doomed because I haven't been good enough.

I am my father's son
I inherited my flaws and imperfections from my father, and sometimes it feels like I can't escape them.
