Lines
Tom Milsom Lyrics

Did a line off your chest and it made me feel better
I used you as a source of comfort when we were becoming emotionally distant and disconnected.

When we were losing physicality and untethering ourselves
We were disconnecting from each other and losing the physical and emotional connection we used to have.

The fragile alpine freshness after sickness beckons
There's an opportunity for renewal and freshness after sickness or a difficult time.

Where a song can naturally unfurl
In that renewed space, creativity and art can flourish.

Without the pain of hitting the shelves
Creation becomes more pure when it's not confined to the pressures of commercial success.

Leave a dusty trace of everything you do in your wake
Everything we do - good or bad - leaves a mark and shapes our legacy.

A greying map of your activities and all of your mistakes
Our actions form a roadmap of our life, including mistakes we've made along the way.

Don’t leave your troubled friend behind
We should support our friends in their times of need.

I’ll know what to do when I’ve learned all my lines
I'll be equipped to handle anything once I've gained wisdom and experience from my life lessons.

There’s a lion in your chest and it makes you feel better
You find comfort and power in taking control of your healing process.

Like you’re regaining your virginity by commanding me to heal
In a way, by taking control of your healing process, you're taking back your sense of purity and self-ownership.

Tell me I’m wrong again, tell me it’s wrong to skirt around reality,
Challenge me to face reality head-on, even if it's uncomfortable or painful to do so.

I’ll never learn unless it’s more uncomfortable for me not to feel
Sometimes, we have to face discomfort or difficulty in order to learn and grow as a person.

Now I’m lying on your chest and it makes me feel better
We both find solace in being close to each other.

Now I’ve lost all my integrity these problems right themselves
By coming together and supporting each other, our problems are resolving themselves without me losing my sense of self.

And if a frenzy kicks about amidst the susurrus
If chaos erupts in the midst of all the quiet murmurs and whispers of life,

A lonely editorial can never hurt and only time will tell
It's ok to express your thoughts and opinions, even if you feel alone in doing so - time will tell if you were right or not.
