Ironbark - Désolé

i remember the first time you made me play chess
you were dressed in a faded cravat
with your hat tilted just to one side
and you smiled as you knocked each pawn dead
and said
désolé
scraping the rust off my old high-school french
on a bench in the park i'd try to make sense
how a gent from paris came to be here in boring old melbourne
'we all have our ghosts' was the most you would say
waving questions away with a kindly but firm
désolé
désolé, désolé, désolé
then came the virus to lock us inside
and we try not to speak of the people who died
it was natural, they say
to just wither away all alone
all alone, mon ami
all alone, et je suis
désolé
so i'm leaving this pawn at the edge of your grave
in the shade of a headstone which i like to think
is your last little wink, bearing only one word:
désolé
désolé, désolé, désolé

Searching and praying for a better life
The money, yeah, the money is the key
Working and struggling, barely getting by
So tell yourself a lie: I’m free
Capital… x8
Grinding and hustling, make it on the side
The money, it’s the money that you need
Earning, returning, pennies on the dime
Compounding over time from greed to pride
Capital… x8
Time is turning, the years are passing by
The money, it's becoming all you see
Searching and praying for a better life
You’ll find it when you die
Donations in your name
Some legacy to leave
Some reason for it all
Some better way to be…

(Please… Please?)
You got a hold on me, my friend.
Find my feet,
You put me right back on my knees again.
No matter how it starts,
We both know this is how it ends:c
I come to you,
You pull me through,
Before you do,
I know you’ll make me beg you…
Please?
Please…
You make a fist around my heart.
Pull me down -
My desperation is your work of art.
You drive me to the edge
And I know when the pressure starts
That I will bleed
For what I need.
You’ll take the lead,
And I will beg you for it …
Please?
Please…

<verse>
I never could get my words straight
Paving over my thoughts
I never could tell all my flightest fancies
From the voices of gods
And I've tried to hold the future
Always trying to keep control
Never know what I wanted
Enough to let it go
<prechorus>
But you, oh you
Tell me it'll be alright
You, only you
You make it all go quiet, and I
<chorus>
Sigh...
<verse2>
It's like a choir singing
A holy melody
The breath inside my lungs
The song you're pulling out of me
And I never saw it coming
The quiet rumbling from below
Whoever thought I could be good
With "I don't know"
<prechorus>
But you, oh you
You never left my side
And you, only you
You make it all go quiet, and I
<chorus>
Sigh...

Thought I could have it all
Ooh how I wanted it all
Maybe I had it all, I had it all?

take the wind out
breathe in and hold it
open you up and
predict your future
are we through?
and wishing they would just say….
yeah
Is there something
or is it nothing?
holding you and
redact my feelings
keep it tight
when the fuck will they come back and just say….
yeah
Breathe in
it’s an anniversary you don’t celebrate
Hold it
it’s a ghost that comes to haunt you in year number eight
Breathe in
the rising pressure has your measure and you start to fade
Hold it
you ask me if I’m here forever and you hear me say...
yeah

We met up on a whim
But I could see myself with him
If I only knew who I was
Or who I was gonna be
We played a game and we won
We scratched our heads and had some fun
And did it again, just because
We had the time free
Let’s get together sometime soon
Maybe spend the afternoon
Take a quick trip in my car
And get a little bit of sun
How do we identify
Well I don’t really mean to pry
Just wanna know what we are
Or who we’re trying to become
Don’t get me wrong I’ve had a wonderful time
But I can’t help but feel that some thing’s not quite right
Awkward…
You’re becoming quite the man
But I hope you’ll understand
When I say I need to leave
And it’s truly not your fault
You’ve got a lot of time to grow
And I really just don’t know
What’s expected of me
And I don’t know the default
Make no mistake I really care for you a lot
But I can’t pretend to be someone that I’m not
Awkward…
I never went back to the place we met
But I’m forever grateful we’re still friends
Even if we’re
Awkward.

The weight of aging keeps gaining traction
From mortgage loans to the great beyond
I find myself tired no energy for taking action
I need time to recharge before I respond.
I thought you were someone on whom I could rely, but you lied
I thought I had someone special a true ally, I was denied
I think it's time I take some respite and head to the countryside
All alone but that’s okay
Unplug from the endless chattering that won’t subside
Retreat to my

The world in chaos won’t help finding balance
I try to shut it out, but just can’t do it anymore
Focusing on love and hope are unlearned talents
Enough of this never-ending internal tug-of-war
I’ve been planning to disappear and head out west somewhere
A rental cottage in the trees
You could come along and stay with me if you’d care
Can’t you just see our

I thought you were a message from afar
I needed more than another cheap cigar
You were tumblin' from star to star
As I stumbled in to another bar
Looping around a brilliant sun
I thought you were gonna be the one
But you hurt me so bad
I could never trust again
You severely let me down
A dust bunny in our solar system
Oumuamua
Oumuamua
Oumuamua
Ou... Oumuamua
Oumuamua
Oumuamua
Your name... it sounded like a kiss
But your heart is ice you overblown obelisk
You left a trail too small for me to see
You nearly fooled them all
but the biggest fool was me
Oumuamua

Ou... Oumuamua

A list of all the lists we've written that have gone ignored
We wrote down all the places we wanted to see, at home and abroad
A list of all the promises made that I won't get to keep
A record of missed opportunities that I can't complete
Alone
A list of the appointments we didn't want to keep
The revolving doors of doctors trying to keep us on our feet
A list of all the words that people should never have to hear
A catalogue of things I've tried to drink down.
When you're not here I'm
Alone
We don't need to be afraid
We can make it through the day
Because I have found a way
Write a list and plan the fear away
A list of all the lists we've written
and I'm left wondering why
and a single word I never wanted to say to you
goodbye

A million little droplets fall
(From) the windowsill I watch them all
But I'm still stuck inside
Days when Dylan thrives
Distant noises from the kitchen
The smell of baking bread
Did you notice that I'm missing
Lost inside my head
Lost lost lost
Everything I've got to share
Is in a state of disrepair
Upwards from the floor
Is it enough to be ignored
And every day's a struggle
To keep your mouth above the waves
So we'll sing the songs of others
And fall asleep in an embrace
Lost lost lost
Did you notice that I'm missing
Overly relaxed position
Did you notice that I'm
Living in my head
Lost lost lost

Désirée
Only just out of reach
My heart’s desire, please, I beseech
You, look my way,
You are the sun’s soft rays
Warming the beach
On a cloudless day
Take my hand
Don’t pull away
Understand
I’m here to stay
Désirée
Slipping just out of sight
My heart’s on fire, you have ignited
A flame at my core
What I’ve never felt before
Gives me a fright
Of what’s in store
Take my hand
I will be brave
Understand
You are what I crave
Désirée
Take my heart
Broke and betrayed
What's fallen apart
Can still be remade
Take my life
And we can reclaim
Darkest night
With the sound of your name
Désirée

You got me pinned to the wall
Trapped like a rat
By a dark red ball
You got me so dead to rights
Leg before wicket
Plum dead in the light
I was just getting comfortable
Expressing myself
Everything going wonderful
Till second-guessing myself
Dismissed! Dismissed! Dismissed!
You got me hooked on a line
Pulling me out
In the prime of my life
My toe just over the crease
Knocked off the bails
I’m pissed and deceased
You did me dirty like a Romanov
One step early and
The bails are off
Didn’t hear any warning you gave
Mankad smiles
In his grave
I was just getting comfortable
Expressing myself
Everything going wonderful
Till second-guessing myself
Dismissed! Dismissed! Dismissed!
One word and all eyes on the old man’s hand
One shout and I am sent back to the stand
I was just getting comfortable
Expressing myself
Everything going wonderful
Till second-guessing myself
Dismissed! Dismissed! Dismissed!

It's like a cancer homegrown in the soul
A creeping feeling of a lack of self control
Curiously difficult to be rational about
I let it drive too long
And now I'm spinning out

Predestination 3x
<verse...?>
Caught looking on the carousel
The motion blurred my eyes
Flashing lights and ringing bells
Who put me on this ride
They say time is a turning wheel
Point me towards the player's stage
Or shoot me in the heart
We're warmed over cadavers
If someone else picks our part
They say time's a turning wheel
And we're all walking on crushed heels

If time is a turning wheel
Can the turning stop or slow
If time is a turning wheel

Intro:
Silence echoes in the halls
Memories fade like a waterfall
Shadows dance on empty walls
Echoing sounds of distant calls
Verse 1:
I’m trying to hold on on, but I’m losing my grip
I’m trying to stay strong, as I watch myself slip
I’m trying to find a way, a single shred of light
But as I sing this song, I know you’re…
Chorus:
Free, free
Verse 2:
The wind it howls and moans, like my aching soul
A blanket of grey shrouds everything I know
As I slip away
My only saving grace, I hear your…

You, you’re never satisfied
Look at what you’ve got
Sharing’s not your style
You only want the lot
Why accept a slice
When you can have it all
Nothing’s out of reach
It’s all available
You don’t give damn
What any of it costs
There aren’t any lines
That you won’t step across
Its not enough
For you to wipe the floor
You always have to push things
one step more……moar
The limits don’t apply
The rules are there to break
Ignore what’s gone before
The history books are fake
The only law
Is the jungle kind
The biggest will survive
And the rest get left behind
No you don’t mind a fight
Slinging round the mud
Best not to have a heart
When they’re out for your blood
And every time it seems
You’ve nothing left in store
You’re always coming up
With something more…..moar

We'd tend the yard, when I was just a child
Chopped bamboo that grew indignantly from barren city ground
the looper sliced it up but it grew back out like the plague
and the Hague would be full from the crimes we committed against those weeds in this summer's heat
The sun was shining on a deck browning with age
Groaning as steps grew heavier on our ever-stretching days
But it's just grass now
It's not our house, anymore
I still remember the sticky swelling
Of our old front door

Today inside me there's still a light,
but it doesn't shine [near] half as bright, as those days I was small and the world still new, not worse for the wear of it all
Now I hold on tightly, hands clench a desperate fist
upon the last winter candle, shining dim into the mist
of all the Meetings and the Mondays and the other M-named horrors
and I just want to run away out to the shore where
I learned how to swim like the wild, wild ocean waves
I miss those days, footsteps on wet sand
Don't know where they'll land
but the others already long, long gone

Our bottle rocket dreams were sparkling so bright
When we were young and shooting at the moon
Blue collar kids trying to help each other climb
Maybe get a peek inside the secret room

But that was not enough
Didn’t know how much it all was gonna take
Turned out…they were gonna need some blood
Chorus:
Unforgivable…unforgivable…unforgivable

Slogging through the bush like gorillas in the mist
With hearts as tough as leather bandoliers
Will there be anything still left back in the world
To pay us back for giving up these years

And then there’s all the rest
The stuff we’ll never talk about
Turned out…we had a taste for blood

Unforgivable…unforgivable…unforgivable
No taps blown for the ones we never found
No absolution for the damage done

Phlub - Tygart Dam
03:47

Hays Berry lived in Grafton, West Virginia back during the Great Depression
He was out of a job and he was looking for worth, he was strong and skilled and he knew his worth
He was a man of real integrity no question
So he smiled really big when he got himself a gig working for the Army Corps of Engineers
$2.50 an hour, flood control and hydropower and a water reservoir at Tygart Dam
Dam. Dam dam dam dam.
People came from near and far, laying concrete and rebar for this mighty infrastructure operation
To turn a river to a lake; well that just ain't a piece of cake. A brand new dam's a tricky installation
Hays bust his bottom every day, dredging silt and moving clay, roughing up the calluses upon his hands
Smoothing out the new foundation, building water conservation, all of this and more down at the dam
Dam dam dam dam. Dam dam dam dam. Dam. Dam dam dam dam.
Hays woke up in the night, he was a pallid ghostly white, for in his sleep he saw a vision of death.
Told his wife about his vivid dream, how horrifying and extreme, after taking a moment or two to catch his breath
She said Hays honey if you're troubled so, just stay with me and please don't go. I'll make us both some hashbrowns eggs and ham
He turned down her offer for a meal, told himself that dreams weren't real, put on his coat and went back to the dam.
Dam dam dam dam. Dam dam dam dam.
It felt like just just another day, with grueling work and decent pay while the hydroproject neared its grand finale.
The dam was getting close to done, the hardest battle had been won, the mighty river had been tamed in Tygart Valley
Hays was pouring some cement when there was an accident, the poor man was knocked backward by a crane
Pushed him down to the rocks below and for young Hays that was all she wrote. He died falling off the dam
Dam dam dam dam. Dam dam dam dam. Dam. Dam dam dam dam.
They sent a man to tell his wife the news that Hays had lost his life. "He's gone. I'm sorry ma'am".
She hung her head forward as she cried, then she raised her arms and cursed the sky and with everything inside
She said "damn".
Dam. Dam dam dam dam. Dam. Dam dam dam dam.

Selection keeps correcting itself
Picking bottles from the bottomest shelf
Among all the watered down wells
The world around us

You'd think that instinct for preserving ourselves
Would stop us making it hell

You're pulling duty
At the edge of in and out of the field
They said that you would be the sword and the shield
A once beloved face turning heel

therefore,
we’ll add whistles and bells and more

As we dance beneath the moon
Our bodies rearrange

Forever in each others' claws
This love is so deranged

As the seasons march by, we draw close to the fire
Wait for someone to say that it’s time to go home
To be back in your arms if my heartfelt desire
You know my greatest fear is to die here alone
War
War
Now I’m lying awake but I’m so cold and tired
I don’t know why we’re here, I can’t tell who has won
In a conflict that’s frozen with flames climbing higher
Is there time to atone for the things that I’ve done?
War
War
In the depths of despair I discovered the truth
No-one’s coming to save, they can’t it’s too late
All this talk about freedom is just an excuse
Took a look in the mirror, saw eyes filled with hate

Feather! Feather!
She saw me and she said that she thought I seemed older
She hugged me and she said that she thought I looked bolder
She kissed me and she whispered that I'm a real soldier
I told her: I'm better than the rest
Cos there's no feathers in our nest
It's
Bittersweet
And no white feather could ever...
She blamed me but we made up until we got sober
She framed me but after she let me console her
She held me but somehow the whole world it seemed colder
colder than the feathers in the sky
and the men that made them fly
So
Bittersweet
And no white feather could ever be worth the pain
She kissed me and it felt like history
She kissed me and it felt a mystery
She kissed me and it felt like victory
She kissed me and it felt
So
Bittersweet

Indie disco
You looked just like Karen O
Hipster flares
Converse high tops
You saw right through
My shirt from top shop
To seem deep I said
What's the point of living without...
Love love love etc
Pretty sure I was slurring
My words barely making sense
My attempts to be funny
Came off as brash arrogance
Politely
You stepped away
Left me there
Still waiting for...
Love love love etc

Queen of the outcasts at thirteen
Sitting on the school steps in faded jeans
Camel in your fingers, laughing with your friends
Talking about your high school boys in pornographic detail
You said, "Never forget"
We were only kids
You said, "Never forget"
But you probably did
Maria, aaaah
Maria, aaaah
When I got to high school you were not around
Maybe you got pregnant, or you skipped town
I crushed a couple times, but never followed through
I never gave them time, cuz they reminded me of you

Once upon a time
Not so very long ago
We met, although
We’d met before
But that was fleeting
This time we really
Got to know each other
You lit up my heart
Like a long lost brother
With every tick of the clock
I check your face
It shines with
Phosphorescence
Once upon a time
Not so very long ago
I left, although
I’d left before
But that was fleeting
This time I really
Put some space between us
Then you switched off the light
Left life unseen, it seems
On every path that I walk
I watch the time
You fade like
Phosphorescence
Pulled through the undertow
Your siren song calls in the
Ebb and the flow
And I try to avoid it by
Burying my heart below
But you tug at its strings
And I cannot let go in the
Glow of your
Phosphorescence

In an (G) anabolic state
Beyond our (Am) conscious command
But re(F)search is on(C)going
Into the (G) purpose of it (Am) all
Why we (G) need to find oblivion
As the (F) night be(E)gins to (Am) fall
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
(Am) I lie awake most (G) evenings
An in(F)curable insomni(E)ac
(F) Tossing and (C) turning
On my (G) sides and on my (Am) back
I (F) always try to (C) still my mind
In ex(G)tremes even counting (C) sheep
But the (Dm) slightest noise in the night
De(F)prives me (E) of my (Am) sleep
CHORUS (x 2)

Words escape me,
I think maybe
It's hard to try define it
A quiet grace,
A sacred space,
and the feeling that's behind it
Koenig prescribed
words to describe
the feelings webster missed
of halfway-homes
for weathered tomes
and their trademark brand of wist;
Vellichor
There's mystery
that lies between
these pre-owned leather covers
Fantasy
and History
And the poetry of lovers
Excitement yet,
some vague regret
still lives within these pages
And you can feel
something that's real
passed down throughout the ages
Vellichor
*Spoken*
In every town across this land
There lies a crooked street.
Buried at its heart, a store
Where fate and fortune meet.
Wonders await for you inside,
A treasure to be shown.
In a place you’ve never been before,
Yet one you've always known
Vellichor

Vs
What are you thinkin' about
You got a look on your face
Crazy goin' through your mind
Are you feelin' out of place
It's a cryin' shame
We can't bring it together
Lookin' for sunshine
It's always heavy weather
Prognosis (Forecast )
Chorus
Maladjusted

Vs
Somethin's feelin' wrong
It's all out of whack
We should be cruisin' along
But we're way off the track
What's really goin' on?
We're f ussin' at each other
Never on the same page
We're not actin' like brothers
'cause we're
[Ch]
(Breakdown)
Vs
We really need to change
How we only disagree
Whatever happened
To I respect you respect me
Every day's an argument
We're locked in our view
Never ending conflict
Can't figure what to do
We're just

magpies, swoop even in broad daylight
magpies, will forever gift you fright

I don’t play the violin
I’d rather chug a fifth of gin
I don’t play the viola
I’d rather choke on a Ricola
I don’t play the goddamned cello
Aw buddy hell no
I play the double bass

It’s not a cello because you get like a sixth more range on the low end and you get a way more percussive sound in the high register and it always gets in the way when a cello wouldn’t
I had to go car shopping with this damn thing and I had to choose a shitty little Mitsubishi hatchback because of this thing I would've probably bought a ford focus four door but the stupid bass wouldn’t have fit in it
And it’s always getting in my way at home and at gigs but at least the case is large enough that I could sleep in it when I would pull all nighters when I would practice in school.
So repeat after me. It’s not a fucking cello. It’s a mother fucking

Lonely Alexander
A native Salamander
Lived under a rock
In our backyard
Little sis and I
We loved that guy
Searched low and high
To find him a bride
He’d need a partner, we reasoned
To thrive through the seasons
Experience the euphoria
Of life in California
Chorus
California, California
California, California
Verse 2:
Lady May was lonesome too
Sweet ‘n sassy oh so cute
Sis and me could hardly wait
For her to meet her mate
Lady May had nothing to say
When they met that sunny day
Alexander, he was shy
Was that a twinkle in his eye?
Soon the happy couple
Traded in their troubles
For love in the dry sauna
Of summer in California
California, California
California, California
Bridge:
The wedding party baked in the sun
While the two became as one
Bride and groom were radiant
Sis the solemn officiant
Oh California what have you done?
Oh California, California
Oh California what have you done?
Alexander and Lady May
Dried up on their wedding day
My heart holds the pro memoria
Of their end in California
Chorus:
California, California
California, California
