about

The game's over, it's last orders at the bar. You don't need to go home but you can't stay here.

lyrics

AJAR

Shouldering ajar
Go get it
Waste it
Empty out the bar most every day
Burning in your mouth so you can't taste it away

And it's late and we got nothing good to say
Except we want another one
And stay forever
A life together

No shame in your excess, I will praise it
Wear the badge of honour to the game
And when the score is level you will blame it
You say you are proud that we are clouded in our brains
We never get outside
We wish it rained forever
Ties to sever

And if I could swim I'd be at sea
A lazy metaphor I think I've been all i could be
Just someone
Writhing in the reins
No race won
Salt water doused the flames
Wet wipe a dusty frame.
