'tried to talk to God but the devil's running the switch board'

lyrics

Trying to cast spells but I’m casting doubt
Tried to chat with myself, but we've been falling out

Ashes in a box on the shelf, I been meaning join up
To the search party in the hunt for myself

Midnight and I’m knock knocking
Quarantined and I’m clock watching
Smoke in the kitchen l’m dot cotton
They be caging the chicken like cock blocking

Said that I chased it when I wasted my goals
Finding a new way and new place to be safe in my soul

I’m lonely drumming on my clipboard
Try to talk to God but the devils running the switchboard

This fable ain't the one I was sold
I try to get a grips but I'm just getting old

Seeing through swollen eyes
My solemn paradise
I only see the night
But I can’t see you

Drunk on poems but I feel sober
Orange juice in a deckchair while I’m watching hell freeze over
I guess it's a sign of the times
I’ve been wrestling new fates with their new blades and a flame in my mind

Playing a rhythm out on ancient stones
These ancient sources
I’m digging down for these these ageing bones

Still dream of shapeless clones
I'm taking notes but they keep changing tones

I’m lonely drumming on my clipboard
Try to talk to God but the devils running the switchboard

This fable ain't the one I was sold
I try to get a grips but I'm just getting old
