lyrics

In my mind I hold
A memory
Of a time when I
Wanted for nothing
I like to go there
When I'm weary
Weary
Early summer
The sun is here
But I am caged
And I'm a slave
To all my fears
They've left me half here
I'm only half here
Like an empty stage
Above a sea of rage
I can't contain
And I'm ashamed
Always somewhere else
A promise on a shelf
I'm reaching for
And feeling torn
Squandered moments
I'm never whole
I can't engage
Or hold this pace
Hardly here
My constant fear
I'm only half here
Like an empty stage
Above a sea of rage
I can't contain
And I'm ashamed
Always somewhere else
A promise on a shelf
I'm reaching for
And feeling torn
Half coming
Half going
Half straying
And half knowing
Half seeing
Half being
Half living
And half leaving
Half fighting
Half dying
Half inviting
And half denying
Half grieving
Half dreaming
Half deceiving
And half believing

about

The Insatiables Perth, Australia

Impatient Creatures treads the alternative path, not shy of a trumpet melody or a cinematicsub effect, the landscape of this EP is expansive. The moodier tracks could sit on a shelf with Lana Del Ray and London Grammar, cyclical guitar riffs and piano riffs swirling around a commanding voice. ... more
