Mr Key & Greenwood Sharps - Solstice lyrics

[Verse 1: Mr Key] There wasn't any love at home Summer's tone frozen into winter's bones Dis-attached, dis-connected living in a brick a brack junkyard of family trauma The osmotic ink-stains blackened the aura That's the bad pattern That's your lad trapped on a bandwagon jam-packed with unhappy performers What a performant And nobody clapped for the sad clown The sad sight of silence made me wanna put my hands out Tell him it isn't your fault, kid And listen, this is mid-winter, the solstice, it doesn't get any sh**ter than this Who am I to sell a dream? Tell 'im we could set 'im free Probably best to forget it, leave and let 'im be sh** gets to me The hollow eyes ostracized from the beauty of life as a child The begging need that hides behind even the tiniest smile and fails to be hidden No I never, I didn't do it, what ever it is, and why won't anyone listen That's what he's telling us, screaming and shouting And there's me, thinking my life would be so peaceful without him Shame on me And I ain't gonna p**y-out and blame it on the parents or pretend I'm unaware that he don't need an education He needs tender, loving care Unaware of the path he's taking And when I stare into these stars arrangements That's the thought that crossed my mind The astronaut whose lost inside his claustrophobic loneliness
