Everybody's Talking to Themselves

about

Track 9 of Black Sky Thinking

lyrics

There’s a black hole in the centre of the room, there’s nothing can escape from his overbearing emptiness
If you’re squeamish now’s the time to look away, cos his life is just a car crash, open wounds and complications
Loneliness can look seductive from a distance; melancholy songs can crush your heart before you notice
Everybody’s talking but nobody’s listening to you. Everybody’s talking to themselves

So much for standing in the corner oozing cool, like some unexploded bombshell, frowning at the drunken punters
She fakes oblivion to all the hungry stares from the losers and the geeks and the other never had a chancers
Loneliness is found in unexpected places; melancholy songs will crush your heart before you notice
Everybody’s talking but nobody’s listening to you. Everybody’s talking to themselves

We hang our lives out on the line, for everyone to see. We put it there for everybody else, but it’s just screaming look at me, look at me, look at me!

Drown me in your conversation let us all know just how much you care...
