This Longitude of Sleep Lyrics

In these eastern parts of a war,
As threats drifting with days
Built up like clouds meant
To shroud all light - But this one here.
But as threats,
They never had much
Of a real thunder to them.
In the parts untouched by the war
The same threats
- Like rafts of birds -
Would swing and buffet
Sideways and through the
Clouds meant to shroud all light
- But this one here.
But as threats, they never had much
Of a real thunder to them.
As fire brigades
Continue to take on
The furnace outside,
We would swing through
And down again
Like those d***ed birds
Through any joys
In this
b***** mess of black
And then back down again.
While you were asleep
I left the house
With a burning ghost on my heels
To chase down the clouds meant
To shroud all light - But this one here.
