lyrics

Still making Skype calls
with the shitty connection
As siblings we are mirroring a mutual exhaustion
We chew through new anxieties
Questions only brothers consider
Gathering thoughts when the picture freezes
Where are we now and what do we matter at all?

With ageing aspirations
An expertise in failure
Familial solidarity lets us soldier on
Cathartic conversations
Allow us to create
A little path within mistakes
Double-jobbing, spinning plates

Still making Skype Calls
still writing plays
still swapping struggles in that bittersweet unfiltered way
Searching for new definition
beyond financial complication
divorce and all its charred remains
trying to find some worth again
 
We speak with mixed up memories
Dilute each other's doubts
Blue sky in the jigsaw we haven't figured out
We give our steadfast guarantees
Precarious and proud
Waiting for the next disaster we haven't figured out.
