This song is the first track on Rookie’s Bustle, and was inspired by the graphic novel of the same name by Remy Boydell. It was written in early sessions for UGLY DEATH NO REDEMPTION ANGEL CURSE I LOVE YOU, Rook’s previous album, in 2020.
Could it end any other way?
The clouds in my head starting to break
Staring at the sky on the morning after
The windows of the last train
The station cold, grey
Now how long has it been?
Can you feel anything?
Now how long as it been?
Can you feel anything at all?
Abandon all hope of a brighter dream
Nobody here knows, nobody believes
It's in the air, it's in the clouds above
And maybe someday we'll make it far away
Inside a dream or another country
Abandon all hope, forget everything
Could it end any other way?
Car crash in an overcast empty town
The clouds in my head starting to break
Bloodshot eyes time is slowing down
Staring at the sky on the morning after
The windows of the last train
The station cold grey
Another morning, another bad dream
Another night out, familiarity
But will we ever become more than this?
And with the lights out i can be someone else
And i can be someone and no one
And everything between us
Another morning, another broken dream
Now how long has it been?
Can you feel anything?
Shut down
How long has it been?
Can you feel anything at all?
Could it end any other way?
Car crash in an overcast empty town
The clouds in my head starting to break
Bloodshot eyes time is slowing down
Staring at the sky on the morning after
Thru the windows of the last train
The evening light fades
And you're still here
