The Freezer’s shutting down
The cold water’s running warm
You say I'll never understand how you feel
Well you’re right
But you’re so wrong
Looking at my future
Through a past I'll never have
How can anyone be sure of themselves
When the sky is turning black
Well I know
That talking to you doesn't work anymore
So I don’t
And the ceiling fan is broken
Could fry an egg on the road
You say I'll never get the thing that I want
Tell me something I don’t know
For even though it’s dire
I’ll do my best to be kind
Why would anybody bе so cruel
Is it really worth your time?
Yеah I know
That talking to you doesn’t work anymore
But if you change your mind
I will be waiting for you to come home
You said you thought you knew me
But now I've gone too far
And the sun you said you were so sure about
Might just be a falling star
The city is in ashes
But I'm still burning bright
Hanging here like a lantern
In case you change your mind
Yeah I know
That talking to you doesn’t work anymore
Yeah I know
That talking to you just don’t work
But if you change your mind
I will be waiting for you to come home

I wrote this around the time of the Australian bushfires in 2019 when it felt like everything precious about this country was being destroyed by climate change.
There were all these talking heads trying to play down how much of a disaster it was, instead focusing on how much they hate...
