Samfire - To Those Who Wait
"So Look ahead" that's what they'd say
Growing up's about the chase
Wait your turn, then play for change
But tunnel vision and beady eyes
Blinded me from what passed by
I had dimmed out either side
Keeping just the end in sight
I was
Muddled in mistakes
For God's sake
A million retakes
Why couldn't I just catch a break?
Why was I living for a future
And not today?
Hoping that with age all these questions would be explained
They say
"Good things come to those who wait"
The little joys
Their sweet taste
Will come your way
Livе for that day
Seize the futurе, work today
Look ahead that's what they'd say
Life is just about the chase
Make your move, play for change
But the wait did not gratify
The delay could not satisfy
So I pained with the end in sight
And prayed that age would make it fine
I'd flick on the TV
A vicarious life please
Dreaming of ideals
Deflecting what I'd feel
Played with patience
And feigned ease
Praying that with age It would all make sense, please
They say
"Good things come to those who wait"
The little joys
Their sweet taste
Will come your way
Live for that day
Patience was my virtue
But boredom it's mate
Watching the clock tick slowly's a soulless kind of game
Moving through the motions
Playing it safe
Hoping good things would come to those who wait
They say
"Good things come to those who wait"
The little joys
Their sweet taste
Will come your way
Live for that day
They say
"Good things come to those who wait"
The little joys
Their sweet taste
Will come your way
Live for that day

Samfire - This Time
We did all that we could do But we failed the last review A virus spreads to me from you Sickening me too My green light, peters out, out of view Shadowed, in the dusky
Samfire - My Potential
I believe in my potential But not in where I am An exhausting combination Focused on what I can do and be In an undetermined future Not as crystal as you'd think
Samfire - Possible Stranger
I've got a printed smile Walking through dead spaces And soulless rooms Cos I have misty eyes Lost on the picture of Where I’m going to Possible
Samfire - Tarot
Ask me a simple question That’s all that I require To break the lock into you soul And ransom your desire Born in Downtown tower land Disaster’s in your past
Samfire - Temper
He said I smiled too much Couldn’t take me serious Bet I flew there with a trust fund Not like I’d done the work I’d done Thought I was going to Coachella Like he knew
Samfire - Hallucinating Hollywood
I swear I’m the only one who walks Who’d rather sing instead of talking And when it’s this hot things get hazy Floating round these wide streets like I’m Hallucinating
Samfire - Mr X
I’m an actor and musician Mmmn I’m an artist with ambition Mmmn Talk myself up to disguise that I am dead behind my eyes It’s with me culture dies I’ve an ego
Samfire - Don't Call Me Baby
Black coffee to counter The headache of running late Cancelled train Breathe in The body pain You can pick a fight with a high vis But I'll let it slide
