Empty In The Capital by Grace Gillespie published on 2020-04-13T16:25:23Z GRACE GILLESPIE - Empty In The Capital It is what it is Not what it ought to be Not exactly what you wanted Not exactly what you need But I am comfortable with knowing That our consciousness is growing Learning to destroy ourselves And blame it on something else It is what it is Not what it used to be Not the past and not the future Something in-between But I am comfortable with riding On the moving parts of time Like I am comfortable looking At the London skyline But I am not myself today What is it I’m doing? What was it I wanted to say? Yes I am grateful for the day Just restless in the rationale Empty in the Capital It is what we are Not what we choose to be Cannot capture just the essence Cannot pragmatise our presence But we’re comfortable with living While some other eyes are stinging Like we’re comfortable with turning Our faces to the sky But I am not myself today What is it I’m doing? What was it I needed to say? Yes I am grateful for the day Just restless in the rationale Empty in the Capital Ahhh not we are not ourselves today What is it we’re doing? What was it we wanted to say? Are we ungrateful for the day? Just restless in the rationale Empty in the Capital © 2020 Kaleidoscope Comment by Paul Haas Love your voice.

Yeah i really wanted that juxtaposition to be almost confusing. Kind of representing the way we go around half pretending everything is totally fine all the time, but you scratch the surface and it's a whole different story! 2020-07-07T09:49:14Z Comment by Rock Flexible (Official) superb production and vocals! 2020-07-03T22:55:42Z
