Get Gravel Heart (and two other songs) for FREE from andymort.com/music
Here's the next song from the forthcoming EP. I made the video when demoing the track in 2015 but it never quite made it out into the world. Came across it again a few weeks ago. Kind of enjoyed it!
Lyrics
the gravel round your heart grew thick.
the message from your TV childhood didn't fit.
a passive model cradle cat
support the truce and pin it to the sky, while I lie under the doormat.
you gave me everything you own
just so that i wont be alone
but all this stuff is weighing me down
i'm shouting but I can't make any sound
the stains upon your fading matt,
the memories are marked like i've been bitterly welcomed back
i don't think i believe myself
a cruel, dark, missionary whip with a bible belt
you gave me everything you own
just so that i wont be alone
but all this stuff is weighing me down
i'm shouting but I can't make any sound
i'm wearing your heart on my sleeve
cos i don't want to see you leave
all of this is taking its toll
my whispering is filling the hole
and i will walk and I will breathe again
the prison walls that tret me like a friend
and i have learnt cos they taught me to see
that the cloud unveils the light above the dream
