The Acorn Blankets! - EP Lyrics
1.Plates & Saucers

Let me make you an offer
Take the glass from this plate and saucer
Hold it up to your mouth
Though you haven't been a bother
At all

And I'll come to you
If to tell you
Tell you how that you
You're on my mind
Most the time
When my plans have fallen through

I'd love to rest
And keep things under the table
Pass the days evading whispers and labels

You're surely not the only treasure
On a map too large to measure
Take your pick on the exit
Set sail and cut the tether


2.Sent (Awake The Kraken)

You cannot help but fear it
Argue it and appeal it
I know your heart's seen better days

With no pressing things to do
Wounded hearts to rescue
You've forgotten how to do
With the opportunities
Stab you, stab you in the back

Bite your tongue to answer
Spread your fears and cancers
Piss on all you think is yours

Mark your territories
Cover it and stories
How their hearts keep breaking down

All the things you said to me I've piled in tongues and trees
Bristle with your confidence and hold it down with all my
strength
Never thought these promises will make it so hard to breathe
Everything I've promised you I've set the space to suffocate

With no pressing things to do
Wounded hearts to rescue
You've forgotten how to do
With the opportunities
Stab you, stab you in the back


3.Blankets

Oh, the life you lead
Leads you to distraction
Confusing your desires
With voluntary actions
And a hundred thousand destinations
The plans that you've forgotten
And the fruits of all your labor
Are slowly going rotten

And the blanket of the city
Will never keep you warm
And the pages of our history
Are free and truly worn

Oh, the time we need
Is passing every day
You can't blame it on
The words we never say

Oh, the world is love
Strings and chain reactions
Never-ending fires
Heartache and attractions

And the blanket of the city
Will never keep you warm
And the pages of our history
Are free and truly worn

Oh, the time we need
Is passing every day
You can't blame it on the
Words we never say


4.Books

So they say only good wine leaves a stain
On the shirts put aside for memorable days
And your father never warned you about my habits
Like my penchant for bad magazines and video games
They're the easiest problems to recognise

I'm the books you're tired of reading; stories all the same
And the mess between the covers never change

All these moments caught in paragraphs and frames
Fade like perfumed lovers' clothes left out in the rain
All the change that's been collecting in my pockets
Spent on gumballs, fake tattoos and gold plastic lockets
They're the everyday treasures you demonise

I'm the books you're tired of reading, stories all the same
And the mess between the covers never change
And the lights you don't want to turn off burn out all the same
And you'll stumble into the same walls, again and again
