Brighton Pier

from The Omega Point EP by Pagan Wanderer Lu

lyrics

I came home late, wet from the sea
I thought that you would be waiting up for me
I'd left my phone, left it behind
So you couldn't call me, but you hadn't tried
There was no more catharsis
punching the walls of our flat
So I went for a walk
I thought I might get stabbed
I sat on a bench for an hour on my own
But all the potential muggers just said
"Hello, you alright mate?"

And the lights on Brighton Pier go out
At the flick of a switch
And I wondered if my own lights would
Go out that quick
And the afterglows, the lights' echoes
Left a ghost-pier in my eyes
And in the end I couldn't do it
So I did go home that night
And to this day I've really no idea why

Under the stone-tree on the Old Steine
I found a hidden piece of art
And therefore heart in that city
Amongst her colours
With which she tempted me there to make my name
How I love her, like a moth loves a flame

And the lights on Brighton Pier go out
At the flick of a switch
And I wondered if my own lights would
Go out that quick
And the afterglows, the lights' echoes
Left a ghost-pier in my eyes
And I still don't know how I got home that night

But the sadness that I felt was almost beautiful
As if the night itself had planned it out for me
And I must've been walked home by the ghost of brighton pier
and that's the only reason I'm still here
