lyrics

Although you say you see me, I'm not standing there
And though you think you've read me, my words disappear
And my hand's an empty glove,
But I fill up at your touch

So now you call, but I am yet to be around
And even though I'm wide awake, my brain is out of bounds
And we'll run when we get younger,
Until then, I guess it's over

'Cause now you've seen, I can be mean and angry,
But I swear that's not my heart,
Begun to rot
I'm nearly up
All torn apart
Living in Tomorrow Land

Although you see me standing in the glory sheets, I'm lost
This children's toy has turned into a china doll
When I'm living make-believes you see me,
Though I'm not the way I used to be

And when you're calling from the other end, you know I'm gone
You satisfied a dying mind, your oldest friend forgot
And when we were children, you swam to me
You were by my side for eternity

I swear I saw you in the side-lines, calling out my name and holding signs
That I don't recognise
Or mean to leave behind
Oh, I'm forgetting twice
And three times over I'm
Living in Tomorrow Land

Well, when she said your Daddy's dead, the pillow slightly tightened,
Around your head, and you'll forget and start to feel frightened
When your love greets the white doors,
'Cause their gates of blood were finally closed,
You're caught between the shrinking walls,
And you know, you've never felt like this before...

It belongs to Tomorrow Land

I'm scared of Tomorrow Land

I don't know about Tomorrow Land

But I know, I can't go back

about

The Room Upstairs London, UK

Since forming in 2014, The Room Upstairs have become album-era hanger-on-ers, decorating themselves in retro-tinged melodies and folk-rock lyricisms. They muse on mortality, nostalgia, the passage of time, and emotional life crises (quarter, mid, or just normal "ran-out-of-milk" stuff). That said, they also wrote this biography, so maybe listen and debate the bias.
