The Skerry Hill: Clouds Keep Us Warmer

At some point in either 2016 or 2017 I decided to release all my new music under one name. I the decided to re-release some previous music under the same name. These songs were originally on an album called Clouds Keep Us Warm (which can be found here: https://lukechant.bandcamp.com )

It's now a mini album called Clouds Keep Us Warmer, which can be found just about everywhere where music is sold or streamed e.g. https://open.spotify.com/album/5j3wtipMRu7IEbzqyI30ew

1. One Time

This could take you by surprise 
So scrape the smoke out from your eyes 
See the truth s clear as day 
Before it all gets blown away 

One time 
You could be everything 

Now I'll take you by the hand 
And show you all my stupid plans 
You could laugh or run away 
No one's forcing you to stay 
But I'd rather you stay 

One time 
You could be everything 

Maybe I should stop it all 
Or maybe it's true 
May this is stupid 
Or deeper than you 
But one thing that's certain 
Is it's happening 

One time 
You could be everything to me

2. Desu

It seems that you've got confused, this is 
Piccadilly station not Harajuku 
She's drawing sad animals for me to hug 
Guess that's what it takes 
But I won't tell anyone 

She's never been to a music festival 
She files her books in Dewey decimal 
Her hair is impossibly angular 
Works in retail as a customer wrangler 

And I guess that's ok 
I'd rather see some 
yellow red and purple 
than another 50 shades of grey 
Which she won't read until it comes out in Manga form 
And If comes to a choice 
Between Japanese 
and JD Sports 
Then shove me on a plane to Tokyo

3. Rain Flavoured

Instrumental

4. Low Fidelity

it starts with a motion 
keeping in time 
a little emotion 
and i'll soon be fine 
a girl with potential 
to be in my life 
a girl with potential 
to be someone's wife 

slow down 
slow down 
i will soon be here so won't you 
look into my eyes and tell me 
that i might take his place inside you 
but i can't take that place inside your heart 

so how are you doing? 
at last were alone 
you turn the light out 
i'll turn off my phone 
i'm happy to play this game 
in your careful web of lies 
there's a pain inside you 
you try so hard to disguise 

so slow down 
slow down 
now that i am here why don't you 
look into my eyes and tell me 
that i can take his place inside you 
but i can't take that place inside your heart 

so slow down 
slow down 
before i try to leave why don't you 
look into my eyes and tell me 
that i might take that place inside you 
but i can't take that place inside.. 

now slow down 
slow down 
before i try to leave why don't you 
look into my eyes and tell me 
that i might take that place inside you 
now that i took his place inside your heart

5. Serration

V1: 
Never met you 
So I can't miss you 
Never knew you 
But feel the pain you caused 

Your selfish actions 
Sent out shockwaves 
Your influence 
More important than you thought 

Chorus: 
Why'd you have to leave? 
Took her heart away 
Left with emptiness 
She just takes the blame 

Why'd you have to leave? 
Took her heart away 
Left with emptiness 
She just takes the blame 

V2: 
Never met you 
So I can't miss you 
But I know her 
And I feel the pain you caused 

You have my sympathy 
She has my empathy 
This changes everything 
But nothing's truly lost

6. Breaker

Instrumental

7. Bricks

Dust will 
Wash away 
Bricks are 
Here to stay 
Scrape away the mortar 
As you build this wall 
To Keep you safe from harm 
And no one can break in 

Close your 
Self off 
From the 
Waking world 
Block out all thew sunlight 
Burns your eyes 
Build it up so high 
You can't come down 

Smash it 
Break it 
Tear it down 
Rend it 
Tear it 
It's all over now

8. This Is Not A Temporary Situation

i thought i had it all 
but how was i to know 
hindsight makes it obvious 
but how was i to know 
at first all i could do was hate 
but now i realise 
you had to choose a path to take 
and it was never going to be mine 

i need to have control 
or else i'll fall apart 
decide to let you know 
the pieces of my heart 
the only thing that helps 
is making myself numb 
can't seem to let you go 
i can't avoid it 

wish that you could feel 
what burns inside of me 
maybe we'll never find 
what we really want to say 
our emotions locked inside 
here's the key but who will drive 
how could you ever understand 
you're still hiding from yourself 

this is not a temporary situation 
i really thought i'd done it this time 
but if i made plans i'd be using an obvious cliche 
and that really wouldn't do you justice 

i can't tell you what i need anymore 
nothing i can do will make you change 
i can't stand in the way of what you have to be 
all i want is just a moment with you
