lyrics

All these stories start the same,
a council estate boy with boredom on the brain.
Bad choice, bad choice, left a wreck,
with bad habits, rent and debt.
I made the same mistakes my mates were making,
took some stuff not meant for taking,
faked being happy for a while.
Glued on a smile.
I was the master of the frown.
All I'm saying is when I met you, I was down.

The voices in my head,
don't talk to me no more,
and the monsters under my bed walked out the door.
The nightmares when I sleep,
don't wake me any more.
And the monsters under my bed have walked out the door.

All these stories start the same.
A council estate boy who lived up to the cliche.
Week in, week out, I confess;
a stranger to my family, head and clothes a mess.
My day began at night,
I was in at the deep end, drowning, gasping for air.
Good timing.
I am the cloud you are the silver lining.

The voices in my head,
don't talk to me no more,
and the monsters under my bed walked out the door.
The nightmares when I sleep,
don't wake me any more.
And the monsters under my bed have walked out the door.

It took a bird to turn it round.
Picked up all the pieces of a life turned upside down.
All the hopeless thoughts, delete them.
All the demons, helped me beat them.
One soul can flip it round.
Fix fractured parts of knackered hearts.
Make each day seem ok.
Chase the monsters away.

The voices in my head,
don't talk to me no more,
and the monsters under my bed walked out the door.
The nightmares when I sleep,
don't wake me any more.
And the monsters under my bed have walked out the door.

about

Skellums Wales, UK

Skellums was formed because there was nothing else left to do.

Underneath all the dirty guitars and drums, there lives a pop song. Skellums believe, that as long as you have a melody, you can get away with all sorts.
