lyrics

22 miles of water and a piece of paper is all that separates us.

White cliffs, won’t you take me home?
‘Cause like this my life is stuck in limbo.
The self-righteous incite this unkindness and gas my home.
Their life advice is:
Be careful where you’re born.

I wasn’t born and raised in a war-torn place.
Professor back at home but I left it all.
And you think I wanna steal your job?
But I no how that feels, good God.
Just tryna jump this train before day breaks.

22 miles of water and a piece of paper is all that separates us.

The crisis, the press are leaving in the darkness.
Our voices, are forced to silence.
Despite this, we’ll keep tryna get past it.
God willing, time will tell, we’ll make it out of Hell.

What did I do to deserve my life?
Nothing.
What did you do to deserve your life? Nothing.

All I see, red sea, glisten on the horizon.
Warning: charming gifts to lure you in.

Shudder from the underground.
Spilling out sombre sounds.
Shaking now, inward bound.
Stripped to your instincts.
Get out.
