We Die Kae Tempest

[Intro]
Across the street
Above the green, in the flat with the colourful curtains
Alisha's wrapped in her blankets
Head lent back on the wall
She's gripping her knees
Looking for purpose, shaking and nervous
She keeps her brave face on all day long
But now, the brave face is gone
Something in the changing seasons prickles in her skin all day
Sucked her back through time and left her feeling far away
He was in her dream
She hasn't dreamt of him for months
She's so tired when she sleeps, she doesn't really dream at all, but there he was
Holding his belly, blood on his shirt, she heard him scream her name
And then she saw him fall
Alisha wipes her face and whispers to herself
"It was just a dream"
She sniffs, and nods, and dries her eyes
She checks the time
It's 04:18

[Verse 1]
It's a strange thing, your face seems to fade with the changing seasons
Then for some reason it comes back more present than ever
Well, not your face really, more a sense of you
Even though I know it's happened, it's no more comprehensible than
If it was an abstract thing, someone else's friend, are you
Asking me for something, is there something I should do?
It's hard on your mother, she lost your little brother too
But your sister's doing good, man, she's smart, smart like you
And she'll finish her degree next year, try and find a job
I suppose she's got her head screwed on right, you don't have to worry
Is there something else, though? I mean, if there is, I'm sorry
'Cause I can't really think what you might want from me
