about

Written in mental health crisis, 'Finchley Road' marks a point of severance - a point of departure on a journey towards focus and recovery.

lyrics

My life
I used to be the pilot
But they lost the plane
And they just can't find it

Black box
Black book
Survive the fire
Lose the pulse
When you connect the wires
Scream then silent
Lost my way and I just can't find it

It ain't what it used to be
Not like I'm losing sleep
Do you still assume me to be
The girl of your dreams?
Cos I'm not too cold
Alone in these sheets

Scab fell off
I'm so over bleeding
I'm still eating
My head tells me not to
But that's not because of you
Don't give yourself the credit

You smashed my atoms up
But I just bagged them up
Hopped on the next bus northbound
Already bussed it
To the next chick
But I got a DM from a blue tick
With a long dick and we just fuck around

I'm lying
Tell my head to be quiet
You say you're fine
Well I just don't buy it
Send you a drunk text
And you still reply it

My life
I used to be the pilot
But they lost the plane
And they just can't find it

Black box
Black book
Survive the fire
Lose the pulse
When you connect the wires
Scream then silent
Lost my way and I just can't find it

Have my eyes been open this whole time?
Streets I thought were mine
Are strange to me
My own skull is caving me
Look back and you see
The vanishing point of saving me
Stuck but the days still move
As my shadow splits in two
You better look ahead
If I start to follow you
