Breaks Lyrics - Kate Tempest

So here is our moment, frozen 

We've seen our seven unmoving 

In their lonely homes 

It's been 4: 18 and dawn's still hours off yet 

My God and they are cold and listless 

Not quite sure that they exist 

Here in this moment, slow and viscous 

Lips haunted by the ghosts of kisses 

There is the endless saturation of the days 

And here they are 

There is nothing moving but their breath 

But watch now 

As the breaking storm outside brings this moment into action 

The sky cracks into a wild-mouthed grin 

And unleashes all the water that it's carried 

Vapour grown heavy from every distant puddle 

Every lapping wave tip 

Every churning river 

Contributing to this rain 

Now Pete on his doorstep, he looks up 

Mouth agape, and he drops his key in shock and laughs 

A howling, ancient laugh 

The lightning charges through them 

Rips the sky and startles every roof in stark relief 

And they see their city new 

Esther hears herself shout a strange bark into the silence of her kitchen 

Gemma sits bolt-upright in bed, wide eyed 

And she stares at the rain as it smashes itself against her windows 

Zoe puts her boxes down 

Bradley reaches for his dressing gown 

And I see it from above 

Seven doors to seven flats 

Open at the same time and light the raining pavement 

Seven broken hearts, seven empty faces 

Are heading out of doors 

Here's our seven perfect strangers 

And they see eachother 

Strangely dressed 

One shoe and one slipper 

Socks falling off 

Smiling 

Gathering slowly, tentatively in the middle of the road 

Shielding their eyes at first 

But then tipping their necks back 

Unhunching their shoulders 

Opening their bodies up to this storm 

And their hair is flat and against their heads 

All puffed up madly outwards 

And the hands slip off their chins and cheeks 

As they clutch their faces, open-mouthed 

"Amazing!" they shout 

"We've seen it!" they shout 

As they walk like children into the eye of a game 

And BAM! 

Close, close 

Shocked and laughing 

Soaked to the skin
