about

These Days is Gene Pool's first new song since their second album 'Space Inside' dropped in March 2020. It is really good.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I think you’re better off not knowing
You know you got a big storm comin’
Lick the stones
Enjoy their weight
Conferring with the turning tides
Not like it used to be (it couldn’t be)
Not like you and me (no it couldn’t be)
Not on days like these (it couldn’t be)
What do you hate to see?

Ten seconds for the ghosts to hide
While the white light hurts your eyes
They fold themselves inside the walls
Too many holes inside this house

Not like it used to be (we’re laughing)
Not like you and me (we’re giggling)
Not on days like these (we’re innocent)
Throw away what we don’t need

Howling growling down the line
Stranger walking on thin ice
The day's already getting near
Pitch black but the water is so clear

Not like it was, these days
Not how it used to be, these days

Crystalline
Brain of mine
Clog it up with sand and grit
Thirteen centimetres thick
This is gonna last a while so
Hold on to that service smile
For another hundred years
A hundred years from ear to ear
A hundred years from ear to ear
Not like it used to be (it couldn’t be)
Not like you and me (no it couldn’t be)
Not on days like these (it couldn’t be)
Do you remember me?

Ten seconds for the ghosts to hide
While the white light hurts your eyes
They fold themselves inside the walls
Too many holes inside this house
Massage your sickness feel it grow
How did you get to be so old
Tomorrow can’t be killed with flames
We reignite it day by day

Not like it was, these days
Not how it used to be, these days

I don’t think the summers coming back
I think this winter is our last
Let the light fade from my skin
The sharpened pain of breathing in
Whether I get up or stay in bed
The end beats down on my head
Somewhere deep down deep down in a hole
The perfect place to lose a soul
