Penix is a Cornish-language family name (Cornish surnames) originating in Cornwall. In medieval times, people were known by their given names, but as the population grew, surnames were added based on the place that they owned or lived in to distinguish people from one another. While Celtic people tended to use patronymic names, many Cornish people used local place names as surnames, sometimes in addition to patronymics.
The name Penix could be derived from a local place name, the family lived in the parish of Saint Pinnock, in Cornwall. Surnames are spelled in many ways, due to lack of spelling rules. Therefore, the name has been spelled Pinoke, Pinnick, Pinnock, Pincock and Pinock in addition to other variations of the name. The word "Pen" in Cornish means "head" or "end".
I have closed your door
I've marked out the creaks in the floor
I have so much I could say
but I wanna slip away
so I'll wait til youre asleep
you have kept me inside
like a still life caught
in a buzzing beehive
go on now close your eyes
blink and you'll miss me
I've made up my mind
I just wanted to be somewhere else
for a while
I was looking for a little bit more
but now I've been away so long
I don't remember what I'm looking for
there were times I was sure
I'd travelled too far to look behind anymore
and if our chances are bleak
I'm only so brave I'll make my moves while
you sleep
I just wanted to be somewhere else
for a while
I was looking for a little bit more
but now I've been away so long
I don't remember what I'm looking for
because I made my plans for the rest
of my days
I made my plans for every day
and I made my plans for yesterday
