lyrics

By chance she’s come to know
to see that she’s alive
a simple truth has come too soon
now sadness pricks her eyes

A child laughs, this one smiles
the corners bear the weight
time sits gently ‘cross her lips
a trick of god and fate

I’d hoped she would have laughed
cast her eyes from the source
for ignorance to take away
the price of death’s discourse

I wish she didn’t know it
couldn’t see so clear and far
she keeps her eyes towards the night
to mourn the cold dead stars

Won’t somebody help me
forget that i’m alive?
an ever changeless dry ideal
a thought that strokes and strives

Unity, a simple cry
they feel the masses close
that same speed that crushed the sky
the sticky rich verbose

Lower expectations
don’t shit fuck eat or sleep
stumble round without a sound
try to fall in deep

If i could catch some truth in you
i’d hold it up to mine
raise it in, where none shall pass
and scratch it till it shines
