Second Bridge

(album: The Hypnogogue - 2023)

I'm sorry
I was miles away
A black cloud left me here with a lack of remorse
Of course
We've been blown off course
A source of the present
The moon as a crescent

The master and the servant
The dragging of the current
The pressure of the distance
The measure of insistence

They say this isle is full of noises
An intruder in the burrow
The hand within the hollow
Follow me down to the ruined town
The tears upon the pillow
The shock of the first hello
The web upon the window
The shadow of a widow
Today they wake up to a nightmare
The choking of the shallow
The weeping of the willow

I wanted to be here for you (Possession)
I'm home to lay, I'm fading out
We loved you even greater (New position)
And you ought to
And you ought to know

The terrain upon the surface
The meaning of the purpose
I'm nervous about the delay
The chatter of the carriage
The marriage to the damage

We'd love to be here for you (Possession)
We're home to lay, you're fading out
We loved you even greater (New position)
Things you ought to
Things you ought to know

Today I came to in the morning
I was writhing in the undergrowth
The DA says you're under oath
And tonight I go to my sleep backwards
And then I'll live life forwards
I'll be completely normal
