The Bough Bends
(专辑: Distractions - 2021)
The
whole thing Just a
collection of fragments Bustling, vying, each holding its own constituents The
overall It's a
pragmatist view Overall it's going well It's going OK Some good ideas badly executed Best laid plans These irritating wounds we need to attend to Again and again The
ecstasy of erasure Blank and clean For a
moment A
chance to see what we could have been To see what we could have been Our reflections turn away And I
want you so much my clothes hurt me She smiled this morning A
big fantastic smile And I
was desperate for that happiness She leaned and kissed me And for a
moment I
didn't care about the
rest The
fruit is hanging In November still (Ungiven) Didn't know the
past then Or how it would feel (Unyielding) Block of resin With a
scorpion in too (Impregnable) A
stash of [?] tips At the
longest view (Pregnant, missing) Pages blackened With a
section torn (Avoided and unforgotten) Pages blacken, yellow and brown (Unsaid, useless) A
drop of venom in the
burgundy (Tissues, resist) A
nut of sadness in the
stupid sea (The only way down) It's the
only way down (It's the
only way down) It's the
only way down (It's the
only crossing) The
bell bends The
foot still here (Unpeel and taste it) I
cannot offer my help (Trembling and empty) I
cannot offer my help Distractions, distractions, distractions, distractions When we are broken No matter how hard we try To arrange and fool ourselves This unforgiveness Like a
disease We work against its will This space between too soon but too late Did we miss it? Has it arrived yet? We aren't sure Unforgiveness On a
hometown morning Calls unanswered We arrived here naked and screaming Only needed to be held We only needed to be held (Sunlight) This unforgiveness (Yellow light) This self-destruction, self-reconstruction, sexy and alluring (See light, light on my body) The
clawing and the
crumbling, the
reconstruction The
love and loathing Of this unforgiveness (See the
light [?])
