From morning to night I stayed out of sight Didn t recognise I d become No more than alive I d barely survive In a word .
.
.
overrun Won t hear a sound He s curled into the corner From my mouth But still the screen is flickering I ve spent too long With and endless stream of garbage to On the inside out
curse the place My skin is cold In a sea of random images To the human touch The self-destructing animal This bleeding heart s Waiting for the waves to break Not beating much I murmured a vow of silence and now I don t even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by light I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile I m creeping back to life My nervous system all away I m wearing the inside out Look at him now He s paler somehow But he s coming round He s starting to choke It s been so long since he spoke Well he can have the words right from my mouth And with these words I can see Clear through the clouds that covered me Just give it time then speak my name Now we can hear ourselves again I m holding out He s standing on the threshold For the day Caught in fiery anger When all the clouds And hurled into the furnace he ll Have blown away .
.
.
curse the place I m with you now He s torn in all directions Can speak your name And still the screen is flickering Now we can hear Waiting for the flames to break Ourselves again |
