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
[Sung (Spoken)] 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 bough bends The fruit still here (Unpeel and taste it) I cannot offer my help (Trembling and empty) I cannot offer my help Distractions, distractions, distractions, distractions
[Spoken (Sung)] 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 ???)
