lyrics

Fifty/One Fifty
----------------

Unsure of what has passed
An anxious vacancy is set
Word wise enough to know
This errant naïf has rendered mine inept

And I don't know what I've left

Thoughts writhing in the air
The frequencies and rhythms numb
No sober word nor sound
Escape suppressed, this mortal drum

And I don't know if I could
Smiting bone instead of wood


In between
Something's missing
Absence of words deflect mine
Blood is chilled
Drained of expectation
Left in passive desperation
To resign

In your womb
What proteins have conspired
(Woe found release)
Anomic
Our recklessness reviled
(Gave birth to a beast)
A barren glimpse
Of faltering desire.
(Of fear and unease)

To span resentment's breach
The pained aside, the steely glare
Is this paranoid dream of soft assault
Beyond repair?

And I wonder if you care
I pray that you still care
