Written & Produced by: Yunus Emre Aydın * Lyrics: Velvet gesture Seditious contestation Of a delicate marauder * Disfigured apathy Belonging to many lovers Honored yet by none * Disillusion Diaspora of a habit A beloved other to confusion * Has one who Stands upon the end Still have aught left to hide * Somehow vivid Neither lesser nor enhanced Questioning without regret * Unrectified wrong Poisoned the roots evergreen Exhumed forgotten but absorbed * I unbound the knees And nailed them down So they'd never wander off Without me, yet within me, I waited With my teeth, I tore them loose And nailed them down Fearing my hands might fail I muttered Bouquets of carnations spilled from my lips Their scent, the sweetest of all Longing, as longing blooms Grows thorns—so that one day, this very day They might remain with me Filling the holes opened without my presence Filling them with the weight of my absence Unbeknownst to me, they slip away You've seen—how they laugh How bright they were, as I shed carnations shed carnations shed carnations shed carnations Oh, how deeply I missed How the vane of time spins in mind Keys lost How in my dreams I nailed them all down * I nailed them all down I nailed them all down I nailed them all down I nailed them all down * Don't fail me now Don't fail me now Don't fail me now Don't fail me nowmore
