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
