lyrics

I wake before the sun most days now
And in the silky violet light I lay
Scrutinizing all of my saboteurial ways
Yet scheming how I'll betray all my resolutions today

I've been a few times round the existential block
I've spit time and again in the face of the ticking clock
My albatross, my pleasure in despair must finally wane
If I just want to feel, not to feign

I sleep before the moon most nights now
But as I drift I wax with hazy enlights
I may require readers for my hindsight
Somebody please get me blinders for all of this insight

I've been a few times round the existential block
I've spit time and again in the face of the ticking clock
My albatross, my pleasure in despair must finally wane
If I just want to feel, not to feign

Witness me, bide with me
While I plié round a chasm
Absurdity of absurdities
Mais donne moi le dernier mot
Please give me the last word
I think I'm ready now
I'm finally ready now
