invalids - scourge of a despot lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
thrown in paths elliptical
lasted just an hour
called us all to witness

we hoped for total blackened sky
awakened street lights (in the afternoon)
though ideal they aligned we (we’d forget)
stood outside the path of totality (what’s still left)
when it comes again where will we be then?

[hook]
maybe it wasn’t what we’d thought
there in the dark, there were no shapes to all the stars
to tell them apart
we thought then what if it means nothing

[verse 2]
you saw the moonlight split among its woven turns
and how the light was thus disturbed
you swallowed your words
hoping for another way out
but never could work up the nerve
‘cause fulfillment has a learning curve

[chorus]
and i kept to the wall, got off on the wrong floor
(i was hoping this time i’d stay for more)
when i left out the rest, you knew there was more
the present tense now seldom affords
(relevant) discourse like

[verse 3]
we used to feel things we had never felt
used to keep secrets we’d never tell
used to have someone to keep the secrets from
i guess we used them well

[hook]
waited ‘til the night before
waited through the winter
wait ‘til years p-ss faster than before

i opened the door
i stood in silence before entering
we’re working up to our reflections of the surface

[verse 4]
and its spinning makes no difference
(and its ending meant acceptance)
we can’t feel angles obliquitous
(was to be our last attempt)
we’ll be upright, though at a distance
anywhere on the surface
