weakerthans - without mythologies lyrics
a soft breeze
with the slippery concrete black and full of muddy slush
contrasting with the h–rfrost, clean and hung
on a tunnel of silent shivering trees
the ones you said you’d like to be
and the birds that screamed at the sun
now buried deep below the ground,
beneath the snow, i press my shoulder to this wall between us
i know you are behind me and i press my shoulder to this wall
determined not to turn around
i didn’t see you standing
still that statue that i molded in my mind to kiss
so beautiful you’ll never move again
someplace far away
at some sad table littered with chipped plates
with bad light in 48 frames from a movie on the cutting room floor
you said “true meaning would be dying with you”
and though i wanted to, i did not smile
but now i will give up on this wall that i have fought with
never uncover meaning behind our rich words
if i could i would make you a raging river
with angry rapids, supplied with rain
so you could always meander
and forever be able to run away
without contending
with myths wrongly interpreted
with pain
a harsh wind
