lyrics

Renewed and denuded I lie here
Awake to the consequence of less
I can mount this all within a word
The body is a table, however pendulous

How salacious was my valley?
The timing was not nearly right
Dress it all up in the words of the body
In the compost of whispers and mice

Rubbish strewed me; it’s gone
Nothing knew me; I’ve won
Rubbish strewed me; it’s gone
Nothing knew me; I’ve won

How wide was the mark?
How wide of the mark were we?
Did we really have to pull it all apart
Just so that we could see?

How wide was the mark?
How wide of the mark were we?
Did we really have to pull it all apart
Just so that we could see inside?
