Harm

from Soil by Naevus

lyrics

We trudged down from the undergrowth
Along the open road
We knew our own way home
We knew our own way home
At that flattened, twisted junction
I have chosen heavy loads
The unlucky ones, they know
The unlucky ones, they know

There’s no disguise for this
Why do I try to hide
The workings of, the amblings of
A toppled mind?
Will this continue to the next thing?
Did it follow from the last?
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember how

A passer by was staring deep
Into your open skirt
As we lay there in the dirt
As we lay there in the dirt
Should we make ourselves do painful things?
And do they really hurt?
Do they really hurt?
Do they really hurt?


There’s no disguise for this
Why do I try to hide
The workings of, the amblings of
A toppled mind?
Will this continue to the next thing?
Did it follow from the last?
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember how

You pushed me down into the crack
Of that ruptured edifice
And trod my leaking limbs down flat
Saying, “Nothing will stand proud of this”
And no, I don't have a routine
Or at least not one like you mean
And I say I can’t get to sleep
But I’ll lose myself in those filthy sheets
