Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Sept. 30, 2023]

I'm sorry I was miles away
A black cloud left me here
With a lack of remorse
Of course we've been blown off course
A source of the present
The moon as a crescent

The master and the servant
The dragging of the currents
The pressure of the distance
The measure of insistence

They say
This isle is full of noises
An intruder in the burrow
Hand within the hollow

Follow me down
To the ruined town
The tears upon the pillow
The shock of the first hello

The weather on the window
A shadow of a widow
Today they wake up to a nightmare
The choking of the shallow
The weeping of the willow

I wanted to (possession) be here for you
I'm home too late, I'm fading out
We loved you (repossession) even greater
Than you ought to
Than you ought to know

The terrain upon the surface
The meaning of the purpose
I'm nervous about the delay
Chatter of the carriage
Married to the damage

We'd love to (possession) be here for you
We're home too late, you're fading out
We loved you (repossession) given greater
Things you ought to
Things you ought to know

Today
I came to in the morning
I was writhing in the undergrowth
DA says you're under oath

Tonight
I go to my sleep backwards
But then I live life forwards
Are we completely normal
