lyrics

Caught in a maelstrom,
just trying to stay calm
you tied yourself to the mast.
Perhaps under a banner
you’d find what you’re after,
someone who’d understand.
I wanted to meet you,
I tried hard to see you,
I just couldn’t draw the plan.
You chose the course,
to hell with my remorse,
I love you as best as I can.

How many truths must I tell
before they come to be fiction?
How many lies can I tell
before I’m betrayed by my diction?
Up from the foam
like Venus you rose,
and, like Venus,
you had secrets to keep.
We built a home
but you’re still so alone
even though you hold me as I sleep.

You wanted to be heard
I caught every third word,
it wasn’t for me to decide.
But when I said there are happy ending,
it wasn’t a lie.

(Pitchfork (8.0)) ... more
