about

(from Faithless Elector)

lyrics

every day is a holiday
and every night is a bow tied around a bottle
we grind our teeth on the edges
free to be as spoiled children
who have no self-control or patience

but I don't feel so eager
to rip into the bodies surrounding me
in your experience, you know
some packages tear more easily
as I hide from your demanding frisk

and you are thrilled to be alive,
but when you talk about it
people get scared of you.
we deal with more subtle emotions than conveyed,
and we are not letting a damn thing through.

I'm walking a dirty floor uncertainly to your room,
uncluttered, no attachment, you are crying,
and trying to free the starving children
from behind the floodgates which hold still your feelings.
I am dripping from a 19th century romance novel
and absorbing onto a blotter that's dissolving onto your tongue.
frightened, we drop to swap synapse for synapse
you will find no overlap in symmetry,
but two halves of a greater mind.
panic that you've gone too far and leave it behind.

and I am thrilled to be alive,
but when I talk about it
are you really that scared of me?
I fear indecision is a prison;
escape is trying to be part of what does not belong to me.
