Come True

Called back with soft insistence
Providence discreetly cast the snare
Failures- no, no one ever
Like we failed to stem the flow- so drained of feeling
But dreams don’t-
Come true
Come true
Come true
Dreams don’t come true
Confiding with sharp resistance
I was very wrong so let’s make it worse
Dig my hands and rip the life out
Led into the sweetest dream- the knives come out
The veil’s removed and I pray that it won’t-
Come true
Come true
Come true
If I don’t dream, it can’t come true
I’ll just lie and stay awake
I’ll just lie

Whisper softly, secret. Pained and rasping hiss when it’s cold
I guess I can’t bear bitterness for what I can’t recall
Speak the truth- if you knew, why didn’t you tell me?
Even if you’re right, I won’t do what you ask me to do
Even if you’re right, I won’t do what you tell me to
Stark in streetlight holding- knife to carve some warmth against the night
I can’t help but feel that I was misled after all
Speak the truth- if you knew, why didn’t you tell me?
Even if you’re right, I won’t do what you ask me to do
Even if you’re right, I won’t do what you tell me to

Fog from distant star
Shrouding
Stones beneath my feet
She calls
Must go up to go down
Must go down to get out
To where?
Eurydice- my wandering shade
Half-awake, lost in an ashtray
Like a finger-trap, you pull away
Day breaks, day breaks
But I don’t have the strength to change
Light on distant shore
Vivid gray and recognize a face
Low and buzzing sound
Turn to find no one
Eurydice- my only faith- Lilac gray
She could see me how I could be
She could see me how I really might be
And I hate it and I hate it
But I don’t have the strength to change
Eurydice, Eurydice, Eurydice, Eurydice

You’ve come through so many black rooms to find me
To find me
Belief
Visitations

Whistle and I will come to you
Hotel bedroom sheets won’t comfort you
Idle hands are torturers
Writhing like snakes in milk will do
It’s too strong
The bangle’s drag along my spine makes me forget that I’ve been choking on this
Heart of hate for so long
Surreptitious sighs at night
Self-abuse from spite:
Just leave it out, leave it out
Living by creeds that were rotten from the outset
It’s all a vain enterprise
Whistle and I’ll come to you
I’ll come to you
I’ll come

I’m trying so hard to please you
I’m trying so hard to please you
We just want to know when we can give up
We just want to know when we can give up
I see your faith decay
You feel all your hopes were unheard
I fooled you all this time
You know all that love was wasted
Speak the right curses
Be the right person
Speak the right curses
Was your faith worthless?

Please speak up
Best left unsaid
Dull, dead tongue
Promised you that we’d stay young
Did we believe it?
I know by now you’ve forgotten you knew me
If I left a mark, it should be a scar
We fucked up
It’s worse than dead
Broken tongue
So many chances
I lost each one
Couldn’t believe it
I know by now that you’re sorry you knew me
If I left a mark, I’m so sure it’s gone by now
I’m here, pulling my tongue out, ‘cause I know I can never speak to you
And it’s clear that I hate myself more than I can love you
And I try just to numb myself, ‘cause it’s true I could never know you
And it’s clear that I hate myself much more than I could love anyone
It’s so close
It’s sewed closed

Final Complaints
06:27
|
|||
|
Clear-eyed for the first time in my life and as I pass away,
Time moves so slow and much too fast
These are my final complaints: youthful, unknown
These are my final complaints: I’m no wiser now than I ever was
Cruel lies- spoken soft enough to sound like loving truths
And I reach blindly in the dark. What extends to meet my grasp?
These are my final complaints: tasted the salt of life
These are my final complaints: the sting remains but the source is lost
I’m sick to death
I’m sick to death
I’m sick to death
I’m sick to death

Slaves is my favorite song, although Crosses comes at such a close second... this LP and acts of worship I both need to own in some sort of physical copy one day, they're so good at expressing emotions I didn't even know I felt...
