Lyrics

(A meat mine)
If you could just see me now
Hands pitted blood red
One clasped to my chest
The other covering my wound...
Base metal...
(Like some bag of skin)
I felt for one moment that I could reach out to you
That the sea in its wisdom
Its green blue wisdom
Could for one impulsive moment cease its spring tide
(You're wasting my time)
Send my aching limbs towards your totem smile...
And that my bleeding might stop...
And that my wounds could heal
(Nobody has the decency to say anything)
And that my arm could weld itself to yours
(We dream together)
People pour past me a wilting figure
Metallic
Wooden
Constrained...
(Caged
Masked
Hatred)
I felt as if I could see leaves
I could see summer leaves
That autumn's wind had cast to the ground
(Give it up...)
I felt as if I could sculpt time
But in one moment
This sweet clay turned to blood...
Sea blood
Un-refined...
(We sit in silence)
I had hoped to sculpt a memory of you
Sea memories
Of intense colours contained within a million sea stones...
(Spoon fed or watershed...)
(Give it up...
And kill)
(Jahyawhan)
