Carolina

Feel no peace and make no war, so what is it you want?

In coastal climes, you'll wait all time for some silent détente

Mourning for a poet who never spoke a word

Bury your young father with enmity insured

Throw the dishes in the street, no one eats here anymore

Tired of playing house with some disgraced philosopher

Saturdays you work a double at the Uni Store

I don't demand your attention like the child I was before

Carolina, I can't hold you anymore

Seems I never really was when I was yours

Should I feel some shame for hanging on in vain

To the sight of your tongue, tryna catch the acid rain?

Yeah, the sight of your light fading out and in again

Stranded in some century that we left in disrepair

Combing through the dunes like some burner angel's hair

No mind or no matter, you're uncomfortably kind

When your windows shattered, there was nothing much to find

Carolina, I can't hold you anymore

Seems I never really was when I was yours

Should I feel some shame for hanging on so long

To the touch of your hand falling where it don't belong

Out on the shivering sand as the sun was burning down?

Carolina, I can't hold you anymore

Seems I never really was since I was yours

Should I feel some shame for hanging on in vain?

Carolina, will we never meet again?

Carolina, will we never meet again?

Carolina, will we never meet again?
