about

Ferocious and unsustainable.

lyrics

Once again in her den the carpet's worn from all her paces. I'm not in any of the places she tried to look for me. The towel drips and my tongue slips and all at once her radar's going to her right. As we collide the world divides to black and white. The canvas starts to burn (or is it return?). But I want something else than this double self. I want something new. Don't you want it too? It's in my mouth. Get it out before my tongue picks up the dagger from my hands, and more before it gives it back to them again. It sharpens with my words (or is it your verse?). Crescent moon, you came too soon. Your edges pinched together and they took my breath away, decapitated by the clench of sunbeams gone astray. And I can't think of any thought I'd want to think without you there. And I can't think of any thought I'd want to think without you there. But I want something mine. I want a clear line. Oh I want something new. Don't you want it too? I'm afraid of unlocked doors and I'm afraid of telling lies: I fear the fists around my wrists and I fear the wounded eyes, but I don't fear the fear itself, in fact, it's on it that I thrive. I need a different sustenance - I don't want to die, I don't want to die. Well, I never tried to kill myself and I was never really raped: my feet were inches from the edge and I was inches from too late. These inches inch up on me now like tarantellas in six-eight, and all the worlds are words away. I hope it's not too late, I hope it's not too late, 'cause I want something more than I had before. Oh I want something new. I want anything, anything, anything new.
