"put some special tubes into the right side of the heart.
put some tapes around the great veins
that enter the right side of the heart.
when these are snugged down,
direct all the blue blood
back to the heart."
"It seemed incredible that it could be probed,
open to examination,
cut into,
repaired.
repaired."
"we knew there was a hole in his heart but where?
how could this organ function at all with a hole in it?!"

you won't be dead
02:50
|

I wanna pick up the pieces of a broken pot,
collect them from the floor to the table,
I wanna wake in the morning and find them gone,
back into the cupboard as a whole.
I wanna pick up the pieces of your shattered heart,
leave them laying on the table for the night.
I wanna wake in the morning and find it intact,
pumping on the surface in a puddle of blood.
I wanna open you chest and put it back,
softly placing it between the cushions of your lungs.
And when I sew back your limbs with a golden thread,
you won't be dead anymore, you won't be dead.

i see you
04:16
|

who are all of these people?
i don't see anyone i know
i can't see you
someone said you were coming
and i'm stood here waiting trying to chat
to somebody new
and then i see you
oh it's not you
and i hear you
you have the voice of someone new
and i had you
but you slip away
i can't touch you
anymore anyway

northern lights

you dropped me
tried to pick me
from the floor
i don't want to be friends anymore
driving in the northern lights with you
i only see this deep deep dark dark blue
and it's freezing
i'm freezing

did you see the sun rise
03:40

did you see the sun rise
from over the mountain?
why is it that dawn
is never warm?
did you hear the ice?
it's thickening the fall.
but did you see the sun rise
from over the mountain?
and did it fight the darkness?
shadows come out at night from behind the leaves
can you feel their cold fingers against your cheeks?
in the dark the moonlight pouring on the trees.
fears, they don't ever let me sleep.
but did you see the sun rise
from over the mountain?
and did it fight the darkness?

mirror
02:10
|

there's a mirror in the living room
that deforms all of the features.
no one's here to prove it wrong,
what if
it reflects my real nature?
there's a theatre in the kitchen
and the characters are waiting.
"there's a turkey in the oven, hun
you're the strong one, won't you take it?"
there are children in the garden
chasing after each snowflake;
and the dog is always barking,
the cat stealing from the plate.
there's a mirror in the living room
it deforms all over the features.
what if this is just a dream, my love?
what if that is our true nature?
and there's fire in the stove

when the feeling's over
02:36
|

when the feeling's over
there's not much to say
you poured into each other once
now that garden has withered away
leaves
you with remains
of
shrivelled insides
salty tears sometimes
hunger leads the fun ride
when couples divide
into single sides
like apples from that apple & cherry pie:
taste's alright
when the feeling's over
there's not much to say
you put down the phone
stare at the ceiling that's floating away.
it's ok.

rewind, not
01:15
|

it was
if what we had
was nearly certainly
obsession
often lies with me
here
such numbness and its war
really finish.
