lyrics

Waking up a silent Sunday
On a pillow full of lead
Overnight the heavy thoughts had been leaking from his head

You see, life was barking at him
So many cases of what to say and what to do
And then all them memories under a fine black layer of soot

Take your pillow to the coastline
Drench it in a grey North Sea
Watch it sink away ever so quietly, obediently, almost eagerly

There’s something here
Flashes through the sky into your mind
No warning – and then a flood of goodbyes

And there’s a stillness in the water
And there’s a rhythm in the waves
Say there is nothing to remember
There is nothing that important about you and your ways

O yes it’s here
It whips the sky and your eyes
Dissolves me into this flood of goodbyes

And it’s the same thing with mountains
It’s the same thing with the stars
It’s the same with certain paintings under a sweet infinity brush
Held by a man or a woman
With a leaking head of their own
And when in the dark their soul tentacles come out
They let them lead them to the known unknown
