The freshness of water
The scent of lavender
Her simple pleasures
Her oxygen, her lumenal
She says she wants to be sublime
I tell her drink
You're thirsty all the time
And every day a piece of her goes
But she stays beautiful
We watch the news
Drumming through the room
The experts muse
Becoming realer, true
Between my calls to tell her life
Over and over
And when she speaks
Every word is made round
'Cause I give them weight
Till there's thunder all around
The world is fouler everyday
But she stays beautiful
You go like it's any day
Like nothing at all
Dutiful
We stay right
Where we held her gaze that night
It's pain
It's mad
It's beautiful
And here we are
A language we don't know
Words of death
Spoken dumb and slow
But we find that we can say anything
And it's all due to her
And here we are,
The warmth of other suns
On our backs, we're making our fun
They say we ought to be afraid
But how can we
When she stayed beautiful?
Beautifully recorded collection of excellent, ear-wormy tunes. Love the jazzy, kinetic drumming, and guitar sounds. Fav song is "nothing ends" :) Face of Man
