lyrics

Can I hold your attention for the length of a sentence, or are you asleep?
It's increasingly desperate that I'm having to mention, the way that you weep.

Who made you this way?
Was it nature? Was it Nietzsche?
And those in the frame -
Do they hate you? Do they need you
To go when you want to...

There's an edge to step away from
And there's a ledge you shouldn't wait on
Breaking point remains an oblong,
The weakest voice says "stay strong,
and go where they want you, crawl into life,
In with the ones who dance all night."
Celia, it's getting serious.

Well, this theory relies on a clearing horizon, which no-one can promise.
For the wizened to wisen, the prison declines and paves a path to the solace.

Far out in the night,
Heaven meets a troubled creature.
Push hard and you might,
Find a way to discontinue.
and go when you want to, call it a life.

There's an edge to step away from
And there's a ledge you shouldn't wait on
Breaking point remains an oblong,
The weakest voice says "stay strong!"
And the patron saint of patience faints upon seeing this endurance.
The hand-me-downs are handed down with hollow reassurance.
but it's all
all
you've got
and it's all
all
used up.
You've got/used up, oh.

Who made you this way?
Was it nature? Was it Nietzsche?
There's an edge to step away from
And there's a ledge you shouldn't wait on
Breaking point remains an oblong,
The weakest voice says "stay strong,
and go where they want you, crawl into life,
In with the wrong dudes, that's alright!"
Celia, it's getting sillier.
but, Celia, it's getting serious.
