lyrics

Take me by surprise, I don’t want to know anything about nothing anymore.
I can build my world straight from the source. I don’t want to hear about it anymore.

Could I still grow in a world that’s broke?
Should I still grow? Is the world too broke?

On and on in the same place
Cut my ear off to spite your face

--------------------

In the widening gyre
The bluebird on the wire
The moment of desire
The servants of the Lord building the pyre
Deny, make it higher, make it higher!
Yes, you are free
To choose fire or fire

---------------------

I break free of the world to come, pulling weeds in the garden.
I break free of disaster and in the house i hear laughter.
I know the prophecies of weather but do i know who my sons are?
Oh I would like to know you better.

I think I know what my heart’s become. It’s half-closed and scared to love.
What’s the point of trying? All I see now is the dying.
Oh I would like to see things better.

Slow me down, lord, make it slow. From the ground I can hear my soul.
The whole world is sick and stoned. I would like to make just one thing whole.
I would like to make it better.

One sister loved Seven Swans. One sister loves Hannah Hunt.
What else should I ask for? What else but to love more?
Oh I would like to love you better.
