lyrics

Just when you thought that you had sussed it
You couldn’t trust the mind you’d built yourself
But how could anybody blame you?
You were under late-December’s spell
The cutting barbs can be alarming
Or was it charming? I could never tell
Be wary of the world that made you
It will forsake you to save itself

The rogues in chorus crave your misery
And how they howl it all by heart
And make things out to be unreachable
And so you reach into the dark

Perhaps the half moon was a warning
Perhaps there’s menace in the setting sun
Perhaps we shouldn’t live by omens
As if there’s nothing to be done
Forgive the hyperbolic notion
You are the Earth’s prodigal son
And we’ll pretend that we can know you
As if you can know anyone

The rogues in chorus crave your misery
And how they howl it all by heart
And make things out to be unreachable
And so you reach into the dark

I was a relic in a front room
I was a goner, I was worn and spent
I thought the mulling should be over
Without knowing what that meant
There is a blind spot in your vision
There is an ocean round your bed
Matters past, matters unfolding
They always find you in the end
