lyrics

Wreck, rebirth

The broken-bottled dregs I don’t need for conviction any more

Median castaway, a faded dream’s allure

Played enough at climbing from my concrete island home

Forgotten what these broken legs were for



I leave behind

The tyranny of signs

Transparent things you hold on to

I know what’s mine

A greying field of sky

And in whose grip I lie



Pain, no less

Blackout caresses, encroaching green

Forgotten what my failing eyes had seen

Once so excessive, now so lean



I leave behind

A life of lies between the lines

The tyranny of signs

Transparent things you hold on to

I know what’s mine

No, I was never so alive

A greying field of sky

And in whose grip I lie
