Lacuna

Sun said it's gonna shine on, down into my window

It's gonna light my room just right

Gonna shine and make the pain go



They go running from the rain in case it turn to thunder

I ripped out the reason, the truth that dragged you under

Speaking in disguises your words are ornamental

A vapour trail and then you are gone



And I've got a lesson to learn



There's a lot to be

Said for this morbid self-attention

The problem lies in my external obsession

Animal is hungry been sleeping for far too long

Gonna fill this lacuna somehow



I'm thinking of a man I once knew

I thought I had the hang of

He never learnt that the heart is perishable without love

But keep your heart out of it now

concentrate your vision

I'm lying here like a forfeit awaiting your incision

I don't wanna hear about it

Your new infatuation

I just wanna leave here wearing a smile



And I've got a lesson to learn



There's a lot to be

Said for this morbid self-attention

The problem lies in my external obsession

Oh baby, don't make no difference, your preference

Come fill this lacuna at least for now



I can think of a good few reasons to get fucked up but

You're just looking for an excuse to call yourself a fuck up

Look at her without the burden of what it is that you live for

She'll still be here when your carnival is over

She'll still be here when you are gone
