lyrics

by the grace of near tears
simple nature of the most essential law
the glass of gloom
there shattered and said
by the grace of near tears
simple nature of the most essential law
the glass of gloom
there shattered and said
I, another,
who is to share in the execution
of the habits of their speech
who say a speaker
a hearer
exclusively individual
involved in the ability to create
this sense
these tears
an apparition
torn from a trance
or a long nights sleep
and faithfully attended
by the whole wide world
thank the useful organs
likely that they're faithful
to the silent sounds

delicious afternoise

by the grace of near tears
simple nature of the most essential law
the glass of gloom
there shattered and said
I, another,
who is to share in the execution
of the habits of their speech
who say a speaker
a hearer
exclusively individual
involved in the ability to create
this sense
these tears
an apparition
delicious afternoise...
