The Echo of Pleasure
The Echo of Pleasure
My Only
If all your questions answer all the same
And all this tension makes the matter so plain
See you like sea blue from a desert shore
How much I need you, I just want you more
Now that I said it, don’t you forget you’re my only
Now that you’re here, I don’t have a fear
You’re my only
So keep it together, I won’t find another
Love like I found you
You know I breathe for you
The blood on your lip and the empty street
You tightened your grip, whispered you wouldn’t sleep
Until you saw sea blue from a winter shore
I couldn’t stop you, I couldn’t fight no more
You’re my only
Anymore
Black eyes in the summer sublime
Now your blood has turned to wine
Don’t be so quick to call me a child
Came to with the curtains drawn
No need to hide the scars on your arms
Was then I knew nothing was wrong
Anymore, I couldn’t take anymore
I wanted to die with you
I didn’t know the price I’d pay
I lost my way, don’t say it wasn’t true
But could you never learn to behave
Like a middle class kid with the privilege to save
Your barbs for a private page?
Don’t need to be told what I’ll never be
Anymore
The Garret
The light of our lives burns down
Waiting for hours and hours
Our hunger is just a hum
Another distraction
But in your arms
I feel lost and torn
Call to a silent room
The answer comes so crystal
It’s not like you need to learn
We’re tied to each other
In your arms
I feel a stranger faith
Forget the countless ways
I am so alien, a prisoner in skin
Our bodies break like glass
And shatter all our fears
I want to know you then
When heaven disappears
Tears in your heart remain
And nothing I do could ever undo
But I want to stay halfway the same
Now I fear you’re drifting beyond me
The words I say don’t say
The touch is what I need
You take my youth away
And leave me with no need
When I leave you, I can’t leave you
Part of me remains
In the garret above, it was never enough
When I Dance With You
When I dance with you, I feel ok
‘Cuz I know just what to do
You get so down, I try to comfort
But sometimes words
They don’t do anything much at all
You tell me how we’re so different
You got a vision
But I can’t see beyond an afternoon
I don’t know how I’ll make money
Just want enough so you never have to worry
Who will we be in 2030?
Oh I can’t say, but I’d like it
If I always knew where you are
When I dance with you
Everyone else just slides out of view
When I dance with you
I feel just like there’s nothing I can do
But move the way you move
When I dance with you
I feel okay
The Echo Of Pleasure
Locked in your bedroom, the others distracted
Like sisters in secret you asked
With unusual substance if I wished I could feel it
Like the first or the second time we met
A rush then desire, you cut me in
hough I knew I never was
Like you beautiful, like you born to rule
I can hear it still, faint and chill
The echo of pleasure can’t return
Just fade into these silent days
The echo of pleasure
I was young and sick with love
Now I’m sick with something else
The curve of your spine as you knelt to your idol
Hollow and holier you swore
It was only for pleasure, the rush then desire
You turned on me, though I knew I never was
Like you scared to live, like you full of shit
I can hear it still
That was then and this is nowhere
‘Cuz you are nowhere near
And I can still hear
The echo of pleasure
Falling Apart So Slow
Don’t turn your golden shoulders away
I’ve spoken to the strawberries
Who miss you all the same
So tell me we won’t come undone again, again
Those muscle car boys
they know just what we need
Zero to anywhere is alright with me
Summer comes and summer dies
Kiss me like we’re half alive
Say what I already know
Take my hand, we’re falling apart so slow
I’ve said goodbye to all my missing friends
Told them I was losing just one more weekend
Winter comes and windows cry
Tell me I should come inside
Breathing but it’s soft and low
Take my hand, we’re falling apart so slow
Springtime comes we’re still alive
Twist me to your twisted side
Crush your wrist to get a pulse
The world ends for everyone else
Don’t tell me what you want to see
When all I lost was symmetry
You’re laughing but it’s long ago
Take my hand, we’re falling apart so slow
So True
Olga steals drinks from distracted men in bars
While she dreams of the Soviets’ return
It’s the price they should pay for thinking anyone her age
Should hear what they say
If you don’t wake up looking like death in the grass
How do you know that you’re not like the rest
And I know that you’re not going to rest
And I know that you’re really so true
Ylva chains herself to a rig in the sea
And nearly dies in the week she’s there
In a city sick with wealth and little else
It’s good to feel nothing at all
If you don’t lose some skin for the things you believe
How do you know that you really do
And I know that you really do
And I know that you’re really so true
Now you’re tied to each other
but by winter you’ll wonder
If boredom was just an excuse
For locking your arms as the black passing cars
Cast silhouettes of your youth
If you don’t lose your breath or the things you believe
How can you know if you really do
And I know that you really do
And I know that you’re really so true
But I could never be
The Cure For Death
Hold no hand, still she pulls you
Don’t look back, stills she follows you
As the North Sea screams
You’ll cross the boundary
And it feels like nothing feels like
And the cure for death is
Wild and breathless
When you lost more than you’ll ever know
Don’t die away
And you’ll walk all night
With a wounded hunter’s stride
But when she’s near you’re almost scared<
Nothing could be so clear
And you want to stay like a runaway
When you need more than you'll ever know
Don't die away
Stay
A city of strangers all know you’re name
Circling ‘round, moths to a fire
If I know you better, I shouldn’t say
I’m losing my words, but keeping my way
And I will stay with you
When everyone’s gone, when everyone runs
Yes I will still be true
When everyone turns, when everyone runs
To some other sun
Come Sunday morning drowning in dawn
Could this be the end of an endless night?
When the music dies and the lights come on
I’ll stay with you
When you feel your days are running down
I’ll stay with you
