When the arc snaps back we will never know fear
In the meantime we laugh when we're nervous
And the pain you felt, did it ever heal
I can see you hang your bitterness higher
I could turn you into the place where I write
In the meantime I am humming at the surface
And the pain I felt, did it ever heal
If I unearth the past will it seize my desire
But I don't write it off
I don't turn to the other side
Lash back at the tumultuous mire
How disempowered we make ourselves for others
And the pain you felt did it ever heal
I can see it stand up, unerased from your mind
Can the combination exist
can you grieve and bow to it
And I am in all places at once
Intimately connected at all the right times
And the pain I felt did it ever heal
When the surface tension breaks I survive
I don't write it off
I don't turn to the other side
Now the arc is spinning just like it wants to
And your head is spinning just like it wants to
But I know something about you I didn't before
Your trust lets me in

Playing synthesizer like an amazingly fun new toy, all the features of which he can't wait to explore, Devours sings, in a nice tenor, witty songs as self-lacerating as Morrissey's, without the crappy politics. voxpoptart
