Mer Noire Lyrics

I ain't got no one in this but myself

Fuck the rules

Made by somebody else

Who can explain?

Who can explain?

This passage through

A body of ash

Arisen again at last

Gone too fast

And when and what and how about that moment

When masks will be through?

Nudity does not reveal what is hidden

Nude is the absence of the hidden

Naked is to see bare bones and sinews

Moment is only seen for its truest seam

When all the thread's gone unbound

And the hem divides

And the garment of reality concedes

To the persistent downward pull of gravity

We ain't got no one in this but ourselves

Fuck the wall put my somebody else

Who can explain?

Who can explain?

Like a bullet from a gun it whistles

Like the cicadas among the leaves

So freely

A boat punctured in the hull

Like our hearts and lungs and pride

Steeped in the smoke of collective burials

Rebirthings black as pitch

Black as the sea before dawn

Black as the sea before dawn

Black as the sea before dawn

With a little moon glow shining upon

Black as the sea before dawn

The sun's fingers

Snap to life the flame

That carries us all

Around again

The sun's fingers

Snap to life the flame

That carries us all

Around again
