Tarrare 52 Lyrics

I can feel it swelling within

a steady tide

which is the tool - is it your mouth or my knife?

make it a promise, make it a ring

in my wake I've made my mark on everything mine to take

when I raise my song

that is when we part

you would break a whale's bleeding heart

I'm tired

pushed in, shoved down

cannot hear me

pushed in, shoved down

always feed, never remain

satisfied

make it a promise, make it a ring

make it cry

no way to fill this spiralling vacuum

nothing reflects the songs back at you

no-one hears, no-one hears

nobody will know the sound of my voice

no sounding board to hate or enjoy

but we are here, we are here

find your release in mine

please no-one

you would break a whale's bleeding heart

I'm tired

pushed in, shoved down

cannot hear me

pushed in, shoved down

when I raise my song

please no-one

that is when we part

but here we are

when I raise my song

please no-one

that is when we part

I'm tired

(do I still exist in all this?)

(I'm gonna push it in and numb myself)

the hunger reaches up

the hunger reaches down

the hunger swells within

and grows without
