Augury Lyrics

You will do so much harm in a week

To yourself and likely to somebody else

Even if you say that you love it

You will come to terms with

How little your intentions really count

Even on a good day you can be so destructive

Yes! yes! yes!

You will destroy your reputation

A kind of pull you didn't know you had

And when you feel the tide coming in

You will make excuses to anyone who will listen

Save yourself for last

Or worse: you will get tired of him

Hold the line, don't get seen

Don't think about what should've happened, just proceed

Now send the text and block the number, make it clean

You will do so much harm in a week

A week will stretch itself into a year

See it all coming from a mile off

Now and then a waxy night will

Make your circumscriptions crystal clear

But even on a good day

D'you think you got the guts to make the effort to stop? well

Yes! yes! yes!

Think of things that would send you under

Think of things that would claw out your eyes

Don't even try

Hold the line, don't get seen

Do your best to worry over trivialities

And when you relapse shake it off like just another awful dream

Fail!

Fail every time from greater heights

Even fail when you succeed

I know exactly how this is gonna go

In many ways, this has already run its course

I read the entrails twenty times or more

I count a flock of carrion birds offshore

I used to dream about a man in the crook of my shoulder

But lately that does not click in

I'm standing up frozen in the middle of the night

Wearing the clothes that I bought for him, for him

Well, it - it sounds ridiculous I'm sick of it myself

But where else am I to be done?

The only thing that sticks in my head a month on

Is the chemical sweet of his nicotine gum

You feel it long before you know it: corrosive

It's already too late to comply

You think back to how the last time you fucked

He looked a bit too far past your eyes your eyes

It hasn't even happened but that doesn't matter

Time is a blur in all directions now

You say let's figure something out but nothing ever figures out

Because tomorrow's ringing far too loud

So you just say

Yes! Yes! Yes!
