Fatefully - Hot Cross

It seems such a waste to stand still

Remembering time kills us, watching stones

Mantras repeated, never believed

Lifetimes and lifetimes spent deceived

We’ll decide amongst ourselves where we’ll hang when we’ve died

Leave your flowers at the door, all manner of colors makes it easy to hide

Pull this life apart

Dissect each piece;

Microscopic metronome to collect the last rhythm and curious eyes

We beg to know fall

Warmly among us aglow with knowing

Fly the fields to avoid the debts

We forget we are owing

We forget that we are owing

And I’ll steal each breath, sputtered out

As defiant words stain me, rearrange me

And stamp me with doubt

Fuck off, fuck off

Because I don’t need you

We’ll decide amongst ourselves where we’ll hang when we’ve died

Leave your flowers at the door, the colors make it easy to hide

You live through our minutes, divided yet shared

We dwell on impermanence, we survive you, yet we are scared

Pull this life apart with knowing
