Scythe - The Weight of the Wind Lyrics

the flashlight shot right through your flickering heart

people's movements round you fall apart

cackle out an ooze of sweat and laughter

spin faster



learn your eyes' distress from quietening gazes

find your swift ignition flare amazement

a gutter ballroom to your feet

like raw meat



they move slowly - how they bore me, live so slowly



phosphor drowns in cigarettes breathless smoke

the prince of tuesday nights he spoils his joke

tickle fancies till they scream in rapture

moisture



i could never share your world

suddenly it's too absurd

sometimes even dance can limp

sometimes your diction's stumbleing

your footsteps never kiss the cancelled rhythms

schism



so here inside me it's all very quiet

drifting like the wind in my scorched hair

shifting like the winter through bald trees



all my life i am tonight

growing like a cramp in your right hand

thriving like the winter's divorced land



frustration leads to knowledgs

burn your laughter mirthless



so here inside it's all right

ruthless like the needle in my eye

cutting deep like friends caught when they lie



raging gives you knowledgs

pack the stars up mirthless



the dancefloor cracks your bones and launches a laugh

the dust creeps in your lungs and stutter coughs

your hand bursts open, hit by treacherous footsteps

sunset



you move slowly - how you bore me, live so slowly

i move slowly - how i bore me, how i bore me
