Effigy Of Salt

Effigy Of Salt

(альбом: La Vita Nuova - 2020)

What a way, what a way to go
What a fine and inexplicable way of going, this
What an uncanny visitation
Taking me into the depths
And leaving me stranded

What a way, what a way to go
What a peculiar and exquisite way of going, this
I've been ready I've been willing all along and all the way down I go
And you will never know
Just how far down I let you
And it's all the way I go

Just to look at you
One last look is all I take before I have to go
Just to look at you
Like an effigy of salt
I'm swept away I sparkle forth
In diamond rays I fall forever
Just to look at you
And it's down, down, down I go

I hate the things I know
I wish I could retrace my steps before I went down to the sea
Where I crept along the depths and prodded underneath
All along and far too deep
At every creature, every foundling
Every horrid gaping mouth

Just to look at you
One last look is all I take before I have to go
Just to look at you
When the lexicon is emptied out
Of every thought and every breath
There is no language left
But just to look at you
And it's down, down, down I go

My beloved, my curse
How you've ripped me open and you've heaped upon my hurt
And the many things that you have required of me
How they frighten and inspire me
The arch of your brow
And the way everything is laid out

Just to look at you
One last look is all I take before I have to go
Just to look at you
The honey of your skin, the heart shape of your mouth
Oh, there I go again, I'll leave it out
Just let me look at you
And it's down, down, down I go

Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down I go...
