Body Politics / Porcelain Morning

Arrest the future and construe the past
Pleasure pours for reckless beauty won't outlast
I find it hard to believe and I find it hard to forget
Behind that solar gleam is the sullen soul of regret

Decimation in different tongues
Fixation on what is gone
When our bodies became one
But don't act estranged, for how could we tell what would come?

Mistakes have been made the stakes have been raised again
You'd much rather sink, than call for my hand in help
The water ain't peaceful, but far from the damned and deceitful
When our bodies entwine, there couldn't be anyone else

Mistakes have been made the stakes have been raised again
You'd much rather sink, than call for my hand in help
The water ain't peaceful, but far from the damned and deceitful
When our bodies entwine, there couldn't be anyone else

Porcelain morning, watch how we shine
Look over the valley, fragile in light
Porcelain morning, I'm feeling so fine
Rid all that has happened
Let the sun rinse our stains, as we leave the dead in the night

Porcelain morning, silk down the stream
Your hair smells of smoke and hands of kerosine
Porcelain morning, I feel all that is good
And see minds are sick
But sight turns to shutter, when you even mutter a word

Porcelain morning, temptation is high
A shell of corrosion; guilty served what is right
Porcelain morning, will the dead grip our lives?
Beginning is bathing
Velvet, it dawns, as we are reborn again
