Paternoster

There you are
Sitting in silence
Giving your worst side space to play

And you go
Faking a deadlock
Wondering if you'll really be okay

For all we know
The way you cope
Was written 30 years before today

You'll stay a while
Burn out in style
And wonder if the narrative will change

Why deny it, boy?
You're stuck inside a paternoster
In devastated joy
An elevated void

You're lending it your voice
But any floor will lift you out
Deliverance won't come
While the paternoster runs

There you are again
Perfectly contented
As you come to rest
Terrified outside the bounds you set

You see the prospect now
You see the future waiting there
In formal dress
And count yourself for less

Going wrong
Your love keeps going wrong
But it could be much better
In forever

Going wrong
Your love keeps going wrong
But it could be much better
In forever

There you are again
You tend yourself
Like early primrose flower beds
A plot to sow new pathways in your head

And what becomes you now?
You search for signs of life
In deepest ocean vents
With less than one full breath

Why deny it, boy?
You're stuck inside a paternoster
In devastated joy
An elevated void

You're lending it your voice
But any floor will lift you out
Deliverance won't come
While the paternoster runs

Going wrong
Your love keeps going wrong
But it could be much better
In forever

Going wrong
Your love keeps going wrong
But it could be much better
In forever

Going wrong
Your love keeps going wrong
But it could be much better
In forever

Going wrong
Your love keeps going wrong
But it could be much better
In forever
