1. "I’ve felt you coming girl, as you drew near I knew you’d find me, ... I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting And how every little thing anticipates you"
2.In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over (...) I would talk to you of all matter of things
3.And I don’t believe in the existence of angels (...) But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path
4.All outward motion connects to nothing For each is concerned with their immediate need Then she drew the curtains down And said, when will you ever learn That what happens there beyond the glass Is simply none of your concern? And God does not care for your benevolence Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others Nor does he care for you to sit At windows in judgement of the world he created While sorrows pile up around you Ugly, useless and over-inflated At which she turned her head away Great tears leaping from her eyes I could not wipe the smile from my face As I sat sadly by her side

1. "I’ve felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you’d find me, ...
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you"
2.In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over (...)
I would talk to you of all matter of things
3.And I don’t believe in the existence of angels
(...)
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
4.All outward motion connects to nothing
For each is concerned with their immediate need
Then she drew the curtains down
And said, when will you ever learn
That what happens there beyond the glass
Is simply none of your concern?
And God does not care for your benevolence
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
Nor does he care for you to sit
At windows in judgement of the world he created
While sorrows pile up around you
Ugly, useless and over-inflated
At which she turned her head away
Great tears leaping from her eyes
I could not wipe the smile from my face
As I sat sadly by her side
