Russian Dolls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Eletric cables
Beneath the atlantic
There's a radar
Beneath the black water
Rain flecks the pain
Inevitably
At the end of the telescope
By the pier
I know you'd rather i didn't say
That i want to look after you
But i'd expect you to say the same
For me someday
This knowledge gives me no pleasure
You can't kill yourself before you're born
Particles like russian dolls
Folding items ever smaller
Frey wire fences
Section off the wilderness
A lonely cluster of woodland stands apart
Like the fingers of a hand
Gently browing
Flat sections of cheap paint
Float like butterflies
I know you'd rather i didn't say
That i want to look after you
But i'd expect you to say the same
To me someday
My demeanour is made to measure
Nothing stirs beneath the farce of daily life
Particles like russian dolls
Folding items ever smaller
If life never ended we'd have no urgency
Connect to boredom and repetition
Particles like russian dolls
Folding items ever smaller
If life never ended we'd have no urgency
Connect to boredom and repetition
