Lyrics
Collision
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.
The undeniably straight archer is dead
Sadly masculine his naked body lies beside me
Stretched out on the pale sheets
Of my otherwise deserted bed
(I do not know how he got here
I do not know how he got here)
I am not even sure, if I am hiding him
(I do not know) Trophy or lost property
(I do not know) Did I drag him to this place
Slave to some dark desire
(I do not know) or have I merely found him here
In childlike innocence and curiosity?
(I do not know how he got here
I do not know how he got here
I do not know how he got here
I do not know, I do not know)
Assuming blackness
His left nipple is now facing me
(I do not know how he got here)
The same old symbol for reality (I do not know)
Further than ever from attraction
Except, of course, for crawling things
(I do not know how he got here)
But we're all crawling on some floor
(I do not know how he got here)
(You will not tease me) You will not tease me
(Nevermore) nevermore, nevermore
(I do not know how he got here
I do not know how he got here)
His head now points towards the window in the west
His feet towards the door (I do not know)
His limbs in slight disorder
After my vain attempt to move him over
To a slightly different position
(I do not know how he got here
I do not know how he got here)
I fear that the disturbance of his rest
Has caused some liquid "correspondence"
To escape his quiet, oh so human shell
(What secrets do you hide in there?
What secrets do you hide in there?)
Leaning my face against the left side of his flesh
I place my right hand gently now upon his belly
(I do not know how he got here)
Hoping not to wake the horrors
Of that half-forgotten sense
(I do not know how he got here)
I can't believe that I do actually consider this again
I must refuse to share my bed now with carcass of a man
(I do not know how he got here
I do not know how he got here)
No vicious jokes to break the fragile little heart
This is the deeper secret of the worlds we are apart
Is this perhaps some kind of test?
Shall I have vengeance on your flesh? (I do not know)
Now that you're dead am I supposed
to inflict that sentence on your corpse? (I do not know)
To pay you back the laughter
That never really flooded from your mouth
Would your thin lips have ever released
Such agony and shame on me?
Scared to death by and of my own request
Maybe like this it's really for the best
I'll seal your carcass with a kiss
(I'll seal your carcass with a kiss)
And let you disappear
(And let you disappear)
