Song language: English
Animal Life |
Born inside the gates of a family |
Hardened by a Roman machinery |
Cast among the building sites |
The coiling wires, the shots collected |
Called out in the wake of a lottery |
Held inside the family gathering |
Mirrored beams and dog-like stretch |
A wandering association |
Murmurs in the dark confessional |
And rides along the road, ephemeral |
As an animal life |
Rusting in the shade of the batteries |
Hanging from a rope in the gallery |
Pacing down the balance beam |
Of half-remembered holidays |
No rush of light, no sign of belonging |
No joy in building, love in the finishing |
Chasing down an anodyne |
And half-reflected radiance |
To hide below the ancient barricade |
In chambers like the rooms a swallow made |
For an animal life |
Charging down the maw of the ocean |
I want to come close, I want to come closer |
I held your name inside my mouth |
Through all the days out wandering |
But called up from the mouth of oblivion |
Cast away like dogs from the shelter |
I shed the dulling armor plates |
That once collected radiance |
And, surging at the blood’s perimeter |
The half-remembered wild interior |
Of an animal life |
