Q&A
Tape End Lyrics
sweaty palms were clutched to the
tape recorder
that once kept secrets of a palpitating
pillow
with thin dirty hair straws filled with
questions to be answered
he lies without breathing
just to hear the mourning of his own pulse
"it's always a fucking half moon on
new years eve"
the dry lips angrily flooded out
"...and the stars fail me!"
so as the audio repeated itself
a long burned out recorded romance
was now an overdubbed orgy of heart-
broken howls
pale and almost see-through
his skin mostly reminded him of
the flickering bathroom light that
made him sputter and continuously
he stutters
"this I am
this I was
and this is who you will become"
and as the white noise laid to rest
the silence struck as a violent wind
vision started to sting
and his head started to waltz to the
swing of a polluted pendulum
playing dead with open eyes
he slowly places the recorder close to ear
and is left with a lick from a thousand
coffin tongues
"you are listening to a dead man speak"
he was found with the face of a dirty sea rising
tape end
can't stop
tape recorder
that once kept secrets of a palpitating
pillow
questions to be answered
he lies without breathing
just to hear the mourning of his own pulse
new years eve"
the dry lips angrily flooded out
"...and the stars fail me!"
a long burned out recorded romance
was now an overdubbed orgy of heart-
broken howls
his skin mostly reminded him of
the flickering bathroom light that
made him sputter and continuously
this I was
and this is who you will become"
the silence struck as a violent wind
vision started to sting
and his head started to waltz to the
swing of a polluted pendulum
he slowly places the recorder close to ear
and is left with a lick from a thousand
coffin tongues
