Bleak Landscape Lyrics - Divine Comedy

I cannot reconcile myself to this— 

I wish I could! 

I cannot live the life I ought to live— 

I know I should! 

I cannot bring myself to pray, 

Except to wish these words away 

They echo round my head 

But soon they will escape 

Across the bleak landscape

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

There is a tree that grows out of this earth 

It stands alone 

There is a wind that shaped it from its birth 

By whom the seed was sown 

I cannot bring myself to sing 

It is a wild, untethered thing 

That echoes round my head 

But soon it will escape 

Across the bleak landscape 

Photos 

I cannot bring myself to... speak 

Except to wish myself asleep 

Every word unuttered 

Only serves to clutter up my head 

When I go to bed 

I dream that 

Soon I will escape 

Across the bleak landscape 

And soon we shall escape 

Across our very own bleak landscape
