The Manifold Curiosity Lyrics - Singles - Kayo Dot

It never hurt this much before, 

And I feel I'm courting Saturn. 

The Twelve-Eyed Secret gazes through a prism, 

Staring into raindrops swirling slow 

It lifts its horrible heads 

With lidless orbs of limitless vision. 

I dream with fluid movements in a lake 

The ripples cast from skipping stones 

We speak below a gushing mind, 

Crouching in a corner, hid behind a box 

Full of Worms and stalking shadows. 

Magnetism draws me to a cone of space; 

I sift still through hours of its plasma, 

Biding time until the clocks collapse. 

Music shattered my spine on the steps outside; 

I cannot move; my liquid breathing 

Is sculpted with this binding gel. 

But come, my love, and rescue me 

From failure. 

Cover me with an opium sheet, 

Embrace me with gossamer; 

Kiss the moonstones from my eyes 

And brush the cobwebs from my bones. 

It all sings beautifully; 

With all your strength believe this. 

But I know you can't understand 

Why I threw myself from the glass again.
