New Academics - Line Lyrics

This thing has run its course
I'm exhausted, I'm pregnant with silence
My dreams run endless scenes of sex and violence
I'm breaking the girl who doesn't exist
Fabrication for elation with a psychotic twist
Although my ears hear choirs and my eyes see flowers
The space in between is beseiged by dark powers
Nature's violence inspires us to erupt off the cuff
Undercurrents unrelentlessly bruising, losing ground
With your fingers on my spine and my head wide open
It's easy to see what this means to me
With no gaurantee that we can relate

You can forget nature in harmony
Rivers rush through and carve their own destinies
It's inescapable and your blood flood did the same to me
All valves pumping sumptious tyranny
Your hands became glorious claws that left me raw
Spreading deep beneath the pores
And soul flaws are exposed when clothes are disposed
Skin glows, eyes roll
I'm bruising, losing ground
With your fingers on my spine and my head wide open
I freeze time in my mind and rewind
With no guarantee that she'll do the same, no

Lying on the storeroom floor with your face in my neck
Breathing my scent to life
'Cause all I ever wanted from you
Was a line of your hell
Slice of your heaven
Lying on the storeroom floor with your face in my neck
Breathing my scent to life
'Cause all I ever wanted from you
Was a line of your hell
Slice of your heaven

A pen bent to my hand, I stand on the edge of the Vaal
Watching the weir steer beercans through the roiling roar
As the debris shoots free, I see myself in it's place
Body pummeled by the tumult, lungs expolde in the green-grey
Stone choked, branch-spoked current of shame
My mind is channeled through the falls in this self-indulgent vein
I remain the same ape when you draw back the drapes
All my years bring no escape
I'm bruising, losing ground
With your fingers on my spine and my head wide open
She's playing me, fingernails still flaying me
I'm just praying for a second of doubt, yeah

Lying on the storeroom floor with your face in my neck
Breathing my scent to life
'Cause all I ever wanted from you
Was a line of your hell
Slice of your heaven
Lying on the storeroom floor with your face in my neck
Breathing my scent to life
'Cause all I ever wanted from you
Was a line of your hell
Slice of your heaven

Lying on the storeroom floor with your face in my neck
Breathing my scent to life
'Cause all I ever wanted from you
Was a line of your hell
Slice of your heaven
Lying on the storeroom floor with your face in my neck
Breathing my scent to life
'Cause all I ever wanted from you
Was a line of your hell
Slice of your heaven
