Album | Do You Know Me Now? |
[00:06.39] | And if you think you knew me then |
[00:11.18] | You don’t know me now |
[00:15.96] | As the ground rose up to meet me |
[00:20.70] | I kissed your mouth |
[00:25.38] | You wore your boredom like an armor |
[00:30.38] | But I tuned you out |
[00:35.22] | And if that brought us to our knees |
[00:40.16] | We laughed all the way down |
[00:45.03] | I prized my daddy’s ring from my hand |
[00:50.21] | And I made a bride |
[00:54.44] | We grew a flower in the desert |
[00:59.63] | We grew terrified |
[01:03.95] | We were one, not one and the same |
[01:09.18] | Something was lost somehow |
[01:13.82] | And if you think you knew me then |
[01:19.15] | You don’t know me now |
[01:24.40] | The planets high above you |
[01:29.33] | Spun in houses of their own |
[01:34.12] | You were dropped and hit the ground running |
[01:39.16] | But they failed to lead you home |
[01:46.65] | And if you think you knew me then |
[01:51.14] | Do you know me now |
[01:55.73] | I drew a child inside a womb |
[02:00.48] | Justified myself |
[02:05.77] | I stole the face of joy, the perfume of wealth |
[02:15.44] | I atomised the boy within before he cut himself |
[02:25.04] | You found the blood upon my clothes |
[02:29.98] | And you washed it out |
[02:34.88] | And if you think you knew me then |
[02:39.61] | You don’t know me now |
[02:44.84] | There were children in the classroom |
[02:49.74] | Erected without a nail |
[02:54.77] | There were hornets in the heads of cattle |
[02:59.60] | That vibrated to the sound |
[03:06.75] | You cried wolf |
[03:09.05] | I tracked one down and let it in |
[03:16.71] | There were lambs, sure there was blood |
[03:21.34] | There were psalms to sing |
[03:25.72] | You could just see the bone jut out |
[03:30.85] | Penetrate the skin |
[03:35.64] | Did it dispel beyond all doubt the mess we’re in? |
[03:45.36] | You raised your head |
[03:47.83] | I stared you down |
[03:50.04] | You still don’t know how |
[03:55.15] | And if you think you knew me then |
[03:59.83] | You don’t know me now |
[04:05.21] | I was happy, satiated |
[04:10.35] | I was satisfied |
[00:06.39] | And if you think you knew me then |
[00:11.18] | You don' t know me now |
[00:15.96] | As the ground rose up to meet me |
