lyrics

Beautiful Perhaps

Heaven needs water 
To short out the nausea 
And to dampen the token contempt
 Heaven needs water 
The party is over
 Hung, drawn and quartered and toxic with cul-de-sac intent 

The narrative seeks redemption 
But it’s a picture book version, censored to fiction, as the demons pull us apart
The truth isn’t pretty but it is beautiful perhaps
The truth isn’t pretty but it is beautiful perhaps

I translate my pain down
 A little structure and a little shape now 
A record needle in a defective groove 
My pain becomes language
 An echo of disadvantage 
The art of detachment in an open wound 

The scars can heal to perfection
 But it’s a picture book version, censored to fiction, as the demons pull us apart
The truth isn’t pretty but it is beautiful perhaps
The truth isn’t pretty but it is beautiful perhaps

Heaven needs water 
But kindness is in short order 
Just a lotus flower in the mud 
Heaven sees misery 
With outraged but hollow sympathy 
And happiness is a single raindrop swallowed in the wretched flood 

The fairytale of salvation
 It’s just a picture book version, senseless, bewildered, as the demons pull us apart 
The truth isn’t pretty but it is beautiful perhaps,
The truth isn’t pretty but it is beautiful perhaps - the truth isn’t pretty
