The Most Unfortunate Lie - Lyrics by Swans


Lyrics
Someone was here before me and they took the possibility away
And without any control or freedom the elements were laid downin this way
And so my mind is slowly devoured by the ideas to which it subscribes
And in the end I'm left with nothing except the memory ofbelieving my own lies
And where are you now, my most unfortunate lie?
The light shows my face in the mirror and my hand as it reachesto touch
The evidence of pain and delusion and a mind which was never clearenough
I saw the sun rise in an ancient desert where this moment was firstforetold
And the black water was thick as blood and my hands they were full ofgold
And where are you now, the most lethal, all consuming lie I ever told?
Where are you now, my unfortunate, irreversible lie?
