Two small deaths happened today
While I was at work
While I was at play
A vast light darkens my door
So I cannot cry
Now what is that for?
Is this the way my mind works?
Forwards, always onwards
Is this the way my brain waits?
Backwards, sideways
I've no heart strong and that's why
Sting to miss and to mourn
Love, wild at its path
Sing
I'm saving up all of my strength
for when I finally fail
at keeping you safe
when my last friend should leave me
it's alright, easy
While I was at work
While I was at play
A vast light darkens my door
So I cannot cry
Now what is that for?
Is this the way my mind works?
Forwards, always onwards
Is this the way my brain waits?
Backwards, sideways
I've no heart strong and that's why
Sting to miss and to mourn
Love, wild at its path
Sing
I'm saving up all of my strength
for when I finally fail
at keeping you safe
when my last friend should leave me
it's alright, easy

while i/all was at work
while all/i was at play
it's difficult to be sure she's saying I... it hard not to hear as almost interchangeable...
i don't know if she's saying "a vast light darkens my door," or "all this light darkens my door." i used to think the latter, but then i read this, and now i can't be certain.
where you have "forwards, always onwards," i can't hear the onwards. i hear it as "forwards, always forwards."
i've no heart strong and that's life's sting
to miss and to mourn
love, wild at its path
sing
INSTEAD OF THIS, I HEAR something more like:
i've no heart strong enough i
sting to miss and to mourn
the world at its passing
i can't quite hear "slow ride, easy," but i'm not sure what she is actually saying... sounds more like "slow AND easy"... also don't know about "i'll be creeping alone now." i thought she might be saying "i'll be creeping all over"... but it's anyone's guess :)
i can't do the "i've no heart strong enough i" part. i hear a consonant in there for sure, like an "L", but what i'm thinking is that perhaps it's something like "the world at its PAS-SING" where she elongates the syllables over multiple phrases. maybe something like "i've no heart strong and it's LA-STING to miss and to mourn." thoughts?
"i've no heart strong and that's LA-STING to miss and to mourn"...maybe...but probably not.
