Lyrics

Present Tense

Present tense

A violent corollary is useful

And evergreen

When the line you draw

Keeps shifting

Stronger than your medicine

Songs you thought had beauty

They pale like dead men

Slow kiss from black perfume

Titanics you won't beat me

Love your jealous lover

Become what you seek

Unmoving blues navigate this island

You marked me washed up

Fish up my drunk body

Lulled to a watery grave

I asked the waves who rolls the dead

All life has passed through you

All life remains kneeling in love

Remain kneeling in love
