Causes Lyrics by Nick Mulvey

New Mythology

2022

Oh, my tawny one
Is it love you're running from?
Come on and tell us when you're done
And have you suffered enough?
Or still bound by a lover's keep
Pleading don't go back to sleep

But oh, my, my sensation
Had me reaching for the heel
Had me begging for the end of this reel
Saying oh no, anything but this
This pain that I resist
This pain that persists

We hate suffering but we think we love its causes
Escape suffering, but we hold on to its causes

Every time I turn my back
Every time I walk away there's a voice, I hear it say
Have you suffered enough?
Or can we play with the tragedy
As just another way to get free?

We hate suffering but we think we love its causes
Escape suffering, but we hold on to its causes

Oh, la-la-lay
Forgive me, I was lost, I was astray
Oh, la-la-lay
Thank you for remembering the way
Oh, la-la-lay, ooh
Oh, la-la-lay, ooh

Jenny was a dream in the mind of Hannah as she slept in her bed
Dreaming she was Jenny instead
Jenny pulls a book down from the shelf
She finds solace in the words, solace for a separate self

She hates suffering, but she thinks she loves its causes
Escapes suffering but she holds on to its causes

Oh, la-la-lay, ooh
Oh, la-la-lay
Sorry that I caused you any pain
Oh, la-la-lay

Forgive me, I was lost, I was astray
Oh, la-la-lay
Thank you for remembering the way

Oh, la-la-lay
I love you more than words could ever say

Oh, la-la-lay, ooh
Oh, la-la-lay, ooh
Oh, la-la-lay
I love you more than words could ever say

Thank you for remembering the way
