Shatters Lyrics by Tim Booth

Love Life

0

We wandered through abandoned streets
Shutters torn from walls
Wild dogs flit between the wrecks we keep the children close
Somewhere inside a baby cries / a cry that must be fed
We've not enough to feed ourselves
Too late the boy breaks off and goes
Down through the buckled doors
Down to the mud and the straw
Down where the cables strobe the rupture
Down through the halls of shame
Down past the need for blame
Down where the waste piled up like sculpture
All that shatters, all that shatters
Breaks us open
All that shatters, all that shatters
Lets the light in
All that shatters, all that shatters
Breaks us open
All that shatters, all that shatters
Lets more light in
In the half light I catch sight of her
In laughter‘s 3 note song
In the darkness I’m in need of her
Reach out and then she’s gone
Like a dream she enters in to me
Complete we move as one
Close to touch yet visionary
Fragile and yet strong
In a labcoat they would capture her
Shape her like a bomb
Copyright and manufacture
Her endless fractal song
In foolish hands we kill ourselves
One finger on the gun
In shooting at an enemy who’s everybody’s son
All that shatters, all that shatters
Breaks us open
All that shatters, all that shatters
Lets more light in
All that shatters, all that shatters
Breaks us open
All that shatters, all that shatters
Lets more light in
