I decided I’d post a little bootleg from the show It Was Twenty Years Ago Today I did with Topology at the Brisbane Powerhouse in June. Hope you enjoy. x

I Cannot Be Saved

tara — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 05:43:53 +0000

There are some things that I know and some I would not choose
You come at me from the side where I couldn’t see you move

I cannot be saved in spite of my resilience
I can’t help but be your slave

Soon enough I know that I will not be sleeping well again
I’ll be wondering how I was so easily overtaken

I cannot be saved in spite of my resilience
I cannot be saved in spite of my persistence
I can’t help but feel ashamed

All You Can

We’re all scared that we’ve finally missed the boat
It’s like an epidemic that’s hit the lives of everyone around me
I’ve felt the same as many have before
I’ve watched the drowning going on around here and I don’t like it at all

And you do all you can
When you can’t sleep at night
And there’s a shadow on your wall
and it will come swallow you whole
because your longing will become you

I am guilty of the facts
I have cried for hours just because these walls deceive me
The trouble is that we’re all after the same thing
There’s just not enough of the good stuff to go around and I wonder what they will leave me

And you do all you can
When you can’t sleep at night
And there’s a shadow on your wall
and it will come swallow you whole
because your longing will become you

It will become you.
