MESMERE: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)
• MP3 download whole song, hi-fi

Yes there are quite a few things I regret
Like turning down a night of complicity for small talk

Or wagering all on a life between ledgers
All of my energy sublimated into everyone else

The gradual disillusionment of the last too many hours
Of which I have nothing to show

But a pen pressed too hard into paper
Why couldn’t I just say no?


Why go on like this
When the city is illuminated
Briefly precious
Why go on like this
When the perfect words are tattooed on your palm


When I think of the covering white lies
Avoiding Black Holes
Accepting just that little bit less

All that time eaten by hesitation
Why couldn’t I just say yes?


Why go on like this
When the city is illuminated
Briefly precious
Why go on like this
When the perfect words are tattooed on your palm
