I Mark Time (Parts I & II)

from Same EP by Mute Swimmer

/

lyrics

i mark time
in the usual ways
by a beat or a pulse
or a casio display

i mark time
by the light as its shown
by some external sign
or a gauge of my own

i mark time
as if its fact was assured
as if this bar to the next
were a matter of course

i mark time
until i forget that its there
like the lash on your eye
the clip in your hair

(i know this
and this thing only
for sure)

this is the rise and the fall of your breast as i sing
this is the point and the gaze and what is happening
this is the way unchanged though it flashes before your eyes
this is the way of the blue grey blue sky
this is the rise and the fall of your breast as i sing
this is the rise and the fall and you know not where it began
this is the rise and the fall and you know not when it will end
