lyrics

RECKONING

EACH SECOND WE COME TO
IS A VICTORY TO BE SUNG
FOR THE EVER LOV’ED DRAW
OF THE AIR INTO THE LUNGS

AND WHO IS IT YOU CALL TO
WHO YOU REFUSE TO NAME?
AND WHAT IS IT I'M DRAWN TO
FROM WHICH I TURN AWAY?

WHAT IS SHOWN
IS SHOWN TO AGE
AND WHAT IS KNOWN
IS KNOWN TO CHANGE

EACH SECOND I COME TO
I'M PULLED UNDER AGAIN
(BY) THE CRUSHINGLY FAMILIAR KNOCK
OF THE BLOOD IN THE VEIN

IF BY CHANCE I REACH YOU
AND IN THAT INSTANT DRAW YOU NEAR
KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT CLAIMS YOU
AND THAT ‘I’ AM DISAPPEARED

AND SO I SING
TO BE REMOVED
AND SO I SING
TO BE IMPROVED
AND SO TO LOVE
AND SO TO MOVE
AND SO TO CHANGE
AND CHANGE ANEW
